City of Patras,Greece: Taking responsibility for the burning of a vehicle of AB Vassilopoulos in solidarity with the anarchist G. Michailidis by Anarchists

Patras- Taking responsibility for the burning of a vehicle of AB Vassilopoulos in solidarity with the anarchist G. Michailidis by Anarchists

We take responsibility for the burning of a vehicle of AB Vassilopoulos, (supermarket chain) a gesture of solidarity with the anarchist comrade G. Michailidis, who has been on hunger strike since 12/5/23 and thirst since 9/6/23 demanding his release from prison, once again putting his body as a barrier to State revenge.
We attacked AB Vassilopoulos, a company-pillar of capital’s attack resulting in poverty, low quality and the plundering of our lives becoming more and more unbearable every day.

Because freedom will blossom on the wreckage of the last prison that will come with the elimination of exploitation, State/capitalist barbarism, the destruction of the natural world, with the building of a world of freedom, equality, solidarity.

FREEDOM TO ANARCHIST COMRADE GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS

Greece: Today, 14/6, /23 the Amfissa Judicial Council decided to release our Anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis with restrictive conditions.

Comrade Giannis, after a hard struggle where he put his body through a 33-day hunger strike and a 4-day thirst strike, managed to win what he was entitled to and had been demanding since last year: his temporary release on parole. Something he had been forced to demand before with a 67-day hunger strike last year, which he suspended after verbal promises from officials that his request would be granted, which never happened.

So today, 14/6/23 the Amfissa Judicial Council decided to release Giannis with restrictive conditions.

GIANNI, OUR BEST WISHES   FOR A GOOD RECOVERY ….

AND SEE YOU AGAIN IN THE STREETS!

NOTHING IS FINISHED EVERYTHING  CONTINUES!

Athens, Greece: Solidarity with G. Michailidis – Taking responsibility for the burning of vehicles of confinement and surveillance of the speculators, by Anarchists

Athens, Solidarity with G. Michailidis – Taking responsibility for the burning of vehicles of confinement and surveillance of the speculators, by Anarchists

Comrade Giannis Michailidis is again putting his body as a barrage against the State revenge that he has been experiencing for almost a decade, choosing to fight for his freedom once again. Despite the fact that he has served the necessary conditions for his release and almost a year ago he spent 66? days on hunger strike without having his request met practically, the comrade is still declared a preventive detainee. On the legal-judicial pretext that he is not “sufficiently corrected”. With the main demand being for his immediate release, the comrade started a new hunger strike on 12/5 in the midst of a rather difficult situation.

As an anarchist solidarity movement outside and against the prisons of democracy, we have a responsibility and duty through militant and practical solidarity to fight back against the regime of exception and stand in solidarity with the prisoners’ struggles. We are part of this militant effort and the ongoing struggle against prisons. We support the comrade’s hunger strike attempting to break the total isolation and silencing of the struggles of all prisoners. We believe that the hunger strike of the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis, as well as many of the prisoners’ hunger strikes, can trigger militant campaigns of a multifaceted movement against prisons and imprisonment, which promotes and disseminates the revolutionary perspective of total liberation.

Text of solidarity to Giannis Michailidis from prisoners in the first wing of Korydallos

At a time when taxpaying citizens are choking to death waiting for an ambulance that never comes, covid patients are consciously condemned to death outside the ICU, cancer patients have “a line drawn” and are left to their own fate because they damage the insurance system, water along with every public good is gradually being abolished in the name of profit and the dominance of excellence, and pedophilia becomes the normality of our time… the freedom of an unrepentant anarchist, anti-believer will not be given away.

12/6/23 Refusal of hospitalisation of comrade hunger and thirst striker Giannis Michailidis from 2 hospitals because he does not accept medical interventions (Athens,Greece)

12/6/23 Refusal of hospitalisation of comrade hunger and thirst striker Giannis Michailidis from 2 hospitals because he does not accept medical interventions

For the last 48 hours a dirty game has been played on the back of the comrade Giannis Michailidis. While his weight loss and vital signs (blood pressure, blood sugar, oxygen) are very bad, leading Korydallos prison itself to signal the transfer of the comrade to an external hospital, in at least two cases he has been denied hospitalisation because he does not accept any medical interventions that involve an interruption of his hunger strike, and thirst strike for three days now.

Larissa prison,Greece:Thanos Chatzianggelou: The right of one is a matter for all of us – start of a hunger strike

Hunger strike of the imprisoned member of Anarchist Action Thanos Chatzianggelou alongside his comrade Giannis Michailidis.

Our struggles are like journeys. They carry all their contents along the road and not at the destination. And the value of a journey is in sharing it. It is the wild beauty of togetherness.

There is no more room for words – only actions. Today we each have to give a little something, so that some of us don’t have to give everything. And whatever the end, we will be by each other’s side to face it together.

From today, Sunday 11/6, I am starting a hunger strike alongside comrade Giannis Michailidis, demanding the immediate satisfaction of his rights.

No vacillation between duties and dispositions

The right of one concerns all of us

LIVADEIA-ELIKONAS, Greece: WIND TURBINE SABOTAGE vol 1 and vol 2 .

LIVADEIA-ELIKONAS, : WIND TURBINE SABOTAGE vol 1

21/1/23 In recent years we have seen an extreme attack on the environment by the State and capital with the installation of wind turbines, Eubeia and Bioteia  (Central Greece. Its capital is Livadeia, and its largest city is Thebes.) being prime examples, with more than 50% of the wind turbines already installed nationwide.

Specifically in Elikonas, almost all the peaks are planned to be destroyed, including archaeological sites, while the electricity prices (the energy providers are often the same as the ones who install the wind turbines) have gone red due to the energy tariff. So we decided to make a symbolic gesture and drop the wind mast (which measures the wind and then the installation of the wind turbines) on the peak of Megali Loutsa in Elikonas.

LIVADEIA-ELIKONAS, Greece. WIND TURBINE SABOTAGE vol 2

WIND TURBINE SABOTAGE AGAINST THE PLUNDER OF NATURE

30/5/23, Continuing the actions against the installation of wind turbines that overwhelm Helicon, we decided to shoot down the wind tower (measures the wind before the wind turbines are installed) on the top of Tsiveris (1562m). This peak is steep, very steep and rocky, which will lead to its flattening. Finally, it is worth noting that in Tsiveri there live free herds of wild goats that we met during our ascent.

Athens, Greece: Update on the health condition for the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis (12/5/23

Athens, Koridallos prison : Update on the health condition for the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis (12/5/23

Today 8/6/23 while the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis is on his 28th day of hunger strike, resisting the regime of exemption imposed on him by the State and the judicial authorities, his blood sugar dropped to 47 and he was immediately taken to the “St. Paul” hospital for prisoners. He signed a paper to go back to Korydallos prison.

Today the comrade’s clinical observations are as follows:

Weight 57 kilos
Blood pressure 10 over 6
Pulse 60
Blood sugar 47

Our comrade, in the name of dignity and freedom, is again choosing the same torturous path which has already, it seems, created irreparable health problems. In this struggle, however, he has exposed the true face of the judiciary and continues to do so; all that remains is for us to support him in practice until he is with us again. We owe it to ourselves to respond to our comrade’s fortitude and to respond to the countless arbitrary acts of the State.

Gathering-demonstration against fur Friday 9/6 by Antispeciesists against fur and leather industry(Athens,Greece)

Athens: Gathering-demonstration against fur-leather industry and every type of confinement Friday 9/6 17:00 monastiraki square

It is difficult to depict with words what “fur and leather industry” means. We have been used to repeat terms without combining them with physical reality,to replicate them like they are abstract concepts, to forget that they come with the body pain of many,too many, individuals.Maybe the best description of the violent dissociation of animals’ leather and fur industry are these animals’ screams, their silences full of despair, their horror stares. All these happen far away from the well-polished cities,many kilometres away from the shining showcases of the stores that trade what has been stolen from the animals.

They happen for example in Kastoria,Kozani,Ptolemaida,Florina and Grevena where factories-prisons are full of small,dirty cages with weak,scared animals that have not been given even one day of freedom, without having ever been able to run,to play, to find comrades, to explore the forest and sleep quietly under one of its shadows. They grow up in bare minimum,merciless spaces,either being unable to come in touch with other creatures,or being piled up all together without their inherent competitiveness and their need for personal space. For example, minks fight fiercely each other,get seriously injured and stay with their wounds open and infected.Foxes are subjected to generical modifications in order to “offer” more fur while being slaughtered, and as a result they have heavy bodies and auto-immunes diseases that cause them pain every day.
