Informatie van een Engelse steungroep van de Thessaloniki gevangenen.
Update from Thessaloniki - Wednesday 5th November
- For the last week, all 5 hunger strikers have been
requesting admittance to hospital. This is for the
reason that if they go to hospital but still refuse
food, glucose, vitamins etc, the hospital should
refuse to take legal responsibility for them which is
very serious. The prison should then also refuse to
take legal responsibility for them and they should be
released. However the police have refused to allow
them to be admitted to hospital, and apparently they
have authority in this matter, rather than the prison.
- On Monday night - 3rd November, Carlos Martinez -
one of the 2 Spanish hunger strikers - was taken to a
hospital 8km outside Thessaloniki, by an entourage of
about 50 police, some wearing balaclavas. On arrival
at the hospital he was not given a bed, but put in a
chair with his hands tied behind his back, where he
was beaten by the police. Throughout the night, while
he tried to sleep, Carlos was continually beaten and
kicked by police. His body and legs are covered in
marks and bruises.
- Early on Tuesday morning Carlos was moved to another
hospital. Nobody was informed of his whereabouts. In
the hospital he was not given a translator. Doctors
tried to take blood from him, but thinking they were
trying to forcibly inject glucose, he refused. The
doctors said that he he refused to accept tests, they
could do nothing for him.
- At 11.30 on Tuesday morning, the support group in
Thessaloniki found out where Carlos was, and a
demonstration was held outside the hospital. Carlos'
lawyer tried to get access to him, and after several
hours was allowed to speak to him, and received the
above information.
- Carlos was returned to prison at 2pm on Tuesday,
where he has since been seen by his doctor from the
independent medical team.
- All of the prisoners are in critical health and very
weak. Sulieman Dakduk, the Syrian, is unable to move
from his bed. Simon Chapman is unable to sleep.
Fernando Perez is passing blood.
- Demonstrations will take place in Thessaloniki on
Friday and in Athens on Saturday.
- There will be a solidarity demo in London on
Saturday from 11-1pm outside the Greek Tourist office
& Olympic airlines in Conduit St, London W1. Please
plan solidarity actions wherevr you live.
