Update of situation of some Thessaloniki prisoners
A las barricadas | 24.06.2003 12:57 | Thessaloniki EU | Repression | Social Struggles | World
We have just been informed that the comrade (F), is suffering tortures, having health problems and propensity to anaemia. And now he is portrayed in the media as a "basque libertarian, sought internationally..."(!!!), expert in "international terrorism" (!!)...and presenting him as little less than, as a species of "subcomandante"(!!)
The media campaign, according to Greek comrades, compares to nothing. But they suspect that the message that they want to transmit is that of control of "the dangerous and autochthonous elements " and that all events of this weekend are due to foreign elements... And also, deviate public attention from of the use of gases that are prohibited by Greek laws, gases used in Vietnam by the USA (Cn, Cs).
The comrades with whom we are in contact are still suffering symptoms like discomfort in lungs and eyes.
Twenty-eight persons have their hearing today. The comrade (F) is has it tomorrow, and it seems that want they want to charge him with possession of weapons (!!), so as to hold him for 18 months in preventive prison.
The charges on this companion are very serious, it seems they want to put as "scapegoat" and he could be condemned to up to 15 years of prison (!!!!). THE SITUATION IS VERY SERIOUS
Another companion that is in a very delicate situation is the comrade from Syria, who, as we informed before, will be condemned to the death penalty if he is extradited to his country of origin.
They all have suffered tortures, and continue to suffer tortures at this moment. The comrade (C.) has had his arms completely bruised and he has lost part of his hair, because they pulled it out of his head as torture.
We expect to offer a bank account in support for the comrades shortly.
SOLIDARITY URGENT AND ACTIVE AGAINST THE REPRESSION!
