Around 80 protesters marched in Xanthi in solidarity with Dimitris Koufontinas, a former member of the 17 November left-wing urban guerilla who entered a hunger strike on the 8th of January to demand his return to the Korydallos prison in Athens, where he would once again be able to see his family and other visitors.
