Giannis Michailidis on the struggle for his release

From Athens Indymedia, translated by Act for freedom now!

As I enjoy my freedom again, won through my second hunger and thirst strike, I reflect on the complex historical mosaic that not only shaped my personal choices but also wove the collective struggle against the state-capitalism complex. Far from being solitary acts of assertion, the hunger strikes were instead part of the social antagonism within the complex dynamics taking shape in Greece and the global landscape as the assault of the dominant powers deepens.

Statement from Giannis Michailidis as hunger and thirst strikes end

From Act for Freedom now

Giannis Michailidis – announcement for the end of the hunger and thirst strike.

As I complete a cycle of struggles for my release, I feel the need to express my gratitude to those people who fought hard for it all the time in and out of prisons.

The positive outcome of this battle is due to those who have experienced the consequences of repression, to the wider solidarity stream created, to the prisoners who chose to fight with the same means of hunger or thirst strike at my side. But the decisive contribution to every hunger strike belongs to those who suffered, were exterminated, murdered or maimed fighting with this means of struggle. To these people I owe my freedom.

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.

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)

alfredo cospito

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.
