No offence intended

I'm sorry that you feel I am not including the 'other prisoners', but that is not my intention in anyway. It's a demo in London, called by friends of Simon who are campaigning for the release of ALL the prisoners, not just Simon.
All I can do is apologise for offending you, but I think you have the wrong impression.

Refusing Water

The prisoners are not allowed phone calls, have stopped taking water, and may be moved to a prison hospital in Athens.

The ultimate struggle...

11.11.2003 04:34

Five of the Saloniki 7 have gone on hunger strike, an ultimate struggle for their freedom. Kastro started on 21/9;
Simon, Fernardo and Carlos joined him on 5/10 and Spiros Tsitsas on 7/10. They all demand their immediate release and dropping of all charges against them. Additionaly, Kastro demands his non-deportation to Syria and that he will be granted a residency permit.

THEY ARE NOT ALONE

Water strike demands met?

I have just read on the newswire that the water strikers' demands have been met, but haven't seen anything else about this.

True? Anybody know?

the demo is good but...

is not enuff.What we need here is to do something more dinamic than gathering 20-30 people outside of a building and shouting.We will never be heard like this.We need more people and more people means more power.So if we are a lot we could an occupation just for 1-2 hours in a Radio station.With this way i think we could be heard and noticed better.
This is my opinion

FREEDOM TO SALONIKA 7
THEY ARE NOT ALONE
THEY ARE INSIDE FOR US WE ARE OUTSIDE FOR THEM
