International public statements of
support and solidarity, personal, collective or institutional, are very
much and urgently needed. Please, forward them to the Initiative for Solidarity at mailto:protoboulia.metanastes.chania@gmail.com (this is the collective established for organizing and promoting the struggle).
THE HUNGER - STRIKERS’ DEMANDS ARE FAIR!
THEIR STRUGGLE IS A JUST CAUSE FOR ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE FORTRESS EUROPE!
SOLIDARITY WITH THE CHANIA HUNGER STRIKERS!
