The dean (rector) takes the initiative to cut off the power supply to “Radio Entasi”. At the same time, the internet connection for both Athens Indymedia and Radiozones of Subversive Expression is interrupted despite the fact that the Radiozones broadcast at 93.8fm, a frequency totally separated to the case file. How the lost court case on radio emissions has developed into the silencing of all online counter-information media based on the NTUA campus remains unknown. Instead of any prosecuting motion by a district attorney, the dean of NTUA, Simos Simopoulos, used the maneuver of an internal rule of NTUA which requires all internet provisions (IP) to correspond to named individuals, so that he could ban the internet provision. Naming individuals for the station’s or indymedia’s server, which are self-organized and non person-centered ventures, would lead to state prosecution or fascist and parastate attacks against those individuals. Meanwhile, the student union of the Chemical Engineers faculty undertook the responsibility for these ventures six months ago, stating by signature the union’s name for these internet provisions alongside other political groups. The related document was conveniently declared lost or inexistent.
