Hunger strike officially ended

The remaining comrades from the DAK (Network of imprisoned fighters) have ended their hunger strike, judging that most of their significant demands have been met. Via contrainfo-

“– The legal framework that determines the operation of type C prisons was repealed. (However, article 187 regarding criminal organisations and article 187A regarding terrorist organisations still stand.)

– The aggravating feature relating to acts committed with concealed/altered physical characteristics was abolished for cases of arrests in demonstrations. However, the anti-hoodie law still applies to cases of (armed) robberies. According to the hunger strike termination statement of the participants in DAK, the minimum sentence for robbery with concealed/altered physical characteristics was dropped from 10 to 5 years, leaving the matter to the discretion of the judge.

“– It was determined that an independent expert witness may be present from the early stage of collection of genetic material/samples. However, the prosecutorial provision of forcible taking of DNA samples still stands.

– It was determined that inmates sentenced to life imprisonment who have served 10 years in prison, and their degree of disability exceeds an 80%, may be granted release to serve the remainder of their sentence under house arrest (with an electronic bracelet). So, the convicted 17N member Savvas Xiros may be granted the possibility to be placed under house arrest, as his degree of disability has reached a 98%.”

CCF ends hunger strike,etc.

CCF, judging that their demands will be met concerning the release of their family members, have ended their hunger strike.

Today N. Maziotis also ended his hunger strike. Below is an excerpt of his latest text…

“. . .I will not speak in terms of victory or defeat. The struggle of the political prisoners, regardless of its outcome, has a large value and importance. It is the first hunger strike of the political prisoners, and as I have said it goes far beyond the judicial-request framework. It is the first political mobilization that has opposed the syriza government. This struggle has dispelled the illusions regarding the left face of power, the left crutch of capitalism, the left management of the crisis. This is the great political legacy we leave to history and in this perspective we are surely victorious.”
