Athens,Greece : CLAIM OF THE ATTACK ON THE OBA STORE.

On the night of May Day we chose to attack the new store in the Exarchia area, at 45 Themistokleous Street, called OBA. We broke its storefront and left the political message of our action with stickers saying that since the opening of this store the homeless person who lived in front of its storefront was displaced.

This action was our response to the displacement of the homeless person who had resided for years in the arcades in front of that store and who, after its opening, was forced to seek shelter in another corner of the neighborhood.

How the surplus is displaced to make way for urban and middle class shoppers is also demonstrated by the fact that on the opposite side of the store we attacked there was a squat, which the State evicted a few years ago, sealing the building to prevent its reoccupation.

UK: Communication with anarchist comrade Toby Shone cut off by scum prison authorities G4S

Imprisoned Anarchist Toby Shone who is being held at the private G4S prison HMP/YOI Parc in Bridgend, South Wales, is now unable to communicate by phone with his solidarity group and closest loved ones after the Security Team at Parc, headed by Daniel Hayman, removed these contacts from his permitted phone pin numbers list on Friday 24th June 2022 at 6pm. This together with interference with his post and emails is an attempt to hold him incommunicado in the jail.

He was formally notified of this decision on Saturday 25th June with the following reasons given: giving interviews over the phone, giving detailed information about staff at the prison which has then been published online, and hate speech against some prison staff.

Neither Toby nor his comrades are surprised by this action and Toby remains strong and defiant. The weak and pitiful lackeys that work in the prison camps of capital, locking other human beings up in exchange for a little piece of silver and a small dimension of power over others, are no match at all for the revolutionary spirit and they know it. Neither Toby nor any of us will ever shut up.

Write to the prison to complain and show your solidarity by contacting the Director of HMP Parc:

Athens,(exarxeia area) Greece: Taking responsibility by Anarchists, for the 28/5 clashes as a sign of solidarity with the hunger striker G.Michailidis

Taking responsibility for the 28/5 clashes as a sign of solidarity with the hunger striker G.Michailidis

On Saturday 28/5 we chose to given a life  to the neighborhood of the  exarxeia little more.

It was clear in our minds to give the state a clear message about how things will be from now on if the struggle of the anarchist G. Michailidis is not vindicated.

The comrade has been incarcerated since 2013 in the Greek prisons and already since 29/12/2021 he fulfils all the formal conditions for his conditional release. However, the judges of the Amfissa Magistrate’s Court rejected his application.

Greece: Text by Nikos Romanos on the release of Korkoneas cop killer of Alexis Grigoropoulos.

On June 28, the Lamia Court of Appeal secured for the unrepentant murderer Korkoneas the mitigating circumstance which opens the way for his release for the second time. No thinking person was surprised by this decision, which was the logical continuation of the favourable criminal treatment of the cop-killers by the civil justice system.

A look back at the recent post-communist history of incidents of police brutality confirms our claim. Dozens of deaths from police guns and batons were covered up under tons of media mud, Administrative Inquiries that ended up in drawers, Disciplinary Prosecutions that were withdrawn, court decisions that put them on easy street or exonerated them, political decisions that rewarded their murderous services to the Greek state directly or indirectly.
It must be made clear that we are not faced with the exception but with the absolute rule where civil justice plays its role. The institutional defence of the state monopoly on violence.

The political and historical responsibility of those whose attitude contributed to the depoliticisation of the case is enormous, those who made sure that the events were presented in a way that was detached from the historical and social environment in which they took place, those who with political expediency established in the courtroom of Lamia a climate of confrontation of legal arguments as if it were a simple criminal and not a political case, where criminal laws and legal interpretations will allow developments cut off from the social factor.

GREECE: KOSTAS SAKKAS «VICTORY IN THE STRUGGLE OF HUNGER STRIKER G. MICHAILIDIS».

In the era of the normality of speciesism, of the normality of the exploitation of animals (human or non-human), of the normality of confinement and prisons, of the normality of the culture of deprivation of freedom and, essentially, of life itself, of the normality of poverty, misery, sadness and depression, one does not fight for the obvious but for its reconceptualization.

Confinement, surveillance, lack of self-determination, deprivation of dignity… Prison. Giannis knows that to win the self-evident he must risk everything he has.

To win life he must risk the condition of survival.

France: YOUSSEF WILL NOT DIE IN INDIFFERENCE.

From Soleil noir n°3, irregular anarchist newsletter – March 2022 Caen, France

YOUSSEF WILL NOT DIE IN INDIFFERENCE.

This letter from prisoners of the Caen prison was sent to our comrades from the anti-prison journal and radio show L’envolée last October. In it, they explain how Youssef, an undocumented immigrant imprisoned there, died within these walls. Knowing no connections, no family, they didn’t know who to call, but refused to let this death go unnoticed.

Prison kills, and this letter from his fellow prisoners reminds us of this: although the death penalty has been legally abolished, detention creates conditions of slow death for many prisoners. Assaults, suicides, accidents and illness are even more common there than outside, subject to the reign of the absurd and the arbitrary; prison crushes as it serves as a deterrent, maintaining the existing order to keep this world founded on exploitation and domination. These are even its essential functions.

This letter was sent to local newspapers, which unsurprisingly did not report it. Far from the eyes of the media, it is only thanks to the prisoners and their relatives that the memory of these prisoners is maintained and that the full responsibility of the State, the justice system and the prison administration in this invisible killing is denounced.

A few posters publishing this legal murder seem to have spread to the walls of the city of Caen and the surroundings of the prison in recent weeks. The least to be done in the face of the deafening silence •

Hello Envolée,

Our fellow prisoner Youssef hanged himself in his cell on Tuesday 11 October. He was 28 years old. This is the third suicide since April. We should rather call it death by imprisonment, but what’s new since the abolition of the death penalty?

Italian Leonardo merges with Israeli RADA

After the marriage blessed by Draghi, Guerini & C. with Israeli RADA, the shareholders and managers of Leonardo are confident that the war business portfolio in the States will be significantly strengthened.
Apartheid is also ours.

Much of the business of the Israeli company, specialised in the production of land combat systems, are linked to the “successes” of certain systems of the Tel Aviv armed forces in the latest attack operations against the Gaza Strip.
According to Minister Lorenzo Guerini (Pd): “This news confirms the international excellence of our Defence and security industrial sector.”

Exarcheia, Athens, Greece: 25 June – Day of national and international support for the Exarcheia – Demonstration in Exarcheia Square videos:

Exarchia, Saturday night, around 20:30, 25 June 2022. People are starting to gather in Exarchia Square for the march against gentrification, evictions, political denaturalization and state repression in Exarchia. In front of the astonished eyes of the assembled people 5-6 motorbikes of the police group DRASI are defiantly passing by Exarchia Square. Apart from voices denouncing this provocative move by the police and warning of the response they will get the next time they provoke, there is no aggressive move against the police.

What are the police officers going and doing on their part? They leave and come back with more reinforcements to provoke incidents, about 15-20 motorcycles. The result of this is what is recorded in the video.

During their panicked retreat and after once again suffocating the area with asphyxiating gas, they even left behind radios, according to witnesses.

The march through Exarchia moved dynamically with the participation of hundreds.

Below is the text calling for the march:

“25 JUNE – DAY OF NATIONWIDE AND INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE DEPENDENCIES

To defend the neighbourhood of the world that holds many worlds.

A neighbourhood where people of all genders, ages and backgrounds can co-exist with respect. Where the militant history of yesterday meets the struggles and resistances of today.

Against gentrification, evictions, political denationalization, state repression. To fight for the Exarchia of social self-organization, class solidarity, revolt

– NO Metro in Exarchia Square
– No surrender of the Strefi Hill to private interests
– Let the Polytechnic remain a place of meeting and struggle
– Reduction in rent prices / No eviction

EN/ IT / , Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis)France : letter from prison from Ivan, “Solidarity means attack”

Letter from Ivan from his cell. He has been incarcerated for a few days on remand at the Villepinte prison. Here is his first letter…

15 VI 2022

My name is Ivan, I am an anarchist.
I was arrested by the SDAT1 on Saturday, June 11, around 3:30 am, not far from my home, while I was returning home.
I am charged with six vehicle fires that took place in Paris and Montreuil between January and June, often claimed in solidarity with anarchist prisoners (in the last one, an embassy car was set on fire the night I was arrested, in the 17th district).

For months, the cops set up surveillance tails, wiretaps, installed a camera in the entrance of my building, intercepted my mail (including letters from imprisoned comrades) and watched my bank account.

Another person (we only know each other by sight, but I hold him in high esteem) has been followed, listened to, etc., but not implicated. Also, but not implicated. Courage, my old friend!

The SDAT investigation began in February 2022 on the orders of the prosecutor Laure-Anne Boulanger, from the Bobigny prosecutor’s office. Continue reading EN/ IT / , Villepinte (Seine-Saint-Denis)France : letter from prison from Ivan, “Solidarity means attack” →

Medical opinion for the anarchist comrade hunger striker Giannis Michailidis(Greece)

Medical opinion for the hunger striker Giannis Michailidis

On 24th of June 2022, I examined as his personal physician the detained hunger striker Mr. Michailidis in Lamia Hospital, who is hospitalized in the pathology clinic under surveillance.

From the clinical examination, as well as from the examination of his laboratory and paraclinical tests, the following results emerged: The hunger striker Mr. Michailidis, who is already on his 34th day of strike, has lost more than 21% of his body weight and has started to present serious health problems.

Specifically, I must point out that vital organs such as the liver, heart and spleen have already started to malfunction. Hunger striker Giannis Michailidis is already suffering from anaemia, thrombocytopenia, hypercholesterolemia and hypoalbuminemia.

He suffers from tachycardia and haemodynamic instability, severe gastrointestinal disorders and blood clotting disorders.

My medical assessment is that, in a very short period of time, he may develop severe multi-organ failure (circulatory, gastrointestinal, respiratory) as well as severe and irreversible failure of vital organs (liver failure, kidney failure, heart failure, brain haemorrhage), which may lead to “multi-organ failure”, a life-threatening condition for the hunger striker, or to the creation of permanent damage that will result in significant permanent disabilities.

Manif-Est, June 23, 2022

During the night of June 10th to 11th, a person suspected of being an admin of the site attaque.noblogs.org was arrested and then placed in provisional detention, and the media unleashed their venom on this story. He is accused of having set fire to 58 cars between 2017 and 2022 in the “beautiful districts” of Paris: diplomatic cars, cars of private companies (Eiffage) or public (Enedis, RATP) or media (the Est Républicain). More info from the mainstream press here.
It made us angry.

Nizhny Novgorod (Russia): a godmother of the Russian army loses her car

In Nizhny Novgorod (Volga region) on June 11, 2022 at 3:00 a.m., a Toyota with plate Р561ХТ152, owned by the godmother of Putin's troops, Natalia Abiyeva, was set on fire at 24 Krasnykh Zor Street.

Abiyeva is the organizer of Putin’s army support fund, ardent supporter of the current regime and warmonger. People like her do not care about the death of tens of thousands of people in Ukraine and the millions of ruined and broken lives. Abiyeva is only interested in the imaginary, illusory “greatness of Russia”. But is it possible to gain greatness by washing with blood? We believe that this war leads to the destruction not only of Ukraine, but also of Russia. We must do everything possible to stop it.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Arson attack on Eurobank ATM by anarchists

The anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis is on his 33rd day of hunger strike and is being treated in Lamia hospital with his health condition being extremely poor.

The state, exhausting its vindictiveness, is pushing the hunger striker into a life-or-death struggle, a struggle for freedom or submission. The games played by the Ministry of Propaganda and the Amfissa Judicial Council, which for the umpteenth time rejected the comrade’s request for temporary release, clearly demonstrate that their “correction” against the declared enemies of the state and capital is extermination and torture.

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
