Death of 38-year-old in Patras custody: ELAS and opposition seek answers
ELAS is demanding a full clarification of the circumstances surrounding the death of a 38-year-old woman in custody at the Patras Police Department, according to In.gr. The woman was found hanged in the custody area of the Police Headquarters on Hermes Street in Patras.
ELAS expressed its revulsion at the incident and demands that appropriate responsibility be assigned, so that no unanswered questions remain regarding how the police handled the case.
In parallel, the Citizen Protection sector of Alexis Tsipras's party characterised the incident as "shocking" and called for immediate answers from the relevant authorities. In a statement, the party emphasises that the State has an unquestionable obligation to protect the life of every person held in custody.
The loss of human life within a police custody facility is characterised in the statement as "inadmissible and shameful for the rule of law". The party demands immediate attribution of responsibility to those to whom it is due.
