ENGLISH (QUICK READ)

A Greek Court has recently decided to force the withdrawal from the National School Library system of the National Award novel, "Zig-Zag Through the Bitter Orange Trees" by Ersi Sotiropoulos, as the result of a lawsuit initiated by the extreme-right politician K. Plevris against the Greek Ministry of Education. The court's decision, based on the judge's opinion that the book "contains passages clearly pornographic and vulgar," is a monument of extreme conservatism, and is viewed by Greek intellectuals as an unprecedented attack on reason, freedom of speech and the independence of artistic creation and education.

"The "(de)kata Society" denounces the interference of the Greek courts leading to the withdrawal from the National School Library system of the National Award novel, "Zig-Zag Through the Bitter Orange Trees" by Ersi Sotiropoulos, as an act of interference in the literary process and the educational system and as an act of censorship. The Society demands that the Ministry of Education use every legal means to block the enforcement of this unprecedented judicial decision in order to ensure the protection of freedom of expression and the sanctity of the arts and education. With this act, the justice system, by criminalising the art of writing, is throwing us back to the Middle Ages. Athens, 17 April 2008 (Signed by 19 members of the society)
