#590 | Update on the health of Yiannis K., the demonstrator seriously injured by police at the General Strike demonstration of May 11th in Athens

Greek original

Yiannis is being hospitalised for a fourth consecutive day in the intensive care unit of the General State Hospital of Nikaia, in Athens. His condition remains stable and under control. Up to this point, unwanted medical complications have been avoided, yet he remains intubated and with mechanical ventilation.

The coroner who examined him reported two serious blows from a blunt object in the head, which caused the subdural haematoma. Yet apart from that, the coroner also reported many blows in the back caused by a police baton.

    May he survive and live to march with anarchists once again. May he survive and help smash the capitalistic stranglehold on Greece.

    As we learned tonight, Dominique Strauss-Kahn was caught raping a maid, much like he has helped rape Greece. May the people of Greece rise up and smash the State that oppresses them with the help of a rapist in Washington.

    The people who suppress Greece are rapists, all of them. Smash them and let their blood run in the streets as a lesson to those who seek to exploit the masses.

    @ JR:
    That reminds me of a german rallying cry: “Der größte Zuhälter ist der Staat – Kampf dem Patriarchat!”

    “The biggest pimp is the state – fight the patriarchy!
