Simon Chapman, 30, from Basildon, Essex, was arrested, beaten and tortured, and accused of throwing Molotov cocktails during an anti-capitalism protest in Greece in 2003.

London Indymedia and Dissident Island caught up with him at he 2010 Anarchist Bookfair to talk about his hunger strike during his time detained, his torture and beatings at the hands of the Greek police, and his long legal battle and appeals.

The London Thessaloniki Solidarity Group was formed in 2003 soon after the arrests at the EU summit demonstrations in Thessaloniki.
