In a letter, Nikos Maziotis complains concerning the obstruction of the authorities and the administration of the Domokos prisons concerning the availability of medical care.
“Simply as for 2 years I didn’t give up my dignity to the judicial council of Lamia who asks me for statements of evaluation, punishment and repentance to be able to launch me, I cannot give up my dignity to the human guards both to be able to get the care I would like. Medical remedy is my inalienable and non-negotiable proper, and it’s unacceptable for use as a stress software to just accept degrading strategies of remedy.”notes amongst different issues.
The intervention of Nikos Maziotis intimately
In accordance with the legislation, the well being care of prisoners is corresponding to the care of the remainder of the inhabitants (Article 27 par. 1 of the Penal Code). However such a factor doesn’t occur in actuality.
Lack of medical workers, lack of docs, delays in transfers of prisoners to hospitals, particular safety measures and procedures in some instances like mine, make the supposed proper to care a hole letter. Within the prisons of Domokos the place I’ve been for the final 4 years there’s a physician, normally a pathologist, for two days per week who in a number of instances relating to incidents that don’t fall underneath his specialty, merely fills out a referral for an appointment on the Lamia hospital, which it may be accomplished in a interval from a number of weeks to 2 months, generally much more. In a number of instances, attributable to an absence of medical workers, jail guards tackle the function of nurse.
A number of deaths of prisoners have been occasioned in prisons on occasion by the failure of the jail authorities and administration to offer well timed remedy to which the prisoner is meant to be entitled underneath the legislation. After all, for this entire state of affairs, which can by no means change as a result of the state equipment doesn’t need it to vary, the accountability lies with the so-called ministry of “civil safety”, the jail managements and the prosecutors-supervisors of the prisons who supposedly deal with the applying of the legislation and the honest remedy of prisoners. In spite of everything, the primary concern of the Ministry of “Civil Safety” in recent times, because the successive reforms of the legal and penitentiary code have proven, is to fill extra prisons with prisoners and the additional keep of prisoners in prisons.
Throughout my lengthy keep in prisons I’ve skilled as a result of nature of my case (Revolutionary Wrestle) a particular standing which had penalties by way of the well being care that the system “offered” to me. After I used to be arrested in July 2014, injured with a damaged proper humerus bone in a combat in Monastiraki – I used to be shot by a “protector” of the citizen of the DIAS group who two years later robbed and killed a taxi driver in Kastoria – I remained disabled in a single arm for over a yr.
Though a second operation was required after about six months, the state didn’t hold me within the jail hospital. He ordered my switch initially to Diavata jail in Thessaloniki and on the finish of December 2014 to Sort C jail in Domoko. These kind C prisons had been constructed by the Samara authorities and the then authorities had already introduced since my arrest by way of the then Minister of Public Order, Kikilia, that I might be the primary prisoner to be despatched to them once they had been prepared.
In the course of the time I used to be in kind C prisons, they took me as soon as a month only for an x-ray to the hospital in Lamia with out providing me something for remedy and rehabilitation. Greater than a yr needed to cross, in August 2015, when as a result of courts I had for the case of the Revolutionary Wrestle, I had moved to Korydallos the place, after my very own stress, I used to be operated on for the 2nd time in Evangelismos by the identical physician who operated on me and the primary time after my arrest. If I had not moved to Korydallos due to the courts, I might most likely have had one limb amputated. Because the physician who operated on me had advised me, the 2nd operation to restore the wound ought to have been accomplished six months after the primary.
In one other case, the prosecutor in control of Korydallos prisons – immediately she is in control of “organized crime” – had canceled a surgical procedure I used to be scheduled to have for the nasal septum as a result of she didn’t take into account it needed! That is the remedy corresponding to the remainder of the inhabitants that the legislation says!
After all, in instances of steady disaster, generalized impoverishment, austerity and degradation of the general public well being system by the state itself which promotes neoliberal doctrines and privatizations – together with well being – for the good thing about capital, elementary care is troublesome for the broader widespread strata and the vast majority of the inhabitants. Not to mention the inmates in prisons that the system considers inferior. It makes it much more troublesome for instances like mine due to the character of my case (Revolutionary Wrestle), versus the care their very own kids have, the fascist parastatals, those that used to do the soiled work of the state, however the they broke down after the Fyssa homicide, and had been generally used towards us alongside the police and MAT. One such particular person is the just lately launched neo-Nazi Golden Daybreak chief who for nearly three years was in a rehabilitation heart attributable to coronavirus. Most likely no citizen in the course of the years of the pandemic had the care that this neo-Nazi had. It has been confirmed all through time that the Greek state has all the time supported the donors and their descendants, and has all the time persecuted the liberty fighters. Due to its genofascisms it’s a payer state, a state that has in its dna the tradition of ragiadism.
There have been additionally instances the place the cops of the outer guard of the Domoko prisons refused to switch me to the Lamia hospital, as soon as for an ophthalmic examination and as soon as for an ENT as a result of I refused the indecent approach they needed to do the bodily examination, that’s to take away my garments whereas they might use a steel detector. The second time was just lately, in the course of the interval throughout which I’ve taken a number of common leaves within the final two years. And this proves that there are usually not even safety causes that may be invoked for such an indecent bodily test. The one purpose is humiliation.
Not too long ago in an examination (MRI) accomplished over the past go away, I used to be recognized with a power tear (recurrence) of the gastrocnemius muscle of the best decrease limb (third diploma fracture), which requires rapid remedy and rehabilitation. Any obstruction to remedy and rehabilitation, burdens the director of prisons Domokos himself and the supervising prosecutors. Any refusal by the Domoko prisons’ exterior guard organs to switch me to the hospital in Lamia – as has already occurred twice up to now – as a result of I refuse to bear the bodily examination in an undignified method, thus placing my well being in danger, burdens them similar and the supervising prosecutors of the prisons.
As I’ve not surrendered my dignity to the judicial council of Lamia for 2 years, which asks me for statements of revision, punishment and repentance to be able to launch me, I cannot give up my dignity to the human guards both to be able to obtain the care I deserve. Medical care is my inalienable and non-negotiable proper and it’s unacceptable for use as a stress software to just accept degrading strategies of remedy.
