Thodoris Iliopoulos IS FREE!!! @@ - 29.08.2009 14:25
After the worldwide solidarity day, at last, Th Iliopoulos is Free. This is a copy from occupiedlondon blog, first the briefing for international solidarity day and the report for Thodoris release. #77 | Moscow, Hamburg, Vilnus, London, San Francisco, Belgrade and dozens of Greek cities say: Set Thodoros Iliopoulos free, NOW! Monday, August 24 was the international day of solidarity with Thodoros Iliopoulos. With the fires raging across Greece, Thodoros had been seemingly unlucky in that those holding his life upon their hands, the very same people – and the State – that had imprisoned him, seemed as if they would get away with the slow death they are now imposing upon him: They are trying to leave Thodoros breathless. And yet on Monday, the 24th of August, we all became Thodoros’ breath: A banner in Moscow. A picket outside the greek embassy in Vilnus, Lithuania. A photocopied interview in San Francisco, a cry out on the streets of London, a gathering in Hamburg, a molotov cocktail lighting up the summer night in Belgrade. A crystal-clear message: Mess with Thodoris and you mess with all of us. December’s revolt does not fit in their prisons, it cannot ever fall victim to state repression. Today, 27 August, dawns day 48 of Thodoros’ hunger strike. Danger for his very life is now imminent… #78 | Thodoros Iliopoulos is free! On the eve of Thursday, 27.8, Thodoros Iliopoulos was ordered free by the Council of Misdemeanors. His detention has been replaced by restrictive orders including a ban on exiting the country and the obligation to appear to a local police station twice a month. Yesterday’s demonstration in Athens, demanding his release, took place as planned, with a celebratory tone. Thodoros is free; a great victory for him and his solidarity movement. Now we need to keep up this struggle, to demand that all his charges are dropped. Until all are free! http://www.occupiedlondon.org/blog/ Website: http://www.occupiedlondon.org/blog/ |
