Greece: Anarchist Prisoner D. Chatzivasiliadis in Solitary Confinement Because He Remained Consistent with His Registered Refusals

Today 19/3, Dimitris Hatzivasiliadis was transferred to the prison of Diavata, to the manor of chief torturer Valsamis, for the appeal court for the expropriation of the bank in Thessaloniki (2021).

The comrade, as always in the dozens of transfers for courts that have been made in the two and a half years of his captivity, refused to be stripped naked. This is a refusal won by political prisoners long ago and has been consolidated over the last 15 years. Before the investigation the comrade asked to have access to a payphone like every other prisoner, and a minimum of time in the yard, as provided by the penal code.


In his previous passage through Diavata for the expropriation trial, he had been excluded from these elementary activities.

The bodyguards’ response was to lock the political prisoner in a disciplinary isolation cell.

We won’t give them back anything that has been hard-won.
