"They beat us. They locked us in a cell for several hours. We were handcuffed . The blood was no longer circulating in our hands. We have bruises everywhere. Right now we are prisoners . This is the last message I can send you. They will take my phone away."

They were violently attacked by a riot police squad in the Exarcheia area on Sunday night after a solidarity rally for student protests in #France , at Propylaia. Despite the unprovoked violence they received, they were arrested, until next Wednesday. The three are accused, among other things, on a case-by-case basis of violence against employees(police), insults, threats, simple bodily harm against employees, disruption of the operation of a public service and attempting to free a prisoner. Despite their obvious injuries, the court ordered the extension of their detention, so all three will remain detained until tomorrow when they will be brought back to the courts of the former Evelpidon School.

The French embassy has been informed of the incident, which claims that no one from the Hellenic Police has contacted them, while they are normally obliged to do so. Finally, an appeal is made for the collection of video footage.
