Two teenagers, Harvey Evans and Kyrees Sullivan, are killed trying to escape the cops in Ely, Cardiff…
…Those same cops move in to try to grasp control even of the ground where those boys have just fallen.
People emerge into the streets. Nine hours of fighting. Burnt vehicles, torches of freedom.
LIVADEIA-ELIKONAS, Greece: WIND TURBINE SABOTAGE vol 1 and vol 2 .
LIVADEIA-ELIKONAS, : WIND TURBINE SABOTAGE vol 1
21/1/23 In recent years we have seen an extreme attack on the environment by the State and capital with the installation of wind turbines, Eubeia and Bioteia (Central Greece. Its capital is Livadeia, and its largest city is Thebes.) being prime examples, with more than 50% of the wind turbines already installed nationwide.
Specifically in Elikonas, almost all the peaks are planned to be destroyed, including archaeological sites, while the electricity prices (the energy providers are often the same as the ones who install the wind turbines) have gone red due to the energy tariff. So we decided to make a symbolic gesture and drop the wind mast (which measures the wind and then the installation of the wind turbines) on the peak of Megali Loutsa in Elikonas.

LIVADEIA-ELIKONAS, Greece. WIND TURBINE SABOTAGE vol 2
WIND TURBINE SABOTAGE AGAINST THE PLUNDER OF NATURE
30/5/23, Continuing the actions against the installation of wind turbines that overwhelm Helicon, we decided to shoot down the wind tower (measures the wind before the wind turbines are installed) on the top of Tsiveris (1562m). This peak is steep, very steep and rocky, which will lead to its flattening. Finally, it is worth noting that in Tsiveri there live free herds of wild goats that we met during our ascent.

Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners: Greeting to Mapuche People in Struggle against Repression and Dispersal of Prisoners in Chile
From the particularities and in autonomy, each with their gaze and worldview, we have in the direct struggle the same enemies: the State, the prison and capitalism.
In confrontation with these we have had to face persecution, prison and death, circumstances of this continuous and incessant walk of anarchic and subversive resistance.
The same racist military and police state that pursues, imprison and kills, today articulates a policy of dispersal and isolation towards the Peñi; nothing new for power and their jailers, who seek in this dispersion to dismantle an ancestral struggle.

Athens, Greece: Update on the health condition for the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis (12/5/23
Athens, Koridallos prison : Update on the health condition for the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis (12/5/23
Today 8/6/23 while the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis is on his 28th day of hunger strike, resisting the regime of exemption imposed on him by the State and the judicial authorities, his blood sugar dropped to 47 and he was immediately taken to the “St. Paul” hospital for prisoners. He signed a paper to go back to Korydallos prison.
Today the comrade’s clinical observations are as follows:
Weight 57 kilos
Blood pressure 10 over 6
Pulse 60
Blood sugar 47
Our comrade, in the name of dignity and freedom, is again choosing the same torturous path which has already, it seems, created irreparable health problems. In this struggle, however, he has exposed the true face of the judiciary and continues to do so; all that remains is for us to support him in practice until he is with us again. We owe it to ourselves to respond to our comrade’s fortitude and to respond to the countless arbitrary acts of the State.

Gathering-demonstration against fur Friday 9/6 by Antispeciesists against fur and leather industry(Athens,Greece)
Athens: Gathering-demonstration against fur-leather industry and every type of confinement Friday 9/6 17:00 monastiraki square
It is difficult to depict with words what “fur and leather industry” means. We have been used to repeat terms without combining them with physical reality,to replicate them like they are abstract concepts, to forget that they come with the body pain of many,too many, individuals.Maybe the best description of the violent dissociation of animals’ leather and fur industry are these animals’ screams, their silences full of despair, their horror stares. All these happen far away from the well-polished cities,many kilometres away from the shining showcases of the stores that trade what has been stolen from the animals.
They happen for example in Kastoria,Kozani,Ptolemaida,Florina and Grevena where factories-prisons are full of small,dirty cages with weak,scared animals that have not been given even one day of freedom, without having ever been able to run,to play, to find comrades, to explore the forest and sleep quietly under one of its shadows. They grow up in bare minimum,merciless spaces,either being unable to come in touch with other creatures,or being piled up all together without their inherent competitiveness and their need for personal space. For example, minks fight fiercely each other,get seriously injured and stay with their wounds open and infected.Foxes are subjected to generical modifications in order to “offer” more fur while being slaughtered, and as a result they have heavy bodies and auto-immunes diseases that cause them pain every day.

Our comrade is suffering at the hands of the state because of his ideas and action, and has been subjected to multiple mockeries by the bureaucratic apparatus. That is why we too have chosen two cogs of this mechanism as targets.
We attach the text of the statement of our comrade’s hunger strike.
