Call for actions in solidarity with G. Michailidis

From Act for Freedom Now!

The anarchist comrade and prisoner of the Greek prisons, Giannis Michailidis, is on a new hunger strike since 12.05.2023. Exactly one year ago, on May 25, 2022, he had announced the start of another hunger strike demanding his release, which after 68 days of hard strike, last July, he decided to end, with his health condition reaching a critical point, awaiting the fulfilment of the commitments of senior judges for meeting his demands.

Hunger strike from 12/5 of the anarchist Giannis Mixailidis

From Athens Indymedia

Recognising that there are social issues more important than my release, I begin a second attempt to publicise the dirty war I have faced from governmental and judicial mechanisms. I will avoid referring to what happened around this time last year, to avoid tiring repetitions. I will continue from the pause in my hunger strike last July.

Alfredo Cospito suspends hunger strike (press release statement)

From Lutter contre le 41 bis (machine translation)

After almost 6 months of hunger strike, Alfredo Cospito announces that he is ending his hunger strike. His decision follows yesterday's decision by the Constitutional Court to agree to recognize mitigating circumstances for the attack at the carabinieri school of which he is accused and for which he risked life imprisonment. The end of life imprisonment, not only for him but for all prisioners was one of the two demands that motivated his hunger strike. Alfredo yesterday regained hope not to be sentenced to die in prison and to one day regain freedom. His prolonged fasting will not be without consequences on his long-term health and we already know that he has lost the sensitivity of one of his feet.

Hunger Strike, Day 1

From Mongoose Distro by Dan Baker, March 21, 2023

Dear Mongoose and Comrades,

Today I started my hunger strike. Yesterday I was attacked by a white Christian Nationalist trump supporter, who was put in my SHU cell in spite of my protests. Despite my injuries I am full of determination, bloodied but unbroken. But, this is a small amount of suffering compared to friends like Gultan Kisanak, a Kurdish woman and political prisoner. I drew her portrait and wrote some of her quotes. Every day of my hunger strike I will draw a Kurdish woman who is a political prisoner and send her inspiring words to different friends. I ask that you all post them all online for me to raise awareness.

The attack targeted several cigarette vending machines in Sardinia : after entering the computer system, the hackers managed to make the message “Fuori Alfredo dal 41 bis” appear on the screens. And, further down, “Close the 41 bis free all free all”.
