Below are the participants in the hunger strike (to our knowledge, from men’s prisons) in numbers, according to latest updates:
Koridallos (Athens): circa 1,480 prisoners
Patras: circa 550 prisoners
Grevena: 400 prisoners
Domokos: 350 prisoners; also, the rest of the inmates abstain from prison meals to support the struggle.
Larissa: 330 prisoners
Nigrita (Serres): 280 prisoners
Chania (Crete): 280 prisoners
Amfissa: 200 prisoners
Corfu: 120 prisoners
Avlonas: 120 juvenile prisoners
Trikala: 120 prisoners
Malandrino: 120 prisoners
Nafplion: 50 prisoners
The total number amounts to 4,400 prisoners in struggle. This is the most massive hunger strike that has ever taken place in Greek prisons.
Meanwhile, in Alikarnassos prison near Heraklion, Crete, all of the prisoners abstain from prison meals (as far as destitute inmates are concerned, this is almost the same as conducting hunger strike).
As of June 25th, 2014, CCF member Olga Ekonomidou has also joined the hunger strike from the women’s prison.
