On Nov. 10, 2014, anarchist prisoner Nikos Romanos began a hunger strike laying claim to educational passes from prison, in order to be able to take classes in the university that he has succeeded to enroll.

His application to the Prison Council – that is formed by attorney general Nikolaos Poimenidis, headmistress Charalambia Koutsomichali as well as the social worker – still remain unanswered, while the appealing interrogator Eftichis Nikolopoulos, who has been claiming up to today not to be tasked with this matter, has sent a document to the Council, reporting that the application for administration of educational passes from prison has been denied.

Iraklis Kwstaris that has begun a hunger strike on the 29th of October for being given his educational passes from prison to take classes at his university TEI of Piraeus, is receiving the same denying documents from the Council.

IWW Greece utterly support the striving of the hunger strikers and denounce the infringement of their legal rights. We denounce our solidarity and we ask the principals to give all educational passes from prison to Nikos Romanos and Iraklis Kwstaris immediately.

We call the Prison Council responsible for every day of hunger strike and for whatever happens from now on.
