Informative announcement:

Since October 2019, after my injury during the expropriation of a local state casino store in Cholargos (Athens), I went into a state of flight from the grid of preventive and penal repressive control. A consequence of my injury was the discovery of a set of illegal tools of resistance and the revelation of my relationship with the guerrilla organization Revolutionary Self-Defense. As an outlaw, I made public my political responsibility for the intended reconstruction of the guerrilla struggle, starting with the example of the organization Revolutionary Self-Defense. Reversing the condition of political isolation of the one who escapes from extortionate conventions, an isolation that the state pursues and which in turn serves the state (wherever it may come from), I participated to the maximum in the public dialogue of the movement, with a view to the evolution of the revolutionary class struggle.

The period of exile was a transitional attempt to reposition myself in the global socio-political space of the resistance with the aim of fleeing forward. At first, the breach of the embedded obstacles was not achieved. I remained trapped in an isolation related to the collective impasses of the Greek movement.

Terrorists and bandits are the States & capitalists

On 12 June 2019, the anarchist comrades Kostas Sakkas, Giannis Dimitrakis and Dimitra Syrianou were arrested during an anti-terrorist operation in Thessaloniki. The comrades were abducted with summary procedures and taken to the GADTH (ΓΑΔΑ) where they were isolated for hours, hands tied behind their backs and hoods on their heads. The anti-terrorist operation concerned the attempted expropriation of a money transport to supply the ATM machine located inside the AHEPA – a case for which the comrades were taken before the prosecutor on charges of robbery with conspiracy for Gannis and Kostas and simple complicity for Dimitra. At the same time, searches were carried out in houses both in Thessaloniki and Athens and dozens of personal belongings of both the arrested and some of their friends were seized. At the end of the interrogation process, the first 2 comrades were remanded in custody while the third comrade was temporarily released under restrictive conditions.

From the very first moment the media, in close cooperation with the cops and the judges, began slandering our comrades. Engaging in yet another headhunt, they constantly reproduced photos of comrades Sakka and Dimitraki, and through scare stories prejudged the arrested. They spewed mud and bile for supposedly having struck a new cell that would be supplying money to the urban guerrilla, at the reappearance of the revolutionary fund and the robbers in black, in order to socially legitimize not only the comrades’ arrest but the repression in general against acts of revolutionary solidarity such as expropriation.

On 16/9/19 they were sentenced in the court of first instance, G. Dimitrakis to 11.5 years , K. Sakkas to 7 years and 10 months and 2 years to D. Syrianou. On 6/9/21 our comrades will be brought once again bound and imprisoned into the halls of the bourgeois justice system where the court of appeal of the case is being heard, for the choices of struggle they have made over the years, for all these choices that constitute the whole of the tools of confrontation and struggle with the State and capital. In the face of this new repressive blow, we will all stand proudly with our comrades.

Freedom to comrades G. Dimitrakis and K. Sakkas who are inprison for the expropriation of the money transport at AHEPA.

Solidarity to comrade Dimitra Syrianou who is being prosecuted for the same case

No one alone in the hands of the State

Terra Incognita

In the Wing-1, where the rebels from Turkey are being held, on 15 August 2 prisoners tested positive, and less than a week later 14 more tested positive. The prison administration is responsible for this situation. Because they have no prevention policy against Covid-19. On August 15 where the 2 prisoners were diagnosed positive, they did not take any prevention measures, on the contrary they continued to hold all the prisoners together.

On August 17, several more prisoners were infected. But they only ran five tests, because there were no diagnostic kits. Of the five, three tested positive. After that, they said that the quarantine sections were full and they locked everyone in their cell and said we are in general quarantine. On August 20, after continued pressure from the prisoners, they were tested and 14 more were diagnosed positive.
