Chile : Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners: Greeting to Mapuche People in Struggle against Repression and Dispersal of Prisoners in Chile.

Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners: Greeting to Mapuche People in Struggle against Repression and Dispersal of Prisoners in Chile

From the particularities and in autonomy, each with their gaze and worldview, we have in the direct struggle the same enemies: the State, the prison and capitalism.

In confrontation with these we have had to face persecution, prison and death, circumstances of this continuous and incessant walk of anarchic and subversive resistance.

The same racist military and police state that pursues, imprison and kills, today articulates a policy of dispersal and isolation towards the Peñi; nothing new for power and their jailers, who seek in this dispersion to dismantle an ancestral struggle.

Athens, Greece: Update on the health condition for the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis (12/5/23

Athens, Koridallos prison : Update on the health condition for the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis (12/5/23

Today 8/6/23 while the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis is on his 28th day of hunger strike, resisting the regime of exemption imposed on him by the State and the judicial authorities, his blood sugar dropped to 47 and he was immediately taken to the “St. Paul” hospital for prisoners. He signed a paper to go back to Korydallos prison.

Today the comrade’s clinical observations are as follows:

Weight 57 kilos
Blood pressure 10 over 6
Pulse 60
Blood sugar 47

Our comrade, in the name of dignity and freedom, is again choosing the same torturous path which has already, it seems, created irreparable health problems. In this struggle, however, he has exposed the true face of the judiciary and continues to do so; all that remains is for us to support him in practice until he is with us again. We owe it to ourselves to respond to our comrade’s fortitude and to respond to the countless arbitrary acts of the State.

Gathering-demonstration against fur Friday 9/6 by Antispeciesists against fur and leather industry(Athens,Greece)

Athens: Gathering-demonstration against fur-leather industry and every type of confinement Friday 9/6 17:00 monastiraki square

It is difficult to depict with words what “fur and leather industry” means. We have been used to repeat terms without combining them with physical reality,to replicate them like they are abstract concepts, to forget that they come with the body pain of many,too many, individuals.Maybe the best description of the violent dissociation of animals’ leather and fur industry are these animals’ screams, their silences full of despair, their horror stares. All these happen far away from the well-polished cities,many kilometres away from the shining showcases of the stores that trade what has been stolen from the animals.

They happen for example in Kastoria,Kozani,Ptolemaida,Florina and Grevena where factories-prisons are full of small,dirty cages with weak,scared animals that have not been given even one day of freedom, without having ever been able to run,to play, to find comrades, to explore the forest and sleep quietly under one of its shadows. They grow up in bare minimum,merciless spaces,either being unable to come in touch with other creatures,or being piled up all together without their inherent competitiveness and their need for personal space. For example, minks fight fiercely each other,get seriously injured and stay with their wounds open and infected.Foxes are subjected to generical modifications in order to “offer” more fur while being slaughtered, and as a result they have heavy bodies and auto-immunes diseases that cause them pain every day.

On Saturday 27 May, at 1am, we attacked the Κ.Ε.Π. Citizens advice office of the state)and the  ELΤΑ (post offices)  in Kaisariani area  at the same time, destroying their windows and doors. We carried out this action in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker from 12/5/23 Giannis Michailidis.

Our comrade is suffering at the hands of the state because of his ideas and action, and has been subjected to multiple mockeries by the bureaucratic apparatus. That is why we too have chosen two cogs of this mechanism as targets.

We attach the text of the statement of our comrade’s hunger strike.

Statement of solidarity of the imprisoned member of Anarchist Action Th. Chatzianggelou to the struggle of the anarchist hunger striker G. Michailidis (from 12/5), during the trial of the Anarchist Organisation Action on 25/5/23

In an era of political rot and the deadly rigidity of social competition, we have a duty to be the voice of those who cannot be heard. Those whose right meets walls and grids. We are here for each other, to carry the right of the uncontested, circulating the struggles. With a deep-rooted sense of collectivization and the need to continue to struggle to claim what we are deprived of. Because for us, nothing was ever taken for granted.

VICTORY IN THE HUNGER STRIKE OF GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS

Once again dystopia is dangerously close to us. The state is constantly inventing new ways to undermine our living conditions more and more. Labour rights are now a thing of the past as partial employment contracts, the daily dismissal of trade unionists, often fatal work accidents, wage cuts, and the repayment or non-payment of bonuses under extortionate conditions are the status quo. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly shamelessly obvious how expendable our lives are to the state apparatus.

The 57 murders in Tempe, the daily deportations and repatriations of migrant women on equally murderous terms, and the more ‘indirect’ method of the state’s death policy by raising the prices of everyday products, electricity and gas, as well as rents. Of course, even if you have to pay for all this, no one can guarantee that the next day you will still have a house to live in, since there is no longer any protection of the first home and the cops and prosecutors may appear one day in your living room and literally throw you out on the street within a few hours with all the things you have managed to collect.
