Text of N. Maziotis convicted for the action of the Revolutionary Struggle for the 4th rejection of parole

The last board of misdemeanors of Lamia (29/9/2023) rejected my request (for the 4th time) for parole on the same grounds as the 3 previous ones, i.e. the disciplinary records for which I have been punished in the past have been deleted and should not normally count under the penal code for parole. But this time the board of misdemeanors of Lamia, in the reasoning of the rejection, went a step further than the previous boards by proving that it has the same logic that the institutions of the bribe-taking state, the post-conflict state and the junta used to have, when they asked for statements of repentance and renunciation from fighters as it also proves to have the same logic of the Inquisition.

I am quoting the contested passage of the decision verbatim:

[…] “However, the repeated commission of serious misdemeanors that also constitute criminal offences demonstrates the applicant’s lack of self-discipline and compliance with the basic rules of the penal system, his constant tendency to commit criminal acts and therefore his insufficient imprisonment and the his lack of moral improvement, for the purpose of his conversion and the possibility of his smooth reintegration into society in the event of his release from the detention centre. In addition, during the applicant’s personal appearance at the council remotely, through technological means, the latter showed particularly aggressive behaviour towards the council, as well as complete disrespect for justice and the penal system, and stated that he considers himself a political prisoner, while at the same time, he did not show that he had realized particular disrespect for the criminal acts he had committed.

For the participation in the one day hunger strike of political prisoners worldwide on the 24/11/23, in defense of Palestinian captives

Responding to the Call to all political prisoners of the world to participate in a one day hunger strike in defense of Palestinian prisoners the Friday 24 11 23*

The revolutionary Palestinian initiative on October 7, 2023 is a new historical culmination of the struggle for social liberation. The breach of the zionist colonialist fortress marks the deconstruction of along-standing regime of imperialist power worldwide. That is why NATO, through its Israeli gendarme and with the passive consent of all the subordinate states, has responded with the most dense and rapid technocratic genocide in the entire history of capitalism, promoting through live broadcast its uninhibited and free of any institutional constraints determination to maintain its exploitative domination against popular struggle.

Pola Roupa: November 17, 2023. 50 years from the Polytechnic and my release from prison

“After 7 years of consecutive imprisonment (from the arrest of 5th January, 2017), 8.5 years together with pre-trial detention (arrested on 10/4/2010) and 13 years and 6 months in total, sentence I served for my participation in Revolutionary Struggle, I have been released. The symbolism of the day was strong as this year’s November 17th marks the 50th anniversary of the Polytechnic uprising of 1973. On that day, everyone remembers the dead of the Polytechnic but also all those who have fallen in the struggle for freedom.

For me, this day was dominated by the memory of our comrade killed in the activity of Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas. But in my thoughts is also the comrade Nikos Maziotis who, despite the fact that he has served 11 years’ “closed” prison and 14 years in a mixed prison – a very long period for a 20-year sentence -, the judicial councils of Lamia are refusing to release him. It is now clear that a unique status of exception has been imposed on Nikos Maziotis, as no prisoner in a similar situation (with charges based on 187A) and with a similar sentence (i.e. not a life sentence) has remained in prison for such a long period of time. This exceptional regime based on political criteria and motives and which in practice nullifies the institution of parole – which according to the law is mandatory and not “gratuitous”, given that it is not left to the personal will of the respective judge – this exemption regime must come to an end. In addition to the flagrant violation of his rights, this special regime of exception is reminiscent of a junta-style treatment of a political prisoner.

Note*: The comrade Kuyen was detained only a month ago in a combative demo at Aplicación High School, remaining in preventative detention in range 12 of Santiago 1 for the duration of the investigation.

Words of Kuyen from Santiago 1

I find myself once again writing here from the dungeons of capital, specifically from the cage (range 12) of Santiago 1, to all of my comrades out there I send you all the strength and love to continue on this demanding path of those without power, without country, the different and oppressed who, despite all the difficulties and obstacles of power in the form of beatings, defemations, extortions and a long etc, are still here. This is thanks to the solidarity, resiliance, mutual aid and the so often necessary love, that is in my opinion the best weapon against the misery that capitalism submits us to.
