anarchists occupy syriza hq in protest against c-type prisons

[Sasha]

About 50 anarchists have occupied the headquarters of the ruling party in Greece to support the hunger strike in the Greek prisons against conditions in the country's Type C maximum-security jails.
In June 2014 over 3000 prisoners went on hunger strike demanding
1) No Type C prisons- these new high security prisons have been dubbed the 'Greek Guantanamo'
2) Furloughs and parole to be a right of all prisoners
3) Retrial of those imprisoned with life sentences for drug offences due to a change in the law
4) Right to conjugal visits
5) Release of migrants facing deportation
Prisoners held in Type C conditions are essentially in isolation as their contact with the outside world will be restricted. The legislation allows people to be held in these conditions for 10 years with no right to furloughs or parole.
The anarchists hung banners from the building's balconies calling for the abolition of the controversial C-type jails where conditions are especially cruel for instance access to families is denied.
They threw leaflets out the windows reading
Today, Sunday, March 8, we occupy
We demand the immediate satisfaction of the demands of the prisoners hunger strike.
The withdrawal of special anti-terrorist laws, particularly the laws on "criminal organizations "(Laws 187 and 187A).
