Responsibility for the incendiary arson attacks on the homes of Panagiotis Tsanakas,a snitch dean of the ΕΜΠ and a riot police officer (Athens,Greece)

Responsibility for the incendiary arson attacks on the homes of
Panagiotis Tsanakas,a snitch dean of the ΕΜΠ and a riot police officer

National Metsovian Military Police

In the early hours of March 25, we carried out an arson attack on the
residence of the dean of the National Polytechnic University of
Athens, Panagiotis Tsanakas, as well as a riot police officer, in the
Zografou neighborhood. Our investigation into the chief of the
academic rabble at the Polytechnic led us to a coincidence that is both peculiar and poetically explainable. A snitch and a cop that work and live together, an image that is, at the very least, moving.

Tsanakas is not merely Hatzigeorgiou’s (director of the National
Technical University of Athens) lackey; rather, as the culmination of
his “academic” work, he has shamelessly turned in to the police a
student who was writing slogans in support of the Palestinian people on campus’ walls. However, he plays a deeper and more substantial role in Hatzigeorgiou’s police-controlled monstrosity, a rectorate that permits/enforces the daily presence and patrols of police on campus in full compliance and obedience to the dictates of the New Democracy doctrine for absolute control and, in essence, necrosis of student and subversive struggles within universities. An administration that we have lost count of how many times it has ordered the invasion of law enforcement forces onto the university grounds, with a particular “sensitivity” when it comes to those showing solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.

In Palestine beats the heart of the world of freedom and struggle. Kyriakos Xymitiris… Present. (Athens,Greece)

When a few months ago we decided to make known the KYRIAKOS X vessel project, our comrade Mariana had written to us from prison: “…Perhaps this time Kyriakos will once again come up with an inventive and creative plan, and in his own unique way make the most difficult, the most impossible things seem achievable. As long as we are together.”

In these past months there were moments when we believed that this plan would not be realized. Even just a few days ago, we came to believe that KYRIAKOS X would not manage to sail toward Gaza.

Kyriakos Xymitiris present in the streets of Berlin – Stones on pigs for Marianna and Dimitra. (Germany)

The Ambelokipi-trial in Athens found an end. After an explosion on October 31st in 2024 that killed the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris and heavily injured anarchist comrade Marianna, the greek state put her and four other comrades in pretrial detention for the past 1,5 years and today handed out the expected sentence to the comrades, 19 years of prison for Marianna and 8 for Dimitra. Dimitris, Nikos Romanos and A.K. were aquitted and released, meaning that they have lost 18 month of their time for the states construct of a terrorist organisation.

To express our rage about this and to find immediate and spontaneous answer, we got together and prepared an ambush in the area of Rigaer Straße. Arriving police forces were attacked with stones from dark corners, what destroyed at least one patrol car. Pigs escaped in panic.

Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on Vasilis Kapernaros’ law office – Direct Action Cells ( Athens,Greece)

The Direct Action Cells claim responsibility for the incendiary attack on the office of far-right lawyer and failed politician Vasilis Kapernaros in the Kypseli neighborhood in the early hours of April 2. Just as we did the last time we attacked a collaborator in the crimes of Tempi (the Vozenberg residence, February 2025), so now we name the cell that carried out the attack after the armed urban guerrilla Kyriakos Xymiteris. We call upon all fighting revolutionary forces. Every comrade who devises subversive plans and puts them into action through dynamic acts, to take up the torch and honor the memory of our comrade as he deserves. To set fire to the quiet nights of the metropolis.

To take the risks that are necessary so that we can show through our actions that there is no better way to remember and honour our dead than by intensifying the war against the rot of the system and its dominant culture.

The statement of anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos.

Nikos Romanos: I am here after almost 18 months of arbitrary and vindictive detention. I also want to contribute to the restoration of the truth with my statement. In general, I believe that the only reason I am here is my past. And I will explain later why I say this.

First of all, let me repeat here, as I have said from the beginning, that I have nothing to do with this specific case. I have not committed any of the offences attributed to me and I believe that this entire story, this entire path that has led me here, is the result of revenge that has brought me to this objectively unfavourable position.

News about T, from prison in Haren (Brussels), and visit restrictions

Indymedia Nantes / Thursday, April 16, 2026

Imprisoned since November 12, 2025, accused of setting fire to three police vehicles in Brussels. T has been under “telephone and visitor restrictions” since mid-March. Specifically, the number of visitors and telephone contacts he was previously allowed to see or speak to was suddenly and drastically reduced.

A complaint was filed against these restrictions based on the lack of notification to the inmate. Following this, they were indeed lifted, but were quickly reinstated when a formal justification was provided by the prison administration. Continue reading Brussels (Belgium): News about T.

Defence Statement of Adit, Anarchist Prisoner in Chaos Star Case (Indonesia)

Your Honorable Panel of Judges,

After everything that has happened regarding the act of violence I committed in the case of the burning of this police post, I have gained many things that I must take upon myself. About how the state —long before what I did— has carried out acts of violence on a far greater scale.

To be honest, after the defense I presented in the case of the August 2025 demonstration was rejected, everything feels pointless. My defense in the previous trial was already very long, explaining everything in great detail. Yet my suspicion that the verdict had been determined from the beginning only grew stronger when the decision was finally struck with the gavel. The state has sentenced me to two years in prison, and now the state demands again that I be given the same sentence. And for that, I only have very little room to defend the violence that I have committed.

Ampelokipoi Case – 3rd Hearing – 04/03/2026 (detailed report)

The day began with the examination of the remaining witness for the prosecution. The witness is the owner of apartment C7. In response to questions from the presiding chamber, he estimated the total damage to his apartment at between 5,000 and 10,000 euros. He also stated that the issue of structural stability may have been raised by TERNA, without them having been provided with a copy of any technical report. The witness does not know who commissioned the TEE report or who handled the procedures for issuing the building permit. The witness confirmed that there are open shops on the ground floor of the apartment building and expressed the opinion that, theoretically, there is a structural stability issue in the event of an earthquake.

He also confirmed that the crew working on the restoration of the apartment building is small.

In response to the chairman’s questions regarding whether the residents had collectively taken any action toward the authorities, the witness replied that there is a difficulty in communication. Continue reading Detailed report of Ampelokipi Case – 3rd Hearing – April 3, 2026 (Athens,Greece)

Neos Kosmos area in Athens – Claim of Responsibility for arson attack on a Violanta company van (Greece)

Excerpt of the Claim of Responsibility for arson attack on a Violanta company van by Anarchist Core “Fantasy Optimism Risk”

In the early hours of 31/03, we placed an incendiary device on a Violanta company van on Baknana Street in Neos Kosmos as a minimal response to the murder of 5 workers at the Violanta factory.

The death of the 5 workers and the injury of 7 other workers after the powerful explosion that took place at the Violanta factory in Trikala on January 26th adds to the huge mosaic of bosses’ murders by the state and capital. Agapi Bounova, Vasiliki Skampardoni, Elena Katsarou, Stavroula Boukouvala, Anastasia Nasiou were murdered. Their names must remain alive in everyone’s memory as murdered members of our class.
