Visit the blog entry to see the video.] The social media campaign was launched over the weekend aiming to raise awareness about the deplorable conditions of the hospital wing of Korydallos prison. Many of the sick prisoners were on hunger strike since February 16th, the campaigners claimed. tuberculosis, scabies, HIV positive, all together in one room…. A dozen of pictures uploaded in Twitter and Facebook with the caption “HELP US” demonstrated the unbearable conditions in overcrowded and dirty rooms, the poor sanitary conditions. The uploaded pictures shocked the public, were copy-paste and spread like wildfire through the internet. Awareness was achieved. On Sunday, Greek Justice Ministry announced the deployment of more health personnel to the hospital section of Korydallos and also that amendment would be added to a legislation to pass by the Parliament on Wednesday: allowing the early release of prisoners serving sentences of less than 10 years’ duration who suffer from multiple sclerosis, hemiplegia (paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body), paraplegia, have undergone heart or kidney transplant operations, have been diagnosed with cancer or have tested HIV positive. Female prisoners who have underage children with them in their cells will also be released, according to the justice ministry amendment. For inmates to be eligible, they must have served at least two fifths of their sentence. (via enetenglish) Pictures, video by @Kolastirio (“Hellhole”), also via zougla.gr
