Hunger striker Suzon Doppagne is being monitored daily by a team of solidarian doctors. During the physical examination, she presents with orthostatic hypotension and tachycardia upon standing, and since the first days of her hunger strike, she has been experiencing daily recurring hypoglycemic episodes.
She has lost a total of 10,2% of her initial body weight.
It is clear that the hunger striker Suzon Doppagne, now on the 13th day of her hunger strike, is at risk of serious complications.
The hunger striker S. Doppagne declares that she does not intend to stop her hunger strike until her demands are met.
Her demands reflect the collective demands of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika, Alexandras Av. and are the following:
IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION OF THE CONTRACT BY THE REGION OF ATTICA.
ALL RESIDENTS OF PROSFYGIKA TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES, IN THE PLACE AND AREA WHERE THEY LIVE AND HAVE ESTABLISHED SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND ORGANICAL TIES.
CONCRETE GUARANTEES TO BE GIVEN FOR THE RESTORATION OF PROSFYGIKA BY THE NON-PROFIT CIVIL LAW COMPANY KNOWN AS “RESIDENTS AND FRIENDS OF PROSFYGIKA ALEXANDRAS AV.” USING ITS OWN FUNDING! – NOT A SINGLE EURO OF PUBLIC MONEY FOR THE “RESTORATION” OF PROSFYGIKA!
We call on all relevant authorities, especially the Regional Administration of Attica, to immediately meet the demands of the hunger strike, given the progressively worsening health condition of the hunger striker.

PRESS RELEASE 13/05/2026 FROM THE MEDICAL TEAM MONITORING THE HEALTH OF HUNGER STRIKER ARISTOTELIS CHANTZIS, who has been on hunger strike since February 5, 2026
Hunger striker Aristotelis Chantzis, who is on his 98th day of hunger strike, presents with low serum urea levels, hyperuricemia, and symptomatic hypoglycemia on blood tests, findings consistent with starvation. At the same time, new-onset transaminasemia indicative of liver dysfunction was observed in the context of prolonged starvation.
Clinically, both established paresthesias (numbness) in the lower extremities and diminished tendon reflexes are observed due to malnutrition and muscle atrophy, while on 04/03/2026 he already had a fainting episode.
Since the first weeks of the hunger strike, he has been experiencing progressively worsening episodes of orthostatic hypotension, dizziness with fatigue and tachycardia upon standing. Those episodes have worsened and are now significantly affecting his ability to function, in addition with sleep disorders that have been established. At the same time, persistent electrocardiographic abnormalities predisposing to fatal arrhythmias are observed daily.
He now experiences hypoglycemic episodes on a daily basis, while on Wednesday, April 15, medical intervention was required to treat a severe hypoglycemic episode.
He is already on his 98th day of hunger strike and is emaciated, weighing 45.3 Kg and having lost a total of 30.3 % of his initial body weight. Given the duration of the hunger strike, we warn of the risk of imminent irreversible damage to vital organs.
With every passing 24 hours, the hunger striker faces an ever-increasing cardiovascular and metabolic risk, with dangerous, life-threatening complications.
His demands reflect the collective demands of the Community:
IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION OF THE CONTRACT BY THE REGION OF ATTICA.
ALL RESIDENTS OF PROSFYGIKA TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES, IN THE PLACE AND AREA WHERE THEY LIVE AND HAVE ESTABLISHED SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND ORGANICAL TIES.
CONCRETE GUARANTEES TO BE GIVEN FOR THE RESTORATION OF PROSFYGIKA BY THE NON-PROFIT COVIL LAW COMPANY KNOWN AS “RESIDENTS AND FRIENDS OF PROSFYGIKA ALEXANDRAS AV.” USING ITS OWN FUNDING! – NOT A SINGLE EURO OF PUBLIC MONEY FOR THE “RESTORATION” OF PROSFYGIKA!
The hunger has declared that he does not intend to end his hunger strike despite the health risks, until his demands are met.
After 98 days of a hunger strike and given the progressively worsening condition of his health, everyone involved is to be held accountable for the imminent complications or even a fatal outcome, especially the Regional Administration of Attica. The cover-up of the hunger strike by the majority of the media, as well as the criminal silence of the government, parliamentary political forces, and the relevant authorities, are all complicit in driving the hunger striker to his death.
The City Council’s proposal and decision on April 20 to investigate the legality of safeguarding the interests of the Municipality of Athens and to hold consultations with residents until the completion of this process, condemns the hunger striker to death through vague and time-consuming procedures. At the same time, Nikos Chardalias statements about “plenty of time” for and for finding a solution deliberately ignore the fact that a person is already in an advanced stage of a hunger strike, which also constitutes a death sentence.
Amnesty International Greece stated in an announcement on 27 April 2026 that it holds the Region of Attica responsible for violating the fundamental and constitutionally protected human rights of the more than 400 residents living in Prosfygika on Alexandras Avenue. It urgently calls, in light of the critical health condition of resident and Community member Aristotelis Chantzis, for the immediate suspension of the Region of Attica’s plans, as expressed through Decision No. 864/16-6-2025. Amnesty International confirms that the continuation and implementation of this illegal plan by the Region of Attica clearly entails unlawful forced evictions of Community residents, which, as the announcement states, constitute a blatant violation of the right to adequate housing, among other affected human rights.
