Fix things
For two days, with repeated announcements, government officials, the Prime Minister himself, but also “civil society actors” (coincidentally, along the same lines), the detainee Dimitris Koufontinas has been accused of not having exercised the legal procedures for his transfer. in Korydallos and who chooses suicide!
They are lying. And we have to point out the following:
Immediately after his transfer to Domokos, the detainee submitted to the secretariat a request for transfer to Korydallos, in accordance with Law 4760/20, which, the store assured us, was forwarded to the Ministry on 1/11 /. 2021 with protocol number 23624.
This request has not been answered to date.
In addition, since 12/28/20, the detainee has requested that a copy of the transfer decision be delivered, which until then he knew belonged to the Secretary General and not to the competent body, which is the Central Transfer Committee (KEM). .
In her letter, Ms Nikolaou stated that there was a KEM decision, based on which the detainee had been transferred to Korydallos and then to Domokos by her own decision and refused to provide copies.
This statement, according to which, within an hour, he had been transferred to Korydallos and continuously to Domokos, was what pushed the detainee on a hunger strike.
I submitted a request for copies of the decisions electronically, again, on 1/17/21, with an explicit reference to the exercise of legal remedies.
The same request was answered by the Ombudsman, on 1/21/21, in his well-known intervention in the case.
On 2/18, the Secretary General sent us an exact copy of her own decision, but not of the KEM’s decisions, which was invoked, so no proceedings against it are possible.
The appeal before the Justice of a decision to transfer KEM is provided for in article 9 para. 4 of the Penitentiary Code, when the detainee has a negative decision twice in his transfer request;):
-not when the transfer is decided by KEM itself, ex officio,
– not much more when decided by the Secretary-General for crime-fighting policy,
– not when the competent Court is the Court of Volos that had the courage, with the public incitement of the current Prime Minister to “stand up to him” and revoke a decision of the Supreme Court, was justified with the request for permission from Dimitris Koufontinas,
– not when the administrative courts responsible for administrative decisions are completely unaware of the penitentiary code and do not even have the body of the contested decisions,
– not when the Lamia Court of First Instance (incompetent by law anyway), if you don’t feel the imperative that you “must confront him” will be left ashamed of a political decision that touches not only your former governor, but the central authority of the country, the prime minister.
The new unofficial document to the members of ND to manage the prospect of a dead hunger striker, with the urgency of “saying that he has not addressed the Justice”, even misled the prime minister.
The leaders of the propaganda group should read the law before daring to use it, so as not to ridicule the party executives.
Does the government’s legal vision of “this is what I want, this is how I do it” prevail and legitimize any arbitrariness?
Even the barbarism of a death sentence?
