Greece: The new 2022 Diary has been published by the Solidarity Fund for Prisoners and Persecuted Fighters
The Solidarity Fund continues this year the series of diaries / calendars in Greek language that chronologically record some of the most important moments of the social and class war in Greece
After presenting the period 1974-1990 (diary / calendar 2020) and the 1990s (diary / calendar 2021), this year we attempt to record the five-year period 2000-2005. In this way, we hope to contribute our part in preserving the thread of our collective memory, the memory of radical struggles. It is precisely this thread of collective revolutionary memory and tradition that the State and capital are increasingly attempting to sever once and for all.

Athens, Greece: Appeal trial of anarchist comrade Marios Seisidis starts Friday 26 November 2021 at 9am. Call for solidarity at the Court of Appeal
“Whatever decision the court takes, I personally as an anarchist will continue to resist and fight on the side of the oppressed and the with all my strength, as I myself am part of them.”
Marios Seisidis

Our comrade Marios’s trial is number 1, so it will definitely start and probably end on Friday
A case that four and a half years ago gave him a 35-year sentence. This trial is expected to close another judicial chapter, the last, of a case that has occupied the domestic radical movement for at least fifteen years, and which exposed four comrades to the vengeful fury of the State authorities, with bounties on their heads, years of illegality, imprisonment, and a serious injury and amputation for one of them, Simos Seisidis.
Greece: The trial of the social fighter Polycarpos Georgiadis, accused of “aggravated possession of weapons”, has been set for December 6/ 2021
This trial, as well as the repressive operation that preceded it, the subsequent management by the anti-terrorist police, the massive dissemination of false news and the creation of a climate of terrorism by the well-known media centres, is a standard methodology followed by the State and is part of the strategies of pre-emptive counter-insurgency that have been applied fiercely against the movement for more than a 10 years..
The solidarity movement stands by the comrade because it knows well that whoever forgets the prisoners of the social – class war will eventually forget the war itself. Because the consistent presence of the comrade and his multifaceted contribution to the movement opens up paths, proving that struggle means political commitment and loyalty to the cause.
Greece: Update on the appeal court of anarchist Vangelis Stathopoulos, set for 9 February 2022
19 years in prison without evidence
In April, 2021 the anarchist Vangelis Stathopoulos was sentenced by the Criminal Court of Appeal to 19 years in prison. Our comrade has been in custody since November 2019, in the first repressive operation of New Democracy – after coming to power – regarding the imprisonment of militants through trumped up charges and blatant plots.
Vangelis Stathopoulos, when asked, provided first aid to an injured comrade. The court of appeal, presided over by Maria Giannakopoulou – the same judge who had convicted Tasos Theofilou in the first instance – sentenced him to 19 years in prison for participation in the “Revolutionary Self-Defence” organisation and for theft in an ΟΠΑΠ store (the biggest Gambling company in Greece).
Athens, Greece : for the anarchist comrade Harris Mantzouridis
Athens: for the anarchist comrade Harris Mantzouridis
On 13/10/21 the state mechanism through the ELAS ( general greek police} and more specifically the ΥΔΕΖΙ (crimes against property) service proceeded with the kidnapping of comrade Harry Mantzouridis outside his house, where he lives with his partner and their child. The tactic is well known and much used over the years, they surrounded him, ostensibly to take him to the GADA (Attica General Police Directorate) under the pretext of arraignment because after an “anonymous phone call” (sic) a week earlier, he was suspected of robbery and was summarily found handcuffed, beaten before the eyes of the surprised neighbourhood and surrounded by the security guards.
We know the character of the police officers and if there is a reason to analyze and enumerate their atrocities, it is simply so that one does not forget who we are up against and what they are capable of doing. For the organs of the state it is just a Wednesday where they use disproportionate violence to stomp on a man in front of his young child, it is just a Wednesday when they handcuffed a man who is not charged with anything and according to them is indicted, it is just a Wednesday when they defame a man and spread the word that he molested a young girl, it was just a Wednesday.

For more than 24 years of prison in 3 different periods that have not been able to break the decision to fight against power and all authority.
