Not a day has passed since the publication of the text about the kind of care the “penitentiary” system provides and gives the external guard of Domokos prison the right to blackmail prisoners. Today, the external guard of Domokos prison along with its commander in charge refused to transfer me to the hospital of Lamia for an orthopedic examination concerning a 3rd degree rupture of the gastrocnemius muscle because I would not accept their undignified and degrading modality of body search. I did not refuse a body search in general, I refused the humiliating way in which they want to carry it out. They are essentially blackmailing me in order to get the care I am entitled to, putting my health at risk.

In response to the blatant violation of my rights, I am going on hunger strike as of today (14/5/2024) with a request to be transferred to the hospital of Lamia without suffering the humiliating form of investigation demanded by the external guard of Domokos prison.

This request concerns not only this case but any case of treatment requiring transfer to a hospital for examination, surgery or treatment while I am in prison.
