Emergency update on the hunger strike, from 8/7/24 Thanasis Pikasis
Today 11/9, and while the fighter prisoner Thanasis Pikasis is going through the 61st day of hunger strike, he developed chills, fever temperature and severe body pains. In repeated attempts to call for a doctor by both himself and another prisoner who heard the shouts no one responded immediately. He tried to get up and fell down unable to get up again. Then came a guard-torturer who kicked him and stomped his head on the floor saying “I don’t understand hunger strikes”.
From the service, he was given 3 reports about this incident, as a result of which the warden visited him, saying that the cameras would be checked. When the nurse came and because of the shivering and the very intense pains especially in the bones of the legs, she gave him 2-3 dextrose injections, a sedative and painkiller injection so that he could recover and calm down.

Text by hunger striker Thanasis Pikassis
Today having reached 55 days of hunger strike, and lost 55.8 kilos, I declare from the prisons of Agios Stefanos Patras, that the rightness of my struggle is clearer than ever, I will continue this struggle against the degradation of my rights as a prisoner to the end and now being at a limit point, the only thing that will stop me is either death or justice.
There are moments where if you turn the other cheek to a blow, you are not the only one who gets hit, but you give space to arbitrariness, fascism in the legalisation of prisons becoming the property of corrupt guards, politicians and managers.
The right to education is sacred. Not one step back. To the end.
Thanasis Picassis on hunger strike from 8/7
Greetings to those in solidarity outside the walls and the supporters prisoners who keep me strong!
