At the end of last December, the Greek government approved a reform of the national penitentiary system that, in addition to other measures that worsen prison conditions, establishes that those convicted of terrorism cannot access “rural prisons,” more “open” institutions to which long-term prisoners have access. The approval of this law has led to the immediate transfer of political prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas from the rural prison of Kassevitia.

Dimitris is a comrade convicted for participating in the revolutionary organization 17 November, in prison since 2002. The new set of laws stipulates that inmates in rural prisons are reclassified and then transferred to the last prison they were in. In Dimitris’s case it should have been the Athenian prison of Koridallos. However, the prison administration decided to transfer him, manipulating the transfer papers, to Domokos prison. Although there are no differentiated circuits in Greece, in recent years, the prison administration has turned Domokos into a “hard” prison.

“El COVID es como si necesitara una fotocopiadora para extenderse y la plitidepsina (Apladin) lo desenchufa”

En las aguas que rodean la isla de Ibiza vive un pequeño invertebrado llamado Aplidium albicans. Este organismo forma parte de la familia de las ascidias, una criatura que pasa sus días inmóvil, pegada a una roca, mientras filtra el agua para conseguir alimento. Ejemplar en el que se podría encontrar una cura para el coronavirus.

The world dreams of putting an end to the coronavirus. Countries are scrambling to immunize their populations to wake up from a nightmare that began about a year ago. Every day, millions of uncertain vaccine doses are emptied into the arms of the entire planet. Yet another possible solution lurks beneath the surface.

“COVID is as if it needs a copier to spread itself and plitidepsin unplugs it”

In the waters that surround the island of Ibiza lives a small invertebrate called Aplidium albicans. This organism is part of the family of sea squirts, a creature that spends its days immobile, stuck to a rock, while it filters the water to get food. Specimen in which a cure for coronavirus could be found.

And it is that from Aplidium albicans that plitidepsin is extracted, the active principle on which Aplidin is based, manufactured by the Spanish company Pharmamar. This antitumor drug could be highly effective in fighting the pandemic.

Honduras State Femicide
Four women murdered in recent days
By Giorgio Trucchi Posted on Feb 11, 2021

We have already said it and we do not tire of doing it: in Honduras the true pandemics are those of femicides and impunity.

On the night of February 6, Keyla Martínez, a young 26-year-old nursing student, was arrested in the city of La Esperanza for violating the curfew imposed by the Hernández government as a measure to combat the Covid pandemic. 19.

At approximately 11:30 at night she was arrested for being out after Covid curfew, taken to the Departmental Unit of the Police of this city and locked in a cell. A few hours later, Keyla’s lifeless body was admitted to the departmental hospital emergency room.

According to the Police, the young woman would have committed suicide by hanging herself from the bars of the cell. A thesis already discarded by the autopsy that reflected that the death of the young woman was due to mechanical asphyxia, which shows that she was murdered.

After knowing the result of forensic medicine, the Prosecutor’s Office issued instructions to the police authorities so that all the agents assigned to the police post be placed under the orders of the Public Ministry.
