Revolutionary Organization 17 November

Convicted November 17 terrorist Dimitris Koufodinas was on Friday taken to the intensive care unit of the Volos General Hospital after feeling unwell, according to reports.

A leading member of the anarchist group Rouvikonas who was arrested in connection with the vandalism of the Parliament building on May 21 was released on Thursday after paying 30,000 euros in bail.

The man has been released pending trial on criminal charges of defacing a historical monument and has been banned from leaving the country.

Dimitris Koufodinas, the convicted hitman of the November 17 terrorist group, was discharged from a hospital in Volos, central Greece, yesterday where he had been taken almost a month ago after going on hunger strike to protest the refusal of a furlough request.

An anti-establishment group calling themselves Anarchists have claimed responsibility for an attack on a pre-election campaign event organized by the conservative New Democracy party in Athens on May 15.

New Democracy-backed Athens mayor candidate Costas Bakoyannis was late Tuesday confronted by self-styled anarchists while he was having a dinner meeting with municipal candidates at a restaurant in the Athens neighborhood of Petralona.

Convicted terrorist Dimitris Koufodinas has ended his hunger strike after the penal section of the Supreme Court accepted an appeal filed by the court's top prosecutor against the rejection of his leave earlier Thursday.
The former hitman of the now-defunct November 17 terrorist group, who had refused to eat for 21 days, will remain in intensive care until he completes his recovery.

At a time when cynicism and divisions are prevalent in Greece, many will choose to ignore or minimize the support offered to Costas Bakoyannis, who is running for mayor of Athens, by his rival candidates Pavlos Geroulanos and Nasos Iliopoulos following the attack on the former's campaign kiosk in central Athens.

An Athens prosecutor has brought criminal charges against the perpetrators of Wednesday's vandal attack on Parliament for defacing a historical monument which is a criminal charge.

Authorities have so far arrested a 36-year-old suspect in connection with the assault which was carried out by members of the anti-establishment group Rouvikonas.

A day after members of the anti-establishment group Rouvikonas hurled red paint at Greece's Parliament, one of the most heavily guarded buildings in central Athens, the leader of the conservative opposition deplored the leniency of the leftist government toward the perpetrators.

Self-styled anarchists targeted the election campaign kiosk of Athens mayor candidate Costas Bakoyannis in a vandal attack late Tuesday.

The assailants, who were shouting slogans in favor of jailed November 17 terrorist Dimitris Koufodinas, splashed paint and spray-painted anarchist symbols on the kiosk in front of the Old Parliament near Syntagma Square.
