Chris Avramidis wrote that a court convicted five police officers for the torture of Vasilis Mangos, but decided to release them on probation. He mentioned that Mangos died a few weeks later. Despite his criticism of the probation, he described the conviction and the mobilization of Mangos' parents and the solidarity movement, which he said did not allow the case to be forgotten, as a victory. Avramidis argued that the family faced exclusions from the judicial process, delays, and changes in judicial officials, which he had denounced. He also said that the police officers who were convicted for beatings or referred for torture were not removed from the force and remained armed. As examples of leniency towards police, he cited the case of a police officer in Ilioupoli, who, according to him, was sentenced to 5.5 years for human trafficking and other offenses but was released on probation pending appeal. For the two police officers from the Omonoia police station, he mentioned sentences of four years and four years and five months for the rape of a 19-year-old, with the second also being convicted for illegal recording; both, he wrote, were released on probation pending the appeal. He also mentioned that the two police officers in the "flowerpot" case were sentenced to 2.5 years each in the appeal court, with probation. For a police officer who, as he wrote, tortured two youths with electric shocks in Aspropyrgos, he noted that at first, probation was granted pending the appeal, and eventually a five-year sentence was imposed, convertible to 5 euros per day. He added that Greece was condemned by Strasbourg for disproportionate leniency. For police officers convicted of abusing Afghan refugees in Agios Panteleimonas, he reported sentences of 20 and 25 months in the appeal court for unprovoked bodily harm, also with probation. He contrasted these cases with that of a cleaner, who, according to him, was imprisoned for ten years because she claimed to have completed the sixth grade while she had only finished the fifth, in order to find a job. He said she was held in the Thiva prison and was released after mobilization. He further mentioned that Tasos Theofilou spent almost five years in prison before being acquitted of all charges, while Irianne and Pericles remained in prison for over a year without being granted probation and were unanimously acquitted. Avramidis argued that these cases revealed a double standard in justice. He concluded that, in his opinion, the problem was not probation itself but who benefited from leniency and who faced harsh penalties, characterizing impunity as a political choice. #antireport #Μαγγος #αστυνομία #δικαιοσύνη #ανθρώπιναδικαιώματα (translated)

Babis Georges Petrakis wrote that 22-year-old Louise Montangon, a graduate philosophy student, had stood out in France for her interventions regarding student protests. According to him, she had denounced on television shows that the "Islamo-left" was instrumentalizing them, while she criticized the violence and the blockades of schools, saying that a noisy minority was preventing the majority of students from attending classes. Petrakis noted that Montangon had stated that she was ashamed to belong to her generation and had emphasized the importance of effort and excellence. Petrakis added that Montangon had denounced violence, threats, and bullying from leftist students, and that she had interrupted her in-person classes for safety reasons. In his description, groups of dozens or even hundreds of people were waiting to remove her from the school and the library. He also said that she had stated that she would not back down from her views. Petrakis mentioned that Montangon belonged to the National Rally (Rassemblement National) of Marine Le Pen and was working for common ideological platforms among the conservative parties of France. #Γενιά #Φοιτητές #Ιδεολογίες (translated)
