The press office at the Embassy of Greece have been sending e-mails to members of the public who sent e-mails in protest over their countries treatment of Simon Chapman who was released earlier this year without charge.

As you all may be aware of how Simon Chapman was treated by the Greek police, being beaten up, fitted up and stuck in a squalid prison, many of you sent e-mails in protest to the Greek Embassy for his release after viewing footage of the Greek police placing items into a black holdall which included petrol bombs and a hammer and placing this holdall beside Simon who with others spent many weeks on hunger strike, protesting their innocence.

The campaign was successful and Simon was released without being convicted of any offence in Greece, he has been able to return home to his family and friends in the U.K. unfortunatly the press office at the Embassy of Greece are not satisfied with this outcome and they've been involved in sending out malicious e,mails infected with various viruses including the MY DOOM virus.

Those of us who have PCs should run a security check on our home computers to see if they've been infected and those of us recieving mail from the pressoffice@greekembassy shouldn't open any attatchment unless they have a security package on their computer which blocks potential attacks.

The press office at the Embassy of Greece should be warned that continued harassment of U.K. citizens and those who campaigned for the release of Simon Chapman will result in legal action being taken against the Greek Embassy.

If any other person involved in the campaign to free Simon Chapman has had similar e,mails can they post up on this newswire as soon as possible, so that if this continued harassment by employees within the press office at the Embassy of Greece continues we can notify the right firm of solicitors to take legal action against the Greek Embassy in due course.
