Bicycle and Motorbikes demo Against Detention Centres

Bicycle and Motorbikes demo Against Detention Centres

On Saturday 22 November the Assembly Against Detention Centres organised a demonstration moving through the city towards the migrant prison, Allodapon, Petrou Ralli, in solidarty with the migrant struggle against detention centres and imprisonment.

Around 70 people gathered at the starting point in Plateia Amerikis with motos and bicycles. There, as well as in Plateia Viktoria and Plateia Agios Panteleimonas, where the demonstration stopped for some time along the route, we distributed texts and threw trikakia, against the presence of cops in our squares and neighborhoods, against the racist police operations.

(Greece) Português : O que dá sentido à vida dá sentido à morte Por Marianna Manoura

O que dá sentido à vida dá sentido à morte

No dia 31.10, no terceiro andar de um apartamento na Rua Arkadias (Atenas), durante o manuseamento de explosivos pelo meu camarada e guerrilheiro Kyriakos Xymitiris, ocorreu uma explosão com a trágica consequência da sua morte. Por alguns momentos, comigo na sala ao lado, o tempo parou, tudo ficou escuro e eu não conseguia mexer-me. A situação era incompreensível, o seu desenrolar inconcebível. Enterrada nos escombros, tentava perceber o que tinha acontecido; pedia ajuda, procurava o meu companheiro com os olhos. Lentamente, percebi que mesmo que a linha de ação do meu camarada fosse abruptamente interrompida, a sua vida e as suas escolhas na luta seriam um flash histórico de resistência determinada, consistência e dedicação; um trampolim e uma inspiração para novas lutas.

Duas figuras apareceram a oferecer ajuda enquanto eu lhes mostrava o local onde vi meu companheiro pela última vez, o local onde os nossos olhares comprometidos se encontraram, olhares cheios de raiva pelo mundo em que vivemos, cheios de fé e fome de momentos de verdadeira liberdade.

Book presentation-Discussion ” State Against Commune: Law, Revolutions and Political ”Crimes” through the Centuries” with comrade P. Roupa (Athens,Greece)

Sunday 14/12 at 18:00 at the self-managed Perasma hangout ( Z. Pigis 97 & Isavron, Exarcheia )

The book ” State Against Commune: Law, Revolutions and Political ”Crimes” through the Ages” is a historical and political study of the concept of “political crime”. It moves away from its narrow legal dimension and examines the phenomenon within the historical context of social struggles and revolutions. The book seeks the roots of political crime , starting from pre-state free societies (communes) and their natural law. It describes how the first state structures tried to impose their power over these communities, thus creating the first political “crimes” as well as the acts of resistance of these societies against the attempt to abolish their right to live freely and self-organized.

The route passes through important historical periods and events: the ancient Athenian democracy, Rome, the medieval free cities, the Peasants’ Revolt, the French revolutions, the Paris Commune and revolutionary movements in Greece. Through these events and always according to the social and political particularities of each country and each era, common causes and goals of revolutions emerge, which are linked to the search for equality, autonomy , social solidarity and justice.

Alexis Grigoropoulos — One of Us ( Athens exarcheia ,Greece )

ALEXIS GRIGOROPOULOS  – ONE OF US

 “…A bullet in Alexis’s heart to end the cycle of the state machine’s omnipotence. A smear of blood on the pedestrian street of Messolonghiou to initiate the cycle of uprising that wrecked the legal order and spread chaos and anarchy in all the cities of Greece… Alexis is now an integral part of this history; I don’t know what would have happened if events had happened differently, or furthermore, whether it is more than the inner spirit of the wounded. But I can tell you about what Alexis was before he was dead from the cop’s bullets. In his short but adventurous life he lived authentically, he was a young insurgent fascinated with the idea of anarchy like those who now occupy the city streets hurling Molotov cocktails at cops and burning police cars, he was unruly and stubborn, he was an honest person with a kind soul and selfless motives in everything he did. He was a person who lived his passions and frustrations intensely…”  Nikos Romanos  “Requiem for a Journey of No Return” 29/11/2015

Seventeen years have passed since the murder of the anarchist student Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarcheia by the cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis, at the intersection of Messologgiou and Tzavella. The location, as well as what happened over the hours and days that followed, was not coincidental. Already before the bloody night of December 6, 2008, Exarcheia was a reference point for all those who wanted to question authority and the apparent omnipotence of the State and capital. The countless clashes with the forces of repression at the Polytechnic, the square, at Messologgiou Square and in every corner of the neighbourhood, the squats, and all the social and class struggles that took place in Exarcheia together composed a mosaic of resistance and social anti-violence against the voracious engine of power that wants to destroy every dream and desire of those below.

Text by Anarchist Charisis Foivos and Z.K. (Athens,Greece)

THE LIVES OF OTHERS

The purpose of this text is to inform the wider public about the stifling surveillance we have been subjected to by the “anti-terrorist” service over the last two months. However, it also serves as a clear warning that, one way or another, this blatant and intense violation of our personal lives and privacy will no longer be tolerated. Starting from the premise that in the public arena, priority should be given to fighters whose situation is far worse than ours, such as the dozens of political prisoners, the hundreds of persecuted men and women, the thousands beaten by the forced of repression, which in our country operate as gangs that leave battered people in their wake, we chose not to publicize our case until now.

However, our stance, which stems from humble understanding, as explained above, has probably been interpreted as weakness by those in command on the 12th floor of Alexandras Avenue (The Headquarters of Athens  General Police Directorate). They probably think that they will always have the green light to cast their dirty glances over our daily lives. That is why we are now openly and publicly denouncing the daily suffocating surveillance we have been subjected to for two months now by this particular service.

CLAIM FOR THE COMMANDO ATTACK ON THE OPKE TEAM AT STREFI HILL IN EXARCHEIA ,ATHENS ON 1/11/2025

<<MIND THE STAIRS>>

A year and a day after comrade and armed anarchist fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris was killed in an apartment on Arcadia Street, following a premature bomb explosion, he was destined to remind everyone that social peace is nothing more than empty words in an empty space.

Along with the explosion, a promise was made. That the comrade would not be forgotten. The comrade has not been forgotten. His name became a slogan on the lips of thousands. Then it adorned walls, was written in texts and was the subject of events. However, it was not long before this name became a signature. The name of the fallen anarchist guerrilla Kyriakos ceased to belong exclusively to him. Conspirators met and nuclei were formed with his name. Commandos slipped away in the night and in the shadows in order to give light and noise to the quiet monotony of the metropolis. Going along this path, we decided to carry out a raid on the cops who have taken up camp on Strefi Hill.

Athens (Greece) Statement by the Open Assembly of Anarchists for 17N, regarding the attack by the left-wing parastate on the Athens Polytechnic

[Athens, Greece] How state policy manifests itself behind a repressive operation

Update – Statement by the Open Assembly of Anarchists for November 17 (rally), regarding the attack by the left-wing para-state on the Polytechnic (52 years since the Athens Polytechnic uprising of 1973 during the Greek military junta)

… people who have nothing to say

in positions of power just babble …

Now and forever rekindling

(song: “For now and forever”– Genia tou Chaous, 1989)

In our call to the oppressed, the rebels, and the people of the struggle, to join our anarchist/anti-authoritarian rally bloc for November 17, we wrote: “The invocation of the democratic polity by the state and its supporters, under whatever guise, left or right, is a deception for those at the bottom. Authoritarian violence and the attempt to displace subversive social struggles and their rebellious characteristics from the public sphere and collective consciousness are means of terrorizing and silencing subversive ideas and freedoms. […] Free Polytechnics here and now for all, everything and everyone, outside the shackles of party manipulation and deception”. And as history has shown, it was as if we were foreshadowing with this address what would follow on the first day of this year’s three-day Polytechnic  “celebration”, with the repressive attack (and attempted displacement from the public historical space) on our assembled body in the courtyard of the National Technical University of Athens by the party army of ARAS (left anti-capitalist coalition).

SOBRE LA PROXIMA APELACION DEL JUICIO DE MATROZOU 45 EL 2 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2025

NO SQUATTER IN PRISON

FIRE TO ALL PRISONS

LETS SQUAT THE EMPTY HOUSES

TUESDAY DECEMBER 2nd, 9.00 am, EVERYONE TO THE ΑPPEAL COURT (EFETEIO) ATHENS

On the 2nd of December 2025, comrades will be on trial at the court of appeal for combatively defending the buildings of the Koukaki Squats Community in January 2020. The Koukaki Squats Community was created in 2017 and was formed by 3 abandonded houses (Matrozou 45, Panaitoliou 21, Arvali 3) which became livable through collective labour and served as housing squats and places of struggle for about 3 years. The doors of the houses were open to anyone who wished to fight back state violence and injustice, to anyone who was in need of shelter or the structures of social solidarity that operated in the community, to anyone who wished for a collective way of living and also to the people of the neighborhood.

Apart from the assemblies and the events that were hosted, in the squatted houses there was also a series of structures: the lending library, the public baths and washing machines and the free shop. The Community participated in struggles for the squatting and the antifascist movement, in solidairty with political prisoners, against gender violence, patriarchy, racism, the exploitation of nature, against gentrification and touristification of Koukaki, against the privatization of Filopapou hill and more. Within these three years the houses of the Community became the target of fascist attacks (3 arson attacks in Panaitoliou), they were evicted, with the police forces using all kinds of violence (beating, plastic bullets, sound grenades, chemicals) towards the squatters to throw them out of their houses and towards any other person that stood as an obstacle against the generalized state attack on squatted places.

Responsibility claim for attack 2 Jumbo stores in Athens dedicated in the memory of our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris. (Athens,Greece)

On October 31, 2024, in a split second, the armed anarchist fighter
Kyriakos Xymitiris was killed while handling explosives
in an apartment on Arkadias Street in Ampelokipi. In this
moment of resistance and consistency, his life’s thread will be forever linked to the historical thread of urban guerrilla warfare, thus continuing the struggle of those who chose to devote themselves entirely to the revolutionary cause.

At the same time, anarchist comrade Marianna Manoura was seriously injured and taken to Evangelismos General Hospital, where her vindictive treatment and torture began. At the same time, the state narrative about a terrorist organization begins to take shape, leading to the arrest and detention of comrade Dimitris and anarchist comrade Dimitra Zarafeta on the basis of their connection to the apartment.

Athens (Greece) :On Sunday 23/11 at 3:30pm, the blooming bums have scheduled an action – intervention outside EMST (old FIX factory) on Kallirois Ave. and Amvr. Frantzi.

What justice are they talking about?

Starting from the use of the term Justice in the title and texts of the exhibition of the state institution EMST, Why Look at Animals? Justice for Non-Human Life, (2025-26) along with its lack of conceptualization and since the term is used in an organization of an official institution, this pretentious ambiguity triggers thoughts of some indirect or direct purposes. Firstly, the possibility of the deliberate reduction, equalization, assimilation and weakening of the struggle for the liberation of non-humans and humans into an exclusive issue of legislative and institutional claims. Secondly, its transformation into a matter of cultural “to trade” that follows the consumer fashions of each era and its transformation into a commodified showcase of the capitalist pursuits of the cultural/creative industry.

After all, the practice of the non-creative, capitalist classes when they initially reject the creative action of the insurgents, and then appropriate and market it as if it were their own invention, is now well known. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to show that such expediencies are usually interspersed with discourses about justice, rights-ism/entitlementism and human/non-human rights, legal or natural, which are fundamentally misleading and hypocritical up criminally false.

General Updates: On Wednesday 12/11 an uprising took place in Serres detention centre, fires were lit and people attempted to escape by cutting the fence. (Greece)

Early morning on Wednesday 12/11 police raided Kavala camp and took a number of people citing the new immigration law. This is not the first time such a raid has happened in camps.

Reports of Horrendous Conditions inside Amygdaleza Detention Centre Below are testimonies from 3 individuals detained in amygdaleza about police violence, conditions and prevention to apply for asylum.

They said that the living conditions in Amygdaleza are very poor, with massive overcrowding, a lack of beds, mattresses and blankets, lack of warm water and hygiene products and the prevalence of insects and rats. The situation with the rats is so bad that detainees sleep in shifts in order to keep the rats at bay.

There are approximately 14 people living in each container, but only 2 beds and the container is so dilapidated that half the floor is missing. Many people do not have mattresses or blankets despite the cold weather and that they are not provided with clothes. Over 100 people share the same bathroom which has only 4 toilets, and only 6 or 7 showers. There is no hot water or soap or shampoo. “Even though we ask for it [soap] they [the police] ignore us… they tell us to go clean yourself in your own country”. There is a lack of access to medical care, legal advice and asylum procedures, despite requesting cops.

Uprisings Today

Once again, the “Brave New World” of our oppressors is turning to ashes before their very eyes. France, Indonesia, Nepal. Images full of rage. The demolition of a “castle” that they try to convince us will never fall.

Antiviolence: The response of the social base against Authority.

From France to Indonesia and Nepal, the social base is rebelling against miserable living conditions, daily violence from the bosses (both left and right), and the cops. The state and capital are being targeted. In Nepal, the Parliament was set on fire. The Vice President and Minister of Finance, Bharat Paudel, is facing the people’s wrath. A world that robs people every day in order to enrich itself and impose its domination. People block the ring road around Paris, the busiest urban highway in Europe, and railway stations and clash with the cops. Shortly before, violent protests erupt in California against the mass abduction and deportation of immigrants. Continue reading (Athens,Greece) Uprisings Today : →
