Responsibility actions by Anarchists in solidarity with anarchist comrade Charis Mantzouridis (Athens,Greece)
Comrade Haris Mantzouridis has been a prisoner of the State and its mechanisms for 4 months. On 13 October, uniformed masked men of the ELAS kidnapped him from his house in front of his family and took him to the GADA (police HQ). There he is accused of involvement in a robbery of a safe deposit box in Zografou in 2018 with the only evidence being an “orphan” DNA sample found in adjacent premises after the suggestion that an “anonymous citizen” seems to have made to the cops.
The use of DNA as evidence of guilt while scientifically perverse and false is used extensively by the State and its repressive mechanisms for the hostage-taking and entrapment of militants. At the same time, the existence of an “anonymous phone call” clearly shows the orchestrated effort of the State mechanism to frame the comrade.

The “Breaking the Fear” assembly was created in response to a rape incident in Byron, following a call to collectives. An open assembly was formed that includes collectives and individuals who want to collectively respond to these logics and actions but also to support the complainants, to highlight the incidents in the local community and beyond, and to isolate the rapists and their apologists socially and morally.
To achieve these goals, the assembly organized moto demos, spray painting, poster making and interventions in the neighbourhoods and places of work and residence of rapists and apologists, with the aim of stigmatizing and socially excluding them (video). We also put out informative text, posters (see https://athens.indymedia.org/post/1616566/) and stickers that are stuck up and distributed on a regular basis, highlighting the issue in the neighbourhood.

Athens, Greece: A brief review of the events of recent days in Exarcheia area
We are bringing out this update as we have noticed that in the mainstream and the wider media, the events of the last few days, as well as the solidarity march for the Biology squat, completely ignore the fact that Exarcheia was, is and will be a neighbourhood that fights against gentrification and repression. We want to make it clear that these events are mass actions spontaneously flanked by people and prove that no matter how much Mitsotakis (prime minister of greece) and his whole family want, Exarcheia will not submit to their vices.
Wednesday 12/01/22
From this morning, bulldozers and contractor crews have arrived in pedestrian street Messolongiou and proceeded to dig up the pavement in order to put electricity in a new building where a luxury apartment block is being erected. The work is then temporarily halted due to complaints from residents, as police forces arrive at the site. In the evening of the same day, a banner is displayed against the gentrification of Exarchia and people cover the holes that the bulldozers have made in the pedestrian street, filling them with earth.

New blog about hunt sabotage (Greece)
New blog about hunt sabotage in greece
At this link: https://sabfornonhumans.blackblogs.org/el/ you will find a new blog which was created in order to pubish direct actions regarding hunting and fishing sabotage -and actions with anti-hunting/fishing context in general- in greece. Its english version is here: https://sabfornonhumans.blackblogs.org/en/. However, it is more restricted than the greek one as not all texts have been translated yet.
Moreover, those texts gathered and republished concern only the last years (2017 till today) for now. However, there are more. Whoever wants to enhance the spreading of anti-hunting/fishing actions in greece can send an email with relevant actions at: sabfornonhumans@espiv.net so as to be published. The same goes for whoever is interested in helping with the translations. Emails which are not coming from movement servers will not be accepted, for security reasons.

In times of pandemic, thousands of dead and so many others seeking access to basic goods, in times when the world is increasingly resembling a modern supervised prison, we do not forget the “invisible” of this world.
We express our solidarity with the incarcerated population and join our voices with our imprisoned comrades who are being held because of their choice to fight in the struggle.
UNTIL THE LAST PRISON IS DEMOLISHED
THE PASSION FOR FREEDOM IS STRONGER THAN ANY PRISON

GREECE: IN MEMORY OF ALEXANDROS GRIGOROPOULOS
On December 6, the anniversary of the murder of 15-year-old anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos, killed by a cop with two bullets in the back in 2008, there were numerous initiatives of struggle.
In the morning, a group of students opened the day; as night fell, a demonstration of thousands of people marched through the center of Athens.
The demonstration left at 18:00 from Propylaiea chanting slogans and heading towards the parliament and from there most of the demonstrators, the most prominent ones, went to Exarcheia, where at 21:00 there was a gathering at the memorial where Alexis was assassinated.
