He has already served almost 5 years. The room was full of supporters, that burst out in slogans and clapping after the announcement of the decision. The presence of the cops was discreet without EKAM (greek special forces) and masked ones as at previous trials. The speeches and points made of the defence lawyers were remarkable and they didn't speak of a "victory" ofcourse but for a "proportional sentence that corresponds the charges" The comrade was led again to prison with his fists raised and in the next days he is expected to be led to Domokos prison from the prisons of Koridallos where he was kept temporarily for the trial. THE PASSION FOR FREEDOM IS STRONGER THAN THEIR PRISONS
