For years now the defence has pointed out severe procedural errors in the case - key documents not translated or missing, vague sub poenas, we didn’t even know who or when some of the charges related to!

BREAKING!

In the trial of the Seán Binder and 23 humanitarians today in Greece, the prosecutor recommends the charges be dropped for lack of translation!

This is a crucial step towards dropping all charges, including felonies, and towards justice.

Hard to process yesterday’s trial.

Seán Binder and his co-accused have been waiting to have their case heard for almost five years. It has only just begun.

We need to support them all the way.
