“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.

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.

Comrade Charis Mantzouridis has been in quarantine again since noon last Monday, on the pretext that he came into contact with a confirmed case in the ward of the Korydallos psychiatric prison.

The comrade had been found positive on 30 December and theoretically should have been issued a certificate of illness. The management of the Korydallos Prisoners’ Psychiatric Hospital, having medical records proving both his preventive isolation on his admission to the prison and his illness (positive tests carried out by a doctor, etc.), proceeded to isolate him without even carrying out a medical examination.

Even though the cops couldn’t prove their terrorism case against him after a four year investigation, anarchist prisoner Toby Shone is facing a Serious Crime Prevention Order that will legally sanction the criminalisation and total surveillance of him and everyone around him for years to come after his release.

In November 2020, a series of co-ordinated raids against one of the alleged administrators of the website 325.nostate.net was executed by counter-terrorism cops in the UK as part of “Operation Adream”. Several properties in the southwest of England were searched and one person, Toby Shone, was arrested at gunpoint in the Forest of Dean and charged under the Terrorism Act. This was the first time the British State attempted to prosecute an anarchist under modern terrorism legislation and the first time that somebody was prosecuted for being suspected of running an anarchist website.

Toby was originally charged with providing a service enabling others to access terrorist publications, with fundraising for terrorist purposes, and with two counts of possession of information likely to be useful to a terrorist. He pleaded not guilty, the cops weren’t able to produce any evidence, and the prosecution was forced to drop these charges on October 1st 2021. In the end, Toby Shone was sentenced to 3 years 9 months in prison for 8 drug offenses on October 13, 2021. The ‘drugs’ were psychedelics and medicinal plants found at two of the four properties raided in November 2020, all collective spaces. He served 8 months of this sentence on remand at HMP Wandsworth and is currently held in HMP Bristol. He is due for release sometime between August and December 2022.
