Announcement to the society

We, the 300 migrants hunger strikers, we demand legalization of all migrants living and working in Greece and we declare the following:

–        We, 300, took the initiative for that kind of struggle, without the intervention of political parties, organizations and individuals.

–        We believe that the country that we live in is a democracy and as such must respect human rights and international agreements.

–        We are committed and we continue the hunger strike; despite all the pressure and the bad conditions of the place that, by force, we accepted to move.

–        We call every free thinking person in Greece or abroad to stand in solidarity with our fair struggle in order to live with dignity.
