An international day of solidarity has been called for Sunday, September 21,
in support of the seven prisoners arrested during the demonstrations against
the European Union summit in Thessaloniki three months ago. The seven, who
are facing felony charges and up to 25 years in jail, are still in two
prisons in Greece, as their appeal against their bail has been refused. A
new appeal was made, but it could take up to two months to be answered.
PLANNED SOLIDARITY ACTIONS FOR SEPTEMBER 21 - Up to now, demonstrations,
concerts and meetings have been called for in the
following greek cities:
Thessaloniki, Herakleion, Patras, Athens, Chania, Kavala, Volos, Lamia, Komotini.

Please let us know details if you're planning an action so that it can be
publicized beforehand, or if you prefer, so that it can be reported on
after.
