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 :

Claim of responsibility for arson attacks in memory of anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris

“If I don’t burn
if you don’t burn
if we don’t burn
how will darkness become light?”
Nazim Hikmet

365 days ago, our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris gave light to the darkness, even if it was the light of his final explosion, at the end of a burning path.

Kyriakos was a resourceful and active anarchist fighter who participated in the entire spectrum of the struggle. From marches, interventions, microphone demos to clashes with the forces of repression. He was present on all the fronts and areas of the struggle. He participated in solidarity assemblies for imprisoned fighters, in anti-fascist coordinations, in actions in favour of occupations, in solidarity with immigrants, against war and imperialism, in solidarity with the struggles of the Palestinians, in struggles against gentrification and patriarchy. And of course in direct revolutionary action and the armed choice.

Friday, October 31, 2025, downtown Athens. Footage from the memorial march for the anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris, who lost his life on October 31, 2024, after an explosion in an apartment on Arkadias Street in Ampelokipi, the moment of the generalized attack by the riot police with the aim of breaking up the march when it entered Benaki, and the crescendo of violence by the riot police in response, when an hour after the violent break-up of the march for Kyriakos Xymitiris, they surrounded Exarchia, ran into the pedestrian street of Messolongiou and Kolettis corner beating and arresting people sitting in the cafes and bars of the area, throwing firebombs feeling  the neighborhood with chemicals teargas…

Responsibility claim about the incendiary attack on MG dealership
in Vyronas 9/10/25

All who are lost in the fires of the struggle never die

Every October is black, every thought we have is black, every action we take is black. Since October 31, 2024, our hearts have been frozen upon hearing the news of the death of our anarchist comrade and guerilla Kyriakos Xymitiris. In an apartment on Arkadias Street, in Ambelokipi area, the comrade was killed while working on an explosive device and his anarchist comrade Marianna M. was seriously injured.

What happened next is pretty well known when it comes to the state’s witch hunts against anarchists. After comrade Marianna
was taken to Evanggelismos Hospital, all kinds of tactics and torture were used by the cops and the investigating authorities.
Subsequently, anarchist comrade Dimitra Z. and comrade Dimitris are arrested on insufficient evidence. A few days later, anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos and A.K. are also arrested. In fact, the only incriminating evidence against the latter two is a fingerprint on a bag, which is a classic tactic used by the EL.AS.(Greek police)  to fabricate charges, since a fingerprint on a mobile object is not reliable evidence.

Taking responsibility for the arson of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food 11/10/25 in Athens. (Greece)

About the arson of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food 

EU agricultural subsidies as a tool of capitalist restructuring.
Like every ministry, the Ministry of Rural Development is a mechanism of class domination. Class domination for Greek capitalism in the sector of primary production practically means:

-Privatization of the largest and most fertile part of the agricultural land – and securing through it enormous profits – by a tiny minority of modern landowners closely linked to domestic and international agribusiness monopolies. It is indicative that today 90% of all agricultural land belongs to just 15% of wealthy rich large farmers.

• Eradication of the poor peasantry (from 900,000 in 2005 to 500,000 in 2025) and continuous pressure on their already meager income, through the sharp increase in production costs, the increase in insurance contributions and taxation, the humiliating selling prices of products to wholesalers, the drastic reduction in expenses for compensation for floods, fires, diseases, the suffocation from predatory lending by banks.
