You can read more about this in posts of this blog http://clandestinenglish.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/chani...days/ (their first public statement featuring their demands and the context of the struggle), http://clandestinenglish.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/chani...rike/ (a summary of events of the first 10 days), and http://clandestinenglish.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/chani... (for the last 5 days, 20-25 Novemeber).
Full information in Greek in http://www.clandestina.org/indexa.html and the http://www.clandestina.org/indexa.html.
You can download and watch a video with hunger-strike footage http://rapidshare.com/files/166769709/ap_pein_met_xania.avi (no subtitled version yet, still worth-watching).
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!
