Michalis Tolis

Michalis Tolis, a conscientious objector on ideological grounds and an active member of the Greek antimilitaristic movement, declared his total objection, along with three other conscientious objectors, on 19th September 2011.

Their declaration concludes with the words: "We refuse to man this murderous machine which exists for preserving your interests inside and outside the field called Greek state. We refuse to be the meat for your bombshells. We refuse to become the numbers for the geostrategic shares during treaties signed for "peace" or "war". We refuse to serve the brutality and further brutalization of this world, either with the growing militarization of everyday's life, during times of "peace", or with our participation in campaigns, ethnic cleansings, genocides, rapes, destructions and murders during times of "war"."
