Vasilis Tsiartas, a Greek former football player of AEK Athens F.C. and the Greek national team, was sentenced by the Single-Member Misdemeanor Court of Athens to ten months in prison. He also received a five thousand euro suspended fine for his transphobic post on social media in 2017.
The Transgender Support Association (SYD) describes the conviction of Vassilis Tsiartas, the first for public incitement to violence or hatred for reasons of gender identity, as “particularly important for the transgender community.”
SYD also points out that an application for just satisfaction will follow due to exceeding the reasonable duration of the trial, as more than five years have elapsed from the initial filing of the lawsuit.

Prison time for thought crimes. We’ve arrived, folks.
Here is what he said:
He had posted that he hoped that “the first sex changes are carried out on the children of those who ratified this abomination.”
“Legitimize pedophiles, too, to complete the crimes,” he added.
In a second post, a few hours later, he had commented: “God created Adam and Eve.”
He is being imprisoned for public incitement to violence or hatred for reasons of gender identity.
Insanity. 🤡🌎
That is exactly what this is.
The land of Socrates has become the land of Orwell.
His nickname as a player was El Mago, because of his powerful kicking style.
He plans to appeal this ridiculous sentence. If terms of the conviction hold, he might want to escape from Greece before being “tin-canned” over expressing an opinion.
The first democracy in the world has become subservient to political correctness.
How do they separate the men from the boys in Greece? With a crowbar.
God’s Judgement is falling upon many nations-
And it will get MUCH worse...
It is so amazing that our 1700s forefathers understood the terrible limitations of democracy from studying Greek and Roman history and those alive today don’t understand the lessons at all.
Socrates died for a “thought crime” too.
The insane and perverted should not be allowed to stand in judgment over the sane and normal.
Never participate in the crazy of the trans crowd. Do not agree with their preferred pronouns. Do not tolerate them.
TEN MONTHS....???!!!
The whole Trans thingy and teaching and encouraging it in schools is nothing more than recruiting and conditioning children for sex, so they can be used by adults for sex. Its called pedophilia.
Greeks censoring the truth about LGBT are no doubt complaining about Putin’s censorship of LGBT lies.
Humanism is the new state religion.
We now see the state enforcing religious orthodoxy on the population.
What better way to show the masses that public displays of heresy will not be tolerated than to persecute a hero of the people who dared to speak out.
The First Amendment will not protect us in the US either.
We may win on appeal but the process is the punishment.
You may emerge victorious in court but you will be penniless and emotionally exhausted.
This what is coming here folks!
Thought CRIME!
No Freedom of SPEECH!
The push back will be ugly.......................
He should claim that he’s Muslim.
Being able to put people in prison for their thoughts doesn’t make you right, it makes you a fascist.
That’s because they don’t want to leave their brothers behind
