One of the activists said, “The evidence is striking! Simon was seen wearing his blue rucksack when he was first dragged across the street by the police. Minutes later he was filmed surrounded by three black rucksacks which the police had filled with molotov's. It's all on film!”
LATEST UPDATE -- They're OUT! All 7 have been released on bail. See IMC UK for more information.
On Monday the chief prosecutor issued a 70 page document opposing bail but under Greek law this is only a recommendation and the final decision will be taken by a panel of judges over the next few days. So there is still time to exert pressure on the Greek authorities.
