The Sect of Revolutionaries or the Rebel Sect (Greek: Σέχτα των Επαναστατών, Sechta ton Epanastaton) was an anarchist militant group which was active in Greece.[1] Formed after the 2008 police killing of Alexis Grigoropoulos, the group killed an anti-terrorist police officer the following year. It also claimed responsibility for the assassination of Sokratis Giolias in 2010. There has not been a reported attack by the Sect of Revolutionaries since 2011.
