Today we learned that the prosecutor (eisaggeleas, kind of a judge) decided to close the inquiry against the police that put molotov cocktails in a black bag and then said that this was Simon's bag.

The prosecutor also says that the videos [that was aired live that day, June 21st, by a state-owned television channel] and the photos, were all "made up"!

Even more, he says that the police did not act brutally, and that Simon Chapman was injured as he was trying to escape! While, in both the video and the photos, we can see the riot police beat Chapman who has blood all over his face...

Even worst, that means that things will be very difficult for all 7 people arrested in Thessaloniki. Simon's case was pretty clear and now a blind judge refuses to see the clear truth. We can imagine what is next!
