Following and supporting the activism of her mother she was obligated to acquire basic legal knowledge on local and international law, via self teaching and the methodology of scientific research as well as in vivo practice. |
|||
In this research she discovered the capacity for average Citizens to file complaints to the ICC at the Hague when these crimes are committed by the citizens’ governments and are large scale.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://humansupport.gr/en_icc.php |title=Human Support |publisher=Humansupport.gr |date= |accessdate=2012-09-22}}</ref> |
|||
In October 2011, with her mother they filed a complaint with the ICC,<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17811153</ref> against the [[George Papandreou|G. A. Papandreou]] governments, reporting with substantiation crimes against humanity and genocide during times of peace at the expense of the Greek People, becoming along with her mother the first Greek Citizens and European non-ranked citizens to file against the Memorandum and any related policy. |
|||
This action was received very positively and supported by the Greek People and the Greeks of the Diaspora, but was also fought against by the political circles in Greece.<ref>http://www.skai.gr/news/greece/article/201135/bbc-agogi-kata-tis-ellinikis-kuvernisis-sti-hagi-gia-ti-litotita-/</ref> |
|||
The result of this action was that the prosecutor at the ICC opened a permanent file for the gathering of additional evidence stating that when the evidence shows a full scale impact to the sum of the Greek People then the ICC will intervene, validating the admissibility of this move.<ref>http://crimesagainstgreeks.com/attachments/article/46/hague.pdf</ref> |
|||
Since, there have been two additional complaints to the ICC by other Greek Citizens.<ref>http://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2012/03/03/greek-citizen-appeals-to-icc-against-greeces-political-leadership-for-genocide/</ref><ref>http://justiceforgreece.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/%CE%BC%CE%B7%CE%BD%CF%8D%CF%83%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%82-%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%B1-%CE%AD%CF%83%CF%87%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%B7-%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%B4%CE%BF%CF%83%CE%AF%CE%B1-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9-%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%BB%CE%B5/</ref> |

Aside legal activism, she also is attempting to spread the modern Greek spirit and culture but to also revive and teach the up to now unknown and forgotten to the international public Greek modern history and especially the actions of the Greeks during WWII, via the creation of webcomics and accompanying informative articles. |
