Neither torture nor the psychological war nor do devastating penalties will make me kneel. I'm stronger than ever and I have unwavering faith in my struggle and revolution. Now I can look straight my kids eyes and be proud. Besides, their birth at 6 December 2008 is like an order for me to keep going. Finally, in this text I want to honor my partner Lambros Foundas murdered by the regime. This battle had this beautiful fighter that will always remain etched in our hearts.
By the next morning begins a more "friendly" interrogation methods. The duration of this "approach" lasted until the last night of my detention in prison of Trikala. Leading role is played by three senior counter-terrorism officers. As if nothing had happened the previous night Cigarettes, water, soft drinks, sandwiches, coffee and ...whiskey with chips, always to the discretion of my order. The "friendly" approach continued with questions that had been asked during my torture. The scenery had everything - CD's with my telephone private conversations, photographs, policemen trying to "serve" me drinks.. the role of the coffeehouse owner with disk in hand! All this because "I was an educated man with woman with children, while others were" perverted, crazy "and many others. From the beginning they were betting that I am father of small children and they hoped that I will cooperate. "Your children you don't think, how they grow up? Tell us and we will ensure you just a few years in prison. Even offered me money just before my "apology" to investigating magistrate. "Tell me and I'll give you 50 K Euros to give your woman. No one will learn... " The next days passed me through the same process and that goes on every 3-4 hours. So the days passed until 17th April so transfered me with V. Stathopoulos, to Trikala prison (250km from Athens) . That was a reward for the no cooperation and placed my pre-trial detention in such great distances virtually deprives me the opportunity to see My wife and kids. Besides, of course the main goal is to make it difficult to communicate with my mate Maziotis kept at Korydallos prison. To clarify things ... Chosen to publish this letter describing my tortures , after the "LETTER TO THE society" for very specific reasons. First, I include my tortures, but also the friendly approach, the same process: Interrogation! The main aim of torture was not revenge, but getting information out of me. I want to become clear that I write these lines now, after taking responsibility for my participation in the Revolutionary Struggle , not to say that I am VICTIM OF STATE Brutality. The publication of these facts do not constitute in any way complaints for my torture (that was expected anyway..) . My goal is to demonstrate the obsolete and inefficient methods of interrogation and to contribute with this description as a knowledge of the continuation of strangle in captivity.I declare that my position is clear following the proud revolutionary history of all those who were ans are prisoners of the regime. I am proud of my participation in the Revolutionary Struggle, the path has been set and is an important contributions to society - class war. Neither torture nor the psychological war nor do devastating penalties will make me kneel. I'm stronger than ever and I have unwavering faith in my struggle and revolution. Now I can look straight my kids eyes and be proud. Besides, their birth at 6 December 2008 is like an order for me to keep going. Finally, in this text I want to honor my partner Lambros Foundas murdered by the regime. This battle had this beautiful fighter that will always remain etched in our hearts.
