On May 24, hunger striker Aristotelis Chantzis was transported by ambulance to Aiginiteio Hospital after experiencing numbness in the head and blurred vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the neurological examination it was revealed absent tendon reflexes in the lower limbs, consistent with malnutrition. A brain CT scan was performed, revealing no acute pathology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the doctors\u2019 orders, he was admitted to Elpis Hospital for further medical evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pathological examination revealed a viral infection of the upper respiratory system, which is accelerating the deterioration of his condition and increasing the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blood tests revealed low serum urea levels, hyperuricemia, and symptomatic hypoglycemia, findings consistent with starvation. At the same time, new-onset transaminasemia indicative of liver dysfunction was observed in the context of prolonged starvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the integration of the exams he returned to the neighborhood of Prosfygika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We repeat that from the first weeks of the hunger strike, he has been experiencing progressively worsening episodes of orthostatic hypotension, dizziness with fatigue and tachycardia upon standing. Those episodes have worsened and are now significantly affecting his ability to function, in addition with sleep disorders that have been established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, persistent electrocardiographic abnormalities predisposing to fatal arrhythmias are observed daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He already had on 3\/04\/\/2026 a fainting episode and he experiences hypoglycemic episodes on a daily basis, while on Wednesday, April 15, medical intervention was required to treat a severe hypoglycemic episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hunger striker is now very exhausted, suffering from swelling in both lower limbs and an inability to stand for long periods, which significantly limits his mobility and ability to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is already on his 110th day of hunger strike and is emaciated, weighing 43.7 Kg and having lost a total of 32.76% % of his initial body weight. Given the duration of the hunger strike, we warn of the risk of imminent irreversible damage to vital organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With every passing 24 hours, the hunger striker faces an ever-increasing cardiovascular and metabolic risk, with dangerous, life-threatening complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to all of the above, since Wednesday, May 20, he has been suffering from a viral upper respiratory infection, which is accelerating the deterioration of his condition and increasing the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His demands reflect the collective demands of the Community:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The hunger has declared that he does not intend to end his hunger strike despite the health risks, until his demands are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After 110 days of a hunger strike and given the progressively worsening condition of his health, everyone involved is to be held accountable for the imminent complications or even a fatal outcome, especially the Regional Administration of Attica. The cover-up of the hunger strike by the majority of the media, as well as the criminal silence of the government, parliamentary political forces, and the relevant authorities, are all complicit in driving the hunger striker to his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On May 14, Mitsotakis government clearly stated its decision regarding the death of the hunger strikers from the Community of Squatted Prosfygika. Specifically, government spokesperson P.Marinakis, in response to a question from journalist Christos Avramidis about whether the government intends, based on Amnesty International\u2019s appeal* to comply with international human rights standards and urgently review the demands of hunger strikers Aristotelis Chantzis and Suzon Doppagne and the Community, he explicitly states the decision to evict the Community of Squatted Prosfygika and condems to death the the two hunger strikers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n * The statment of Amnesty International on 27\/04\/2026 which is calling out the Region of Attica for violating fundamental and constitutionally protected human rights through plans concerning the Community of Squatted Prosfygika, as expressed in Decision No. 864\/16-6-2025 regarding the conclusion of a programmatic agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
