ATHENS, Feb. 24 ((Xinhua) -- A protest held by a group of inmates at Greece's Korydallos Prison, which is housing maximum security inmates, ended on Saturday with no injuries, according to Greek national news agency AMNA.

The turmoil had started earlier on Saturday in protest at the transfer of anarchist inmate Konstantinos Yantzoglou to another prison complex.

In a post on an anarchist website, a group of self-claimed "political prisoners" including Dimitris Koufontinas, a leading "November 17" terrorist group member who is serving 11 life sentences for murder, had demanded the stay of the prisoner to end the turmoil.

Yantzoglou who was arrested in October for the terror attack against former Premier Lucas Papademos last May, was transferred to a prison in central Greece.

Papademos who had served as an interim Prime Minister from November 2011 to May 2012, was injured when a letter bomb exploded inside his car in the center of Athens.
