Text re the notification of our case, by Lambros B. and Panagiotis B.

I know how the newspapers lie,

because they wrote that they shot you in the foot.

I know they never aim for the legs.

In the mind is the target, your mind, huh?

On Tuesday, September 20, a bunch of plainclothes cops (of various services according to their statement, led by State security officers) accompanied by a prosecutor entered the house we live in to conduct a search and at the same time notified us with a written summons that we are accused of a case from last year, for which both our comrades and friends Fotis D. and Jason R. are accused with ridiculous and fabricated evidence and have been held in custody for almost 11 months.

During their stay in the house they destroyed everything and took with them our personal objects of museum character, all the electronic devices that existed in the house and books/brochures/things that they themselves considered dangerous (the books in particular were what was in our library from comrade Dimitris Koufontinas and some other foreign revolutionary organizations, because apparently revolutionary memory gives the cops and the State nightmares)

Brussels, Hanging a banner – Solidarity to Th. Xatziagkelou and G. Voulgaris.

On Sunday 7 August we organised an anti-speciesism event at the La Clé squat in Brussels.

The event included anti-speciesism games, vegan food, information sessions and various musical performances.
We believe that these days are important for people who are not familiar with this struggle, to be among comrades and militants and to build comradely relationships and friendships.

As a minimal act of solidarity with comrade Thanos Hatzianggelou and comrade Georgia Voulgari, we put up banners during the event.
Thanos, who is being held in Korydallos prison, was in our thoughts that day and will always be!

From the territory occupied by the Chilean State, to the Greek region.
From pikun mapu, to wallmapuche.

From the prisons of the Chilean State we send greetings with screams of support and solidarity, with all our insurrectionary complicity, with a fraternal hug from all of us who live locked-up as a result of our actions and conscientious convictions in our long path of social war against the State, Prison and Capital, to Giannis Michailidis, young anarchist from the Greek region that has carried out 60 days of hunger strike for his immediate release from prison, however, for Greek «justice» an anarchist bank robber and fugitive, after almost 9 years and 7 months in prison, after completing 3/5 parts of his sentence, he should remain in prison in spite of meeting all the requisites to be out on the street according to the legality that Dominion uses to quickly condemn the rebels that fight it.

Just like in Chile with comrade Marcelo Villarroel’s current situation of living under state kidnapping, the Greek State uses prison as vengeance and to send a message to those who dare attack it in order to destroy it. Using the nefarious «National Interest» they sustain a constant counterinsurgency to maintain the authoritarian social order that they defend.

From the territory occupied by the Chilean State, to the Greek region directly to the heart of comrade Giannis Michailidis, we send a subversive and anarchic hug alongside all the internationalist fraternity in permanent revolt, with all the strength of the memory in resistance and attack to the rotten world of capitalist normality.

Porto Alegre, Comrade Giannis: our simple gesture: A visit to an Ortodox Greek Church

Our gentle hand for those who struggle, our hostile hand for those who seek to oppress us.

This is not a spectacular action that’s at the level of the struggle of our anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis, this is barely a small wink towards him, a show of our anarchist complicity. In a world that is ever more satisfied within their own digital information bubbles, we smile when we imagine the faithful ortodox churchgoers arriving at their recently painted church to see the stains of our paint bombs and Giannis Michailidis’ name, that made its way to this corner of the world by way of this simple gesture.

Text by Giannis Dimitrakis at the event during the week of restoration of the Alexander Grigoropoulos monument

Good evening comrades, I am taking the opportunity to say a few words on the occasion of today’s event. It is a day to recall the past, to remember, as the value of historical collective memory is precious.

The conflict with the enemy unites. This is one of the most important lessons that December 2008 teaches us. At that time I was a prisoner in the Greek hellholes, and I still remember accounts of comrades who told me of their association on the barricades and the battles of those days alongside insurgents who until then had been in personal confrontations and fights with each other, having almost definitively cut off all communication, contact and cooperation. But it was the breath of the insurrection, the attack against the state and capital, that revived mutual aid, solidarity and cooperation on the battlefield. Differences, conflicts and enmities were put in the cupboard of time until all of them collectively launched the passion for revenge against the state violence that took the life of Alexander Grigoropoulos on December 6.
