Thessaloniki: “We were marked with a flash of lightning at the height of the heads”
“The repressive forces were at the height of our heads flashing. We were shot directly and I happened to find one in my mouth, “says Giannis Dousakis, the student who was injured in Thursday’s incidents at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
“The repressive forces were at the height of our heads flashing. We were shot straight and I happened to find one in my mouth. And now I’m in the hospital with a broken jaw, with teeth that I’m very likely to lose. I wanted to figure out in about 5 seconds how much I had hit. “I fell to the floor, crawled and then I just stopped communicating and the next image was to have a lot of fellow students and academics by my side to help me,” he told OPEN.
It is noted that the student being re-admitted to hospital, as it was found to have injuries to the upper and lower jaw.
The student spoke to “Smile and Again” and described the moments between the students and MAT.
“The truth is that I find it very difficult to speak. I have been hospitalized in Papanikolaou for three days now. The first day that the repression forces hit me, they took an ambulance from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and went to Ippokratio. I was sewn on my lips and gums, Hippocrates simply could not cover the dental care and had to send a referral to go to an orthodontist. Now, I have something like a splint on my teeth and gums to hold them because many of them are broken. I hope to keep them, I can put an implant. “We look at the ears a lot, it has started and the situation is stabilizing, the audiogram showed good results but we have a way ahead of us”, said the student in MEGA.
“We had a mobilization of the student associations and we started from the Rector’s Office to reach the Organic. There are mobilizations in the universities, for the library in the Biological, but because the students do not have a place to feel free. There are MAT squads everywhere and you have to go through them to get to your school. I think education and repression are two things that are not confused. That is why we are mobilizing. Students have been calling for the downsizing of universities for years. At the moment the asylum has been lifted to serve other purposes“, He added.
“The mobilization started from the Rectorate and was massed at the Biological, where the MATs were. Students have as a weapon are the loud voices and banners they hold in their hands. Mallon Our presence at the university is threatening. They gave me a flash of lightning and I suffered what I suffered. I do not rule out the possibility of an attack on me personally. I do not know how I will move, I look at my health first “, said Giannis Dousakis talking about fair play of students that will not stop.
