There is convincing evidence which clearly demonstrates police brutality and the planting of evidence on Simon Chapman. This includes photos and TV footage from the Greek national news channel ET3. On 25 Nov 03, a photo by Reuters photographer Yannis Behrakis was publicised.


The TV footage has been compiled into a video, which can be downloaded in different versions:

All seven of the prisoners who remain imprisoned have been charged together with the same offences - even though they were arrested at different times in different places and had never before met!

Here some screengrabs of the footage mentioned above:
