We, Kostas Gournas and Dimitris Koufontinas, political prisoners of type C prisons of Domokos, are on hunger strike as of today Monday the 2nd of March.
We fight for the abolition of articles 187 and 187A of the Penal Code, for the abolition of the entire legislation comprising of special measures with which authority seeks to criminalize and destroy its political opponents.
We fight for the abolition of special courts- emergency military courts, this extermination factory of people who resist, with their special compositions, special unconstitutional laws, special unscientific and fraudulent use of evidence (e.g. DNA), and special fabrication of evidence.
We fight for the abolition of all special repressive laws against protesters and against popular mobilizations.
We demand the immediate abolition of type C prisons, which acts as a symbol of the state of exemption for political prisoners and of the intimidation of a society that resists.
We demand the immediate release of Savvas Xiros. The authorities, for 13 years now, have been methodically and vengefully exterminate him, resulting in irreparable damages to his health, with the index of his disability reaching 98%.
Because repression is the flip side of austerity, the struggle of the people’s movement against austerity is inseparable from the struggle against repression and particularly against the permanent state of emergency. For this reason we ask for the support of the entire struggling society.
This struggle of the political prisoners, the mobilizations and the hunger strike sends a message of resistance to the greek people: we and only we, assuming the cost of our choices, must take our lives into our own hands, determined and in unity. This is our duty for our dignity, for future generations.
Hope comes only through struggle
