Athens,Greece: DEMONSTRATION FOR THE MURDER BY THE STATE OF Mohamed Kamran Asik and Mia Xarizoul SATURDAY 12 OCTOBER, VICTORIA SQUARE 14.30

On 21/9, the Pakistani worker Mohamed Kamran Asik is tortured and murdered in the police station of Agios Panteleimonas by the uniformed murderers who staff one of the most notorious, sweat-soaked and blood-soaked hellhouses in Athens. Mohammed’s murder is the result of the repressive strategy of the state against the exploited and the oppressed, especially the most undervalued part of the multicultural working class. A strategy that remains regardless of the government while currently being sharpened by New Democracy party. The brutality revealed through the photos made public of Mohammed’s abused body is not a new but a systematic practice. In a political juncture when capitalism has nothing to offer or promise, when more and more people are to be devalued, marginalized and crippled, Mohammed’s abused body is a trophy in the hands of cops and fascists.

In the city center, the area of Agios Panteleimonas is perhaps the clearest illustration over time of the organic confluence of the fascist assault storm troopers, the mafia, the police and the “residents’ committees” which, as communicating vessels, attempted to tear down a multicultural neighborhood with radical roots and antifascist reference points. The multicultural proletariat is condemned to survive on starvation wages and in conditions of undeclared work, on the streets of drug addicts, in the concentration camps for immigrants and refugees, in the prisons and detention centers of the police stations, in the cardboard boxes of the homeless, in the psychiatric hospitals. It was in this system that Mohammed was murdered. In the system of capitalist inequalities, poverty, war and police violence.

Greece: Position letter from Agios Stefanos prison, of Sofoclis Toutziarakis for the case of 1/18/2023 in Patras

Position text of prisoner Sofoclis Toutziarakis for the case of 1/18/2023 in Patras

Ever since my teenage years I have been active in the anarchist space. The case for which I was remanded on January 18, 2023 concerns acts of robbery, theft, and possession of explosives. The 7 robberies attributed to me are in 3 banks, 3 EL.TA. (Post offices), 1 supermarket.

The first thing I would like to touch on with this text is the obsession with which I was treated by the court and which resulted in my sentence of 23 years’ prison. An obsession that has to do with the fact that I’m an anarchist. The magnitude of the mock trial that initially convicted me and a co-accused of all the robberies, is such that various negative elements for our persecutors – which strengthen our position of non-existent evidence – were thus simply and without logic bypassed.

At the same time, some other important absurd events happened:
a) The legal passport of the husband of the owner of the house I was renting for a few days was confiscated during the police raid. Apparently, this had been forgotten there. Although that became clear, the president managed to judge it illegal and even impose a penalty on me.

Athens, Greece – A dead immigrant at the Agios Panteleimonas police station following a beating.

Dead immigrant at the Agios Panteleimonas police station after a beating.

This particular police station is known for torture and sexual and racial harassment within the police station. Let us recall that in this particular department a 46-year-old Bangladeshi man died after a beating. On the document’s blog there are photos of the beating of the immigrant of Pakistani origin. The case is important and the Greek police is exposed. 1) why was the immigrant missing for a week and was being transferred from police station to police station 2) why does it state that the immigrant was homeless and had no papers, when this is not the case?

The fact that the man’s body was found in the only place of the AT Agios Panteleimonas where there were no cameras is sensational. The immigrant also passed through the Omonia police station known for the many murders and torture of immigrants. There are articles on the internet about the disgraceful things that have happened in this section. The oldest murder mentioned above was in 2013.

Patras, Greece: Taking responsibility in solidarity with hunger striker Thanasis Pikasis.

Thanasis Pikasis has been on hunger strike since 8/7, fighting for his return to Korydallos prisons so that he can continue his studies and receive visits from his family.

On 9/11, while he was in the Korydallos prison hospital trying to contact a doctor, he was physically attacked by a bodyguard with threats such as, “strikes do not pass here”.

As a minimal act of solidarity in his just fight and resistance to his vengeful transfer, his torture and the State’s attempts to exterminate him, on the morning of Friday 13/09 we carried out an intervention with paint, tricks and sprays in the political office of the ND (political party) deputy and Deputy Minister of Culture, Iasonas Fotila, in front of the Patras courts.

From domokos prison, Nikos Maziotis: The Quality of the “Citizens’ Protectors” 23/9/24 (Greece)

Whether outside or inside prison the struggle for us is a matter of honor and dignity and will continue.

Nikos Maziotis: The Quality of the “Citizens’ Protectors”
23/9/24

The quality of those encharged with persecuting us through the pursuit of Revolutionary Struggle and myself, a wanted person with a bounty on their head, i.e. the security forces, the so-called “citizens’ protectors”, proves in the end that they are really the ones who are a danger to citizens by committing heinous social crimes.

According to recent media reports, a retired “protector of citizens”, who during the expropriation of Piraeus Bank in Kleitoria in 2014 was injured and disarmed by me and decorated for his zeal in saving the bank’s money, was recently arrested as a member of a criminal organisation that deceived elderly people and specifically, for fraud against an elderly 70-year-old woman by extorting 40,000 euros from her.

End of the hunger strike

extract

Today, 20/9/2024, I have decided to stop the hunger strike that I started on 8/7, demanding my return to Korydallos prison so that I can continue my studies at the university as I am entitled and participate in the examinations of the electronic engineering department of PADA and IEK Korydallos.

So I decided, fearing permanent neurological damage, to end the hunger strike without knowing whether my request would be granted.

Text by hunger striker Thanasis Pikassis, and emergency update on the hunger strike, from 8/7/24 (Greece)

Emergency update on the hunger strike, from 8/7/24 Thanasis Pikasis

Today 11/9, and while the fighter prisoner Thanasis Pikasis is going through the 61st day of hunger strike, he developed chills, fever temperature and severe body pains. In repeated attempts to call for a doctor by both himself and another prisoner who heard the shouts no one responded immediately. He tried to get up and fell down unable to get up again. Then came a guard-torturer who kicked him and stomped his head on the floor saying “I don’t understand hunger strikes”.

From the service, he was given 3 reports about this incident, as a result of which the warden visited him, saying that the cameras would be checked. When the nurse came and because of the shivering and the very intense pains especially in the bones of the legs, she gave him 2-3 dextrose injections, a sedative and painkiller injection so that he could recover and calm down.

VICTORY IN THE HUNGER STRIKE FROM 8/7 OF TH. PICASSIS
NEITHER CRIMINAL OR POLITICAL RIOT AND FIRE IN EVERY PRISON

Assembly of Solidarity to the imprisoned, fugitives and persecuted militants

——–

Text by hunger striker Thanasis Pikassis

Today having reached 55 days of hunger strike, and lost 55.8 kilos, I declare from the prisons of Agios Stefanos Patras, that the rightness of my struggle is clearer than ever, I will continue this struggle against the degradation of my rights as a prisoner to the end and now being at a limit point, the only thing that will stop me is either death or justice.

There are moments where if you turn the other cheek to a blow, you are not the only one who gets hit, but you give space to arbitrariness, fascism in the legalisation of prisons becoming the property of corrupt guards, politicians and managers.

The right to education is sacred. Not one step back. To the end.

Thanasis Picassis on hunger strike from 8/7

Greetings to those in solidarity outside the walls and the supporters prisoners who keep me strong!

 We take responsibility for the burning of the egg production company of the TSAKIRIS FAMILY in the area of Thessaloniki.

Your grief over your damaged “property” is a source of amusement to us. You are not businessmen, you are murderers of millions of animals. Thousands of animals die every day in squalid conditions for the taste of their flesh, offering incalculable profits to the bosses. Sentient beings who can feel every emotion that we feel are treated as the raw material of capitalist production.

In a world where the extermination of the defenceless (animals) is the norm, we refuse to be a part of it. We refuse to stand by, we fight with fire.

Serres, Greece: Taking responsibility for an arson attack on a bank by Conspiracy to Increase Entropy.

Taking responsibility for an arson attack on a bank by Conspiracy to Increase Entropy

In the early hours of Friday, August 23, we visited the Piraeus Bank branch on Gr. Rakintzi Street in the centre of Serres and doused its facade and the nearby ATM with gasoline. Although the bank alarm went off at the time of the ignition, by the time the clueless cops realized what had happened we had already left the area long ago. We might as well just have left the scene and stopped for a drink on the way instead of taking the time to come up with a good escape plan. The action had little success since we did not manage to completely destroy the ATM as we originally planned. We’ll make sure it’s not like that next time.

We are in a situation which leaves us with nothing to do nothing but attack head-on and destroy. We seek no moral justification from the masses to act violently. Political tactics which aim at the gradual building of a mass anarchist movement with social characteristics to finally reach the revolution, permanently postponing the attack to an indefinite future, leave us extremely disappointed. We believe that counter-proposals and theories about how a better society could be are extremely secondary in front of the total destruction of the existing one. Here we want to emphasize that we do not reject mass movements in general and vaguely. Besides, we believe that guerrilla (without characterizing this specific action as such) works ideally in conjunction with a mass militant anarchist movement. The struggle will always be diverse. Arson, bombings and executions are not enough. But peaceful marches, bicycle rides and occupations are not enough either, many of which, as others before us have rightly observed, have ended up as alternative entertainment centres for young people. . Rebellion is ALWAYS HERE AND NOW.

Greece: Against borders, states, homelands, armies (here, in Palestine, in Israel, everywhere)

Here, in Palestine, in Israel, everywhere

Against borders, states, homelands, armies

War is everywhere. Without ever having been absent from the capitalist world, the world of homelands, armies and borders. It has always been present, except that nowadays every “war episode” tends to acquire global dimensions with different levels of transnational involvement: from the war in Palestine, Ukraine, Yemen, to the “tension zones” that presage a future conflict (e.g. Taiwan, Guyana, Red Sea, etc.), the world map seems to be shaped by a continuous geography of war “fronts” and “rears”.

And war takes many forms: from the famous trade sanctions that create “inflationary phenomena” in primitive societies and “food crises” in the capitalist periphery, to the Western States’ war on immigrants, the military-style management of “states of emergency” (be it viruses or floods, fires, etc.), the management of social policy in police terms. What the rulers cynically call “era fluidity” is on the one hand the other name for systemic contradictions reaching a limit point and on the other, it is a clear statement to subjects: in “fluid times” our lives are sadly expendable and survival is defined in terms of probability, risk, risk. And whoever lives through it… Then comes the famous “love of country”, the need for “national unity”, to form a “national body” in danger, with the State and the army defined as its “natural protectors”.

THE GREEK STATE CONTINUES TO TORTURE INSIDE ITS PRISONS (Greece)

A closed prison is also a closed account with Tyrranny. It is neither a sight nor an architectural work of art, but the mass grave of thousands of bodies that were imprisoned, tortured, deprived and burned to death not ever seeing the sun again without the bars or a break. When you look at a prison, think of how many people were subjected to the violence of isolation, how many were buried alive in solitary confinement, how many were deprived of their families, their people, their self- evident right to freedom. How many marched in sections through the wing courtyards, turning into each wall again and again, how many lost what was most

beautiful in themselves and became alienated, emotionally humiliated and cold.

In these cells the Greek state once imprisoned people who fought for the freedom of this country, people who resisted decay and misery, people who could not reconcile themselves to a life of submission and rebelled. In these cells, the Greek state murdered fighters who did not cooperate, who did not repent and whose death became a symbol of resistance and freedom. Today, the Greek state is still murdering people in its prisons because they are claiming, outside of bribes and favours, their self-evident rights. Because they do not bow down to their captors, but they demand better conditions of detention, they demand better lives, and they not sign their death in silence.

Perama Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim

Perama Athens, Responsibility claim

On Friday, June 9, in the neighbourhood of Perama, we set fire to polling booths of multiple party choices on the occasion of the European election process, an act of defiance against the party apparatus and the oppressors of our lives. We want to send a message to Yiannis Lagoudakos, New Democracy politician, newly appointed mayor of Perama. When he vents his fascist anger against vulnerable minorities such as the Roma he should not forget the recent incident when the water hose rained down on the mother while he was making threats to kidnap her children, and that in the face of fascist violence nothing will be left unanswered.

From what it seems, the mirror of electoral delusion has been cracked. The mechanism of the elections and the entire Euro-parliamentary mafia is given meaning in the social conflict. The high rates of abstention from the European election process represent the maximum amount of dissatisfaction from society as a whole. At least in the Greek axis, right and left together and their ends have collapsed in the eyes of the youth and not only. What remains is the strengthening of self-organized social forces on the basis of radical formation, the creation of informal direct action groups and the cooperation between persons with the characteristics appropriate to the circumstances. Beyond the difficulty of the times and the hardening of State control over our lives, the anarchist struggle must examine the rebuilding and reconstitution of the insurrectionary process as well as its strategic framework for preparing and restarting new battle structures.

[From Greece] Update about the the special “state of exception” for the anarchist Nikos Maziotis, convicted comrade of Revolutionary Struggle

We would like to send you some news about the imprisonment of anarchist comrade Nikos Maziotis -who is in Domokos prison for his actions in Revolutionary Struggle- and the special “state of exception” for him.

as a summary:

The Lamia Misdemeanors Court Council recently rejected the comrade’s request for conditional release. This is the sixth time his request has been rejected (five rejections by the first-instance council and one by an appellate court where he appealed only once). Three of the six requests Nikos Maziotis has submitted for his release were rejected by a council presided over by the same judge. And in all three instances, his request was accompanied by three consecutive positive prosecutorial recommendations.

With the recent conditional release of the Nazi Michaloliakos, the above was proven once again. According to journalistic, legal, and judicial circles, this decision was signed by Christina Papagianni as president of the Lamia Misdemeanors Court Council. Thus, with the decision No. 121/30.4.2024, the specific one was released, while his first release request was accompanied by a negative prosecutorial recommendation. From the very beginning, there was not only political cover but also a concerted and coordinated effort by state (and judicial) authorities to keep the name of the council president who released the Nazi. This attempted cover-up did not succeed. The president’s name was immediately revealed through leaks from journalistic (and not only) offices. And despite the fact that the Nazi is now back in prison (after an appeal was filed against his release by an appellate prosecutor), the selectively biased stance of far-right elements within the “justice system” who release Nazis, yet are the same ones like this particular judge who keeps comrade Nikos Maziotis imprisoned, can no longer remain hidden.
