Romanos I Lekapenos

Self-proclaimed anarchist Nikos Romanos, arrested on Monday in connection with the October 31 explosion at an apartment in the central Athens neighborhood of Ambelokipi, is set to appear before a prosecutor on Friday. Romanos is expected to deny any involvement in the case.

The jailed anarchist and robber Nikos Romanos is expected to be freed in due course after a five-member criminal appeals court on Monday reduced his initial sentence, following a recent Supreme Court decision recognizing his good behavior behind bars.

The father of hunger striker Nikos Romanos is due to meet Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.

Romanos, 21, is entering the 28th day of his hunger strike, demanding prison furloughs so he can study at Athens Technical College. A court recently rejected his application.
