I recently posted an article about the mass prison hunger strike in Greece, a protest against an extremely repressive system and proposed draconian legislation. Here is an update with the hunger strike now in its forth day. It is now wide spread across all the Greek prisons. with more than 4,000 prisoners now taking part in the hunger strike protest. By the 23rd. June those participating in this protest against cruelty and repression were:
Koridallos, Athens: 1,300 inmates
Patras: 550 inmates
Grevena: 400 inmates
Larissa: 300 inmates
Chania, Crete: 280 inmates
Domokos (where the Greek State intends to establish the first maximum security prison): 4 wings; that is, 240 inmates
Amfissa: 200 inmates
Corfu: 120 inmates
Trikala: 120 inmates
Malandrino (one of the toughest prisons; also where Ilir Kareli took the life of a miserable torturer-guard): 120 inmates
Avlonas (juvenile prison): 100 inmates
Nigrita, Serres (where prisoner Ilir Kareli was recently murdered by torturers-guards): 80 inmates
Nafplion: 50 inmates
On the evening of June 24th – 2nd day of mass hunger strike of over 3,900 prisoners across Greece
To date that figure is is now 4,180. For so many people to take such desperate action, tells you something is rotten at the heart of the system. We owe them all the support and solidarity that we can muster. More information HERE.
