Letter in a Bottle: From a Greek Prison
The author was unanimously elected to the Chair of Penal Law at Athens University at the age of forty-six in 1969. The Greek junta vetoed his appointment, and he was arrested in July, 1969, tortured, and tried the next year on charges of plotting to overthrow the regime and the existing “social order.”Professor Mangakis was sentenced to eighteen years’ imprisonment, and he remains in jail. His wife was also jailed for eleven months, charged with falsely telling foreign newspaper correspondents that her husband was being brutally tortured. She was later released.
