Since May 23, anarchist Giannis Michailidis, who is in preventive detention in Maladrinos Prison, has been on hunger strike to demand his immediate release. He has served 3/5 of his 20 year sentence and 2/5 of his sentence for escape from prison. As scheduled, the prison authorities have asked him to sign his application for conditional release on December 29, 2021. Giannis Michailidis is now demanding his right to be released from prison through the hunger strike.

Giannis Michailidis was among others involved in demos against the Iraq war, anti-capitalist demos of the anti-globalization movement 2004 -2006, in the student struggles against the privatization of the universities in 2006 -2007, actions against the plundering of nature in 2007. He was also significantly involved in the December Uprising in 2008, after the 16-year-old anarchist Alexandros Grigoropoulos was murdered in cold blood by police in the Exarchia area on December 6, and fought in 2012 during the so-called “crisis” in Greece against the capitalist memorandum and austerity dictate of the Troika ECB, EU and IMF, in which Germany played a leading role.

Call from Berlin: “As individuals we join the international call to action in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker G. Michailidis. We consider it necessary to support revolutionaries who oppose state repression with an active stance, even from distant areas. Here in Berlin we hope for an expression of the need not only to support the struggle on Greek territory but also to strengthen the deep ties that all militants around the world should feel for each other and that belong to a revolutionary practice. We call on everyone to make the struggle of G. Michailidis their own and to spread his words and to find their own words and actions as an expression of solidarity. We also call for a rally on Friday 6/24/22 at Kottbusser Tor in Kreuzberg to publicly show solidarity and inform about the comrade, who is just about to enter the critical phase of the hunger strike, which he will persevere.”
