Vandalism of the home of M.D. Nioutsikou, former administrator of the Elaionas migrant concentration camp
WHO IS SHE?
Maria-Dimetra Nioutsikou was appointed as the temporary administrator of the Elaionas immigration camp in order to carry out the plans of the Municipality of Athens for the closure of the camp and its conversion into a new stadium for Panathinaikos (Greek football club). This means displacing thousands of people outside the city and imprisoning them in concentration camps in the middle of nowhere. The choice of Nioutsikou to carry out Bakoyannis’ (Kostas Bakoyannis – Mayor of Athens) violent plans was no accident as she has a rich resume of repression and crushing the lives of immigrants and migrants. We do not forget when, as the administrator of the Samos camp, she tortured and psychologically and physically abused minor children who had participated in protests about the conditions in the hellhole, leading some of them to commit suicide. She also used the tactic of psychological torture in the Elaionas camp where she used documents to blackmail the migrants fighting against the eviction.
For us there are no good or bad commander of the modern concentration camps; all those who take up such positions implement the racist murderous policy of the Greek state. In the case of Elaionas, a series of informers from Nioutsikou to every last security guard of the camp, orchestrated the violent eviction. We do not forget the case of Wares Ali, who burnt to death because his security guards refused an emergency hospital transfer.
For us, every death in modern concentration camps is the result and responsibility of the Greek state and its snitch henchmen. That is why we chose, on Monday night 5/12, as a minimal symbolic gesture, to vandalize the facade of the entrance to the building where Nioutsikou lives by painting slogans denouncing her as a murderer. Our intervention is nothing more than a symbolic gesture to show that we do not and will not forget those whose careers are stained with the blood of immigrants, and to send a signal of solidarity to the struggling immigrants.
STRENGTH TO EVERY MIGRANT WHO RESISTS THE WAR ON IMMIGRANTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BORDERS
FIRE TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND TO EVERY PRISON
