Pavlos Bakoyannis

Pavlos Bakoyannis (Greek:Παύλος Bαρδινογιάννης) (died September 26, 1989) was a liberal Greek politician who was well known for his broadcasts against the Greek military dictatorship of 1967-1974 through the Deutsche Welle radio. He was shot down and killed in the front entrance to his house in 1989 by members of the radical marxist terrorist group "November 17" (N17). In 2002, following the arrestations of various members of N17, three of them allegedly confessed in participating in the murder of Bakoyannis.

Bakoyannis was a member of the New Democracy party, for which, at the time of his murder, he was parliamentary leader in the Hellenic Parliament.

Pavlos Bakoyannis was married to Dora Bakoyannis, daughter of Constantine Mitsotakis. After the Pavlos murder, she passed a law prohibiting the publication of terrorist groups' post-attack manifestos in the Greek newspapers. Dora Bakoyannis has since claimed that the bill was a mistake, and did not attempt to re-establish it after its repeal in 1993.
