Berlin (Germany): With a smile on our faces – Covivo office hit with hammers
de.indymedia.org / Sunday 17 October 2021
Last Friday night was probably one of the best nights of the year. While earlier the eviction of the Köpi-Wagenplatz by a huge amount of cops had caused a feeling of helplessness, the night was quite the opposite.
Several thousand people took to the streets of Kreuzberg and expressed their anger in a self-determined way. Everything went well; the cops couldn’t get their lines in place, wild demonstrations broke out on all sides, the cops and their cars were overwhelmed, property managers, trendy cafes and hotels took their toll.

Barcelona, Spain : Banner denouncing the state murder of Nikos Sambanis by DIAS bike cops scum in Perama, Attica on 22/10/21, at the tattoo circus in Barcelona
30/10/21
October 29 marked one week from the night when three different groups of DIAS cops on bikes chased then shot more than 35 bullets at some people inside a car that did not stop at a “signal”. The chase ended in Perama where bullets from 7 different service weapons wounded one and killed another of the guys in the car. 7 cops shooting at three unarmed minors in cold blood. Nikos Sabanis, 18 years old, was killed by state fire. In their declarations they identify the suspects as Roma and inform the centre that they have no wounded. The nation is informed that 6 police officers are in hospital and of course that they had no intention to kill or knowledge of the suspects’ identity. The infamous Kougias solicitor takes on the killers and the interrogator decides that it is not necessary to keep them in custody.
We are still watching the same play 13 years after the murder of Alexis Grigoropoulos by cops Korkoneas – Saraliotis who continue to walk in our midst. In fact, the state apparatus and the fascists of the far-right are trying to increase our consumability and strengthen their media narrative. Killing by cops in Athens like their counterparts in America and the statements by ruling fascists about defence from the side of the killers are signs of the times and as such we take note of them.
We for our part, the oppressed, exploited, struggling, rebellious must take action while capital, states and fascists are arming themselves. As a minimal gesture to denounce this state murder in Greece we put up a banner on the opening day of the tattoo circus in Barcelona. This event is organized to provide material support for political prisoners and to strengthen the solidarity movement.
WE DO NOT FORGET OUR DEAD, WE DO NOT FORGIVE THOSE RESPONSIBLE
WHOEVER FORGETS THE PRISONERS OF THE STRUGGLE FORGETS THE STRUGGLE ITSELF
COPS, T.V., NEO-NAZIS, ALL THE BASTARDS WORK TOGETHER.
Gypsies – Choriyuri

EN/IT : Call for International solidarity through subversive action around COP26 ( Glasgow, Scotland)
received by email:
Who are we?
We are a group of friends, comrades and accomplices who are organising in various capacities in Glasgow, Scotland.
On COP26
Between the 31st of October and the 12th of November, representatives of state and capital are going to descend upon Glasgow in the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference(COP26). If we look at previous and historical UN attempts to “tackle” climate change, all we can find is three decades of inaction and greenwashing. There is no evidence that COP26 will be any different; in fact, this conference seems to be reaching new heights of hypocrisy, smugness and arrogance.
EN/IT: Athens,Greece: What happen in Perama area,on Saturday 23/10/21
In the early hours of Saturday 23/10/21, 7 bike cops were chasing a car they thought was stolen. In it were three young guys, which the cops recognized as roma. A bit later, there were 38 fire-shots, aimed not at the tires of the car (in their supposed attempt to stop it), but higher; in a clear attempt to injure/murder the passengers of the car. All shots were fired by the cops. The three young guys were unarmed. Nikos Sampanis, the 18-year-old co-driver was instantly killed, as he was hit with 2 bullets on the chest. A 16-year-old is injured and still in hospital and the 14-year-old driver ran away amidst gunfire. The cops were initially arrested and were charged with the felony of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter.
A few minutes after their *arrest*, Spyridon Georgiadis, Minister for Development and Investment, tweeted his congratulations to the murderous cops. The Citizen Protection Minister, Takis Theodorikakos, paid them a visit in jail. For “symbolic reasons” as he stated.

Solidarity with the four persecuted comrades for the eviction of Gare (Athens,Greece)
On September 29, the trial against two comrades from Berlin and two comrades from Athens will take place in Evelpidon Court in Athens. On November 26, 2017 the four persons were arrested during the eviction of Gare Squat, in the Athens district of Exarcheia. Among other charges, they are accused of trespassing, attempted serious bodily harm, refusal of forensic identification and possession of explosive materials and explosive bombs. This eviction was the first of three upcomings in which the four comrades were detained for 4 days. They were released on conditions or bail and now, almost four years later, have to appear in court. Almost one month after the arrest of the anarchist revolutionary Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis, who was for 1.5 years undeground, accused for being a member of the guerrila group “Revolutionary Selfdefense” and one of the four arrested during the eviction of Gare on November 2017.
Gare was a squatted house in Exarhia area, in the center of Athens. For many years was a living space actively going against private property and the establishment of a house as a commodity.Trying to promote a communal way of life in which terms like private were always questionable.
