news report
Monday March 10, 2008 19:36 by euri - Greece
a briefing and a translation of his two recent letters Nikos Kountardas was arrested on 9/1/08 and convicted with 10 days in prison (for "mockery against a policeman"), while he was out on parole, having a warrant against him for 15 months in prison for liftin two banners (against the new sports terror-law and of solidarity to its arrestees) in OAKA olympic stadium. He is also accused -without any evidence- with an explosion against an ETE bank in Ksanthi (a small town in northeastern Greece). He has already spent nearly 18 months in a pre-trial emprisonment accused with beating Christos Polyzogopoulos, a member of PASOK (ex ruling party) and ex-president of the GSEE (sell-out main trade union), since he was "recognised" by Polyzogopoulos in a photo the police had of him as he was arrested during some riots after a soccer match, 9 years before that. Another anarchist accused under that case, Stelios Malindretos is still detained in Dafni mental hospital. Nikos was transfered to Komotini prisons where he abstained from prison food protesting his prosecution. A month later he was moved to Chios juridical prison (Dikastikes Fylakes Xiou, Xios, TK 821 00, Greece), an overpopulated prison in Chios island, where a few months ago, a long-time prisoner in struggle (P. Georgiadis), was beaten by prison guards for distributing political material. Nikos is in a circular hunger strike (one week on, one off) and is determined to go on with a strict hunger strike. |

Jump To Comment: 1Okay, so some fan of Nikos Kountardas characterises the main Greek socialist party PASOK as "the ex ruling party" and the Greek General Confederation of Labour as a "sell-out main trade union".
But you neglect to mention his own political ideology or why he and his apparently psychologically unstable accomplice nearly killed the GSEE president Christos Polyzogopoulos, throw bombs or disrupt sporting events.
Surely breaking the law alone is not enough reason for our support. Maybe we could support them if you provide reason, otherwise graps to, sta archidia mou.
