Dimitris Kaisis Greek journalism Thessaloniki Polytechnic uprising ESHEM-TH Greek military junta

Dimitris Kaisis, a prominent Greek journalist and political activist, has passed away at the age of 89. Born in Thessaloniki in 1937, Kaisis was a significant figure in the city's journalistic history and a notable voice of political resistance.

Throughout his career, Kaisis worked for several major media outlets, including Macedonia, To Vima, Eleftherotypia, and Radio Paratiritis. He also contributed to the magazine Anti.

Kaisis is particularly remembered for his role during the November 1973 Thessaloniki Polytechnic uprising. While covering the events for To Vima, he was arrested by the military junta for allegedly inciting students. He was subsequently detained in the Eptapyrgio (Genti Koule) and Metadogeon prisons, facing potential trial by military court.

The Union of Journalists of Macedonia-Thrace (ESHEM-TH) expressed deep sadness over his passing, noting his commitment to his professional ethics and his critical stance against corruption and authority. His funeral is set to take place on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 10:00 at the Holy Church of the Metamorphosis of the Savior.
