Greece: FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FUND FOR PRISONERS AND PROSECUTED REVOLUTIONARIES: For Kyriakos Xymitiris.

For Kyriakos Xymitiris.

December 2024

“Arm yourself and be violent, beautifully violent, until everything explodes. Because, you must remember that any violent action against these promoters of inequality is clearly justified by the centuries of infinite violence they have subjected us to.”
Mauricio Morales

Words are sometimes hopelessly inadequate to describe the state of affairs. There is no word that accurately describes the mental pain that revolutionaries feel when fellow travelers, who together traveled miles in the struggle against the barbarity of power and exploitation from person to person, lose their lives violently. Especially when the thread of life is cut in the most tragic way, in the process of less visible or even completely invisible risks, risks that prepare the ground for an imminent attack on the world of power. But if this one word existed, it should carry in turn the words

Pain, Rage, Revenge…

This October will forever remain in history as another star that went out early, shooting thousands of black arrows into the depths of our souls.

Since October 31, after that cursed explosion on Arcadia Street in Ampelokipi, the world of struggle has been left once again in ruins. Anarchists, communists, fighters, we are reliving the pain of violent separation. We are reliving the sudden shock of realizing that there are fewer of us left in this difficult struggle, losing a bright smile and a tireless and sparkling gaze, which we must realize we will never see again in any amphitheatre, in any demo, in any solidarity bar.

Thessaloniki, Greece : Greeting to the memorial for anarchist comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno in Carrara, Italy en/it

To the comrades of Carrara, who will honour the memory and struggle of anarchist revolutionary Alfredo M. Bonanno at the Circolo Culturale Anarchico ”Gogliardo Fiaschi” on December 8th 2024.

Comrades,

By raising our insurgent fists from the Greek metropolis, we welcome your initiative to honour the memory of the comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno. A few kilometres away from you, the answer to the question “Why is it necessary to highlight the historicality of the work of the comrade Alfredo”, lies in the simplest of concepts: the constant need of a free person to revolt against misery and the constant necessity for the world of poverty to be completely destroyed.

At a time of political retreat and reform, it is our collective duty to undo the natural death of a comrade, giving breath and vibrancy to the propositions that characterized his life and his passing from every field of struggle. To fight radically and with a point of aggression, to sharpen the conflict in all the fields of social antagonism. To fight to win, not moments, but the totality of freedom.

Update from Cassavetias prisons demo , and from the gathering at Korydallos prison in Athens 12/12/24

On Thursday, 12/12/24, approximately 40 comrades from different cities, gathered outside the Kassavetia prison to support our comrade K.K., who is imprisoned in this particular “correctional” facility.

The aim was for Dinos K. on his 18th birthday and being a prisoner of the social war, not to feel alone, not to feel that our solidarity, our practical political/material/moral and psychological support for him, will not accompany him  UNTIL FREEDOM

COMPULSORY DNA COLLECTION IS TORTURE

On 31/10/24, after a device exploded in an apartment in Ampelokipi, our anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation. Our anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, ended up severely injured in the “Evangelismos” Hospital. The well-known witch hunt followed, resulting in the arrests of comrade Dimitris, anarchist comrade Dimitra Z., anarchist comrade N. Romanou and A.K.

GREECE : FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FUND FOR PRISONERS AND PROSECUTED REVOLUTIONARIES.

FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FUND FOR PRISONERS AND PROSECUTED REVOLUTIONARIES.

Comrades and friends,

The Solidarity Fund for Imprisoned and Persecuted Revolutionaries was “born” 14 years ago from within the ranks of the anarchist/anti-authoritarian movement. From then until today the Fund has had an uninterrupted and diverse presence in the history of the movement in Greece. From the open, nationwide assembly of the structure, dozens of comrades have passed through and actively participated, while today the Fund consists of two sub-assemblies, in Athens and Thessaloniki. Throughout these years, the structure of the Fund has provided material support to dozens of political prisoners and persecuted revolutionaries. And it has managed to do this continuously and on a monthly basis. In addition to the financial support to the prisoners, captives of the social/class war, the structure attempts to support politically the comrades who are inside the walls, with events all over Greece, solidarity actions, presence in the adjacent courts.

As a Solidarity Fund we are made of the flesh of the radical movement. The people who participate in its assemblies come from it and act politically within it. The resources of the structure are resources that come from the practical solidarity of our political milieu ( in Greece and abroad) with prisoners. Through our publications, our events of all kinds, we try to raise the necessary funds for the monthly financial support of our incarcerated comrades. At the same time, a significant part of the material support comes from contributions from groups, collectives, individuals within and outside Greece. The structure is, in this way, another link between the movement and political prisoners, one of the “bodies” that the movement itself has created as another constant point of reference for the multifaceted solidarity it has shown towards them over time.

[Athens,Greece] Update from today’s demonstration in Monastiraki square in solidarity with the imprisoned comrades

Today, Saturday 30/11 afternoon, a gathering was held in Monastiraki in solidarity with the comrades imprisoned for the Ampelokipi case.

Throughout the gathering, there were loud slogans of solidarity with our comrades who are in prison and against the state and capital, intervening for some time in one of the most central points of tourism and over-consumerism in the city.

Assembly in memory of K.X. and in solidarity with the persecuted comrades in the Ampelokipoi case

On the 31st of October, in an explosion in an apartment in Athens, the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation. The anarchist comrade Marianna suffered severe injuries, after being treated at Evangelismos Hospital under constant police surveillance, she was transferred on Friday 15/11 to Korydallos Prison. In the aftermath of what happened on 31st October, the comrades Dimitra Z, Dimitris, Nikos R. and A.K have been imprisoned as well in the pre-detention prison in Korydallos. The five comrades have been charged under the anti-terrorism law 187A: formation and membership of a terrorist organization, explosion and supply, possession and manufacture of explosives, damage to private property.

The pressure exerted by the Greek anti-terror unit, working hand in hand with the interrogator in charge of the case, led to the early discharge of comrade Marianna from the hospital, with the management of Evaggelismos hospital not holding responsibility for their patient. As with every prison in the world, Korydallos is a place ruled by mistreatment and harsh conditions. The women’s section of the prison is even more neglected than the men’s section, making it a faithful copy of the patriarchal society in which we live. This torture inflicted on the comrade is rooted in the most classic practices of Western patriarchy, which is enslaving and colonial. The stripping of subjectivity and manipulation of bodies as objects, by force, is a historical practice of white patriarchy. This tries, through European states, to create the myth of an external enemy—an enemy of color, with a different alphabet. However, it is clear that patriarchy is a current enemy coming from the Western world, and is seen in the mistreatment to which the comrade and many other imprisoned individuals are being subjected.

These words we speak in solidarity with our comrade Kyriakos Ximitris and in solidarity with Marianna, Dimitra e Dimitris.

The 31st of october 2024, our anarchist comrade Kyriakos has been killed by a bomb that exploded in an apartment in Athens. Another comrade, Marianna, was seriously injured by the explosion.

Marianna spent two weeks in hospital, where she had to fight not only her heavy injuries but also the torture from the greek anti-terror-cops, who did – unsuccesfully – try to get whatever information out of her.

About Violence: A Communiqué on the Block NATO Demonstration* (Montreal,Canada)

*This release is based on the journal Block NATO, organised by CLAC and D4P, but it is independent. We will explain here the reasoning behind our actions of the evening of Friday, November 22nd, because we know why we do these things and we believe very strongly in what we do.

Let’s put things first in context : Friday 22/11/24, marked the start of NATO’s parliamentary assembly in Montreal. NATO represents the military apparatus of the global north, it’s the biggest military alliance in history. While our governments are already making the life of the excluded and exploited a death circus, NATO pressures Canada to invest 50% more of its GDP into the military. That represents 55 billion dollars. NATO is a major decision-making body that embodies militarist and imperialist interests. It’s also an accomplice in the genocide happening in Palestine.

$hile: Call for a week of agitation by Marcelo Villarroel

Call for internationalist solidarity for the Release to the Streets of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda, an anti-authoritarian prisoner in the Chilean prisons still held captive by the military laws of Pinochet.

Week of Agitation from December 9 to 16, 2024.

– From the Marcelo Villarroel Anti-Prison Solidarity Network to the street RSAMVALK in Chile together with a group of Like-Minded Individuals in different places and territories of the planet, we make this call that seeks to maintain the visibility of a very serious legal-political situation very serious since it expresses all the hatred and vengeance of the power that, above its own legality, keeps our brother and comrade who, since December 2023, should already be on the streets for having fully served the 14-year sentence that was imposed for two bank robberies that occurred in 2007.
