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.

Athens Kaisariani, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson of luxury vehicles

The anarchist prisoner Giannis Michailidis is being treated in Lamia hospital, being on hunger strike since 23/5 demanding the obvious. His release from prison, which the Council of Amfissa is vengefully denying him.

We take responsibility for the arson of 8 luxury vehicles in the area of Kaisariani in the morning of 18/6.

We make it clear to all those responsible for the torture of our comrade that for every day that passes and his health deteriorates , we will make sure with all our efforts to disrupt the normal functioning of the metropolis. In the person of Giannis, the judicial mafia is taking revenge for consistency and commitment to the anarchist struggle, trying to terrorize each and every person who dares to fight.

GREECE: FOR IMMEDIATE PERMISSION FOR POLA ROUPA, MEMBER OF REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE.

For the second time in a period of months, the Elaiona Prison Council has rejected the request of comrade Pola Roupa – who has already served 7 years in prison – for a permit to be able to see her son for a few days.

Note the political background in terms of sovereignty, both the development of both sessions with questions to Pola Roupa about her ideological-political opinions and their public expression as well as about her political defense in court, and the consequent political underpinning of the support for the rejection decisions on the basis, in short, of the criminalization of political opinion and its public expression as well as of the political stance and revolutionary defense in court.

As clearly stated in the 1st decision (Council Decision no. 20/17/02/2022), the criminalization of the comrade’s uncompromising stance of not renouncing her revolutionary activity and not revising her anarchist position, as defended in her defense in court, arises «After listening to the detainee, from the letters and interviews published recently and earlier, in any case in the time after her arrest, on the internet and in the media.» Moreover, the total criminalization of the anarchist struggle, consistently and through the identification of Pola Roupa with the anarchist space («she has been identified with the anarchist space that develops the action outside the law», as written in the same sentence), on the basis of the public expression of anarchist ideas through counter-information that does not recognize borders «inside and outside the walls», blatantly demonstrates the openness of the regime of exception in relation to the expression of political discourses and attitudes, from the prisoners of the State who continue to resist with coherence and integrity, to the margins of the struggle itself in general.

Greece: Decision of the Amfissa Judicial Council rejecting the request for the release of hunger striker G.Michailidis

BREAKING: Decision of the Amfissa Judicial Council rejecting the request for the release of hunger striker G.Michailidis

Today 20/6 the Judicial Council of Amfissa rejected the request for release of fellow hunger striker Giannis Michailidis. The Judicial Council of Amfissa and the judges Konstantinos Mandavinos, Ioannis Gatzias and Smaragda Moraiti signed with their dirty hands the attempt to exterminate our comrade. Next to their name the word executioner will carry with it the stigma that must accompany them for the rest of their miserable lives.

The Amfissa Judicial Council has carried out part of a wider repressive plan to deal with our comrade’s hunger strike. Systematic silencing by the mainstream media, bureaucratic delay of the response in order to damage and exhaust the striker, rejection of the application at a time when he is in a critical condition in the Lamia Hospital.

Text of imprisoned comrades for Giannis Michailidis (Greece)

The punitive mechanism and its illusion of its penitentiary character collapse in the face of the fierce resistance of the prisoners where they consciously choose to stand up against the conformity, discipline and compromise that domination tries to impose.
Comrade Giannis Michailidis, without renouncing his political identity, without signing statements of repentance, is fighting a long and difficult struggle for his freedom against the special regime of exception that the judicial process, bourgeois justice, has formed. Prison is a mechanism of coercion, the ultimate mechanism of control and recording, a system of surveillance and extermination, of forced transformation of character, but Giannis has endured.

SOLIDARITY WITH ANARCHIST COMRADE GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS ON HUNGER STRIKE SINCE 23/5/22 (polish)

24 czerwca – Międzynarodowy Dzień Akcji i Solidarności ze strajkiem głodowym anarchisty Giannisa Michailidisa

24 CZERWCA został ogłoszony Międzynarodowym Dniem Akcji i Solidarności z anarchistą Giannisem Michailidisem, który prowadzi strajk głodowy domagając się przedterminowego zwolnienia z więzienia. Wzywamy do działań, które pokażą Giannisowi i jego przyjaciołom, że o nim pamiętamy, że nikt schwytany w szczęki państwowych represji nie będzie zostawiony sam sobie. Kim jednak dokładnie jest Giannis Michailidis? Jaka jest jego historia?

Przez całe swoje życie Giannis Michailidis był integralną częścią walk przeciwko państwu i kapitałowi prowadzonych z perspektywy anarchistycznej. Od najmłodszych lat uczestniczył w anarchistycznych grupach studenckich, w demonstracjach przeciwko wojnie w Iraku, w antypaństwowych i antykapitalistycznych demonstracjach ruchu antyglobalistycznego w latach 2004-2006, a podczas tych konfliktów niejednokrotnie bywał aresztowany. Uczestniczył w walkach studenckich w latach 2006-2007 przeciwko reakcyjnym reformom szkolnictwa wyższego (prywatyzacja uniwersytetów, zniesienie azylu uniwersyteckiego itp.) Walczył z ekonomicznym rabunkiem przyrody. W 2007 r. został aresztowany podczas interwencji przeciwko wylesianiu góry Parnitha. Był integralną częścią powstania grudniowego, kiedy to policjanci zamordowali z zimną krwią 16-letniego anarchistę Alexandrosa Grigoropoulosa w rejonie Exarchii. Brał udział w walkach przeciwko memorandom w 2012 r. i zdecydował się na wywłaszczenie krwawego bogactwa banków. Pozostaje osobą nieugięcie oddaną wizji obalenia państwa i kapitału, zajmując bojową postawę wobec kompleksu policyjno-sądowego, uosabiającego terroryzm państwowy.
