We were informed that there has been a prosecutor’s order for forced feeding even with fixation, yet this has been communicated only orally. Doctors will follow this order if the striker falls into a coma. Thanos himself today refuses to have any examination and asks to go back to Nigrita’s prison, also due to the police presence in his room-cell in the hospital.
His doctors and nurses treat him as if he is just a patient and not a person on hunger and thirst strike with specific requests asking him whether he finally wants to be given a serum or not.
He is quite overwhelmed, he cannot fall asleep since the cops are loud, they eat in front of his face and this, as a result, affects his psychological condition.
If anything happens to our comrades, we are aware of who is to be blamed.
Forced feeding is torture.
Direct grant of Thanos Chatzianggelou’s requests.
Take your rotten hands off our comrades.

The greek anarchist prisoner Thanos Chatziaggelou is in danger of force-feeding
There is information that the greek government via a greek prosecutor’s order, wants to force-feed the anarchist prisoner Thanos Chatziaggelou, being on hunger and thirst strike for 6 days now, since the 19th of December for the violent and unreasonable transfer of him from the Korydallos (Athens) prison to the Nigrita’s one (northern greek prison). His main demand is to be transferred again to his original prison. Thanos is being imprisoned since the 8th of February of 2022, while accused of participation (he has taken the responsibility for) in the anarchist urban guerilla organization “Anarchist Action”.
For the moment, the anarchist comrade is hospitalized in the Seress’ hospital since the 25th of December, and he is totally isolated, being guarded by several policemen, who provocatively eat in front of him and make constant noise. This means that the comrade is impossible to sleep and rest, a thing that is very important concerning his health and mental situation. Thanos himself refuses any medical action or examination and asks to be transported back to the prison against any police presence in his room, and doctors have admitted that they will force-feed them if he gets into a coma situation.
Also, doctors and nurses face him as any other ill person in the hospital, and not as a person on a hunger and thirst strike who has certain demands and they ask him if he wants to be drip fed.
Both this type of hospitalization and the force-feed order are violations of basic human rights and if something happens to our comrade, we surely know who is responsible for this situation.
Force-feed is globally recognized as torture and can lead our comrade Thanos to death, doctors should never admit an action like this.
We ask for direct approval of Thanos’ demands.
Hands off our comrades.

Victory to the hunger and thirst strike (since 19/12) of our comrade Th. Chatzianggelou
During the early hours of Monday 19/12 prison snitches/guards inform our comrade Th. Chantzianggelou about his transfer from his cell to the 4th wing of the hellhole called the “penitentiary detention center” of Korydallos.After our comrade’s refusal to cooperate with them, the “well-known” hooded prison guards took over and tied him up and began his transfer to the prisons of Nigrita, after his declaration that from that moment on he would be on hunger and thirst strike until he was informed of the reason of his transfer and his immediate return to his cell in Korydallos prison. For hours our companion was unable to contact anyone, not even his lawyer. In the evening of the same day, he remains at the Sub-Directorate of Transfers in Thessaloniki and is now in the hellholes-prison of Nigrita Serres. On 25/12, comrade Thanos was admitted to the Serres hospital where he is held under the suffocating presence of police in a room-cell, violating every human right.
In the same way, on 22/12, the anarchist Kostas Dimalexis, prisoner of the 5th Wing of Korydallos, was transferred to the Trikala’s, another smaller city in central Greece,prison.

Intransigence is a contract of life and death.
During these times there is only one and unique thought – the gravity of our words. For some people words are just a complex of letters without essence. Scattered words that they are doomed to be sold as cheaply as possible from their very first moment of their existence since they were born in dirty mouths. Like stars that fade away when they fall, without the shine. Just darkness. For other people, on the other hand, words are the imprints of actions. Consistency, responsibility, dedication, loyalty, straight-forward words that work as life commitments. A life that needs to be a sum of rebellious moments and war. A life that if you don’t offer it to what you believe in, you are already dead.
A subject’s greatest confrontation is the one between itself and its consciousness. A perpetual silent dialogue, where human weakness stands before the revolutionary tasks and obligations. If you want be called “human”, you have to learn how to walk with your head held high without looking back. To count your steps, as if your words were nailed deep into the ground. Every step is a commitment. Let’s go forward, only forward. Let’s not take a single step back.
