*Background: Beaten Up, Fitted Up, Don’t Let Them Get Banged Up*<br>
<br>
Over a hundred people were arrested after a demonstration
confronting the European<br>
Union summit, held in Thessaloniki in Greece back in 2003. Seven
people were<br>
imprisoned and held on remand, including UK protester Simon
Chapman. The prisoners<br>
began a hunger strike that lasted more than 50 days.<br>
<br>
A massive worldwide solidarity campaign followed including
demonstrations, direct<br>
action and occupations leading to all seven being released on
bail. All the charges<br>
were eventually dropped.<br>
<br>
Years later after appeals from the Prosecutor the charges were
reinstated. The first<br>
case finally came before the Courts in January 2008 where Simon
Chapman and three of<br>
the other defendants – Suleiman “Kastro” Dakdouk (Syrian origin),
Fernando Perez<br>
Gorraiz (Spain) and Michaelis Triakapis (Greece) – were found
guilty.<br>
<br>
All of those accused maintain their innocence and video and
photographic evidence<br>
clearly shows police planting a rucksack filled with petrol bombs
next to Simon see<br>

<br>
This didn’t stop him receiving a prison sentences of more than
eight years, with the<br>
other defendants all receiving over five years.<br>
<br>
They will now face the Appeal Court again in January 2011, when
they have the<br>
opportunity to appeal against their convictions. This means we
have less than two<br>
months to build a campaign, raise vital funds and show true global
solidarity to the<br>
defendants.<br>
