Pola Roupa granted conditional release
Pola Roupa, a convicted member of the Revolutionary Struggle terrorist group, was released from prison on Friday.
Reports said Roupa, now 54, was granted conditional release on the grounds that she is the mother of an underage child.
In April 2021, a court reduced her sentence for the bombing attack on the Bank of Greece in 2014, claimed by Revolutionary Struggle. Specifically, her sentence was amended from life imprisonment and 25 years to six years and three months.
Roupa was arrested in 2017 after being on the run since 2014 and was involved in numerous attacks by Revolutionary Struggle.
She is the partner of Nikos Maziotis, who is in jail for attacks claimed by the group, including a car bomb that damaged the Athens Stock Exchange in 2009.
Revolutionary Struggle carried out numerous armed attacks, starting in 2003, including one on the US Embassy in Athens in 2007.
