Damn – this guy was ARRESTED and is in JAIL now for nothing!?!?!
WTF!!!! I am extremely upset to hear about this.
And also on that note – let me tell you all some shit, which is somewhat minor compared to the plight of our Greek bother, but …… a friend of mine had her yahoo email account disabled 2 weeks ago for her political views. The emailsthat I was sending her kept coming back undelivered, and after she got it straight – this is what she told me:
Oh and in case you're wondering about why my email account went awry... well, it mysteriously was deactivated. When I tried to find out why, I was told that some form of 'abuse' had caused the deactivation. That sparked my interest because although I am a political activist of sorts, I am not the kind of person to ever advocate violence, so everything I have said falls into the realm of free speech that does not harm. I decided (being naive) that someone must have hacked into my account and committed some form of abuse. After two weeks of trying to get an answer out of Yahoo, I finally talked to someone on the phone who said that my account de-activation was likely due to my political views. I called back later and asked for that explanation in writing (good to have proof) and they told me they would send me notification of what happened within 24 hours. Then my account was reactivated and the note said that it was a "technical glitch." Technical glitch is a far cry from the problem being soured in my political views!!!
*** End of what my friend said
This is not something to be taken lightly. WE ARE In FACT being monitored online – no lie. I imagine it will only be a matter of time before many of us (including myself) have knocks on our doors for being subversive against the government of the United States.
But still – this thing with this Greek guy makes me damn mad. Please give us more details about this guy and his situation. There MUST be SOMETHING we can collectively do to fight for his rights. I am specifically asking my British brothers to give us some insight as to what the deal is and what we can do to help!!! Por Favor – Please.

I will personally try to rally support here in Chicago – if you can give some direction along those lines.
