Far-Left Terrorist Who Inspired Violent Protests Ends Hunger Strike 14 Mar 2021 ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek convicted terrorist Dimitris Koufodinas has ended a 66-day hunger strike that left him dangerously ill. Koufodinas, 63, who is serving 11 consecutive life sentences plus 25 years for murders he committed as the main hitman of far-left armed group November 17, had begun the hunger strike demanding to be transferred to a prison of his choice. In a statement released through his lawyer, Ioanna Kourtovik, Koufodinas thanked the “progressive people” who showed solidarity in a “fight against an inhumane power system.” Several protest marches have taken place to support Koufodinas’ demands and sympathisers have staged a series of arson and vandalism attacks in recent days.
