COMPULSORY DNA COLLECTION IS TORTURE

RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM//HONOUR TO COMRADE KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS (Athens,Greece)

RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM//HONOUR TO COMRADE KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS

It was a long road to get here. Very long, my brother. The handcuffs weighed heavily on the hands. The evenings when the little light bulb shook its head saying “time’s over”. We read the history of the world in small names, in some dates carved with a fingernail on the prison walls, in some childish drawings of the future dead – a heart, a bow, a ship that surely tore through time. In some verses that were left in the middle so that we could finish them, in some verses that were finished so that we wouldn’t finish them. It was a long road to get here – a difficult road. Now this road is yours. You hold it like you hold your friend’s hand and measure his pulse on the mark left by the handcuffs. Normal pulse – Sure hand – Sure road.
Y.Ritsos    (Γ.Ρίτσος) 

On 31/10, an explosive device exploded in an apartment on Arkadias Street in Ampelokipi, resulting in the death of anarchist comrade KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS and the injury of anarchist comrade Marianna M. In the following days, a media show followed, usual for Greek conditions, which showed the way for what would follow from the counter-terrorism and the authorities in general. The state as a whole, with the cooperation of the cops-media-judicial authorities, presents the well-played scenarios about the revival of domestic terrorism, enriching them, so that the crowd watching does not get bored, with the description of ”third generation terrorism”. All of this has already led to the pre-trial detention of 5 comrades.

For our part, first of all we do not accept the term terrorism when it comes to urban guerrilla warfare and general political violence. For us, terrorism is living below the poverty line, exorbitant rents, exorbitant bills, gentrification and redevelopment, police brutality, non-functional trains, and guns that fire in the air.

Athens, Greece : Smashing gentrification in the name of Kyriakos X. by Anarchists

Exarcheia has been transformed into a sterile, dead tourist entertainment zone where the culture of consumerism dominates and alienated, superficial relationships prevail. Hipster shops, swanky hotels, flashy airbnbs now flood the neighbourhood, turning it into a flashy showcase for the apathetic apolitical who museumise its rebellious characteristics.

Against this condition that they are trying to impose on us, we keep our political projects alive and unchanged and confirm the prospects of substantial comradeship. Recently, Exarcheia was characterized by a regime of apathy that broke on December 6th, when widespread clashes took place and slogans were shouted for our fallen comrade Kyriakos X.

GREECE : FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FUND FOR PRISONERS AND PROSECUTED REVOLUTIONARIES.

FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FUND FOR PRISONERS AND PROSECUTED REVOLUTIONARIES.

Comrades and friends,

The Solidarity Fund for Imprisoned and Persecuted Revolutionaries was “born” 14 years ago from within the ranks of the anarchist/anti-authoritarian movement. From then until today the Fund has had an uninterrupted and diverse presence in the history of the movement in Greece. From the open, nationwide assembly of the structure, dozens of comrades have passed through and actively participated, while today the Fund consists of two sub-assemblies, in Athens and Thessaloniki. Throughout these years, the structure of the Fund has provided material support to dozens of political prisoners and persecuted revolutionaries. And it has managed to do this continuously and on a monthly basis. In addition to the financial support to the prisoners, captives of the social/class war, the structure attempts to support politically the comrades who are inside the walls, with events all over Greece, solidarity actions, presence in the adjacent courts.

As a Solidarity Fund we are made of the flesh of the radical movement. The people who participate in its assemblies come from it and act politically within it. The resources of the structure are resources that come from the practical solidarity of our political milieu ( in Greece and abroad) with prisoners. Through our publications, our events of all kinds, we try to raise the necessary funds for the monthly financial support of our incarcerated comrades. At the same time, a significant part of the material support comes from contributions from groups, collectives, individuals within and outside Greece. The structure is, in this way, another link between the movement and political prisoners, one of the “bodies” that the movement itself has created as another constant point of reference for the multifaceted solidarity it has shown towards them over time.

Assembly in memory of K.X. and in solidarity with the persecuted comrades in the Ampelokipoi case

On the 31st of October, in an explosion in an apartment in Athens, the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation. The anarchist comrade Marianna suffered severe injuries, after being treated at Evangelismos Hospital under constant police surveillance, she was transferred on Friday 15/11 to Korydallos Prison. In the aftermath of what happened on 31st October, the comrades Dimitra Z, Dimitris, Nikos R. and A.K have been imprisoned as well in the pre-detention prison in Korydallos. The five comrades have been charged under the anti-terrorism law 187A: formation and membership of a terrorist organization, explosion and supply, possession and manufacture of explosives, damage to private property.

The pressure exerted by the Greek anti-terror unit, working hand in hand with the interrogator in charge of the case, led to the early discharge of comrade Marianna from the hospital, with the management of Evaggelismos hospital not holding responsibility for their patient. As with every prison in the world, Korydallos is a place ruled by mistreatment and harsh conditions. The women’s section of the prison is even more neglected than the men’s section, making it a faithful copy of the patriarchal society in which we live. This torture inflicted on the comrade is rooted in the most classic practices of Western patriarchy, which is enslaving and colonial. The stripping of subjectivity and manipulation of bodies as objects, by force, is a historical practice of white patriarchy. This tries, through European states, to create the myth of an external enemy—an enemy of color, with a different alphabet. However, it is clear that patriarchy is a current enemy coming from the Western world, and is seen in the mistreatment to which the comrade and many other imprisoned individuals are being subjected.

The 31st of october 2024, our anarchist comrade Kyriakos has been killed by a bomb that exploded in an apartment in Athens. Another comrade, Marianna, was seriously injured by the explosion.

Marianna spent two weeks in hospital, where she had to fight not only her heavy injuries but also the torture from the greek anti-terror-cops, who did – unsuccesfully – try to get whatever information out of her.

HOWLING WOLF COMMANDO SET TWO MEAT TRUCKS ON FIRE IN MEMORY OF LOBO. 25th November, Lincolnshire UK

“On the night of the anniversary of the death of Lobo, Elefteria Hambi, we set alight two meat trucks parked on the road next to a slaughterhouse in Lincolnshire. We placed a small bottle of gasoline next to the front tyre and used fire starter paste to create a quick fuse that would allow us to monitor the safety of the operation. With no buildings or people around, the operation was successful and nobody risked being hurt.

We remember through fire, with the hope that from the ashes we can build a world all our martyrs would be proud of.

Lobo never forgotten.
Kyriakos Ximitris always present.

Howling wolf commando.”
