A CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND SOLIDARITY ACTIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE THESSALONIKI PRISONERS :: SUNDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER 2003 ::

Comrades in Greece have called for an International day of Solidarity for the Thessaloniki prisoners. The date for this is Sunday 21st September.

This is to coincide with the arrival of a musical caravan, starting from Spain, travelling through cities in Europe and arriving to play a concert on the night of Sunday 21st, in Thessaloniki, Greece.

The trip aims to raise awareness among the international activist community of the need for ongoing support for the prisoners and to continue our actions and protests demanding that all charges are dropped and that they are released immediately.

The London support group are calling for actions across the UK around this date on either Saturday 20th, Sunday 21st or Monday 22nd September.

Please let us know details if you're planning an action so that it can be publicised beforehand, or if you prefer, so that it can be reported on after.

If you live in London, the Prisoners Solidarity group meet each Wednesday from 7.30pm at the Autonomie Club, Freedom Bookshop, Angel Alley, 84B Whitechapel High Street, E1.
