Kostas Georgakis, died of self-immolation in protest of the fascist Greek junta of the 1970's.

"I am sure that sooner or later the people of Europe will understand that a fascist regime like the one based on Greek tanks is not only an insult to their dignity as free men but also a constant threat to Europe. ... I do not want my action to be considered heroic as it is nothing more than a situation of no choice. On the other hand, maybe some people will awaken to see what times we live in. "

"I cannot but think and act as a free individual"
