On Wednesday, September 18, the appeals court of the Ilioupoli
trafficking case will start again. At the start of the proceedings inthe second degree, in February 2024, we once again witnessed a vulgar
attack by the defendants' advocates against E. and her credibility, with
insults to the face of the 19-year-old, shouts and threats to the
solidarity world. A condition which is a constant tactic of the defense
lawyers of traffickers, rapists and murderers who, in a complete
inversion of reality, attempt to slander and terrorize their victims and
their families. A condition that is possible thanks to the full coverage
and tolerance of the institutional judicial authorities, as we saw
throughout the evolution of the case of E. but also in the case of
Colonos and during the appeal court of the case of the murder of Zack
Kostopoulou/Zackie oh.
The attempt to terrorize E. and the efforts to transform her from victim
to perpetrator have started from the first moment she breaks her silence
and denounces her hostage and exploitation. In July 2021, she finds the
strength and with the solidarity of a local cafe worker, she manages to
escape from the apartment in Ilioupoli in which she was held captive by
the pimp cop D. Bouyoukos who systematically threatened, tortured, raped
and extradited her. From the police station, where she goes to file a
complaint, to the internal affairs department and even to the hospital,
where she is taken with characteristic delay, she is treated as an
accused. She is kept in solitary confinement, cut off from her mother
and lawyers and is not provided with any psychological support. While
afterwards, wherever she is forced to live at an unknown address since
she is the recipient of constant threats from the trafficking ring, of
which she was a victim, the only help she has for her psychological and
material support comes from a sympathetic world.
With the start of the trial in the first instance, the judicial
authorities subject her to a torturous procedure, during which she is
forced to testify behind closed doors with only those present who raped
her, abused her and betrayed her; completely exposed to slander,
insults, intimidation and intimidation by her father who raped her since
she was a child, by the policeman Buyuko, by her second rapist and also
by the defenders of the mobsters and the rapists * with the headquarters
refusing to examine key elements of the case that had come in the light,
from which it emerged that the case was connected to that of the Greek
police mafia and the trafficking rings* with the humiliating questions
from the headquarters and the slanders from the lawyers against her
mother and brother who were judged as unreliable and irresponsible,
aligning with the testimony of the rapist's father; forced to describe
everything she suffered without anyone of her own being able to be with
her and with the solidarity world outside the halls fighting with the
police forces to stand; and with her in the end rejected first instance
decision where the father is acquitted, D. Bouyoukos although found
guilty of human trafficking (only in the case of E. because the court
refused to take into account the statements of the other victims who
according to their right could and not to attend), is suspended and
released and only the so-called "Daniel", a pimp of E. is found guilty
and sent to prison. While Marina's son, the person who was directly
connected to other trafficking cases, such as that of the 12-year-old
girl from Colonos, is also acquitted.
Now, a year and a half after the first instance decision, apart from the
fact that the pimp Buyoukos has threatened E., her family as well as the
solidarity world that supported her throughout this journey, with public
posts, and since he continues his life unhindered by drumming up that in
addition to being a mobster, rapist and cop he is also a fascist, the
civil justice decides to prosecute E. in order to continue this chain of
constant threats, terrors and vindictiveness against a man who, by
denouncing her exploitation, shed light on the darkest, rotten parts of
the reality created by the barbaric world of state and capitalism.
In a crescendo of absurdity and vulgarity, on February 26, 2024, the
Greek judiciary summons E. as an accused for acts she did during the
time she was under the control and threats of the pimping ring and
indeed based on the lawsuit filed by D. himself. Buyoukos, i.e. the cop
convicted of human trafficking who extradited her. The trial, which will
result in E.'s acquittal, once again demonstrates the need of the rotten
patriarchal, exploitative and oppressive system to cover up the
trafficking rings, to wash away and throw away those involved.
This attack, like all the previous ones, could not succeed thanks to the
solidarity of the world, which stood up to the terrorism and the
provocative rhetoric that is trying to be imposed inside and outside the
courtrooms. In this direction, we will stand by E. and the appeals court
of the trafficking case, which starts in a few days. And we will do the
same every time and in every case that the catalytic role of
institutions in cultivating, reproducing and covering up patriarchal
violence is confirmed. As in the trial of the Colonos case, where, after
the trafficking ring was first excluded and after the partial conviction
of Mihos, the judicial authorities in an act of revenge attempt to
re-prosecute the mother of the 12-year-old. In fact, at the same time
that the young girl herself is exposed to the attacks and threats of
people who were accused of being her rapists and who, by the decision of
the judicial authorities, are now free. As we found ourselves in the
appeals court of the murderers of Zack Kostopoulos/Zackie oh!
With solidarity as our weapon to fight those battles that will topple
the bankrupt world of state, capitalism and patriarchy. Let the
exploited and oppressed fight for the building of a society whose
compass will be life based on freedom, equality, justice and solidarity.
In tomorrow's society of Emancipation and generalized Self-Direction.
Gender-based violence is institutional - trafficking, camps, (child)rapes
