On Saturday 8 January we call all those that have supported and shown solidarity with the hungerstrikers of thessaloniki to meet at the Greek Embassy in London. We have chosen the embassy because it is the symbol of the greek state in London. We hope as many people can attend and make their presence felt.

At the EU summit in Thessaloniki in 2003 130 were arrested for their part in the demonstrations. 7 are still facing charges (including Carlos, one of the hungerstrikers jailed in the period immediately following the summit) & are due to go to trial on 13th january 2005. International days of action are being called for the 8th - 13th january 2005.
