Weren't all the Thessaloniki prisoners released? If so what is the point of this?

The 7 Thessaloniki Prisoners (including the 5 hungerstrikers) were released on November 26th, 2003. These were the last prisoners detained due to the facts of Thessaloniki EU Summit. Though people were released from prisoner around 8 still faced charges and were out on bail (this includes Carlos Matinez from Spain). These trials are a continuation of the repression unleashed at the EU summit during its presidency and now over 19 months after the initial arrests it is vital that we continue showing the solidarity.
