Solidarity from London to imprisoned hunger strikers in Greece

Tuesday, December 17, 2013

On the morning of December 15th, about 15 comrades gathered in Central London, hung a banner from a bridge and handed out a text to raise awareness about the case of Spiros Stratoulis, currently on hunger strike.
Spiros Stratoulis, on hunger strike since November 11th, is demanding to be given back the right to prison leave which has been withdrawn with the excuse of his being involved in the ”Stekia Thessalonikis” case. Police began investigations, accusing 60 people of participating in actions of the antiauthoritarian and anarchist milieu. Even though the 60 comrades have been released until the trial, Spiros, being already imprisoned, was arbitrarily deprived from his leave permits. The reason behind this is that Spiros is involved in the struggle inside prison as well as in the struggle against the suppression of his prisoners’ rights; he is clearly being punished for his political beliefs. It is noteworthy that the prison director told him to not even dare to think about asking for permission.
The Stratoulis case brings up the disgusting face of the jurisdictional and correctional system of Greece. More precisely:
· the complete violation of the rights of prisoners
· the punishment of prisoners participating in political activities
· the arbitrariness and authoritarianism of prison directors and judges
In solidarity with imprisoned fighter Spiros Stratoulis, Rami Sirianos started his hunger strike on November 21st; E. Mustafa and M. Ramantanoglou on November 25th.
The correctional system is aiming to punish every struggle inside prison and every politicized prisoner for his beliefs; thus continuing the oppression of their ”democratic society” outside the prison, against those who resist and fight for dignity and freedom. The struggle for prisoner’s rights, the struggle for a society without prisons is both long-term and tough.

Five anarchists go on hunger and thirst strike in Korydalos prison

Saturday, December 14, 2013

greek original
Yesterday, on Thursday December 12th, while we were locked in our cells, the human-keeper Giannis Mylonas spoke to us in a derogatory way. Today, when we asked him for an explanation he continued to be quarrelsome – resulting in him taking back a small proportion of the violence he exercises daily with his key.
The prison administration, testing out our limits and our endurance, decided to break up our community. At this moment, the five of us are isolated in the disciplinary section of the Third Wing while our comrades Giannis Naxakis and Babis Tsilianidis have been trasferred to the Fourth Wing and comrade Grigoris Sarafoudis to the Fifth Wing respectively (not in their disciplinary sections).
We are determined to defend our community at any cost, as it is our main vital element in the rotten world of the prison. We do not haggle our dignity before any cowardly servant of legal order.
As of today, 13/12, we go on a hunger and thirst strike demanding the return of both us and our comrades to the First Wing.
Those responsible for what may happen from now on are wardens Vasilis Lamprakis, Giannis Kontopoulos and Nikos Petropoulos; the prison director, Maria Stefi, the attorney Troupi and the head of the social services, Vaso Frakathoula, which form the prison council.
NOT A STEP BACK
PS Our thoughts are with the captive fighters and hunger strikers Spyros Stratoulis, Rami Sirianos, Erion Mustafa and Michalis Ramantanoglou.
STRENGTH, YOU ROAMERS, UNTIL VICTORY.
