She lost her life denouncing the prison system

Katerina Gkoulioni found dead on board during the transfer from prison to prison Eleonas Thebes Crete.The causes of death remain unresolved. Two months before the tragic ending, the woman sent a letter to the Ombudsman. This letter was for the woman, aged forty one years, the sole prop. 


In this letter Katerina Gkoulioni describes an incredible clarity and realism that one hardly stand it, the almost daily torture by the guards, doctors and general managers of the prison. The text of this letter is creepy. It refers to that worst record in the history of prisons. The methodology and the systematic torture, the carefully planned attack on the personality of the almost daily rape by the guards on the pretext of «research» to find a quantity of drugs, the barbaric and brutal «admission» vaginal in the country, which accompanied by comments sex, forced to afodefei and tails in the sight of the jailer, these refer to an orderly torture that violate the laws of the State, the rules of the prison system, human rights. Reminiscent Ntachaou and Auschwitz. All this, however, occur in 2009 in the prisons of this country. 

Katerina Gkoulioni found dead in the transfer, but the authorities did not even have to publish the final findings to explain death. It is also unknown whether the Ombudsman responded or if it intends to respond to the letter received from the desperate food on 2 February 2009. Since two months have rolled and the women in prison Eleonas of Thebes still raped and humiliate daily.
