by Solidarity assembly for imprisoned, fugitives and persecuted fighters


Those lost in the fire of battle never die

On 31/10, the anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris is killed by an explosion in an apartment in area of Ampelokipoi in Athens

For our comrade , the only ones who can speak are us. All of us who were with him in assemblies, actions, marches, conflicts.

Kyriakos was for years continuously present in prisoner solidarity projects, in the anti-war-Internationalist movement, in actions for the defence of the neighbourhood of Exarchia, in the struggles within the universities, in the defence of the liberated spaces of the squatters and in every social and class struggle. He gave himself to them, always seeking to discover together their most insurrectionalist possibilities. He did not just theoretically defend the multifaceted struggle towards social liberation, but was its truest embodiment.

The comrade Kyriakos chose to fight to the end, fighting the world of power, the state, capital, racism, patriarchy with all means. He chose to fight on the side of the oppressed and the rebels for a better world, for a world of solidarity, equality, freedom.

His loss leaves a huge void in his family and friends, in the comrades who were close to him, but also in the struggle itself, which he marked both with his attitude and with his words.

The anarchist fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris was one of us. We will defend his memory and hold it forever in our hearts and in every moment of our struggle.

“I know you do not count on them because the Court is armed, but I beg you to permit me to tell you that you must count on them very much, whenever they themselves think that they are all. Here is where they stand: and they begin not to count your troops because the evil is that their power exists in their imaginations and it can be said with absolute certainty that, unlike all other kinds of power, when they reach a certain point they can do whatever they want that they can do.”

Comrade, we will meet again on the roads of fire where you will live forever…

Marianna strong until freedom

Honour forever to the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris

Solidarity to all the people being prosecuted for the case

Athens, Greece: Arson Attack on the Offices of New Democracy

Arson Attack on the Offices of New Democracy ( Greek government political party)

We take responsibility for the attack on the premises of the local organization of New Democracy, in the 5th municipal district Agios Eleftherios on Petridis Street, with an incendiary device in the early morning of October 13th. We chose to place the device in front of the metal door of your offices because although we could have broken into them and burned them completely, we did not want to risk the safety of the residents of the apartment building located above your hole. So we consciously hit this target and minimized the damage, because for us it had great symbolic value, clearly proven by the fact that you kept quiet about it.

In its 50 years it has remained and will go down in history for the dozens if not hundreds of scandals with bribes, murders, trafficking rings, participation in fascist groups, etc. This right-wing, patriotic-traditional party, which still gathers a huge percentage of supporters, has been in power for 5 years and with a specific and methodical plan has created the ultimate European paradise for domestic and international capital, as well as for the mafias all over the world, and absolute hell and dystopia for the lower economic and social strata. New Democracy and all its cronies (judges, mafia, businessmen) act shamelessly and cynically without trying to hide their atrocities, sodomizing anyone who tries to take out their dirty laundry or opposes even their own victims.

Volos, Greece: Taking responsibility by solidarians in solidarity with the death of 21-year-old foreigner in the youth detention centre prison

Taking responsibility in solidarity with the death of 21-year-old foreigner in the youth detention centre.

Once again we bear witness to the absolute inhumanity towards prisoners following the death of a 21-year-old foreigner from “pathological” causes in the youth detention centre of Volos. The just uprising that broke out inside the prison on the night of 26/10 is the least possible act of the prisoners to break the cordon of terror imposed by the humans-guards.

As a reflexive act of solidarity, we broke the ATMs of Alpha Bank the same night as well as burning bins in the centre of Volos.

Reflective gathering today by Anarchists Tuesday, October 29, in Eleftherias Square of Korydallos at 20:30, for the hanged prisoner in Korydallos prisons. Athens,Greece

On the evening of Friday 25/10, a 22-year-old woman prisoner was found hanged in a temporary detention area of Korydallos prisons, with the news announced by the media of the system four days later on the morning of the 29th. On 24/10 she had been transferred to the special health centre of Korydallos prisons and then to a psychiatric hospital, as the prison officials had judged her behaviour “criminal”. She was then returned to her cell with the same pattern repeating itself next morning. Even if forensically this is considered suicide, the distinction is meaningless as a large number of previous incidents prove the uniformed officers’ contribution. This particular case is another state murder, reminding us of the punitive and inhumane nature of the prison system.

A system that not only does not care about them, but annihilates the personality of each prisoner. A system that not only does not respect mental illness, neurodiversity and the experiences of the incarcerated, but that creates countless psychological traumas and not only.

Greece: Solidarity to the 4 comrades being prosecuted for the case at Leroy Merlin | Trial 18/10, Piraeus Courts, Athens.

Solidarity to the 4 comrades being prosecuted for the case at Leroy Merlin | Trial 18/10/24 Piraeus Courts, Athens.

“IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR BOTH THE RICH AND THE POOR TO SLEEP UNDER BRIDGES, BEG AND STEAL BREAD”

Anatole France

In July 2019, at Leroy Merlin(Leroy Merlin is a French-headquartered home improvement and gardening retailer serving several countries in Europe,) in Piraeus, an attempt to remove low-priced products by comrades Christoforos Kortesis, and Thymios A. takes place. This is the reason for the targeting of trade unionist-comrade Giannis A. by the security company OVIT employed by Leroy. Giannis A. does not resign as indicated by the management. After being held hostage for 3 hours the two comrades leave the “small room” of the store with the help of four more comrades. The next afternoon, the cops kidnap Christoforos K., take him to the GADA ( headquarters police in Athens) and charge him, as the prosecutor Angeloudi upgrades this to felony.

Explosive Attack on Police Interrogation Van

The mire of defeatism and misery sucks us in deeper and deeper as we remain passive in the face of repression, terrorism and death sown by States.

The dystopian present is methodically growing, two more people are added to the long list of dead in the police hellholes. 37-year-old Mohammed Kamran Asik, having been transferred to 5 different police stations while he was missing, was eventually found dead at Agios Panteleimonas AT (cop station), in a room without cameras, with strong signs of torture. Mia Harizul, 29, was found hanged at AT Omonia (cop station) in a detention facility without cameras with 11 other detainees present. It is clear that these are murders, with their expected cover-ups by regime snitches at the same time as the government under the auspices of law and order, but also in order to safeguard its vomitic international relations with genocidal States, is forcing its dogs to suppress any kind of resistance. This tactic is proven in practice, when on 7/10 the pro-Palestine march heading to the Israeli embassy is brutally attacked by cops, people are arrested and charged with felonies.

Athens, Greece: About Anarchist comrade Giorgos Aggeletakis’s death…

About Anarchist comrade Giorgos Aggeletakis’s death…

As for me, I had many wonderful moments, since I was never of this world… and for he who wants to live truly, it helps a lot to be written off from the beginning.
T. Livaditis (was a Greek poet, short story writer)

On Wednesday, October 9, 2024, the anarchist Giorgos Angeletakis passed away, fighting until his last breath with the heart problem he had.

Comrade Giorgos, from the first march he participated in, at the Polytechnic in 1980 at the age of just 14 years, until the end gave his presence tirelessly and consistently to every struggle for social liberation. From class struggles, working in factories and construction sites from a young age, to defending imprisoned and persecuted fighters. Always in the forefront on the street, in the assemblies, in the events, in the posters, through his writings.

He was to the end an uncompromising fighter, a fighting revolutionary, a true man, who walked with dignity throughout his life with the ideals of solidarity, equality, freedom, Anarchy and Communism.

The void he leaves is great, but he will live forever in our hearts and thoughts.

He will always accompany us until Victory.

Have a good trip comrade and good luck.

I’m not afraid, die whenever you want,
but the glass of life is already overflowing

Athens Greece : MARCH IN DEFENSE GREENERY AND FREE PUBLIC SPACES SATURDAY 19 OCTOBER, 13:00 PM MONASTIRAKI SQUARE

DEMONSTRATION  MARCH OF DEFENSE OF GREEN AND FREE AND PUBLIC SPACES

SATURDAY 19 OCTOBER, 1PM MONASTIRAKI SQUARE

On October 19th at 13.00 in Monastiraki we participate and support together with a number of collectives from different neighborhoods of Attica the course of defense of open spaces and greenery. Parks, squares, hills and the urban green in general are under constant attack by the authorities, municipalities, corporations and the state, which act destructively for profit and the suppression of lives that resist or do not fit into their molds. Greenery is disappearing and the city we live in is turning more and more into a cement city surrounded by the ashes of burnt forests . A suffocating city that welcomes tourists and the rich, while ignoring, repressing or displacing from its center the poorest strata, the immigrant women and people who fight against the violent destruction of everyday life. They want a gray city, sterile and guarded by cameras and uniformed killers, we colorful and self-organized neighborhoods .

In the past, mainly against the Municipality of Athens and Bakoyannis, (mayor) many assemblies for squares and parks resisted the encroachment of capital and the annihilation of greenery, creating a series of collective resistance in the neighborhoods. These battles for the defense of green open spaces were linked to initiatives in various areas of Attica Athens from Baroutadiko in Aegaleo to the Shooting Range in Kaisariani and the Platonos Academy in Kolonos.

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.
