DESCRIPTION:SOLIDARITY INITIATIVE FOR GREEK POLITICAL PRISONER THODORIS 
 ILIOPOULOS.\n\nCALL-OUT FOR INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR THE IMMEDIATE 
 RELEASE OF THODORIS ILIOPOULOS, ON HUNGER STRIKE SINCE JULY 10.\n\nOn 
 December 6th 2008 an Athens policeman, in cold blood, shot dead a 15 year 
 old child, Alexis Grigoropoulos. Almost immediately, spontaneous protests 
 and riots spread across Greece. \n\nThodoros Iliopoulos is an anarchist and 
 the last prisoner of December’s revolt still in pre-trial detention. He 
 has been in prison since December 18th and is one of two prisoners of the 
 revolt to be denied bail – still.  On July 9 the court of appeals made 
 explicit, in rejecting Iliopoulos’ application, that it did so on the 
 grounds that Iliopoulos is an anarchist and therefore a “danger for 
 democracy”. The following day, Thodoris went on hunger strike.\n\nMonday, 
 August 24th will be his 45th day on hunger strike. He has lost more than 
 20% of his original body weight. His requests to be transfered from prison 
 to a hospital have been ignored. His life is in danger.\n\nHe is not a 
 flight risk. He is not a terrorist. There is evidence of judicial 
 misconduct in his arraignment process. His father has Alzheimer's disease, 
 and he has an 83 year old mother whom he cares for. In his interviews, he 
 speaks about getting married and raising a family when he is released. 
 \n\nIn the struggle for his defense and his release, our support is 
 Thodoris’ breath.\n\nLet’s get his voice heard across the 
 world!\n\n---\n\nHere in San Francisco we will be picketing in front of the 
 Greek Consul during their business hours. We will hand out interviews with 
 Thodoris and information about his situation. Please come out and show your 
 support!\n\nCall the Greek consul in SF and let them know that you are 
 concerned about this man's human rights:\n(415) 775-2102\n\nOnline
