Arash Hampay reports:
Lesvos, Greece - Today marks the 28th day of a hunger strike by imprisoned asylum seekers on the island and Day 7 of the Solidarity Activists Lesvos #freedomstrikelesvos in solidarity with their call for justice, freedom and dignity.
On 28 June, four men imprisoned in the Moria Detention Centre in Lesvos began a hunger strike to protest their arbitrary arrest and imprisonment in gross violation of International, EU and Greek law. Arash Hampay, the brother of one the prisoners, joined them the following day. Together, they demand the immediate release of asylum seekers in administrative detention and seek to raise awareness of the brutal violation of the rights of asylum seekers indefinitely trapped on Lesvos, facing deprivation, humiliation, psychological and physical abuse, arbitrary arrest and detention at the hands of European and Greek authorities.
Despite the prisoners’ deteriorating health, authorities have refused to meet with them. Instead, they have they have routinely confiscated the prisoners’ phones, subjected them to quotidian abuse, denied them visitation rights and access to medical care together with the basics necessary to continue their protest (water, salt, sugar, sanitary equipment).
Three days ago, Amir Hampay was released from prison by court order after 24 days on hunger strike and three months in prison. #KhozinHussein and #BahroozArash remain imprisoned, and their conditions are worsening: #KhozinHussein has lost 10 kg since the beginning of his hunger strike; #BahroozArash now weighs 46 kg, having lost 14. Arash Hampay and Solidarity Activists Lesvos will continue their hunger strike in solidarity with their call for justice, freedom and dignity. The hunger strikers are calling on activists overseas to show their support by fasting for 24 hours and publicising their action on social media with #freedomstrikelesvos, holding the attached poster.
A few night ago, Arash Hampay had a message for Greek and European authorities: "we shall strike against you as we struck against injustice in our own countries. Just as we did not keep silent there, we shall not keep silent here...You can strike with your swords, your whips, your prisons but we shall strike with our pens and our torches. We do not strike with swords where there is darkness in order to show our strength, we strike matches to light candles. Our pens and our torches are more powerful than your swords. We know and you know that in the end we will defeat you...We are the people: you are the government. And the food of victory will, as always, be eaten by the people...#KozhinHussein and #BahroozArash have been hunger striking for 26 days. They will be released as Amir Hampay was released. From this you will inherit only shame.
We insist on our promise. We will continue our hunger strike untill the day Bahrooz and Kozhin are released."
