Nikos Romanos: Struggle until death

Recalled that shortly after 11:30 am, the Council of Misdemeanors of Piraeus dismissed the request of Nikos Romanos for authorization for attending of his school lessons.

Nikos Romanos is still hospitalized, guarded, in the hospital "George Gennimatas", since he is on a hunger strike in protest because he is not allowed to attend his studies at the Faculty of Business Administration (in the direction of Public Health), at the TEI of Athens.

The letter in detail:

"Dancing with death for 24 days

I try to capture on paper the last remains of coherent thought in the wake of recent developments and the re rejection of a leave request for education purpose.
From the first days of the strike, I said in my speech in the solidarity meeting that had been taken place in the Polytechnic, that the rejection of Nikopoulos (who so long declared himself as incompetent), is the beginning of the State's strategy, aiming on my death. This political assessment was absolutely confirmed. Initially with the mandate of the prosecutor of the prison Korydallos, Evangelia Marsioni, for my forced feeding, an act constituting actual rape and led to death of Xolgker Mains in Germany and of the members of GRAPO in Spain. The doctors of the hospital have thrown the court order in the trash and refused to commit such a state's crime.

Then, my appeal in a judicial council from outside prison, (a legal move that choose many prisoners, when the council of the prison rejects their applications), was rejected on the grounds that the decision of Nikopoulos commits them, which is the identical decision, in which I had made the appeal.
For those who have a basic perception of the political intervention of the Ministry of Justice, the day before the council's meeting there was a clear mandate for the rejection of the request and I will explain why.

The notice issued by the Ministry of Justice says that Athanasiou is not responsible, and then it says the following: "The educational leaves are granted exclusively by the appropriate board (of prison), which is headed by the public prosecutor, while for the detainees, is also required the consistent opinion of the judicial body that ordered the detention."

In short, the validity of the appeal is canceled by the minister, simply and clearly. All this disguised with the existent proposal for lessons by video conference instead of leave, which is not correct because the presence in the laboratories is obligatory, and opens the way to the prison councils to abolish the leave completely, since the solution of video conference will apply to all prisoners.

By the same logic, at some time, the visits with our families will take place through screens for security reasons, as our courts. The technology is at the service of "correction" and justice. Human progress or fascist method ... history will judge.

At this point it is worth to mention the role of the special appellate magistrate, E. Nikopoulos, who from the first moment that I started the hunger strike has taken clear political mandates of his political superiors in the Ministry of Justice; that is why everyone are putting responsibility in him. An exchange for his cooperation will be his promotion to the Supreme Court, as happened with his predecessor, Dimitris Mochas, who was the head to dozens of anti-anarchist, repressive campaigns. Now he is enjoying the big salary of the judicial elite of the Supreme Court. Is it random? I do not think so.

I, for my part, continue, I pass any chance to step back and I respond with STRUGGLE TO VICTORY OR STRUGGLE TO DEATH.

In any case, if the State murders me with his attitude, Mr. Athanasiou and his friends will remain in history as a gang of murderers, as instigators in the torture and murder of a political prisoner. Let's just hope to find those free spirits who will judge the law of righteousness in their own way.

In closing I want to send my complicity and my friendship to those who are standing next to me by all means.

Finally, a few words about my brothers; John, who is also hospitalized, Andreas, Dimitris and of several more.

The struggle has also losses, since in the paths for a decent life we must take death by the hand, risking losing everything in order to gain everything. The fight continues with the Fist against the knife, again and again.

ALL FOR ALL!

FOR AS WE LIVE AND BREATH, LONG LIVE ANARCHY!
DECEMBER 6 APPOINTMENT IN THE STREETS OF RAGE
MY THOUGHT WILL WANDER TO THE KNOWN STREETS
BECAUSE IT IS WORTH LIVING FOR A DREAM, EVEN IF THE FIRE BURNS YOU
AND AS WE SAY, POWER.
NB: Obviously I cannot control the social automation. However, the members of Syriza and the traders of hope which have come, saw the exit sign WITHOUT DIALOGUE, while I say again that I have officially signed my refusal for any serum administration.
