He was a student during the period of the occupation of the Athens polytechnic. He rose to prominence as the mouthpiece of the resistance radio, calling for support to come to the polytechnic when it was beseiged by the, then, fascist military.
He is planning on spending four or five days in London in mid-November, speaking at various schools, though I am trying to interest him in doing a public talk, especially as the date is so near the anniversary of
17th of November, 1973 when tanks were used to crush a student occupation of the Athens polytechnic, resulted in several deaths and the creation of a 'cop-free zone' which endures to this day!
2 years ago, former US president KKKlinton had the audacity to visit Greece during this period, as part of a wider Balkan tour. 100,000 Greeks rioted against him, and possible/probable CIA involvement in the military coup 0f 1973.
