A coordination’s attacks in solidarity with the anarchists M.Μ, D.Ζ. | Deprivation of health care is torture

31/10/24 will remain forever engraved in our hearts, it will be a constant reminder of the reasons we are fighting for. On that day, in Arkadias Street, in Ampelokipi, an explosion occurs following the processing of explosives, with the tragic consequence of the death of the anarchist guerrilla Kyriakos Xymitiris and the serious injury of the anarchist Marianna M.

Marianna is transferred to Evangelismos Hospital with multiple injuries and a haematoma in her head. The anti-terrorist gang don’t miss an opportunity to take a blood sample from her, as long as she hasn’t fully regained consciousness. In the following days, a horror show begins inside the hospital, with her comrade isolated, her privacy violated and the interrogator herself pressuring her to testify, while she was not yet in a position to talk. The climate of revenge culminates with her transfer to prison on 15/11, just one day after undergoing surgery. From then on, imprisoned in Korydallos women’s prison, she is faced with miserable sanitary conditions and total lack of medical care. These conditions constitute a form of torture that shows the eternal hatred that the state has for every captured and oppressed activist. Marianna has not been given a CT brain scan to monitor the haematoma during the months she has been held in prison, with her dizziness constantly worsening. On the contrary, she has been informed by the prison neurologist that unless she has an epileptic seizure, she will not go to hospital.

WE GREW WHERE WE WERE NOT SOWN IN SCORCHED EARTH

On Thursday 07/11/24, 17-year-old comrade K. K. is arrested in Messolongghi Town, accused of setting fire to a police investigation van, which occurred on 11/10/24, almost a month before his arrest. The charges he faces include arson, explosion, manufacturing and possession of explosives and damage to other people’s property. As part of a demonstration of state power, the comrade is transported with excessive police forces to the courts for his statement, is remanded in custody and on 13/11 is transferred to the juvenile prison of Kassavetias. Another flimsy indictment based on incomplete video footage recording a moving figure on the streets of the city, another vengeful prosecution by the mafia of the Hellenic Police and the judicial authorities in the wake of the state repression against those who resist.

“The social war is here and it is widening day by day, it is our duty to open wide comradely relations and the values of self-organization. Hotbeds of struggle everywhere from Messolonghi Town to Chile, from theory to practice and back again. Nothing is lost, nothing is over, and we continue to march against the state, capital, fascism, patriarchy, relations of exploitation until our last breath… for a free world.”

LET’S BRING EVERY PRISONER OF WAR BACK TO THE STREETS
FREEDOM TO COMRADE K. K.

DEPRIVING PRISONERS OF MEDICAL CARE IS TORTURE

Hands off anarchist comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z.

On 31/10/24, following an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipi, the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation, while the anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, was severely injured, hospitalised and guarded in the ICU of the “Evangelismos” General Hospital. The following days, comrades Dimitra Z., Dimitris and Nikos R., as well as A.K., were remanded in custody.

From the very beginning, state violence was applied to comrade Marianna. With her transfer to Korydallos women’s prison just one day after the second operation she underwent, her hospitalisation was violently interrupted while she still had open wounds on her face, she could not walk or fully care for herself, was dizzy and in pain. The “Evangelismos” General Hospital discharged her as a patient in this condition, knowing full well the miserable environment of the prison to which she would be transferred, where there is not even any kind of hospital and therefore no possibility of providing her with extremely necessary medical care before she fully recovers.

Her torture in Korydallos prison continues to this day. Her serious health condition, as well as the risk of long-term complications, are the result of the deprivation of necessary medical post-operative care. From the very beginning they deprived her of the provision of pharmaceuticals and forced her to stay in cells full of cockroaches, in extremely poor sanitary conditions. While to this day – four months later – necessary and urgent diagnostic tests have not been initiated. To her request to be assessed by a doctor and immediately initiate a brain CT scan requested by an outside doctor who visited her a long time ago, the response of the prison neurologist was “if you don’t fall down with an epileptic seizure, we won’t take you to hospital.” A response that accurately reflects the condition of vindictiveness, punishment, and torture that the rulers impose on anyone who finds themselves captured in the cells of democracy.
