Hambach Forest – banner for comrades Kyriakos & Marianna (Germany)

We were horrified to learn of the explosion on October 31, where Kyriakos X. died and Marianna M.. was seriously injured. Our hearts stand by the people who were close to them and who now have to deal with severe repression while grieving.

We are angry and disgusted by the actions of the Greek state, which immediately began to take advantage of this tragedy to attack the anarchists. The state’s efforts to isolate and silence our comrades and break the bonds between us will strengthen them and further spread the ideas and struggles of our comrades.

The desire to spread rebellious ideas rips like a wind, uncontrollable and unconceivable, beyond borders, laws and every attempt to intimidate us.

A seed of these ideas was carried from Athens to this forest and will be cultivated by all of us here as part of our struggle against domination and for the liberation of all living beings.

Strength for the long struggle ahead of us to Marianna, Dimitra, the other accused and to all those who are close to them, who care and fight alongside them.

Arson attack in Terrace BC (Canada)

On the morning September 26th four vehicles were severely damaged as well as buildings nearby in an arson attack in Terrace BC.

With a little investigation we realized the vehicles attacked belong to McElhanney a company with a large portfolio providing surveying, engineering, GIS & remote sensing, landscape architecture, environmental services across western Canada. Near Terrace, McElhanney is working on the controversial PRGT pipeline, which has seen resistance via occupations and blockades. Further south the company has used GIS data to help plan work for the controversial TMX pipeline.

Solidarity banner for the imprisoned comrade K.K.

On Thursday 7/11, comrade K.K. was arrested in the city of Messolonghi. His arrest took place on the occasion of the arson of a police vehicle, about a month earlier, outside the A.T. Messolonghi. The comrade is accused of arson, explosion, manufacture and possession of explosive materials as well as damage to foreign property, in the absence of evidence.

On Tuesday 12/11, when the comrade had been given a deadline to testify, imprisonment on remand was pronounced for him.

As a minimal sign of solidarity, a banner was hung in Klathmonos Square during the rally for the November 17 march.

NO ONE ALONE IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE
STRENGTH UNTIL FREEDOM COMRADE
SOLIDARITY IS OUR WEAPON

Hackney, London : Banner drop in memory of Kyriakos and in solidarity with the comrades from the Ampelokipoi case (UK)

From London to Athens Solidarity to the Political Prisoners Marianna, Dimitra, Dimitris, Hands Off Romanos, Fallen Anarchist Kyriakos Forever Alive

On November 18, comrade Nikos Romanos is also arrested in connection with the same events. Nikos Romanos held his friend and comrade Alexis Grigoropoulos in his arms as he took his final breath on December 6, 2008, assassinated by the bullet of a special state officer.

In the years that followed, the Greek anti-terrorist agency repeatedly targeted Nikos and other anarchists, imprisoning them with fabricated evidence in an effort to suppress the blooming anti-authoritarian social movements. Nikos Romanos spent years as a political prisoner, held hostage by the state, before being released in recent years.

NO ONE ALONE / NO ONE IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE

THE REBELLION OF THE EXPLOITED IS NEVER TERRORISM

Call for a solidarity gathering for the prosecuted comrade Nikos Romanos, on Thursday 21/11 at 19:00 at Syntagma Square, Athens-Greece

We invite the wider world of the struggle to respond to the call and join the struggle against state tactics.

On Monday 11/18 in the afternoon, the comrade Nikos Romanos was arrested outside his house. The reason was the – completely accidental – finding of a fingerprint on the outside of a bag in the apartment of Ampelokipi, which was flattened by the explosion.

The communicated as “successful” process of isolating a fingerprint, which refers to a known fighter, as well as the construction of an upgraded prosecution based on a mobile object of everyday and widespread use, cannot but be part of the long-term strategy of repressive mechanisms targeting fighters of the antagonist movement, confirming the “communicating vessels” narrative by catching suspects and condemned comrades from the famous “known and unknown tank” of the GADA archives.

[THESSALONIKI] Solidarity with the 17-year-old prisoner from Messolongi by Assembly (symboulio) of Anarchists

Solidarity with the 17-year-old prisoner from Messolonghi

Only those who risk the outbreak of a storm in the midst of a calm can understand the beauty of αντιβιας

At midnight on 11/10 as an act of revenge in honour of the countless victims murdered by the Greek police, an explosive device was placed in an investigative van in Messolonghi, resulting in the vehicle’s partial destruction. The next morning there is a crescendo of panic in the local media and its reach rapidly extends nationwide. Almost a month later, specifically on 7/11, the Greek police arrest a 17-year-old anarchist comrade as a suspect in this particular attack. News of his arrest was greeted with cheers by the Aetolian Police Officers Association crediting the local police for solving the case. The arrested person was immediately charged with arson, explosion, manufacture and possession of explosive materials as well as damage to foreign property.

After the search carried out in his home, the serious findings found and deemed incriminating for the “falsification” of the case file are posters, brochures, fliers and banners. Here too, it is worth pointing out that on 8/11, during his transfer to the courts of Messolonghi, a police operational show was set up, with the assistance of forces from all over the prefecture.

City of Volos,Thessaly: Actions of solidarity with N. Romanos (Greece)

Actions of solidarity with N. Romanos

On 18/11, the anti-terrorist police arrested N. Romanos on the grounds of a connection to the Ampelokipi case. His arrest was ordered due to a fingerprint found in a bag inside the apartment.

So there is “evidence” in an apartment that had been completely altered by the explosion, putting it at the centre of yet another state crackdown. After all, the state apparatus is accustomed to using various methods (e.g. DNA, anonymous phone calls, etc.) to implicate militants and insurgents in tales of “terrorism” and then imprison them, repeatedly showing its vindictiveness and its attempt to exterminate them.
