GREECE: Conscientious objector Lazaros Petromelides released on bail
Greek conscientious objector Lazaros Petromelides, who was arrested on 17 September 2002 (see GR12008-180902 - http://wri-irg.org/news/htdocs/18092002a.html) was sent to the Navy Military Court on 19 September, and then released on bail for €1,000. The trial for his second draft evasion - illegal under the European Convention of Human Rights - will take place in the Military Court in Thessaloniki, but a date was not set yet.
War Resisters' International therefore still requests to send letters to the Greek authorities, as mentioned in the earlier co-alert GR12008-180902.
