From Paris to Athens from the depths of our hearts. (France)

On the 31th of October, a bomb exploded in an apartment in Athens, blowing the apartment up, killing our companion Kyriakos and injuring another companion, Marianna, who is now in hospital, out of danger. We wish to her that she will recover quickly and without after-effects. We are with her in thoughts. With Kyriakos the movement lost a companion and some lost a friend, a loved one.

But in its war, the State never allows a ceasefire : Kyriakos was hardly gone for a few hours when it started already to attack our mourning companions, unleashed its henchmen against the ones it already called “terrorists” and “guerilleros” as a reference to the guerillas of the 2000’. Many persons, M. among them, are thus targeted by a counter-terrorist investigation and prosecuted for 8 charges.

Text by Pola Roupa in View of the Judicial Council in Chalkida on January 10, ’25 (Greece)

Translated to English by Nikos Maziotis and Pola Roupa


I was released on November 17, 2023, after 8.5 years of detention in prison for my participation in the Revolutionary Struggle.

Under the current legal framework for a twenty-year prison sentence like mine, I could have been released earlier if I had more wages. However, the large number of trials, my constant transfers from Eleonas prison to Korydallos prison and the repeated quarantines that I was forced to undergo due to the transfers (covid regime), were the reasons why I lost many months of wages, increasing the time I spent in closed prison. The judicial council that decided on my release did nothing more than refuse to place me in an exceptional situation and decide as it has been deciding for years for the many hundreds of other prisoners.

A few days after my release, a deputy prosecutor of appeals in Chalkida appealed the decision of the Thebes misdemeanor court by which I was released, asking to return me to prison. On January 10, 2024, I was tried by a judicial council in Chalkida on the basis of an appeal requesting my re-imprisonment.

Update from the gathering at Kassavetia prison 31/12/24 (Greece)

On 31/12/24, a gathering was held at Kassavetia prison (juvenile wing) in solidarity with the anarchist comrade inside. The comrade has been in custody since 7/11/2024 accused of arson of an interrogation van in Messolonghi.

Arriving outside the prison with fliers and banners, the prisoners’ voices resonated with the intense atmosphere and joined our own. We stood for 25 minutes shouting slogans and there was great interaction with the prisoners. Throughout the entire duration, there was a discreet presence of the cops until our departure from the village where the prison is located.

STATES ARE THE ONLY TERRORISTS. SOLIDARITY WITH THE ARMED GUERILLAS
RIOT AND FIRE IN ALL CAGES
SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANARCHIST COMRADE K.K.

Open solidarity meeting with comrade K.K. in Athens

31/10 OUR BLOOD THEIR PERSECUTIONS

Two months ago, on 31/10 at Arcadia Street in Ampelokipi,
a crack in time was created when anarchist comrade Kyriakos
Xymitiris loses his life after an explosion. Anarchist comrade
Marianna is seriously injured and a “witch hunt” starts so that
they meet the requirements to set up the charges based on
the 187A law.

Learning the news about the facts in Ampelokipi and considering
possible that the repressive – media mechanisms of the state would
attempt to connect me to the case through the keys of the
apartment on Arcadia Street which I handed over to the comrades some days earlier, I returned to Greece from abroad where I live the
last years. Returning on Monday 4/11, they waited for me at the
airport at the landing point 15-20 anti-terrorist police officers,
seized my personal belongings and afterwards they transferred me
to the 13th floor of GADA . Initially they announced to me
my admission which later turned into arrest based on a
inflated and without proof set of charges about setting up and
participating in terrorist organization, explosion and possession,
construction and supply of explosives. Interrogator Mrs. Georgia
Kioulepoglou with the public prosecutor after the interrogative proceedings decided, with non-existent proof, my imprisonment. Two days earlier with the same loose charges comrade Dimitris was also imprisoned.

Solidarity from Uruguay to Athens.en/es/de

December 2024

We live in a world in which our existence is continuously threaten by the capitalist advances in all their expressions. Governments and businessman, mercenaries without scruples are responsible of keeping the status quo, while submitting all of us by means of state violence to a life of misery and resignation.Confronting such reality, those who rise up and resist head against this imposed reality, are turned immediately into terrorist.

This idea is sustained and reproduced thanks to the unconditional support of the dis-information media, which fulfills very well their role of deforming opinion. Nothing further from reality than the headlines of the local yellow press.

Who decides to attack?

There is no such things as a savior complex in those who decide to fight. It is rather a personal decision that keeps coherence with the chosen path in life. Tireless and stubborn, us who chose this way are the undesirable reflex of a society that thinks of it self in terms of the oppressor. Therefore, we will always be on the side of those who rise up, face the oppressor and attack. Making clear that these are not invulnerable monsters.

Sidiq’s cell raided – Appeal. Indonesia

Hi all
We got a message from known and trusted comrades close to anarchist prisoner in Indonesia, Sidiq. They informed us that Sidiq had his cell raided and the guards took away several possessions of Sidiq. Generally,

Sidiq’s family and friends are finding it hard to support Sidiq because
it costs money to survive inside the prison. Therefore they have asked if it is possible to send some support money to the Paypal to improve his life there and buy again some provisions/items.

Berlin,Germany : Burning of Siemens car in solidarity responded to the call for days of action in memory of Kyriakos X and in solidarity with those persecuted in the Ampelokipoi case

On the morning of December 31, 2024, we responded to the call for days of action in memory of Kyriakos X and in solidarity with those persecuted in the Ampelokipoi case and destroyed a Siemens vehicle in Berlin-Baumschulenweg with a time-delayed incendiary device. Unfortunately, other vehicles also caught fire in the course of this, which is regrettable.

Siemens has been trying to improve its image in recent years. Withdrawing from some of its armaments sectors and investing in the renewable energy sector was intended to give the company a clean, green and politically correct face.

INTERNATIONAL WEEK OF ACTION 10-16 JANUARY 2025 FOR THE COMRADES OF THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE POLA ROUPA & NIKOS MAZIOTIS (Greece)

EVERY REBEL HEART, A REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE

Practical solidarity: In the face of the world of the state, the bosses and the horrors of their wars, we stand in solidarity with the condemned comrades of Revolutionary Struggle, Pola Roupa and Nikos Maziotis, who through the ranks and action of the organization Revolutionary Struggle, fought steadfastly and uncompromisingly on the side of the class oppressed by the violence and terror of economic exploitation, poverty and political extermination in the sweatshops of wage slavery. With consistency and dedication to the struggle for social revolution, the comrade and comrade took on the political responsibility of their participation in the organisation, as befits guerrilla dignity and revolutionary consistency.

They did not review and defended politically, one by one, the 18 armed and bombing actions undertaken by the Revolutionary Struggle, one by one, on high-important symbols and infrastructures of the state and capital, from 2003 to 2018, achieving significant blows to the correlations of domination: Ministries – of Economy and of Employment -, Evelpidon Courts, Police Departments, Police Officers and riot police, Minister of Public Order, US Embassy, Stock Exchange, Bank of Greece – branch of the European Central Bank – office of the International Monetary Fund in Greece, banks – Citibank, Eurobank -, up to the attempted escape of comrade Nikos Maziotis and other prisoners from the Korydallos prison by helicopter (hijacking), which was personally undertaken by comrade Pola Roupa.

Thessaloniki, Greece : Greeting to the memorial for anarchist comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno in Carrara, Italy en/it

To the comrades of Carrara, who will honour the memory and struggle of anarchist revolutionary Alfredo M. Bonanno at the Circolo Culturale Anarchico ”Gogliardo Fiaschi” on December 8th 2024.

Comrades,

By raising our insurgent fists from the Greek metropolis, we welcome your initiative to honour the memory of the comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno. A few kilometres away from you, the answer to the question “Why is it necessary to highlight the historicality of the work of the comrade Alfredo”, lies in the simplest of concepts: the constant need of a free person to revolt against misery and the constant necessity for the world of poverty to be completely destroyed.

At a time of political retreat and reform, it is our collective duty to undo the natural death of a comrade, giving breath and vibrancy to the propositions that characterized his life and his passing from every field of struggle. To fight radically and with a point of aggression, to sharpen the conflict in all the fields of social antagonism. To fight to win, not moments, but the totality of freedom.
