Giannis Michailidis on the struggle for his release

From Athens Indymedia, translated by Act for freedom now!

As I enjoy my freedom again, won through my second hunger and thirst strike, I reflect on the complex historical mosaic that not only shaped my personal choices but also wove the collective struggle against the state-capitalism complex. Far from being solitary acts of assertion, the hunger strikes were instead part of the social antagonism within the complex dynamics taking shape in Greece and the global landscape as the assault of the dominant powers deepens.

Statement from Giannis Michailidis as hunger and thirst strikes end

From Act for Freedom now

Giannis Michailidis – announcement for the end of the hunger and thirst strike.

As I complete a cycle of struggles for my release, I feel the need to express my gratitude to those people who fought hard for it all the time in and out of prisons.

The positive outcome of this battle is due to those who have experienced the consequences of repression, to the wider solidarity stream created, to the prisoners who chose to fight with the same means of hunger or thirst strike at my side. But the decisive contribution to every hunger strike belongs to those who suffered, were exterminated, murdered or maimed fighting with this means of struggle. To these people I owe my freedom.

Giannis Michailidis released on parole

From de.indymedia.org (english translation)

The comrade Giannis after an intense struggle where he put his body at a risk of 33 days of hunger strike and 4 days of thirst strike, managed to win what he was entitled to and had been demanding since last year: his conditional release on parole. Something that he had been forced to claim again with a 67-day hunger strike a year before, which he suspended after the verbal promises of the officials that his demand would be satisfied. Something that never happened and as a result, a year later, our comrade continued his struggle.
