Türkiye has strongly condemned Greece’s release of Alexandros Giotopoulos, the convicted leader of the Marxist-Leninist November 17 terrorist organization, calling the decision “unacceptable.”
Giotopoulos was released from a prison in Athens on May 21 after a judicial panel approved his conditional release on the grounds of age, health and good behavior.
A prosecutor at Greece’s Supreme Court is reviewing the ruling and could challenge it, according to reports.
