Start of a hungerstrike of the imprisoned D. Chatzivasiliadis
Full original title: Freedom to G.Michailidis - Start of a hungerstrike of the imprisoned D. Chatzivasiliadis
Imprisoned comrade Dimitris Chatzivasiliadis started today a hunger strike in solidarity with hunger striker Giannis Michailidis. Anarchist G. Michailidis has been on hunger strike since 23/5 to demand his legitimate release from prison. He is already on his 51st day with the risk of permanent damage to his health. In this circumstance, the judicial authorities are prolonging the torture of Giannis since, to date, the prosecutor has not made any recommendation on the demands of the hunger striker.
Text of imprisoned comrades for Giannis Michailidis
Comrade Giannis Michailidis, without renouncing his political identity, without signing statements of repentance, is fighting a long and difficult struggle for his freedom against the special regime of exception that the judicial process, bourgeois justice, has formed. Prison is a mechanism of coercion, the ultimate mechanism of control and recording, a system of surveillance and extermination, of forced transformation of character, but Giannis has endured. He has not forgotten, he has not broken down, and he is now fighting, not only for his personal freedom, but for all the imprisoned and unprisoned militants who are persecuted for ideological and political reasons
