Greece: Leftwing Terrorist jailed for 1300 years let out on a 48 hour pass.

(Athens) A leading member of N17, (A Greek leftwing  terrorist group) convicted of personally killing more than a dozen people, has been granted leave from prison.  Dimitris Koufodinas, 44, who was sentenced in2003 to more than 1,300 years in prison for orchestrating 13 political assassinations, hundreds of bomb attacks and bank robberies. His two-day leave from prison on Thursday under a parole board ruling has  triggered a storm of protest and expressions of regret from Britain ,United States and Greece.


Somewhat ironically another convicted member of N17, Christodoulos Xiros, absconded in 2014 whilst on parole. He was captured several months later whilst trying to blow up a section of the Korydallos prison and release his fellow terrorists. 

It seems that life in Greece doesn't mean life at all.
