Update on trial of women living with HIV in Greece.

An important trial for 11 of the women in my documentary Ruins / Ερείπιαis on March 28. That means that 11 women, drug users who were taken from the streets, forcibly tested for HIV in police stations and then exposed on the internet and on TV by mainstream journalists, will face the Greek courts on a charge of prostitution and grievous bodily harm even though no one ever accused them of transmission or exposure to HIV.

No one among the police, doctors, politicians and journalists responsible for this abomination has been punished. 

If you've thought of donating to their legal fund before, now is the time! Here is the donation page (so far only just of 500 Euros has been raised) : http://ruins-documentary.com/en/donate/ 

You can watch the documentary here: http://ruins-documentary.com/en/#
