Public petition-alarm call releashed by the 5 hunger strikers' doctors

wdm | 16.11.2003 15:31 | Thessaloniki EU | Globalisation | Indymedia | London | World

Here is the public petition-alarm call written by the three doctors of the 5 hunger strikers of thessaloniki.....adressing as the only one responsible the greek goverment.
But also proving how the goverment is ussing these days the dying 5... as a bite, in order to agress and to force in extreme violence all the solidarity movement at the up-comming (annual) demos of the national feest of 17November....and eventually arrest even more comrades... so athens is gonna be secure for the summer ollympic games...and all americans as well

Any violent (either spontaneous or on-spontaneous) reaction to the challenges of power and any idealization of the violence which could be used from the life-guards for the facilitation of their plans, seems as an accomplice with the death and it is turned straightly against the health, the life and the freedom of the five hung

ΤΗΕ DOCTORS OF ΤΗΕ FIVE HUNGER-STRIKERS ALERT FOR THE DEFENCE OF
HEALTH, LIFE AND THEIR FREEDOM


We, Kleanthis Grivas, Alexandra Efthimiadou Griva and Maria-Mirto Griva, doctors of the five political detainees, Simon Chapman, Carlos Martin-Martinez, Fernando Perrez-Gorraiz, Solaiman Dakdouk and Spyros Tsitsas, ADDRESS PUBLIC CALL in all those that intend they take part in the events of 30th anniversary of revolt of Technical university.

It is necessary that the following critical question can be answered by all active citizens
"WHY DID THEY TRANFER 5 STRIKERS of HUNGER FROM THESSALONIKI TO ATHENS, A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE 30th ANIVERSARY of TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY REVOLT":

1) According to the orders of minister of Justice F. Petsalnikos, towards the administrative director of Papanjkolaou Hospital in Thessaloniki,
Thrasivoulos Ventouris (as it is also marked in relative papers of the patients).
2) While their familiar persons, their lawyers and their personal doctor knew nothing
3) Following western type enterprise of five patients from the hospital in the 2.30 night 10th to 11 November 2003 (unprecedented action, according to the nursing chronicles of country, that is sure that could expose them to the Greek and international common sence).


The "ARGUMENTS" the cooperating repressive and administrative mechanisms, according to which the transport became for reasons of "better
hospitalisation" and "safety" are obviously false and fools, because they presuppose:

1) That in a city, as modern as Thessaloniki can be, they could not be kept in "conditions of safety" 5 young men that are between life and death, due to the hunger-strike which lasts 39-56 days (individually).

2) That in the completely manned and equipped hospitals and the academic clinics of Thessaloniki, satisfactory hospitalisation could not be provided to five patients (!) and this could exist in the Hospital of Koridalos Prisons that exists only in the papers and as building structure (as it is proved by the fact that all the serious incidents are transfered immediately to the State Hospital of Nikaea).

CONSEQUENTLY, there's no other explanation left, that the autonomous parallel departments of repressive mechanisms (that are
organised, checked and guided by the American factor) with the transport of 5 hunger-strikers to Athens CREATED a "point of
peak" based on which they will attempt to cause extensive violent actions in the centre of city (by exploiting the Fair INDIGNATION of common opinion for the revealed brutal violation of each significance of right, humanism and culture in the case of 5 hunger-strikers ), in
the frame of a strategy that aims at:

1) the DISORIENTATION of common opinion from a sociopolitical economic situation, unfavourable for the administrators of power.
2) the WEAKENING of SUPPORT of common opinion in the five hunger-strikers .
3) In the A POSTERIORI COMPURGATION of SAVAGERY by the repressive mechanisms (that are in place of defendant and apologizer).
And, mainly,
4) FINALLY, CANCELLATION of the TEMPORARY RELEASE of the five hunger strikers (that seems forecoming). It is obvious that, if somebodies are an accessory in the drawings of repressive mechanisms in the creation of episodes, NO JURIDICIAL BEGINNING is not to pronounce positively in the demand for temporary release of the detainees.
As doctors of five hunger-strikers , interested mainly for their life, the health and their freedom, WE MAKE PUBLIC CALL to everyone not to comply with any challengers trying to promote the plans of the autonomous parallel departments of the repressive mechanisms and their dark instructors, harming the five hunger strikers that are in the verge of life and death.


Any violent (either spontaneous or on-spontaneous) reaction to the challenges of power and any idealization of the violence which could be used from the life-guards for the facilitation of their plans, seems as an accomplice with the death and it is turned straightly against the health, the life and the freedom of the five hunger-strikers.

Thessaloniki, 15 November 2003
