Nikos Kountardas' letter from Hospital, where he is during his 13th day of hunger-strike. Since yesterday he started again thirst-strike.

I write a few things on a  napkin. In secret. They have prohibited me everything. I am in situation of complete isolation. I don't know what happens outside. Real terrorism from the deep state. However, I consider I did not say the last word. I hope this will reach outside and will become known, propagated. Whatever happens. Hear the deposit of soul that I made before one week in Radio Revolt. The situation and the conditions here remind other dark ages. They are all furious with me. I do not know if I am considered political prisoner of their democracy, one sure thing is that if someday the sovereignty falls I will perhaps be recognized as a former fell or former prisoner of their “democracy”. Something like the actual frequently advertised and honored, and recognizable from all co-released - exiled of the dictatorship. Until then... deafening silence. Silence like omerta' that should not “break”. Doesn't matter, someday they'll understand, maybe the people will wake up.

Here, in Government Hospital now, I am here since Friday where I was transported in almost faded out condition, with pressure 7-5, glucose 45 and lighter by 6 kilos. I'll describe what's going on. The doctors tried they put me IV water, however I did not accept. Generally in any case I admit that despite the pressure by the state they have kept decent attitude. However, the evening, dawns of Saturday, as long as i I did not have my senses a strange woman entered escorted by cops and made injections of  water with glucose and vitamins. This is a incident that I want to make public and denounce, while there is also a testimony of the only other detained here.

I want to say that we can all imagine what happened then with Savvas Ksyros in Evangelismos Hospital. And as I have mentioned on Friday, I want to thank the friends and comrades that upset the region of the hospital. Touching and pleasant for me, unpleasant for the enemy. Also I thank all the people that the next morning came here. It was a movement that lived up my soul. I heard and was glad for the great demonstration in many anarchists' resort city of  Xanthi. The same for the attack against the riot police in Trikoupi St. and in Thessaloniki. I THANK friends and comrades from each corner of Greek space for the multiform solidarity.

Now some different thanks.

  * I “thank” the "people in charge" from me ministry of justice that are gathered outside by the room that I am guarded in order to resolve my problem.
  * I “thank” the public prosecutor and police authorities that in 10 minutes they me wrapped in a glue paper, while the responsible council of judges of Komotini for my release needs more than 10 days.
  * I “thank” the human guards for the polite attitude at my transfer-kidnap from the prisons of Komotini jail, worthy and exemplary for a prisoner in hunger and thirst strike.
  * I “thank” my retained in the prison of Komotini that as solidarity abstained from the food, burned the jail when he learned about tortures and continues supporting me to my suspicious fight.
  * I “thank” here in the government hospital the guards that let me make phone calls, that “respect” the personal data and “respect” the rights of a prisoner.
  * I “thank” the parastate that have "not" threatened my parents...
  * Finally I “thank” in advance all the scamps that will defame and blackmail this second and difficult effort to find my right.

Today, Wednesday 27/5/09 noon I begun the 2nd and last strike of hunger and thirst. I will fight for my right with all means. If there's no solution WAR WAR WAR!

Closing two favors. I had promised something to Alexis, during his funeral in P.Faliro, perhaps I will not have the time. Comrades propagate now that is period of pan-Hellenic exams in schools these things: 6/12/08-6/6/09. No students and schoolmates this year candidates for the police. WE DO NOT FORGET - WE DO NOT FORGIVE

And closing, protect Xanthi as if protecting your eyes

I'm not from this world

LONG LIVE ABSOLUTE FREEDOM

Real Love, Νίκος Κουνταρδάς
