The image of Alexander Yotopoulos returning to prison after the referendum was lifted for his release was commented by the designer Vassilis Zoulias and remembered his good friend, Kostis Peratikos who was murdered by members of 17 November 1997.
Vasilis Zoulias, in posting on his personal Facebook account, stressed that he remembers the shipowner "smileful, optimistic, full of plans" and noted that he has difficulty attending "all this talk about humanity for the convicted terrorist".
Regarding the images seen in the light of publicity with the sentenced 17 lifetime as leader of the 17N terrorist organization returning to prison, he commented that it does not move him to the minimum “the image of the aged beast” and how he would like to “Die behind bars“ It’s just that I’ve been thinking. ”
Referring to the evidence found at Alexander Yotopoulos' house during his arrest he commented that among them were "His notes on Kostis Peratikos" that kept them "Like memories of a crime he considered part of his political action".
Vasilis Julia's post for Kostis Peratikos
"Every time I hear a conversation about Yotopoulos, my mind immediately goes to Kostis Peratikos. I remember him laughing, optimistic, full of plans. I remember his enthusiasm when in one of his last interviews he was talking about Elefsina Shipyards. He thought they could be saved. He believed that Greece could produce, create, move forward.
Others decided that this was enough reason to execute him. On May 28, 1997, Kostis left his office to go home. He never arrived. He left behind a wife, two little children, parents, friends and associates who still remember him.
And you know what's always impressed me? That the man accused as the November 17 brain He wasn't caught because he was betrayed by an accomplice. He wasn't caught because he was drowned by the guilt. He never helped reveal the truth.
He got caught because His papers were found. His notes on Costis Passatikos. He kept them at his place. Like records. Like trophies. Like memories of a crime he considered Part of the action policy. And it is one of the greatest ironys of this story that Kostis, even after his murder, has inadvertently contributed to leading Yotopoulos to Justice.
That is why I find it difficult to attend this debate on Humanism For the convicted terrorist.
Was there humanism about Costis? Paul Bakoyannis? For Thanos Axarlian? For the rest of the dead? For the children who grew up without a father? The parents who buried their children;
I'm not asking for revenge. I never asked. But I can't accept oblivion. Because behind every name on the victim list was a man.
And one of them was my friend Costis. And ohI am not moved at all by the image of the old beast. I would die behind bars."
