Yesterday at noon, the Greek FBI* conducted a targeted surprise search of my cell and, after a thorough investigation, managed to seize letters of solidarity from comrades abroad as well as an MP3 stick with my favorite music well hidden, which means that a resounding blow was dealt to the music industry!

As if that weren’t enough, a case file was compiled with various sticks, videos, and two empty SIM cards found on other prisoners.

This is not the first time that such a case file has been compiled by the same “hounds,” as two months earlier, during a raid on Korydallos prison where I was being held for trial, a hinge that had fallen from a window was found in my cell and considered a “weapon.”

5.mp4

Dozens of comrades joined the second day of the gatherings taking place at the courts of the courts of Evelpidon on the occasion of the supplementary investigative procedure for those prosecuted in the Ampelokipi case. Shortly before 9am, EOM(Special Suppressive Antiterrorist Unit )transport transported comrade Dimitra Zarafeta and comrade Dimitris to the interrogator in building 9.

Anarchist comrade Dimitra submitted a memorandum with her positions and spoke about the fabricated indictment and answering a clarifying question from the interrogator about some of the findings of the anti-terrorist investigation.

Comrade Dimitris then submitted his own memorandum that deconstructed the flawed indictment and also answered a clarifying question from the interrogator.

According to information they each received from the investigator, the case file is expected to be closed in the near future as they do not have to wait for any other evidence.

The process ended shortly after 12.30, when the comrades gathered approached the two comrades and, shouting slogans, accompanied them to the transporter cage.

We will be back again tomorrow, Thursday 25/09 at 8:30 when the supplementary interrogation process will continue with the anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos and A.K.

After more than 2 years’ confinement, the time has come for me to take a stand. In fact, the need to publish this text arose from the first moment of my arrest, however, personal reasons from the nature of the initial charges that weighed on me to confinement itself, have been an obstacle.

My arrest took place on 18/01/23 after a police raid on my home, as well as the homes of 6 other people with whom I had exclusively friendly/social relations. In an attempt to build and inflate the conspiracy against us, unrelated things were thrown together, with the aim of charging us with forming a criminal organization, a charge that – although ultimately dropped along with many others – was necessary for the authorities to secure our pretrial detention, but also to create impressions of an alleged great success of the ELAS ( greek police).

During the search that took place at my home on the day of my arrest, the following were found and confiscated: 2 wigs, books, brochures of the anarchist/anti-authoritarian space and other personal items such as clothes, shampoo, etc. Obviously the above were not sufficient to detain me and then a series of methods began, starting with the dictated identifications that the Patras Security Service secured in order to carry out its job.
