Dozens of comrades joined the second day of the gatherings taking place at the courts of the courts of Evelpidon on the occasion of the supplementary investigative procedure for those prosecuted in the Ampelokipi case. Shortly before 9am, EOM(Special Suppressive Antiterrorist Unit )transport transported comrade Dimitra Zarafeta and comrade Dimitris to the interrogator in building 9.

Anarchist comrade Dimitra submitted a memorandum with her positions and spoke about the fabricated indictment and answering a clarifying question from the interrogator about some of the findings of the anti-terrorist investigation.

Comrade Dimitris then submitted his own memorandum that deconstructed the flawed indictment and also answered a clarifying question from the interrogator.

According to information they each received from the investigator, the case file is expected to be closed in the near future as they do not have to wait for any other evidence.

The process ended shortly after 12.30, when the comrades gathered approached the two comrades and, shouting slogans, accompanied them to the transporter cage.

We will be back again tomorrow, Thursday 25/09 at 8:30 when the supplementary interrogation process will continue with the anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos and A.K.

Portland Anarchist Zine Fair

WHILE MISERY EXISTS, WE CHOOSE REBELLION

Everyone who has lived here knows that there are two Portlands: the Portland of the wealthy elite and their yuppie lackeys and the Portland of the poor, of the rabble. The architects of this misery are trying to ease the tension building on the fault line between these two cities using political games, counter-cultural branding, rainbow washing, and welfare “services” that amount to breadcrumbs laid in a mouse trap.

Their vision for the city and larger region is crystal clear: they intend to transform the Columbia River valley into a new Silicon Valley, using the forests and rivers to power its factories and Portland as the playground for the influx of tech workers that is already very much underway. Portland lies at a critical crossroads not only of these plans for the region, but also of the larger designs of domination for its ongoing wars against life itself. Oregon’s existing “semiconductor cluster” produces microchips that are the heartless core of the machine that spreads war across the earth, that deports and imprisons according to a logic of profit and control, that ruthlessly exploits those who manage to evade outright capture. And they’re being made right here.

Position of prisoner Giannis Karatsolis from malandrinou prison ( fokidas , Central Greece)

After more than 2 years’ confinement, the time has come for me to take a stand. In fact, the need to publish this text arose from the first moment of my arrest, however, personal reasons from the nature of the initial charges that weighed on me to confinement itself, have been an obstacle.

My arrest took place on 18/01/23 after a police raid on my home, as well as the homes of 6 other people with whom I had exclusively friendly/social relations. In an attempt to build and inflate the conspiracy against us, unrelated things were thrown together, with the aim of charging us with forming a criminal organization, a charge that – although ultimately dropped along with many others – was necessary for the authorities to secure our pretrial detention, but also to create impressions of an alleged great success of the ELAS ( greek police).

During the search that took place at my home on the day of my arrest, the following were found and confiscated: 2 wigs, books, brochures of the anarchist/anti-authoritarian space and other personal items such as clothes, shampoo, etc. Obviously the above were not sufficient to detain me and then a series of methods began, starting with the dictated identifications that the Patras Security Service secured in order to carry out its job.

Hamburg (Germany): Sabotage of port freight traffic

Sabotage warmongering and rearmament! “Whatever the cost.”

On the night of August 7-8, 2025, we sabotaged a freight railway line in the port of Hamburg, south of Wilhelmsburg. We deliberately chose this section because we did not want to impact rail passengers, who are already struggling, but rather the arms industry and warmongers.

The port of Hamburg is an important transshipment hub for military equipment. Tons of weapons, ammunition, military equipment, and components leave there every day.

Much of this military equipment is produced in Hamburg. Various Hamburg-based companies manufacture weapons themselves or knowingly supply specific components, whether optical, electronic, or mechanical. Those who profit from war supply both the Bundeswehr [German army] and the armed forces of other countries.

Important Information from Indonesia for International Comrades.

Indonesia, September 18, 2025, by XIII-XII.

After the mass action that took place at the end of August and early
September, a wave of mass arrests followed, with thousands of people being detained across various cities in Indonesia — both post-action arrests and sweeps from those already arrested. Even now, various anti-authoritarian groups in Indonesia are experiencing widespread paranoia, which is understandable for some people due to the state’s cyber operations aimed at mapping both formal and informal anti-authoritarian cells. Several collective and individual names have already been collected, which only adds to the paranoid climate that continues to persist.

Some refer to this as “going underground,” or even as an individual safety method, to later continue efforts for solidarity with comrades who have been designated as suspects.

Potsdam (Germany): no television, no telephone, no internet

From switchoff, August 7, 2025 (excerpt)

No television, no telephone, no internet. Since Thursday morning, August 7, thousands of Vodafone customers in the city of Potsdam [in the suburbs of Berlin] have been without these services. The reason: arson!

At around 8 a.m., the police received an emergency call: a fire was raging near the Nuthebrücke bridge on Friedrich-Engels Street in Potsdam. Flames were shooting out of a cable shaft. Since then, four Vodafone relay antennas have been out of service. 6,422 of the company’s cable customers can no longer access the internet at home, make phone calls, or watch television.

(Greece) 1 year after the loss of Kyriakos

Almost 12 months have passed since 31/10/2024. Therefore, the Solidarity Assembly for fugitives, persecuted and imprisoned fighters, in Athens, Greece, is considering to organize two days of action and in memory of our comrade.

During our first discussions around the topic, and while in contact with comrade Mariana Manoura, we came up with the idea of an event (Thursday 30th October) about other comrades who have lost their lives in similar ways during the past, hopefully with the participation of comrades from other countries with similar experiences.

We aim for these two days to end with a demo (Friday 31st October) in memory of the armed fighter Kyriakos Ximitiris. Continue reading (Greece) 1 year after the loss of Kyriakos →

We block everything! 10/9, France | A short update on the September 10th protests in Paris and France by Anarchist comrades

We block everything! September 10, France

A short update on the September 10th protests in Paris and France.

Since dawn in dozens of cities in France, the “Block Everything” movement began with the aim of closing the highways around the cities and blocking traffic. In some areas, this was achieved by completely closing roads, highways, and even entire cities, while in Paris, an attempt was made to block the ring road that separates Paris from the suburbs. The cops were ready with 80,000 of them throughout the country. From 6 am, the roadblocks, the blocking of stores/companies/supermarkets such as Carrefour (also targeted in solidarity with Palestine), train stations and high schools, in hundreds of places, began. The cops’ order was to immediately intervene in the blocking points, with beatings and arrests (over 500 arrests in the whole country).

Of course, the forces of repression in many of the points found themselves disorganized and surprised by the movement, as they found resistance and counterattacks. Many of the blockades lasted for hours, even the whole day, while others were quickly dispersed, however, turning the “retreat” into spontaneous marches and alternative targets. People stayed on the streets from dawn until night, disrupting normality by any means, from fanfare to clashes. Some interesting actions were:

Solidarity with the rebels in Indonesia by Anarchist collective Acte (Athens,Greece)

 Solidarity with the rebels in Indonesia

During the summer, mass protests took place in various parts of Indonesia against new austerity measures, tax increases and salary increases for members of parliament, whose salaries are 30 times higher than the minimum wage.

On August 28, during a protest rally, an armoured police vehicle runs over 21-year-old Affan Kurniawan, killing him. Affan worked as a delivery boy and was on his way to deliver food. After that, an unprecedented uprising broke out across the country. Police stations were destroyed, local parliaments and government buildings were burned, and politicians’ homes were looted. To buy time, the state declared that it would reduce the privileges of the political elite while at the same time intensifying repression and bringing the army on to the streets. So far, there have been 10 dead, dozens missing, hundreds injured, and thousands arrested. Despite government promises and repression, the flame of the uprising does not seem to be extinguished.

October is a month of remembrance and action for the anarchist revolutionary Kyriakos Xymitiris by Dimitra Zarafeta, Marianna Manoura (Grrece)

As long as there are those who are lost in battle, we will exist to continue the war

And when we die, we die like stars scattering light. Like that light that shone a year before the explosives explosion in the Ampelokipi apartment on 10/31, when the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris was walking the last part of his journey, where everything is condensed into a moment, where his revolutionary consciousness aligns with the desire to put an end to this aging world that feeds on his flesh.

Filled with immense comradeship, determination and with no inclination to retreat, he committed himself to the struggle with a vision of freedom. With clear eyes, comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris made no concessions to emotion, he loved life, honouring it with every breath he took. Both in Berlin and in Athens, he participated in all the fields of struggle indiscriminately. In rallies and marches against gentrification, in anti-fascist and anti-patriarchal patrols, in mass poster pastings, in militant defences of occupations, in struggles against colonialism and prisons.

southwestern France, Luzenac (Ariège): Sabotage of the world’s largest talc quarry

Luzenac: has a criminal act targeted the talc quarry?
La Dépêche du Midi, June 5, 2025

Has the Trimouns quarry, one of the world’s largest talc operations, been the target of an act of vandalism? Situated at an altitude of over 1,500 meters, this strategic site alone accounts for almost 10% of the world’s production, with 400,000 tons extracted every year. A fire of suspicious origin recently damaged essential installations, without however interrupting operations.

At around 5 a.m. on Monday May 12, teams from Imerys, the multinational in charge of operations, discovered the damage. The installations upstream of the cable car had been hit by a fire, causing extensive material damage. “Initial observations reveal that the conveyor belts and electrical system have been severely damaged,” confirms a company spokesperson. No casualties were reported, but according to several sources, the cost of repairs would exceed half a million euros. The group declined to comment on this estimate.
