Below is the text of the intervention:
Giannis Michailidis, has been in Greek prisons since 2013, and has been arrested in the past during clashes in anti-war and anti-state/anti-capitalist demonstrations. From his participation in anarchist student groups in his teenage years to the student struggles of 2006-2007 and December and from the struggles against the memoranda to a series of prisoners’ struggles, the comrade has fought and continues to fight against the state and capitalist dystopia without renouncing his ideas, without repenting for his choices.
Giannis continues to be imprisoned even though he has served the required sentence for his conditional release and the disciplinary sentence as well as the detention sentence (which is not merged) for the disciplinary offence of escape, and since Monday 23 May he has been on hunger strike against his vindictive treatment, demanding his freedom, putting his health and life at risk.
