Incendiary Stroll at Aplicación Highschool for a Black November
On Thursday, September 26, masked students released a banner, raised barricades and confronted the COP present with molotov cocktails, in memory of all of those who fell in the struggle on September 11.
Following are some records:
On 21/9, the Pakistani worker Mohamed Kamran Asik is tortured and murdered in the police station of Agios Panteleimonas by the uniformed murderers who staff one of the most notorious, sweat-soaked and blood-soaked hellhouses in Athens. Mohammed’s murder is the result of the repressive strategy of the state against the exploited and the oppressed, especially the most undervalued part of the multicultural working class. A strategy that remains regardless of the government while currently being sharpened by New Democracy party. The brutality revealed through the photos made public of Mohammed’s abused body is not a new but a systematic practice. In a political juncture when capitalism has nothing to offer or promise, when more and more people are to be devalued, marginalized and crippled, Mohammed’s abused body is a trophy in the hands of cops and fascists.
In the city center, the area of Agios Panteleimonas is perhaps the clearest illustration over time of the organic confluence of the fascist assault storm troopers, the mafia, the police and the “residents’ committees” which, as communicating vessels, attempted to tear down a multicultural neighborhood with radical roots and antifascist reference points. The multicultural proletariat is condemned to survive on starvation wages and in conditions of undeclared work, on the streets of drug addicts, in the concentration camps for immigrants and refugees, in the prisons and detention centers of the police stations, in the cardboard boxes of the homeless, in the psychiatric hospitals. It was in this system that Mohammed was murdered. In the system of capitalist inequalities, poverty, war and police violence.

Political violence is a delicate topic—and not only because of how easy it is to find ourselves getting criminalized for conversations among comrades about violence.
Violence is something to take very seriously, since how we choose to use or respond to it shapes our struggles and ourselves. I do believe violence changes us, for better or for worse. We can’t choose to escape the violence of capitalism, and likewise the violence of colonization, racism, and patriarchy is inescapable for many. We can, however, choose how to use violence in our struggles against those forces.

[The claim for this fire on railway signal cables in Mettmann, in the district of Düsseldorf (North Rhine-Westphalia), was written in rhyme, which we have not attempted to render. Incidentally, this same group, the “Commando Angry Birds”, had already carried out several sabotages against rail traffic: one in Düsseldorf in January 2024, and five others in Düsseldorf, claimed in May 2023
[Switch off] Communiqué no. 3 – Rail sabotage
Silence falls over the forest, the tawny owl raises its voice,
/ a train whirrs from left to right, making him lose his senses completely.
“What’s all this noise doing here at night? You’ve gone crazy!” / Let’s forgive the owl this language, it’s affecting him personally…

A69 freeway: a structure destroyed by fire last night in Saïx next to the ZAD, firefighters and gendarmes pelted with stones
La Dépêche/France Bleu, August 23, 2024 (extract)
An impressive fire destroyed a structure on the A69 freeway construction site in Saïx (Tarn), between Castres and Toulouse, on Thursday night, in the Parc du Dicosa, opposite the “cal’arbre” ZAD. At around 1:30 a.m., several groups of hooded individuals threw stones at the area, forcing the security guards to take cover. According to our information, a third group set fire to the structure. The Atosca dealership reports the use of several Molotov cocktails.
In any case, this massive formwork, a wood and metal structure, burst into flames. The fire department and gendarmes intervened, but were met with a barrage of stones. Law enforcement officials say there were “around thirty individuals, probably from the neighboring ZAD”. Operations to extinguish the fire were thus delayed, and the blaze, which was nearly under control by 6:30 a.m., was still in progress at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, with firefighters even having to return to the site.

Position text of prisoner Sofoclis Toutziarakis for the case of 1/18/2023 in Patras
Ever since my teenage years I have been active in the anarchist space. The case for which I was remanded on January 18, 2023 concerns acts of robbery, theft, and possession of explosives. The 7 robberies attributed to me are in 3 banks, 3 EL.TA. (Post offices), 1 supermarket.
The first thing I would like to touch on with this text is the obsession with which I was treated by the court and which resulted in my sentence of 23 years’ prison. An obsession that has to do with the fact that I’m an anarchist. The magnitude of the mock trial that initially convicted me and a co-accused of all the robberies, is such that various negative elements for our persecutors – which strengthen our position of non-existent evidence – were thus simply and without logic bypassed.
At the same time, some other important absurd events happened:
a) The legal passport of the husband of the owner of the house I was renting for a few days was confiscated during the police raid. Apparently, this had been forgotten there. Although that became clear, the president managed to judge it illegal and even impose a penalty on me.
Dead immigrant at the Agios Panteleimonas police station after a beating.
This particular police station is known for torture and sexual and racial harassment within the police station. Let us recall that in this particular department a 46-year-old Bangladeshi man died after a beating. On the document’s blog there are photos of the beating of the immigrant of Pakistani origin. The case is important and the Greek police is exposed. 1) why was the immigrant missing for a week and was being transferred from police station to police station 2) why does it state that the immigrant was homeless and had no papers, when this is not the case?
The fact that the man’s body was found in the only place of the AT Agios Panteleimonas where there were no cameras is sensational. The immigrant also passed through the Omonia police station known for the many murders and torture of immigrants. There are articles on the internet about the disgraceful things that have happened in this section. The oldest murder mentioned above was in 2013.

Thanasis Pikasis has been on hunger strike since 8/7, fighting for his return to Korydallos prisons so that he can continue his studies and receive visits from his family.
On 9/11, while he was in the Korydallos prison hospital trying to contact a doctor, he was physically attacked by a bodyguard with threats such as, “strikes do not pass here”.
As a minimal act of solidarity in his just fight and resistance to his vengeful transfer, his torture and the State’s attempts to exterminate him, on the morning of Friday 13/09 we carried out an intervention with paint, tricks and sprays in the political office of the ND (political party) deputy and Deputy Minister of Culture, Iasonas Fotila, in front of the Patras courts.

[On Sunday night, July 29, a double sabotage of cables along railroad lines in Bremen and Hamburg paralyzed some of Germany’s high-speed trains. This attack was already published about here, to which we must now add another identical sabotage in Berlin on Thursday night, August 1, at around 3 a.m., in the Charlottenburg district. According to the German railway company Deutsche Bahn, several switches and signals are out of order between Berlin’s main station and Berlin-Spandau, following the arson of several meters of cable on a bridge, causing hundreds of cancellations and delays to both regional and high-speed trains, which will last at least through the weekend.
On August 2, a communiqué was published on de.indymedia claiming responsibility for the attacks on the railway network in Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin, which we translate from the German here, and which sends greetings to the unexpected delegation and saboteurs who successively lit the Olympic flame in the cable shafts of the SNCF, then in those of the internet network and cell towers…
Attacking Deutsche Bahn infrastructure – sabotaging war and colonialism
This week, incendiary attacks on the infrastructure of Deutsche Bahn took place in Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin. The breakdowns caused by these attacks will hopefully create effective interruptions in the capitalist routine. Like no other company, the state-owned railway corporation is the backbone and vital arteries of the German economy, providing the fuel that feeds and drives it: every day, tons of raw materials plundered from all over the world are transported by rail via its freight branch, DB Cargo, to the workshops and factories of the major steel, chemical and automotive industries, to satisfy this society’s insatiable appetite for consumer goods and construction materials.
At the same time, we are in the midst of a vast process of transformation, from the age of fossil fuels to a highly technological, electrified world, which the Federal Government is selling to us under the misleading term “energy transition”. Deutsche Bahn logistics plays a key role in this process. For example, it is currently developing transport solutions for hydrogen and lithium batteries to stimulate the development of a “green” economy in Germany, and make the country attractive to companies wishing to locate and invest in new technologies. Tesla’s gigafactory in Berlin-Grünheide is perhaps the best-known and most controversial example to date of this deceptive folly. It goes hand in hand with the emergence and expansion of extractivist projects and new transport routes for coveted resources such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, copper or silicon – essential for supposedly sustainable technologies – from mines to processing plants and production sites. While politics and industry hope for new markets and lucrative business, this development means one thing above all for the planet: progress towards its widespread destruction. Now, with its green label and in the name of climate protection, Deutsche Bahn is at the forefront of this movement.
