From Paris to Athens from the depths of our hearts. (France)

On the 31th of October, a bomb exploded in an apartment in Athens, blowing the apartment up, killing our companion Kyriakos and injuring another companion, Marianna, who is now in hospital, out of danger. We wish to her that she will recover quickly and without after-effects. We are with her in thoughts. With Kyriakos the movement lost a companion and some lost a friend, a loved one.

But in its war, the State never allows a ceasefire : Kyriakos was hardly gone for a few hours when it started already to attack our mourning companions, unleashed its henchmen against the ones it already called “terrorists” and “guerilleros” as a reference to the guerillas of the 2000’. Many persons, M. among them, are thus targeted by a counter-terrorist investigation and prosecuted for 8 charges.

Get Alfredo out of 41 bis. Hands off the anarchist publications

GET ALFREDO OUT OF 41 BIS
HANDS OFF THE ANARCHIST PUBLICATIONS

The preliminary hearing in the Sibilla case, which led to a repressive operation in November 2021 mainly targeting the anarchist newspaper ‘Vetriolo’, is scheduled for 15th January, after the one dated 10th October was postponed. The Public Prosecutor’s Office of Perugia is demanding the indictment of 12 anarchists accused of 19 charges, almost all of which aggravated by the purpose of terrorism.

Over the last few months, there have been notifications of the opening of a procedure by which the Perugia Police Headquarters intends to issue a series of ‘expulsion orders’, justifying them on the grounds of the solidarity presence that took place in front of the court on 10th October. The preparation of such preventive measures – imposing the obligation to stay out of a given municipality for a minimum of six months and a maximum of four years – for a moment like that one, where what happened was what usually happens in all circumstances of this type without any particular turbulence (the hanging of banners, a leaflet, a few interventions, etc.), assumes a clear meaning: to drive away comrades, to prevent any manifestation of solidarity during the hearings against the accused and in particular Alfredo Cospito, who is imprisoned under the 41 bis regime in the Bancali prison in Sardinia and is one of the 12 accused in this case.

Revolutionary Prisoners News

Text by Pola Roupa in View of the Judicial Council in Chalkida on January 10, ’25 (Greece)

via: athens.indymedia

Translated to English by Nikos Maziotis and Pola Roupa

I was released on November 17, 2023, after 8.5 years of detention in prison for my participation in the Revolutionary Struggle.

Under the current legal framework for a twenty-year prison sentence like mine, I could have been released earlier if I had more wages. However, the large number of trials, my constant transfers from Eleonas prison to Korydallos prison and the repeated quarantines that I was forced to undergo due to the transfers (covid regime), were the reasons why I lost many months of wages, increasing the time I spent in closed prison. The judicial council that decided on my release did nothing more than refuse to place me in an exceptional situation and decide as it has been deciding for years for the many hundreds of other prisoners.

A few days after my release, a deputy prosecutor of appeals in Chalkida appealed the decision of the Thebes misdemeanor court by which I was released, asking to return me to prison. On January 10, 2024, I was tried by a judicial council in Chalkida on the basis of an appeal requesting my re-imprisonment.

31/10 OUR BLOOD THEIR PERSECUTIONS

Two months ago, on 31/10 at Arcadia Street in Ampelokipi,
a crack in time was created when anarchist comrade Kyriakos
Xymitiris loses his life after an explosion. Anarchist comrade
Marianna is seriously injured and a “witch hunt” starts so that
they meet the requirements to set up the charges based on
the 187A law.

Learning the news about the facts in Ampelokipi and considering
possible that the repressive – media mechanisms of the state would
attempt to connect me to the case through the keys of the
apartment on Arcadia Street which I handed over to the comrades some days earlier, I returned to Greece from abroad where I live the
last years. Returning on Monday 4/11, they waited for me at the
airport at the landing point 15-20 anti-terrorist police officers,
seized my personal belongings and afterwards they transferred me
to the 13th floor of GADA . Initially they announced to me
my admission which later turned into arrest based on a
inflated and without proof set of charges about setting up and
participating in terrorist organization, explosion and possession,
construction and supply of explosives. Interrogator Mrs. Georgia
Kioulepoglou with the public prosecutor after the interrogative proceedings decided, with non-existent proof, my imprisonment. Two days earlier with the same loose charges comrade Dimitris was also imprisoned.

Lecce , Italy : A reminiscence

Sometimes it is hard to write without running the risk of becoming rhetorical.

The death of Alfredo Bonanno has left what, precisely rhetorically, is referred to as an unbridgeable gap. A lack for many comrades – and they are hundreds – who, once they approached anarchism, drew vital lymph from his writings scattered in books, magazines and newspapers. Analytical writings to better understand the world and the evolution of domination, and to explore the way – one of the ways – in which to try to counter it. His analyses were lenses with which to look at things from another angle, and this way of looking at reality differently, of analysing it with another perspective is perhaps the thing that most fascinates about anarchism and will be most missed of Alfredo.

Whether it was one of his writings, a public discussion at an initiative or a conversation over a meal, he had the ability to stimulate that reflection that often led you to sit in silence and mull over what you had read or heard, taking you to reason differently, perceive other horizons.

Solidarity from Uruguay to Athens.en/es/de

via: kontrapolis.info/14629/

December 2024

We live in a world in which our existence is continuously threaten by the capitalist advances in all their expressions. Governments and businessman, mercenaries without scruples are responsible of keeping the status quo, while submitting all of us by means of state violence to a life of misery and resignation.Confronting such reality, those who rise up and resist head against this imposed reality, are turned immediately into terrorist.

This idea is sustained and reproduced thanks to the unconditional support of the dis-information media, which fulfills very well their role of deforming opinion. Nothing further from reality than the headlines of the local yellow press.

Who decides to attack?

There is no such things as a savior complex in those who decide to fight. It is rather a personal decision that keeps coherence with the chosen path in life. Tireless and stubborn, us who chose this way are the undesirable reflex of a society that thinks of it self in terms of the oppressor. Therefore, we will always be on the side of those who rise up, face the oppressor and attack. Making clear that these are not invulnerable monsters.

Thursday, October 10…

On that mid-day a group of masked people left from inside the University of Santiago to block traffic in the context of the first month since the assassination of the comrade Alonso Verdejo (Risue). He was assassinated in the last pilgriage by a cowardly attack of a fascist counter-march. Through this we also show solidarity with the 532 years of resistance of the Mapuche people-nation.
