On December 2008 a 15 year old boy Alexis Grigoropoulos was shot and killed by cops while taking a walk in Exarchia district of Athens. Following his murder, riots and clashes with the police took place all over Greece. Alexis friend, Nikos Romanos has been on hunger strike since November 10. Romanos was sentenced to 15 years of prison for being involved in an armed bank robbery in Velvedo. During his time in prison he prepared himself for entrance exams of the School of Business Administration of Athens which he eventually passed. The state awarded him 500 euros for his success and invited him to meet the president of the Republic, both of which the 21-year-old refused. Romanos applied to attend his university courses as he is so allowed by Greek law. According to the pertinent regulation, he may leave his cell for 24 hours in order to pursue his studies, as long as he returns to prison in the evening. Regardless, the Greek state went on to refuse his request. WE DO NOT FORGIVE - WE DO NOT FORGET #ACAB images by Wonder Jlaw 3
