Alexandros Giotopoulos, the convicted leader of a far-left Greek militant group, was returned to prison on June 16 after Greece’s Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling that had granted him conditional release.

The 82-year-old Giotopoulos was released from Athens’ Korydallos Prison on May 21 after serving roughly 24 years behind bars.
