Sentence of the trial against the Vial 15

A press release has been published by You Can't Evict Solidarity about the outcome of the Vial 15 trial that ended yesterday, 29th of June, in Mytilini, Lesvos. The court procedure followed the allegations towards 15 people for riots and fire within the EU Hotspot Camp Vial on Chios Island. The defendants were all acquitted of the felony charge of arson and of membership in a criminal group! While four people are completely innocent, eight people were found guilty for resisting arrest and violence in the camp and one for destroying public goods. One of the defendants was excluded from the procedure as he is a minor. Another person could not be found and therefore was not present in the trial. The nine people who were convicted received 3.5 years suspended sentence, which the lawyers will appeal. read more
