We were horrified to learn of the explosion on October 31, where Kyriakos X. died and Marianna M.. was seriously injured. Our hearts stand by the people who were close to them and who now have to deal with severe repression while grieving.

We are angry and disgusted by the actions of the Greek state, which immediately began to take advantage of this tragedy to attack the anarchists. The state’s efforts to isolate and silence our comrades and break the bonds between us will strengthen them and further spread the ideas and struggles of our comrades.

The desire to spread rebellious ideas rips like a wind, uncontrollable and unconceivable, beyond borders, laws and every attempt to intimidate us.

A seed of these ideas was carried from Athens to this forest and will be cultivated by all of us here as part of our struggle against domination and for the liberation of all living beings.

Strength for the long struggle ahead of us to Marianna, Dimitra, the other accused and to all those who are close to them, who care and fight alongside them.

From London to Athens Solidarity to the Political Prisoners Marianna, Dimitra, Dimitris, Hands Off Romanos, Fallen Anarchist Kyriakos Forever Alive

On November 18, comrade Nikos Romanos is also arrested in connection with the same events. Nikos Romanos held his friend and comrade Alexis Grigoropoulos in his arms as he took his final breath on December 6, 2008, assassinated by the bullet of a special state officer.

In the years that followed, the Greek anti-terrorist agency repeatedly targeted Nikos and other anarchists, imprisoning them with fabricated evidence in an effort to suppress the blooming anti-authoritarian social movements. Nikos Romanos spent years as a political prisoner, held hostage by the state, before being released in recent years.
