Ampelokipi Case – 8th Hearing– 17/04/2026

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.

Statements from the two comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta .

Marianna Manoura

I would like to state to the residents of the apartment building that the explosion was not due to an organized plan. It resulted in the death of my comrade, Kyriakos Xymitiris, and my own serious injury. We never wanted general people to suffer, nor to cause damage to people whilst social conditions are already very serious. When our political space wants to attack it evaluates, and the logic of collateral damage is in no way consistent with its values. We use our means against the system alone.

I thank the two people who helped me immediately after the explosion. Continue reading Statements from the two comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta in the 2 day of the trial. (Athens,Greece) →

If We Are Afraid Today, We Will Be Afraid Tomorrow and Forever 

It took 512 days for the authorities to finally decide that it was time to try our case, the Ampelokipi case. Just one breath before the end of the 18-month period. Not because the investigative process was truly endless, nor because new evidence was constantly emerging in the meantime. From the very first moment, the facts were more or less the same.

The choice, however, to set the trial at the last minute was neither accidental nor procedural. It was a purely political choice, a conscious method so that the process would run on a fast track and the desired decision would be produced, with the same speed. Nevertheless, in this last text of mine before the trial, I will not dwell in detail on the practices and methods that the judicial authorities employ against us. These are already known to anyone who wants to see them.
