Savas Mihail Matsas (or Savas Michael Matsas or Savas Michael-Matsas;[1] Greek: Σάββας Μιχαήλ Μάτσας; born as Sabetai Benaki Matsas (Σαμπετάι Μπενάκη Μάτσας)[2] 1947, Athens) is a Greek Jewish intellectual, leader of the Workers Revolutionary Party (Greece). He is an antizionist and internationalist author of a considerable work of culture about literature, philosophy, religion and class struggle.

Political prosecution

In 2009, the far-right Golden Dawn party filed, before the Greek justice, many documents against several left-wing Greek authors. The police wanted to interrogate all of them, but they jointly agreed not to appear in court and jointly signed a document stating they legally rejected the accusations. After reviewing the documentation, two of them were brought to justice by the Attorney General: Savas Matsas and Constantin Motzouri, the former rector of the National Technical University of Athens. There was an international petition in his defence.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

On 4 September 2013, an Athens court acquitted Matsas and Moutzouris of all charges.[11][12][13]
