Athens, Taking responsibility for the paint attack on the offices of New Democracy political party in Koukaki area, by Anarchists
In October 2022, within the framework of the zero tolerance doctrine, the new prison code is passed, which among other things makes the granting of leave and the conditional release of prisoners even more difficult and essentially restores the C-type prisons with the “maximum security prisons”. In response to this treaty, on 28 October, mobilisations by prisoners in prisons throughout the country began. The State, in an attempt to intimidate those who are struggling, reacts vindictively, targeting some of them in their cells with threats and bullshit.
Hence, at dawn on Monday 19/12 the kidnapping of the political prisoner for participation in the organization Anarchist Action, Thanos Chatzianggelou, and his transfer from his cell in Korydallos to the prison of Nigrita Serres. On 22/12, the transfer of comrade K. Dimalexis to the prison of Trikala was carried out In the same way.
On the same night as his abduction, comrade Th. Chatzianggelou starts a hunger and thirst strike demanding the disclosure of the reason for his transfer and his return to Korydallos. The comrade’s health is now in a very critical condition and he is in danger of suffering kidney failure or cardiac arrest. In an attempt to discredit his struggle, a prosecutor’s verbal proposal is made to force-feed the striker, a practice that constitutes torture and endangers his health. In solidarity, prisoners G. MichailidIs, F. Tziotzis, I. Rodopoulos, L. Vougiouklakis and F. Daskalas go on symbolic or non-symbolic hunger strikes, putting their bodies on the line.
As a minimal sign of solidarity with comrade Th. Chatzianggelou and the rest of the strikers, on 27/12/22 we chose to attack by breaking the facade and throwing paint at the offices of the New Democracy political party in Koukaki, which as government is applying the doctrine of zero tolerance, at least against those who do not enjoy its favours.
