Urgent update on Thanos Chatzianggelou’s hunger and thirst strike
26/12/22
We were informed that there has been a prosecutor’s order for forced feeding even with fixation, yet this has been communicated only orally. Doctors will follow this order if the striker falls into a coma. Thanos himself today refuses to have any examination and asks to go back to Nigrita’s prison, also due to the police presence in his room-cell in the hospital.
His doctors and nurses treat him as if he is just a patient and not a person on hunger and thirst strike with specific requests asking him whether he finally wants to be given a serum or not.
He is quite overwhelmed, he cannot fall asleep since the cops are loud, they eat in front of his face and this, as a result, affects his psychological condition.
If anything happens to our comrades, we are aware of who is to be blamed.
Forced feeding is torture.
Direct grant of Thanos Chatzianggelou’s requests.
Take your rotten hands off our comrades.
The greek anarchist prisoner Thanos Chatziaggelou is in danger of force-feeding
There is information that the greek government via a greek prosecutor’s order, wants to force-feed the anarchist prisoner Thanos Chatziaggelou, being on hunger and thirst strike for 6 days now, since the 19th of December for the violent and unreasonable transfer of him from the Korydallos (Athens) prison to the Nigrita’s one (northern greek prison). His main demand is to be transferred again to his original prison. Thanos is being imprisoned since the 8th of February of 2022, while accused of participation (he has taken the responsibility for) in the anarchist urban guerilla organization “Anarchist Action”.
For the moment, the anarchist comrade is hospitalized in the Seress’ hospital since the 25th of December, and he is totally isolated, being guarded by several policemen, who provocatively eat in front of him and make constant noise. This means that the comrade is impossible to sleep and rest, a thing that is very important concerning his health and mental situation. Thanos himself refuses any medical action or examination and asks to be transported back to the prison against any police presence in his room, and doctors have admitted that they will force-feed them if he gets into a coma situation.
Also, doctors and nurses face him as any other ill person in the hospital, and not as a person on a hunger and thirst strike who has certain demands and they ask him if he wants to be drip fed.
Both this type of hospitalization and the force-feed order are violations of basic human rights and if something happens to our comrade, we surely know who is responsible for this situation.
Force-feed is globally recognized as torture and can lead our comrade Thanos to death, doctors should never admit an action like this.
We ask for direct approval of Thanos’ demands.
Hands off our comrades.

Victory to the hunger and thirst strike (since 19/12) of our comrade Th. Chatzianggelou
During the early hours of Monday 19/12 prison snitches/guards inform our comrade Th. Chantzianggelou about his transfer from his cell to the 4th wing of the hellhole called the “penitentiary detention center” of Korydallos.After our comrade’s refusal to cooperate with them, the “well-known” hooded prison guards took over and tied him up and began his transfer to the prisons of Nigrita, after his declaration that from that moment on he would be on hunger and thirst strike until he was informed of the reason of his transfer and his immediate return to his cell in Korydallos prison. For hours our companion was unable to contact anyone, not even his lawyer. In the evening of the same day, he remains at the Sub-Directorate of Transfers in Thessaloniki and is now in the hellholes-prison of Nigrita Serres. On 25/12, comrade Thanos was admitted to the Serres hospital where he is held under the suffocating presence of police in a room-cell, violating every human right.
In the same way, on 22/12, the anarchist Kostas Dimalexis, prisoner of the 5th Wing of Korydallos, was transferred to the Trikala’s, another smaller city in central Greece,prison.

Th. Chatzianggelou | Intransigence is a contract of life and death. (Greece)
Intransigence is a contract of life and death.
During these times there is only one and unique thought – the gravity of our words. For some people words are just a complex of letters without essence. Scattered words that they are doomed to be sold as cheaply as possible from their very first moment of their existence since they were born in dirty mouths. Like stars that fade away when they fall, without the shine. Just darkness. For other people, on the other hand, words are the imprints of actions. Consistency, responsibility, dedication, loyalty, straight-forward words that work as life commitments. A life that needs to be a sum of rebellious moments and war. A life that if you don’t offer it to what you believe in, you are already dead.
A subject’s greatest confrontation is the one between itself and its consciousness. A perpetual silent dialogue, where human weakness stands before the revolutionary tasks and obligations. If you want be called “human”, you have to learn how to walk with your head held high without looking back. To count your steps, as if your words were nailed deep into the ground. Every step is a commitment. Let’s go forward, only forward. Let’s not take a single step back.

SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANARCHIST COMRADE KOSTAS DIMALEXIS (Athens,Greece)
HANDS OF THE STRAGGLERS – SOLIDARITY WILL WIN
On 22/11/2022 he was kidnapped and arrested on a trumped-up charge of state security, comrade Costas Dimalexis, a resident of the neighborhood and member of the Community of Squatted
Prosfygika of L. Alexandra. His arrest and prosecution were used as an alibi for the invasion of Prosfygika, which was and still is the real target of the operation and the attempt to criminalize our
community and our neighborhood. The indictment itself lacks of any serious evidence, was based on the fabrication of promises and with its promotion by the establishment media. The repression did
nothing but to repeat a practice that is familiar to them. Create tanks of suspects and sometimes uses them to hit and tie up cases, producing repressive politics. Countless cases over the years that fighters have been dragged into trumped-up trials, movements targeted and struggles suppressed, in order to end up into solemn acquittals or convictions that even make embarrass this bourgeois justice system itself.
At the same time, these cases are the other side of the same coin. The ever greater diversion of the Greek justice system into a regime mechanism of political persecutions, protection of the criminal elites (case Ilioupolis, the cases of Lignadis, Filippidis, Fourthiotis, Greek Mafia, etc.), terrorizing the society and imposing a totalitarian regime similar to that of the states in Africa and in Latin America.

It was during the early hours of Monday 5 December 2022, when a 16 year old boy was shot in the head by a Greek cop of the DIAS motorcycle unit during a car chase in Thessaloniki.
He was accused of filling up his pick-up truck with 20 euros worth of petrol and leaving the petrol station without paying. Following the news and his dire physical condition, riots erupted in the city of Thessaloniki, in the north of Greece, later the same day. At the same time, in Athens, several different protests were held in the evening of December the 5th. The protest in Exarcheia, held in front of the memorial of Alexis Grigoropoulos, (a 15 year old anarchist who was shot dead by a cop on 6 December 2008, sparking the events that would lead to massive riots all over Greece, known as the December Revolt) soon turned into a march that led to a riot, as seen in the video.

Thessaloniki 5/12/22
Athens,Greece: About the repressive operation and the defense of Prosfygika, 22. November 2022
We are still here … The Community remains strong and united … Prosfygika will win!!!!
On 22/11/2022, at 5.45 am, all kinds of police forces, riot police MAT, state security, Delta, OPKE and EKAM, invaded the squated neighbourhood of Prosfygika on Alexandra Avenue and more specifically the 7th block, on Tikhonidos Street (behind the Elpis Hospital). They broke through the outer door of the building, breaking it. Then they went up to the second floor where two community companions, the arrested companion and another refugee from Iran live. They kidnapped both of them and proceeded to carry out a thorough search of the building. At the same time, the entire neighborhood was surrounded by the repression forces, not only at the site of the search but in total, attempting to occupy it.
The operation was spotted by the community’s daily morning patrol who began to inform the neighborhood. Comrades and compañeras took to the rooftops to wake up the rest of us. Not knowing exactly what was happening, we recognized that the operation was limited to a specific building, but we also realized the serious possibility of a general attack. In retrospect, we judge that the invasion that took place was premeditated from the morning. All the time that elapsed until the moment of the invasion was the result of preparation, judgment on costs and gains, as well as a measurement of our determination, by the officials of the GADA and the ministry.

Life is not so good/ Claim of action
In the early morning hours of November 19 to 20 november a van of the multinational company LG (life is good) in Kaisariani, was boarded up. Life is good only for the bosses and the rulers of this world. For us it becomes good only in moments like this, when we act. We dedicate this attack to the Turkish fighters who are on hunger strike demanding a fair trial and to comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike against the 41bis regime.
Solidarity to the 4 comrades who are being persecuted for the case of “comrades”.
We send fiery signals of solidarity to the 4 imprisoned comrades accused of the attack on the Piraeus traffic police and to the imprisoned comrades D. Hatzivassiliadis and V. Stathopoulos, who are currently undergoing an appeal trial.
Practical and aggressive solidarity to all political prisoners.

Athens,Greece: Taking responsibility – Against the war industry by Anarchists
Taking responsibility – Against the war industry
In the days of commemoration of the Polytechnic, we must not forget the anti-militarist implications of the uprising. In the midst of military dictatorship, one of the central slogans of the occupied Polytechnic in ’73 was “Out with NATO”. Picking up this thread, anarchy today must find a way of direct action against those who profit and gain from these wars.
While we try to develop anarchist considerations and analyses of every interstate war conflict, one of the most important aspects of the multifaceted anti-military struggle is often ignored: sabotaging the death machine on the ground we are on.
Since we are in NATO’s territory of influence, we have a duty to sabotage everything used by the armed forces of the Greek state and its allies, the arms industry, the financiers and those who give orders and make decisions.

Athens, Greece: Explosive attack on meat industry – Signal of solidarity to G.Michailidis and to Alfredo Cospito , by Anarchists
Athens, Explosive attack on meat industry – Signal of solidarity to G.Michailidis and to Alfredo Cospito by Anarchists
With this text we take responsibility for the fire of 3 refrigerator-trucks of Davoutis SA, in Nea Ionia, Athens. All three trucks, which were parked next to the main shop-slaughterhouse of the company, were completely destroyed by the flames. This company has been active for decades in the trade of murdered animals, making it one of the largest domestic ‘meat markets’.
Our action is a signal of solidarity, complicity and comradeship with comrade Giannis Michailidis and his struggle, not only in the capacity of a prisoner with a “just demand”, but with all the perspectives and contents of struggle that as an anarchist he has put on the table of subversive fermentations.
With this action, therefore, we in turn want to put a small stone in the broadening of the struggle for freedom and the enrichment of its perspectives and practices. We want to reposition in the integral place it occupies within the resistance to the plundering of nature, the targeting and sabotage of structures that enrich themselves through the torture and mass extermination of non-human animals.
The creation of communities of resistance and direct action against development projects on remote mountain tops and rivers. The struggles for the militant defence of the few remaining urban green zones (such as those evolving in the hills, parks and squares of Athens). The collective vigilance and organisation for the protection and rescue of forests from the devastating fires of urbanisation. Our self-education on the destructive consequences of the continuous development of industrial civilization, on the evolving climate change and further radical analysis and action against the hourglass of destruction.
