The trial of the killers of Alexandros Grigoropoulos to resume and conclude in September; prosecutor recommends life-sentence for Korkoneas

#347 |

On Friday, August 6th, the public prosecutor described his verdict for the case of Epaminondas Korkoneas and Vasilis Saraliotis, the two cops who killed 15-year old Alexandros Grigoropoulos on the night of December 6th, 2008 in Athens. Τhe prosecutor rejected all “mitigating factors” brought forward by the side of the two accused cops. If his recommendation is upheld by the court’s judges, Korkoneas should receive a life sentence.
The trial will recommence on September 2nd. Following the trial procedures in Greece, it is now the turn of the two lawyers (those representing the cops and Alexandros’ family) to make their final speeches before the final verdict is announced -  which we expect to happen in the first week of September.

Anarchists solidarity protest outside Korydallos prison, the main prison in Athens, at the time of the change of the year. This protest happens every New Year's Eve for the past six years. This year more than 400 people took part in the protest that interacted with the prisoners inside through shouting mutual slogans and fireworks. The main slogan was "The passion for freedom is stronger that your prisons".

FIRE TO ALL PRISONS

A society that punishes/the condition of incarceration/the prison of the mind/the prison as punishment/the rage of the damned will sound on the ruins of prisons/those denying obedience and misery of our era even within its hellholes/will dance together on the ruins of every last prison/with the flame of rebellion avenging whatever creates prisons.

To the prisoners struggle already counting one dead and thousands in hunger strike across greece, we stand in solidarity and anger until the destruction of every last prison.
