21.12.17: Following a telephone conversation we have learned that Nikos Maziotis is in Korydallos Prison Hospital after being assaulted and beaten.
Specifically the prisoner who attacked him said: “Are you the Maziotis who plays the hard case?” before breaking his ribs and landing serious blows to his head.
Comrade Maziotis was in a weakened state having ended his hunger strike a few days ago and still being in the process of recovery.
The attack was obviously ordered by the authorities, this is apparent from the fact that the assailant has no personal relationship with Comrade Maziotis and does not even know him.
We will receive further updates when comrades in solidarity speak with Nikos soon via telephone.
