The terror group "Revolutionaries' Sect" claimed responsibility for the murder last week of journalist Socrates Giolias in a proclamation sent to the Athens-based daily newspaper "Ta Nea" on Tuesday.

The proclamation, published in full by the paper on Wednesday, refers to the reasons why the group targeted Giolias and is extremely disparaging of several high-profile Greek television journalists and editors, including Themos Anastasiades, Makis Triantafyllopoulos, Nikos Hatzinikolaou, Petros Kostopoulos, George Kouris and Dimitris Kontominas.ANA-MPA

The proclamation also contains threats against the police force, public prosecutors, prison guards and prison governors, as well as prison social workers.

The location of the proclamation was given to journalists at "Ta Nea" at 14:30 on Tuesday afternoon by an unidentified caller. Two journalists following up the call found a CD at the location indicated, which contained a seven-page proclamation on the Giolias killing.
