Biography

Panagioti Tsolkas is an environmental organizer associated with Everglades Earth First! and the Palm Beach County Environmental Coalition. His accounts document jail time during the 1999 WTO protests and following a Florida power-plant blockade.

Calculated release date for the stay beginning February 2, 2009: February 15, 2009, adding the recorded completed custody duration of 13 days with elapsed-calendar-day counting. This is a calculated date from the recorded admission and duration, not a separately documented physical-discharge date.

Birth-year source

The Palm Beach County Environmental Coalition’s February 2009 archive identifies the power-plant blockade arrests as February 18, 2008, the trial convictions as December 2008, and Judge Laura Johnson as the sentencing judge. Tsolkas’s first-person letter also names State Attorney Danielle Croke and reports thirteen days actually served before appellate bond, against a sixty-day sentence. A separate archive caption identifies Tsolkas as arrested during a rooftop protest in downtown West Palm Beach against Callery-Judge and FPL development; its date and custody duration are not established.
