Ioannina

Vangelis Giakoumakis, the soft-spoken young man who was pushed by bullies to take his own life about a month ago, had sent a letter to the Greek parliament, along with several of his college mates, complaining about the miserable conditions at the Dairy School of Ioannina he was attending.

Perpetrators of bullying could face a minimum six-month prison term if found guilty if a special provision drafted by Greek Justice Minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos becomes law.

The provision, which the ministry says was expected to fill a legal vacuum, is being drafted as part of legislation regarding the abolition of C-type maximum security prisons.

Police in Ioannina, northwestern Greece, were questioning students and teachers at the local Dairy School on Monday after a coroner deemed that Vangelis Giakoumakis, a student at the school who was found dead after 38 days missing, took his own life.

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has unveiled a five-year plan involving more than 300 members of its teaching and research staff to lend their know-how to help protect the monuments and cultural heritage of Epirus, northwestern Greece.
