“It’s a struggle of resistance to not be buried alive! It is a struggle for hope, for freedom, for life itself.”
Prisoners of Korydallos Prison

Since 28/10/22 the prisoners of the Greek hellholes have been sending their own message of resistance against the new toughened penal code by carrying out a Circle of escalating mobilizations.

Their demands include the return of prisons to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, the abolition of C-type prisons, the right to 1/5 off the sentence for all (from 5/6) and 8 years for multi-lifers, the right to request a transfer to a rural detention centre for all without exception, to bring back the amendments to the article on educational leave, temporary leave to be made independently of the prisoner’s disciplinary record, and the immediate granting of leave to people with 67% or more disability, such as Savvas Xiros, who is being held vindictively and sadistically incarcerated, with a disability of 98%. This mobilization is essential resistance of the prisoners with the few means they have.

The political prisoners have been actively involved in the struggle from the very first moment and for this reason they have been targeted by the prison authorities and the human guards. Typical examples of targeting have been the punitive transfers, such as those of the anarchists K. Dimalexis and Th. Chatziaggelou with the latter going on a hunger and thirst strike lasting several days, which caused other political prisoners to go on hunger strikes in solidarity and extended the hours that prisoners in various prisons in the country kept their cells open.
