Convicted 17. November terrorist Dimitris Koufontinas has agreed to start gradually receiving food and liquids, the General Hospital of Lamia (GHL) said on Sunday.
The 17 November terrorist group hitman was on a hunger strike since January, later including a refusal to take liquids, demanding he be transferred to Korydallos prison instead of Domokos. He was admitted to the Lamia Hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU), where he remains.
Early in February, a prosecutor had ordered the hospital to feed Koufontinas despite his wishes if there were signs of irreversible damage. After consulting with his lawyers, the doctors had responded at the time that they would intervene against his wishes only if he became gravely ill.
Earlier in the day, Koufodinas had released a message through his lawyer to thank his supporters.
