Athens, Greece: By lighting an improvised incendiary device

 By lighting an improvised incendiary device

The anarchist comrade Giannis Mihailidis already served 3/5 of his sentence 7 months ago. He has completed more than two months on hunger strike demanding his release. His health is in poor condition with the possibility of permanent damage almost inevitable. The judicial authorities consider that the period of time (9 years) he has spent in prison is ultimately insufficient to rehabilitate him, basically accusing him of committing future crimes. The bourgeois justice system does not even try to hide its hypocrisy and contradictions, which are becoming more and more visible to an increasing area of society. During this same period, the judicial mechanisms have released from prison the child rapist Lignadis, the cop and murderer of A. Grigoropoulos, Korkoneas, the murderer of zack/zackie Horteria and the abuser Filippidis.

In recent months the impoverishment of the population is galloping at an even faster pace. The power/water cuts by the various utility companies, the extreme prices of basic goods in the super markets, evictions and gentrification compose a dystopian scene that is driving large parts of the world to impoverishment. At the same time, however, millions are given with frightening frequency by the state for armament programs to the army, cops and all kinds of repressive media.

For these reasons on 19 July we chose to attack a capitalist target by setting fire to the cars of the Peugeot dealership in New Chalcedon with an improvised incendiary device. This move is a reminder that no matter how much the state is armed, no matter how much those who have it hide behind advanced security systems, we, choosing the place and time, will always find ways to strike our targets, we will always find ways to break the silence imposed on us by the regime’s media, to spread our word and stand in practical solidarity with the comrades held in captivity by the state.

Solidarity to the political prisoner Giannis Michailidis
Solidarity with the imprisoned comrades.
Let’s extend our attacks in the metropolitan field.

Anarchists.
