Simos Seisidis is an anarchist arrested on May
3d by police in Athens. Simos has had a price on his head for a long
time, accused of being a member of the so-called “robbers in black” (oi
listes me ta maura) who were, allegedly, a group to which
imprisoned anarchist Yiannis Dimitrakis also belonged to.
During
his arrest on May 4th, Simos was shot in the leg by police and injured
heavily; he was also beaten badly on the spot. Since that day Simos has
been detained in a room-converted-cell in the KAT hospital in Athens.
His conditions of detentions are horrific – as described by his family,
comrades and groups such as the Network for Social and Political Rights
(which has issued a statement, see here,
in Greek): there is a complete ban on TV, radio and phone
communication for him; the only person allowed to visit him in his room
is his mother; police are constantly guarding his room, abusing him,
photographing him with their mobile phones while he is bathed by the
nursing staff; the list is endless.
On Friday, May 28th it was
announced that his health condition worsened rapidly and that Simos had
an emergency operation and had his leg amputated. He is now in a stable
and relatively good (that is, non-life threatening condition); his
horrific conditions of detention remain.
BROTHER SIMOS YOU ARE NOT
ALONE! THEY GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!!
