End of the hunger strike of prisoner Sakis Pikassis (Greece)

End of the hunger strike

extract

Today, 20/9/2024, I have decided to stop the hunger strike that I started on 8/7, demanding my return to Korydallos prison so that I can continue my studies at the university as I am entitled and participate in the examinations of the electronic engineering department of PADA and IEK Korydallos.

So I decided, fearing permanent neurological damage, to end the hunger strike without knowing whether my request would be granted.

Anti-Repression Talks #1: Preparing for Physical Surveillance

From No Trace Project

The No Trace Project is launching a new initiative, the Anti-Repression Talks, to encourage discussion of surveillance and security issues within and between informal anarchist networks, on an international level. We believe that many anti-repression practices are more powerful when they are carried out across a network, rather than only by specific affinity groups.

The Anti-Repression Talks will be a series of sessions, each on a different topic, and each lasting three months. During a session, participants are encouraged to form local study groups with people they trust to discuss the topic of the session — we provide resources and discussion points to help kickstart those discussions. At the end of a session, an international online chat takes place, where participants can anonymously meet to discuss their thoughts and findings. After a session, its findings are published on the No Trace Project website, including any materials contributed by study groups and a summary of the online chat.

The first session, Anti-Repression Talks #1, will address the topic of preparing for physical surveillance and will take place in October, November, and December 2024, with the online chat taking place on January 4, 2025. The findings will be published here.

Physical surveillance

In the past decades, the surveillance capabilities of State actors have greatly diversified, thanks in part to new technological developments such as video surveillance, mobile phones and DNA sampling. Despite this, physical surveillance — the direct observation of people or activities for the purpose of gathering information — is still widely used by State actors, in particular in cases where other surveillance techniques are not effective. Our Threat Library references examples of the use of physical surveillance against anarchists.

Alfredo out of 41 bis. Hands off the anarchist publications. Solidarity gathering on the occasion of the preliminary hearing for the Sibilla operation (Perugia, Italy, October 10, 2024)

Alfredo out of 41 bis
Hands off the anarchist publications

On October 10th is set the preliminary hearing for Sibilla proceeding, which in November 2021 led to an operation targeted mainly against the anarchist paper ‘Vetriolo’, an operation intended as a repressive warning against revolutionary anarchist publications. On that date, an indictment will be requested for 12 anarchists on 19 counts, almost all of them aggravated by the purpose of terrorism.

In order to attack anarchists and revolutionary paths, the State rants about ‘inciting’ and ‘orienting’ capabilities in such an ambit as the anarchist movement, which has always been a proponent of an obstinate and radical autonomy of thought and action. An assertion that goes hand in hand with having supported in the Scripta Manent trial convictions for ‘political massacre’ in the country where the massacres, the real ones, have always been perpetrated by the State apparatus.

(Chile) Communique of Anarco-Nihilist Vegan Straight Edge Prisoners of the Susaron Case

September 5, 2024

(Note from Informativo Anarquista) It’s important that the words of incarcerated comrades abandon the exclusivity of Instagram. Dozens of communiques or words are lost in the immediacy of the excessive virtual “content creation” of social networks. It’s paradoxical that comrades who are processed, incarcerated and who have taken responsibility for actions that were already claimed through anarchist counterinformation pages can only be heard and seen on social media, to the detriment of anarchist projects resolved in their commitment to internationalist dialogues. Has a vacuum been created between action claims and the words of incarcerated comrades, and are these valued differently? Can it be that the former has a routine space in counterinformation projects, while the latter have a monopoly on Instagram? We invite you to break the walls of the social networks.

Communique of Anarco-Nihilist Vegan Straight Edge Prisoners of the Susaron Case

“For those who fight with the enthusiasm that characterizes those who go against the current.”

Today in this cold season, still locked up in this small phosphorous box that aims to hide the beautiful immensity of the world, we continue to rise each morning to confront the symbolic and graphic cold morning shower of dawn in prison. Washing our bodies and teeth, with the conviction that this routinized morning dagger in the brain, cold like punishment, isn’t something that will be drawn out for all eternity.

Today in this cold season, still locked in this small matchbox that seeks to hide the beautiful immensity of the world, we continue to get up every morning to face the symbolic and graphic morning cold shower of dawn in prison. Washing our body and teeth, with the conviction that that routine morning dagger in the skull, cold as grief, is not something that will last for eternity.

Every morning taking a deep breath and weighing the love for our convictions, which allows us to stay alive and firm in this place built and designed to break people.

Text by hunger striker Thanasis Pikassis, and emergency update on the hunger strike, from 8/7/24 (Greece)

Emergency update on the hunger strike, from 8/7/24 Thanasis Pikasis

Today 11/9, and while the fighter prisoner Thanasis Pikasis is going through the 61st day of hunger strike, he developed chills, fever temperature and severe body pains. In repeated attempts to call for a doctor by both himself and another prisoner who heard the shouts no one responded immediately. He tried to get up and fell down unable to get up again. Then came a guard-torturer who kicked him and stomped his head on the floor saying “I don’t understand hunger strikes”.

From the service, he was given 3 reports about this incident, as a result of which the warden visited him, saying that the cameras would be checked. When the nurse came and because of the shivering and the very intense pains especially in the bones of the legs, she gave him 2-3 dextrose injections, a sedative and painkiller injection so that he could recover and calm down.

VICTORY IN THE HUNGER STRIKE FROM 8/7 OF TH. PICASSIS
NEITHER CRIMINAL OR POLITICAL RIOT AND FIRE IN EVERY PRISON

Assembly of Solidarity to the imprisoned, fugitives and persecuted militants

Text by hunger striker Thanasis Pikassis

Today having reached 55 days of hunger strike, and lost 55.8 kilos, I declare from the prisons of Agios Stefanos Patras, that the rightness of my struggle is clearer than ever, I will continue this struggle against the degradation of my rights as a prisoner to the end and now being at a limit point, the only thing that will stop me is either death or justice.

There are moments where if you turn the other cheek to a blow, you are not the only one who gets hit, but you give space to arbitrariness, fascism in the legalisation of prisons becoming the property of corrupt guards, politicians and managers.

The right to education is sacred. Not one step back. To the end.

Thanasis Picassis on hunger strike from 8/7

Greetings to those in solidarity outside the walls and the supporters prisoners who keep me strong!
