Mother of 12-year-old boy goes on hunger strike Columna victim of rape and harassment, her lawyer Apostolos Lytras told ERT.

The reason for the rejection of her application for release from prison.

“Her appeal was rejected by a majority. There was an excellent judge who, in fact, offered a 40-page private will why the mother should be released. The other two judges took a different view and, unfortunately, he will remain in prison. Of course, after the statutory deadline has passed, we will submit a new request for release from prison. I think the mother case is not one in a million that will stand in any court,” he said.

According to him, the family is in a tragic situation. “The children themselves, they say, and they know better than anyone, that the mother has absolutely nothing to do with it. A 12-year-old girl repeatedly gave the same testimony, and we see that the judiciary believes a 12-year-old girl to choose, that is, in some cases they accept exactly what she says, in the case of the mother, we have seen that they do not accept exactly what she says,” he said.
