Figure 12: The outside of the Elliniko detention facility for women Five days later, on 5th November, the police announced to her that she would be released. Instead, she was transferred to a basement at the Petrou Ralli detention facility. When she was taken to the airport to be deported, she resisted. With handcuffs on, she was beaten, her hair was pulled while a police officer was holding her mouth shut. She was taken back to Petrou Ralli, where a criminal case was built against her for disobedience and destroying police property. According to one of her lawyers, she had allegedly caused some damage to the police car she was transferred with. When the collective found out, they started looking for her and they were sent from one police station to another. They, together with a solidarian lawyer, finally tracked her in Petrou Ralli. ‘They staged the case against her’, the lawyer told me. ‘I was threatened that I wouldn’t be able to be a lawyer again if I pursued this case’ (Interview, Athens, 2018). On 6th November she was taken back to the Elliniko facility. Another struggle had begun. The police refused the collective to bring food to women from the outside in a move to turn them against Sanaa. They often ‘forgot’ to give her the pills she needed and threatened to transfer her to a ‘big prison’, cultivating a climate of fear amongst the detainees. Women were so afraid that they often refused to speak to solidarians visiting them. Sanaa was effectively isolated from the rest of the group. While her court date was approaching, 136 she was vindictively detained for another six months, totaling almost a year inside the 136 Her case was adjourned four times. 193
