The ‘Moria 6’ were convicted in two separate trials which were widely heralded as a ‘parody of justice’, with five of the 6 being convicted on the testimony of a single witness, who never appeared in court.
In the context of the upcoming appeal trial in Lesvos, on 6 March,
FA/Forensis were commissioned by the lawyers to reconstruct the fire and
cross-examine the key witness statement. The investigation, which will
be launched in the press conference, reveals severe inconsistencies in
the witness testimony and casts further doubt over the evidence upon
which the judgement of the young asylum seekers was based.
In this press conference the FA/Forensis researchers will discuss the
upcoming trial with the legal team representing the defendants.
Also the ‘Moria Trial Watch’, a new observatory which will publish a
live feed of the proceedings, an initiative by Solomon and omniatv,
supported by Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung – Οffice in Greece and State of
Concept Athens will be presented.
