Hunger-Striking Greek Terrorist Killer Koufodinas’ Health Worsens

February 28, 2021

ATHENS – On a hunger strike nearly two months to demand transfer to a prison in Athens from where he’s being held in central Greece, Nov. 17 terrorist assassin Dimitris Koufodinas’ health is said to be at risk.

Officials at the General Hospital of Larissa said his condition had “seriously deteriorated” on Feb. 27 as his supporters have stepped up protests in the Greek capital.

Koufodinas, who was transferred from the high-security Korydallos Prison in Athens to a low-security work farm under the previous ruling Radical Left SYRIZA wants to be taken back to Korydallos from a prison in Domokos.

The Larissa hospital’s Intensive Care Unit staff is “taking all the appropriate measures and necessary medical actions to deal with the consequences of the multi-day refusal” of food and water, officials said, adding he has “persistently refused” to eat or drink.

The hospital said the hunger-striker has spent 22 days in the pathology clinic and 11 days in intensive care.

The terrorist sympathy site The Press Project said the New Democracy government is taking vengeance on him because one of the 23 victims of Nov. 17 was current Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ then brother-in-law Pavlos Bakoyannis, shot and killed outside his office in 1989.

Athens Live, citing media reports, said Koufodinas removed an antibiotic IV that was hydrating him and told his family he didn’t want to be resuscitated if he became unconscious.

Koufodinas, 63, is serving 11 life sentences plus 25 years but constantly received preferential treatment under SYRIZA, which is riddled with terrorist and anarchist sympathizers, to whom he is a darling.

He got  six vacations from jail and on one of them was seen walking around Athens pointing on the spots where he and his group and killed some of their victims.

The Press Project complained that in Domokos “He is locked together with two other prisoners in a suffocating small cell, in which, he is pent up for 15 hours a day, without having any space, nor time to do any of his previous activities, an enduring the smoking and the other needs of his fellow inmates.”
