Athens,(exarxeia area) Greece: Taking responsibility by Anarchists, for the 28/5 clashes as a sign of solidarity with the hunger striker G.Michailidis

Taking responsibility for the 28/5 clashes as a sign of solidarity with the hunger striker G.Michailidis

On Saturday 28/5 we chose to given a life  to the neighborhood of the  exarxeia little more.

It was clear in our minds to give the state a clear message about how things will be from now on if the struggle of the anarchist G. Michailidis is not vindicated.

The comrade has been incarcerated since 2013 in the Greek prisons and already since 29/12/2021 he fulfils all the formal conditions for his conditional release. However, the judges of the Amfissa Magistrate’s Court rejected his application.

GREECE: KOSTAS SAKKAS «VICTORY IN THE STRUGGLE OF HUNGER STRIKER G. MICHAILIDIS».

In the era of the normality of speciesism, of the normality of the exploitation of animals (human or non-human), of the normality of confinement and prisons, of the normality of the culture of deprivation of freedom and, essentially, of life itself, of the normality of poverty, misery, sadness and depression, one does not fight for the obvious but for its reconceptualization.

Confinement, surveillance, lack of self-determination, deprivation of dignity… Prison. Giannis knows that to win the self-evident he must risk everything he has.

To win life he must risk the condition of survival.

EN/ IT / , Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis)France : letter from prison from Ivan, “Solidarity means attack”

Letter from Ivan from his cell. He has been incarcerated for a few days on remand at the Villepinte prison. Here is his first letter…

15 VI 2022

My name is Ivan, I am an anarchist.
I was arrested by the SDAT1 on Saturday, June 11, around 3:30 am, not far from my home, while I was returning home.
I am charged with six vehicle fires that took place in Paris and Montreuil between January and June, often claimed in solidarity with anarchist prisoners (in the last one, an embassy car was set on fire the night I was arrested, in the 17th district).

For months, the cops set up surveillance tails, wiretaps, installed a camera in the entrance of my building, intercepted my mail (including letters from imprisoned comrades) and watched my bank account.

Another person (we only know each other by sight, but I hold him in high esteem) has been followed, listened to, etc., but not implicated. Also, but not implicated. Courage, my old friend!

The SDAT investigation began in February 2022 on the orders of the prosecutor Laure-Anne Boulanger, from the Bobigny prosecutor’s office. Continue reading EN/ IT / , Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis)France : letter from prison from Ivan, “Solidarity means attack”

Medical opinion for the anarchist comrade hunger striker Giannis Michailidis(Greece)

Medical opinion for the hunger striker Giannis Michailidis

On 24th of June 2022, I examined as his personal physician the detained hunger striker Mr. Michailidis in Lamia Hospital, who is hospitalized in the pathology clinic under surveillance.

From the clinical examination, as well as from the examination of his laboratory and paraclinical tests, the following results emerged: The hunger striker Mr. Michailidis, who is already on his 34th day of strike, has lost more than 21% of his body weight and has started to present serious health problems.

Specifically, I must point out that vital organs such as the liver, heart and spleen have already started to malfunction. Hunger striker Giannis Michailidis is already suffering from anaemia, thrombocytopenia, hypercholesterolemia and hypoalbuminemia.

He suffers from tachycardia and haemodynamic instability, severe gastrointestinal disorders and blood clotting disorders.

My medical assessment is that, in a very short period of time, he may develop severe multi-organ failure (circulatory, gastrointestinal, respiratory) as well as severe and irreversible failure of vital organs (liver failure, kidney failure, heart failure, brain haemorrhage), which may lead to “multi-organ failure”, a life-threatening condition for the hunger striker, or to the creation of permanent damage that will result in significant permanent disabilities.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Arson attack on Eurobank ATM by anarchists

The anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis is on his 33rd day of hunger strike and is being treated in Lamia hospital with his health condition being extremely poor.

The state, exhausting its vindictiveness, is pushing the hunger striker into a life-or-death struggle, a struggle for freedom or submission. The games played by the Ministry of Propaganda and the Amfissa Judicial Council, which for the umpteenth time rejected the comrade’s request for temporary release, clearly demonstrate that their “correction” against the declared enemies of the state and capital is extermination and torture.

CRETE, HERAKLION, GREECE: CLAIM FOR ATTACK ON DISTRICT COURT BY ANARCHISTS .

Solidarity to the hunger striker from 23/5 Giannis Michailidis

Comrade Giannis Michailidis has been on hunger strike for almost a month now, aiming for his release, refusing to accept that political, agonistic and generally «undisciplined» prisoners will be left at the mercy of each service and each council as to when they «qualify» for release. We support the comrade’s struggle, knowing that it is not an individual solution, but is added to the more general attack we face inside and outside of prisons.

We chose to attack, on 16/6, with paints at the Heraklion District Court, sending a signal of solidarity and strength to the comrade who continues his struggle and calling for a multiplication of aggressive movements until Giannis is released from prison.

We support the international day of action on 24/6

Immediate satisfaction of the hunger striker’s demand

Cops, Judges, Politicians have no reason to sleep in peace

GREECE: STRENGTH AND FREEDOM FOR GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS, STATEMENT BY PRISONER ANARCHIST FOTIS TZIOTZIS.

The path we have chosen to live is clear, without bargaining or retreat. It is the path of freedom, the path of dignity. The same path chosen by comrade G. Michailidis, who fights against them with the most precious means at his disposal, his own life. Looking them in the eye, he fights for the most precious thing in life, freedom.

I am by his side. You know he is not alone, there are too many of us and that is a «problem» for the wretches of life. The puppets of the State. Our struggle will win.

There are people who are not afraid of you and no matter how many illegitimate means you use to achieve your goal you will not succeed.
