The Greek State is getting away with murder - free the hunger strikers NOW!

Two Greek political prisoners are in the midst of a hunger strike.
OnMonday, one of them will be on his 67th day.

They have been held inprison for over 8 months for participating in a demonstration at theEuropean Social Forum. It is entirely possible that the Greek state willwatch them die.

It is time for London to stand up.

More info:
May 6, Athens, Greece: Twenty demonstrators are arrested and detained,suspected of participating in riots that erupted during the demonstrationof the European Social Forum on the day. Amongst the detainees areTarasios Zadorozni, Gerasimos Kyriakopoulos and Konstantinos Katsadouras.
January 6: The three are still held, eight months after their detention,without even standing trial. The Greek State is punishing our anarchistcomrades for their ideas and postpones their trial for as long as possible; there is no evidence of their participation in the rioting, apart from some obscure testimonies made by police officers.

Two of them are now on hunger strike: Tarasios Zadorozni is on his 69th day andGerasimos Kyriakopoulos is on day 53...Tarasios Zadorozni, an anarchist migrant from Ukraine, went on hungerstrike on November 29th and his comrade Gerasimos Kyriakopoulos joined him on December 15th. They are now detained in the Athens Nikaea GeneralHospital.

A medical report issued on Jan 24 stated that their condition was severe and they faced death imminently. They both already sufferedfrom orthostatic hypotension; Zadarozni had lost 15 kg, already sufferedfrom muscular atrophy and bradycardia while Kyriakopoulos (who went onhunger strike already missing one kidney and his spleen from a previousinjury) had lost 5 kg, suffered from severe nose bleeds and showed signsof gallbladder dysfunction.
On January 23 the Attorney General of Athens proposed that the hungerstrikers are not be released - he proposed, in other words, that they facetheir death.

The committee of judges that is now responsible to decide on the Attorney General's recommendation has been deliberately postponing itsdecision ever since.January 25:
A letter from the Nikea HospitalWe have spent the past few weeks in the Nikea hospital in conditions of isolation with no phone contact nor any direct access to newspapers.During visits by our lawyers and our relatives we have been subject toconstant harassment. At the same time however we hear the news of the continuing and ever-increasing solidarity actions towards our struggle and how they are also confronted by the Greek State. Having lost whatever"humane" façade it might have had, the atrociousness of the State's trueface is now manifested: They zealously repress all efforts to publiciseour collective struggle. The police's severe beating of V. Grivas, lastSaturday January 13, is a typical example of such. We are truly glad whenwe hear news from all of you: the unmediated contact and the power of yoursolidarity give us the courage and strength to continue.

THE MORE THAT THEY TRY TO SUBJUGATE CONSCIENCES,
THE MORE OUR CONSCIENCES WILL REBEL.
THE PASSION FOR FREEDOM IS STRONGER THAN ANY PRISON.

TARASIOS ZANTOROZNI GERASIMOS KIRIAKOPOULOS 17.01.07
