“All the indications converge on the fact that the police officers brutally abused the 16-year-old in Neo Heraklion”, argued, the Lawyer of the girl who was seriously injured in the head during incidents on 28/10 in Neo Heraklion, where an anti-fascist concert was taking place in the Theater at the ISAP station, Annie Paparrousou.

Thursday morning (9/11), speaking on his morning show MEGAMrs. Paparrousou stated that:
“The girl is not in a condition to testify, but what I can tell you is that despite the denials of ELAS trade unionists and the Minister of Public Order who stated that the police have no responsibility for the incident, all the evidence converges to the view that the police brutalized this girl and went to the hospital with very heavy injuries.
From the analysis of the incidents that we and the family do together, it follows that there is no way he was hit by a falli.e. the version supported by ELAS.
This also follows from forensics exhibition which was quickly done, in which the girl is reported to have been beaten, by blunt organ and the injuries present on her body result from arrest (here the forensic examiner means that they caught her with their hands and these exudations are recorded in the forensic report)”.

Mrs. Paparrousou, in fact, added that, “when her mother went to the hospital, the hospital was guarded by armored police officers from the OPKE group, the competent police officers assured her that there was no problem and later a case file was formed, by the same police officers who were there, from the OPKE group, with which her are attributed heavy categories, that he belonged to a group that clashed with the police. They blame her too each individually requesting her criminal prosecutionon the grounds that there is a very high probability that he belongs to a group that colluded with the police”.
As he explains, “in principle, it’s inappropriate when you find a girl in this situation to prosecute her based on one possibility. However, this case file, which contains some material, compiled from the point of view of ELAS, is accompanied by its parallel transmission to the Internal Affairs of ELAS and a Preliminary Administrative Examination is already being conducted. ELAS itself therefore already maintains very serious fears that this incident was caused by abuse suffered by the girl by the police.
At the same time, the head of the Athens First Instance Prosecutor’s Office orders preliminary examination with the questions of whether the offenses of grievous bodily harm or attempted homicide have been committed”.
