Greece: Message from Thessaloniki Police HQ of resistance of the imprisoned anarchist Thanos Xatziagkelou
Message of resistance of the imprisoned anarchist Th. Xatziagkelou
When the hours begin to count down to the complete loss of freedom from the teeth of confinement, each moment acquires its own distinct existential meaning. A smile, a touch, the warmth of a comrade’s voice in a cold phone call, the chants outside the interrogation are the flames which burn your heart, reminding you that nothing ends. Battles have casualties. The war itself has casualties. But nothing was given to us, nothing was given to us bloodlessly because we extended our hand. Nothing was won through prayers.
“This inhuman, insidious white of your empty eyes reminds me of the armistice in battle…”
In this life, everything is won through faith and dedication to the field of social antagonism. With consistency in the battles and a relentless tension, a persistence on the offensive horizon. Through my small contribution to the evolution of the class struggle, beyond my contradictions and mistakes, if there is something that characterises me it is social consciousness and the commitment to the revolutionary duty. These are the two things that, on some evenings, become a noose around your neck and do not let you sleep. Screams, sobs, and even silences awaken, and they anger you, they enrage you, they arm you. Responsibility, comrades. We have responsibility. For all those restless nights I feel proud, because all of those nights I chose for my eyes to look at the stars. I remain unyielding, unrepentant, and angrier than ever, because I defend my proud captivity against the dead freedoms of decay.
“These a bit roughly, for the restoration of the black.”
All my thoughts, love and support remain adamantly on the side of these two people that are imprisoned next to me, giving the most important struggle of all of us. The struggle against the absurdity of repression. As for me, I will remind you that the revolution against tyranny is an account that remains open. And revolutionary violence ought to be a non-negotiable, one-way street.
Comrades, until we meet again on the battlefields, let us not compromise with anything less than everything.
Down the state, long live Anarchy
Thanos Xatziagkelou, Thessaloniki Police HQ

Μήνυμα αντίστασης του αιχμαλώτου αναρχικού Θ. Χατζηαγγέλου
Όταν οι ώρες αρχίζουν να μετράνε αντίστροφα για την ολοκληρωτική απώλεια της ελευθερίας από τα δόντια του εγκλεισμού, η κάθε στιγμή αποκτάει το δικό της ξεχωριστό νόημα ύπαρξης. Ένα χαμόγελο, ένα άγγιγμα, η ζεστασιά μιας συντροφικής φωνής σ’ένα ψυχρό τηλεφώνημα, οι φωνές έξω απ’τον ανακριτή είναι οι φλόγες που σου καίνε την καρδιά, θυμίζοντάς σου πως τίποτα δεν τελειώνει. Οι μάχες έχουν απώλειες. Ο ίδιος ο πόλεμος έχει απώλειες. Όμως τίποτα δεν μας χαρίστηκε, τίποτα δεν μας δόθηκε αναίμακτα επειδή απλώσαμε το χέρι. Τίποτα δεν κερδήθηκε με προσευχές.

In November 2020, an explosive package explodes in the Talca police station, slightly injuring a policeman. The action is claimed by “Entes sin Rostro, nada ni nadie que ustedes conozcan” (Faceless Entities, nothing and no one you know).
In May 2021, in a large operation, the police managed to capture Luis and Ignacio Avaca, after the investigation carried out by OS-9 personnel and the South Prosecutor’s Office. The comrades – twin brothers – were taken to the Talca prison and then transferred to Rancagua while the investigative process was underway.

Chile: Words from Ignacio and Luis Avaca. We are responsible. About our participation in the fact that we are accused and taking political responsibility
Posted on 2022/01/19
“I deny the right to judge me to all those who do not understand the voice of my longing, the howl of my needs, the veils of my spirit, the pain of my mind, the emotion of my ideas and the anguish of my thought.
But only I understand all this. Do you want to judge me? Well then! But you will never be able to judge my true self.
Instead, you are going to judge the “I” that you yourself have invented. When you think you have me in your hands to crush me, I will be high above, laughing in the distance.”
-Renzo Novatore
We have testified before the old prosecutor…It was not easy at least for us who faced a process like this for the first time. We recognized the authorship of the fact that we are accused and we have expressed our political and ethical motivation.
The act itself we have seen as a step from words to action in demonstration of our destructive criticism of the institutions that exercise violence in the name of the State.

Greece: Panhellenic day of actions on 4th February 22, for anarchist comrades Vangelis Stathopoulos and Dimitris Chatzivasiliadis
Panhellenic day of actions on 4th February 22, for anarchist comrades Vanggelis Stathopoulos and Dimitris Chatzivasiliadis
In the case of the anarchists V.Stathopoulos and D. Chatzivasiliadis, we see both solidarity and consistent revolutionary action being struck. For our part, we categorically state that we defend both. That we will stand up to the criminal extermination of the two militants and that we will not give in to the new normality that they want to impose on us.
We support the call for a microphone gathering meeting at the Propylaia center of Athens , on Friday 4 February at 17:00, as part of the nationwide day of action for the anarchists V.Stathopoulos and D.Chatzivasiliadis, as well as at the Court of Appeal in Loukareos Street, on Wednesday 9 February at 9:00, where they will be tried in the second instance.

Hello comrades,
The most important issue of the trial scheduled for February 9 is the release of comrade Vangelis Stathopoulos, against whom social solidarity on the front line of the revolutionary struggle is being brutally attacked. I, defending the revolutionary struggle, the guerrilla and widespread armed social resistance, have long been committed to the cause of social solidarity, freedom and equality. Today I stand in a position of political counter-attack against counter-revolutionary terrorism, based on the current political agendas and the movement strategy of the Organisation for Revolutionary Self-Defence, for direct all-embracing confederal social self-management.

On 8/11/2020 anti-terrorist cops arrest the anarchist militant V. Stathopoulos, implicating him, through an anonymous phone call, in the armed robbery of the ΟΠΑΠ store in Cholargos (expropriation of a local state casino store in athens).
In this robbery, the comrade D. Hatzivassiliadis was injured, and sought and received medical assistance from V. Stathopoulos.
Without wasting a moment, the anti-terrorist police dubbed the robbery a “terrorist” action of the “Revolutionary Self-Defence” organization and drew up a heavy indictment against V. Stathopoulos, whom they presented as a member of the organization, even though the comrade was imprisoned during most of the action of this organization. From the very first moment, he denies his involvement in both the robbery and the organisation in question, and insists that his only involvement in the case was in trying to provide first aid to the injured comrade D. Hatzivassiliadis.
