Meanwhile in Greece

Several anti-globalization activists who were arrested in Greece on an apparent police frame up during riots at the European Union Summit in Thessaloniki in June are dying. They've been on hunger strike since October to protest their innocence. A videotape of the event actually proves one man was framed.

The tapes, from two Greek channels, show Mr Chapman clearly wearing a blue rucksack during fighting with police. Separate footage then shows Greek police in riot gear collecting petrol bombs and other items into a black rucksack. Mr Chapman has been charged with possession of a black rucksack containing petrol bombs, a hammer and an axe.

Mr Ladis said: "The video shows the scene where Mr Chapman was detained wearing the blue rucksack. A couple of minutes later you have him sitting down after being badly beaten by the police and there is a new rucksack, which is black."

A citizen's commitment to changing the system can be lethal. Granted, these men are voluntarily choosing to go on hunger strike. But if they did not, would we ever know about their case?
