Mexico – Communique for prisoners in Greece

[reposted from Culmine]
Time passes and everything stays the same… It could be for some like this, describing the reality that whips many of us, under a pessimistic pretext, like at the end of their conviction. Repression goes up a level, hate against the poor, destruction of the environment, exploitation of human dignity, assassinations of lives, like the small wild life that remains on this planet called Earth. Nothing has changed. Little we have influenced in the disruption of this reality, of this world that our free minds don´t belong to. If nothing has changed it´s perhaps for the lack of obligation, of courage and of conviction. For many this all seems like a game, to stand with a placard, yell a slogan, reform a law, only to alleviate their sense of guilt… but for many others this is serious, the thing here is, to what point one is seriously willing to go? The struggle needs obligation, it needs dedication, discipline, the struggle for the individual freedom as equal to that of the collective freedom. But what is wrong here is that many misunderstand these practices, confusing obligation with boredom, dedication with martyrdom and discipline with authoritarianism. The struggle doesn´t need bitter people, ready to die for the cause without living their lives fighting, without living with passion… and it doesn´t need temporary games, of fashion, of senseless acts. The struggle needs obligation and responsibility, obligation which is principally individual.
The enemy is strong, as strong as it has already demonstrated to us on many occasions, but us anarchists, authentic fighters, who are against injustice, racism, sexism, the domination of all forms of expression, we who are anti-authoritarian, we have our convictions and our desires to live, those which urge us to get up every morning with the fist held high, to confront a depressing reality, grey, boring and genocidal. These convictions are that which move us, which make us strong in front of the repressive assaults of the state, of which we are absolutely not afraid of, even when we know what it is capable of. Our conviction is the urge, the internal fire that takes us on our journey in the fight against power, in solidarity with out imprisoned compañ[email protected] in their dirty cells, tortured or killed by the jailers of the state: those for whom we have a bomb in our hands. Guarding it for the moment to give the most direct strike.
The whole world is in crisis. Each day, each moment, while we turn on the television, waiting to see some news that will be pleasing to us: riots in France, fascist journalists brought to justice in Greece, bombs in Chile, police killed in the black and immigrant neighbourhoods of the United State… etc. In each moment, in each instance capital and its power advances more, inundating the forests with urbanisation, inundating the lower class neighbourhoods with unnecessary luxuries, inundating the minds of the youth with the most absurd fashions, inundating the rest of society with a culture of misogyny and xenophobia, imposing the fear of the state and respect for the police. Terrorism is the order of the day.
Narco-insurgencia? What the fuck is that? The criminalisation of our struggle is knocking on the doors of the sleeping minds of society. Drug trafficking is our common enemy, or at least it has been converted into it. The sad part is that the majority of those in our struggle, sectors and movements ignore this problem, or don´t want to take it seriously. We aren´t willing to live in a Narco-State, which wouldn´t differentiate in any way to the current Capital-State. Even though the world is how it is, like many compañ[email protected] in Mexico and around the world, we maintain our convictions, willing to go to war until its final consequences, for life, for freedom, for dignity, for Anarchy!
Some of us are going to fall, we know this, we are going to die in the combat for liberty, but we are seriously willing to die fighting, to die living, because the struggle is our life, because it is that which makes us happy. We know that the enemy is strong, but we also know that our fight is just and necessary, authentic, nourishing with honesty, and wewholly trust our own intelligence.
We still have much to give, we still have many intentions to discharge the bullets of our guns against the federal police and the army. We have many bombs to detonate against genocidal and ecocidal corporations, against banks, against torture houses. We have many bullets for heads of power, for each judge, for each MP. We have many discourses; crude or appassionate. But also we have many dreams and utopias to realise, many things and reality to construct, many social relations to transform, many desires to love, much love for ourselves. We know that around the world there are also compañ[email protected], that give their lives in the combat against the indifference of the system, to liberate themselves and their people, they are fighting in the way that they prefer most, and how they most prefer to organise themselves: affinity groups, decentralised cells, armed anarchist groups, informal co- ordinations etc. We know that they are also convinced, we know that they are our compañ[email protected], we feel affinity with them. And it is for this, for them and for ourselves that this war will continue. For the struggle for social transformation, for a radical change, for the destruction of that which oppresses us, for Anarchy.
You mustn´t despair compañ[email protected] We have to be strategic. The war is present. The powerful and their bodies of protection of capital, politicians and torturers, are going to wish they were never born… it is one of our intentions that they will feel like this. Everything is going to explode, we have to prepare ourselves and maintain ourselves alert.
These words are dedicated to the compañ[email protected] of the group Revolutionary Struggle that are currency in prison: Panagiota Roupa, Kostas Gournas, Nikos Maziotis, to their conviction which gives us force. To our compañ[email protected] Giannis Dimitrakis, Konstantina Karakatsani, Lambros Foundas, and all those in Greece who are prisoners in this social war.
To the compañ[email protected] that proudly claim their participation in the Conspiration of the Cells of Fire. Compañ[email protected]: imprisoned or fallen- we will always have you present!
Even though prison is a depressing concept, you should know that there are free individuals who are fighting and that in each attack they direct against power, it is also in solidarity with you. The war is growing. The war for freedom is to the death and without truces with the enemy.
From Mexico to Greece: that the powerful who defend and perpetuate power tremble!

Statement of Solidarity from the Aotearoa NZ Anarchist Black Cross in relation to the violent attack on an activist from the United States on the 15th of November 2010 at the anti-IMF demonstration in Athens, Greece.
1. We denounce the actions of the Greek police in this case, and in particular the actions of Delta Force, whose brutal attack on the American woman was decidedly intentional and dangerously close to lethal.

2. We stand in solidarity with the comrades in Greece and around the world fighting the state, capital and all its repressive agents including the IMF and World Bank.

3. We are in support of whatever means of revolt or resistance arises to the police.

4. We demand an investigation into the incident.

5. We demand justice for our other Greek comrades, (including two dead in the past two years, Alexis and Lambros) who are severely repressed and beaten on a daily basis.

6. We seek an end to all prisons and freedom for all political prisoners.

More information, including photos of the injuries suffered, can be found on Indybay (http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/11/26/18665048.php)

Argentina: Demonstration at the Greek embassy in solidarity with Giannis Dimitrakis two years after the murder of Alexis Grigoropulos

(http://actforfreedomnow.blogspot.com/2010/12/argentina-demonstration-at-greek.html) http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tF1uomEycz8/TQuqGzqhrgI/AAAAAAAAECQ/av4DpW0XUzo/s640/oficio.jpg (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tF1uomEycz8/TQuqGzqhrgI/AAAAAAAAECQ/av4DpW0XUzo/s1600/oficio.jpg)

Under the call for international solidarity with comrade Giannis Dimitrakis abducted by the Greek state for a bank robbery, harassed and persecuted for his ideas and used as an excuse for a "witch hunt" against anarchists and anti-authoritarians, on December 6 (day of Giannis' appeal trial) a group of anarchists marched to the embassy of Greece in Buenos Aires, showing solidarity with comrade Giannis, and reporting on his situation with flyers and a banner that said freedom to Giannis Dimitrakis and all the imprisoned comrades in Greece. The demonstration lasted about 1 hour and the leaflet was read several times with a megaphone and traffic on av. santa fe interrupted. A passing federal patrol received an object with paint inside and on the windscreen, the same as a policeman and a window of a place.

BECAUSE SOLIDARITY HAS NO BORDERS, SOLIDARITY WITH OUR COMRADES IMPRISONED IN GREECE AND IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

Background: Beaten Up, Fitted Up, Don't Let Them Get Banged Up

Over a hundred people were arrested after a demonstration confronting the European Union summit, held in Thessaloniki in Greece back in 2003. Seven people were imprisoned and held on remand, including UK protester Simon Chapman. The prisoners began a hunger strike that lasted more than 50 days.

A massive worldwide solidarity campaign followed including demonstrations, direct action and occupations leading to all seven being released on bail. All the charges were eventually dropped.

Years later after appeals from the Prosecutor the charges were reinstated. The first case finally came before the Courts in January 2008 where Simon Chapman and three of the other defendants - Suleiman "Kastro" Dakdouk (Syrian origin), Fernando Perez Gorraiz (Spain) and Michaelis Triakapis (Greece) - were found guilty.

All of those accused maintain their innocence and video and photographic evidence clearly shows police planting a rucksack filled with petrol bombs next to Simon see the photo, and also see: http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=en&article_id=162765.

This didn't stop him receiving a prison sentences of more than eight years, with the other defendants all receiving over five years.

They will now face the Appeal Court again in January 2011, when they have the opportunity to appeal against their convictions. This means we have less than two months to build a campaign, raise vital funds and show true global solidarity to the defendants.

Solidarity Action with Conspiracy of Cells of Fire in İstanbul (Turkey) (http://325.nostate.net/?p=1583)
January 19th, 2011
“İstanbul, Turkey (16.01.2011) – In the night of 16th of January 2011 at 7 p.m. against the biggest one of the shopping centers in Istanbul, Cevahir AVM, there was an attack with fireworks. The 4 of the exploded 7 fireworks hit the entrance and the windows of shopping center. While fireworks begin to explode, there had been no injury except a little bit panic.
While the banks, shopping centers, fastfoods [outlets] and other part of the consuming culture reduce imagination and free-time to shit and debt, while our planet becomes unliveable because of the consumption and commodification, we see a little art-sabotage not inappropriate.
The actions that we took like this is for solidarity with our comrades who are now in hostages in Greek dungeons and with Conspiracy of Cells of Fire.
Insurrectionary greetings.”

Please spread, please forward! please come!
Legalisation now!
Equal rights now!
Abolish all borders!
We call for an action to express our solidarity on Tuesday 08/02/11, 16:30
in front of the greek embassy, Jägerstr. 54 (close to Gendarmenmarkt,
Berlin-Mitte)

Please spread, please forward! please come!
Legalisation now!
Equal rights now!
Abolish all borders!

The 25th of January is the day on which 300 migrants in Greece started a
hunger strike. Their demand is a collective legalisation of all the people
excluded from Greek society based on their status – be it asylum seekers,
not recognised refugees, illegalised people, exploited migrant labourers.
It is not the first hunger strike in Greece where human beings are forced
to use such a drastic measure to fight for their rights.
"We are migrant men and women from all over Greece. We came here due to
poverty, unemployment, wars and dictatorships. The multinational companies
and their political servants did not leave another choice for us than
risking 10 times our lives to arrive in Europe’s door. […] We came to
Greece and we are working to support ourselves and our families. We live
without dignity, in the darkness of illegalness so that employers and
state’s services can benefit from the harsh exploitation of our labour. We
live from our sweat and with the dream, some day, to have equal rights
with our Greek fellow workers. […] The answer to the lies and the cruelty
has to be given now and it will come from us, from migrant men and women.
We are going in the front line, with our own lives to stop this injustice.
We ask the legalization of all migrant men and women, we ask for equal
political and social rights and obligations with Greek workers."
(Assembly of migrant hunger strikers, January 2011)
It is not a particular Greek situation that the hunger strikers are
denouncing. It is the effect of the European policy of bordering and
exclusion. Accessing European territory is often a deadly venture.
Refugees and migrants are not welcome in Europe, and fences, border guards
and agencies, detention camps and deportation schemes have proliferated
only to keep the unwanted at distance. But the dreams and the desires of
the unwanted are stronger and enable many to scale the borders. The
presence of a migrant population in Europe is a reality and they have
come, and are coming to stay.
However, it is not only the fences and borders that are directed against
these coming citizens of Europe. In a Europe that promised a homogeneous
landscape of rights to its citizens in any country of the Union,
non-European migrants often find themselves to be second-class citizens,
or even outright excluded from political and social rights at large. This
creates an exploitable labour force and a disadvantaged and
disenfranchised part of the population. By creating such conditions,
Europe profits from the products of migrant labour. In the Southern
countries of the EU, the agricultural sector is heavily dependent on
migrant labour, while all over Europe, migrants form the backbone of many
service industries that are taken for granted.
But we are talking about human beings, with dreams and hopes, with plenty
of reasons to go and to move. But as they arrive in Europe, they find
themselves deprived of their rights as human beings, at the mercy of an
asylum system, and at the fringes of society. It is exactly this social
exclusion and disfranchisement, it is the lack of political and social
rights that leads to the often unbearable conditions that are then
denounced as the “migration problem”, used to justify repression, further
exclusion, and deportation.
Migration is neither a crime nor a problem, but the European Union’s
response is criminal and highly problematic. The 2008 European Pact on
Immigration and Asylum has cemented this inhuman policy pursued for many
years. While mentioning necessary advances in asylum and legal migration
legislation, it has foremost served as a political initiative to harden
the borders, further exclusion and deportation and is a declaration of war
on migration. It lengthily talks about the solidarity between the EU
member states, but it robbed especially the southern states of the only
sensible answer to migration: it contains an explicit ban on collective
legalisation.
The hunger strikers in Greece have decided to struggle for their rights,
and rightly so. In a climate of increased repression and anti-migrant
rhetoric, we have to act. Not only in Greece, all over Europe and indeed
all over the world, we need to struggle for equal rights for everybody. We
express our explicit solidarity with the hunger strikers in Greece, and we
call to activists all over Europe to join the cause for a complete and
unconditional legalisation.

Amsterdam, solidarity demo for the 300

[Sasha]

We are calling everybody to join the demonstration of solidarity with the 300 immigrant workers on hunger strike in Greece. We think is very important to express solidarity with these courageous people, their health condition is critical to the point that there might be casualties at any moment.
It is also necessary to inform the European public about the situation, as up to this point, it has either been downplayed or completely ignored by the mainstream media.


http://www.indymedia.nl/img/2011/03/74377.jpg


Οn January 25, 300 immigrants in Greece started the largest hunger strike Europe has ever seen, demanding something as simple as the recognition of their own existence. The hunger strikers are struggling for legalization and the consolidation of equal rights for immigrants. In this struggle, they risk the only thing they own, namely, their lives. Their health is in critical condition, while many of them have already been hospitalised.

On Thursday, March 10th people from all over the world will be expressing their support by participating to actions of solidarity that target the offices of the Greek Tourist Organisation.

We are calling everybody to join the demonstration on Thursday (10.03.) at 17:00!

Address:
Jonas Daniel Meijerplein ( De Dokwerker)
Amsterdam.

For a life of dignity, without fear and exploitation - Especially for the ones who are the most vulnerable to them!
No human being is illegal! - Solidarity is our weapon!

‘For your family, the moment you leave home to immigrate, you are already dead. They set the table every night and you are not there. I told them to morn me for 40 days and that’s it. And if we are going to die, we will sleep for ever in peace. But they, that refuse to give us a stamp, will never again sleep in peace’.

“Last night the windows of Nat West Bank on Mansfield Road were smashed out, and anti-capitalist graffiti was left on the side of the building. We did this because we refuse to submit to the will of capitalism. Every single day that goes our love and rage grow. Love for our friends and comrades around the world. Rage at the forces which try to cripple their spirit and oppress all efforts to find freedom in their lives. Nat West bank is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland who violently support the destruction of the earth and the prison system, they are merely one aspect of the system entrapping everything it comes into contact with. And this action was just one small gesture against all its claims.
Until capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy are destroyed we will find ways in which to fight back. We remember those who have fought before us and we search for those who will fight with us.
Love and Solidarity to Simos Seisidis and all those who are caged by this society and its culture.
Yesterday we sharpened our teeth, as we prepare to fight back.”

There are informations that last night autonomous groups attacked three banks with hammers and stones.
Article on indymedia says that in different areas in Berlin three banks from Sparkasse lost their windows in attacks with hammers and stones.
The article is this: https://linksunten.indymedia.org/de/node/36562

It says they did this because of the trial, starting against Simos Seisidis.

United Kingdom:


On the night of Monday 10 October we hit the bastard system again with more fiery anger. Two cars at the GP Motors dealership in Newnham, Cambridge, were arsoned – we hope the flames spread to the others, bringing a roaring inferno to the quiet leafy streets. No one was outside, the only sign of the middle class residents awake was the blue glow of TV screens from curtained windows! While the insurrectionary action cell had adrenaline pumping, joy in the heart, the moon shining bright above and the refreshing night air.

Shout out to the impatient and the bored shaking off passiveness and going on the attack against society!!

To the Greek uprizers and most especially the CCF, you fill us with strength, stay strong and stay unbowed!

And to the anarchists on the attack around the world, in Mexico, Chile, Spain, Indonesia, Russia, Argentina, Italy, and everywhere else – we are winning, winning against society’s cloying herd mentality and the meaningless lot set out for us in life.

As we know in our hearts, what we win is right here right now living with the head held high, the smile as we face a new day with dignity, the knowledge that whether or not the broader population upsurges against the imposed system and we have anything like the anarchist dream of a world of freedom and equality with no domination, we live without regrets as anarchists NOW.

Against the whole fucking disgusting cage of civilisation – wild destruction for total liberation!

Barcelona, October 17th, 2011

During this year, there have been several selective incendiary attacks so far on luxury cars in Sant Roc, slum of Badalona (Barcelona), some hidden by the Press, others not.

To be specific, in the morning of February 7th to 8th we burned two vehicles, on July 19th at 3.21 am two others, and on September 7th one more.

We claim and assume responsibility for all of them. The motive and the context is clear: we demand the immediate and unconditional release of the imprisoned members of Conspiracy of Cells of Fire.

From here to Nafplion and Koridallos.

Finland: (http://anarchistnews.org/node/19809)


There has been several attacks against police in southern Finland lately. 6th of November there were several petrol bombs against police station in Kerava, causing little blackened asphalt. 8th of December there was arson with two fuel canisters at police station in Kirkkonummi. Fire destroyed the entrance of the station. According to corporate media, there was a family living in an old janitor's apartment in the same building, and the fire was said to be at risk to spread there. Both attacks were claimed by anarchists.

In recent weeks there have been news reports about arson attacks against expensive cars. Tuesday 13th of December a communique posted to anarchist website takku.net claimed an arson against the SUV of an executive of AztraZeneca, a company involved in vivisection.


Most recent attack happened early in the morning of 16th of December in Helsinki, when two police vans were destroyed in a fire. A single van was worth more than 75 000 euros.

Soon after the fire, police say they arrested several people from a car nearby. According to police, the arrested are connected to the anarchist milieu. However, there is quite active traffic in the area, and it seems that the arrested were just coming from a party, since, according to police, "it looks like there was an influence of alcohol". Later in the day came the communique taking responsibility of the fire and implying that the arrested have nothing to do with it.

Kimmo Huhta-aho, the cop leading the investigation, said to corporate media that "this might be related to the wider spirit of these times. Authorities are falling and the respect and immunity for institutions are breaking down." He also said that "it seems that there is nothing sacred in the society anymore ... this is of course a kind of phenomenon in Finnish scale, that there is so much similar vandalism by fire, and it is against the better part of society and against police, the pillar of society."

Argentina:



Internationalism is an act of our subversive hearts.

Continuing within our own context of struggle and “experiences,” we unite with our comrades from the FIRE CELLS CONSPIRACY REVOLUTIONARY ORGANIZATION. Their words are so very close to us, like their actions.

We don’t need great reasons to set fire to opulence, social control, repression, and the treasures of the powerful.

We don’t need great reasons to blow up their valuable items and murderous institutions.

In the early morning of Sunday, February 5, we planted an incendiary/explosive device (consisting of two camping gas canisters and four bottles of naphtha) on one of the new PFA* patrol cars equipped with surveillance cameras. Nearly half the vehicle was burnt up, and all its windows were blown out.

Long live the brothers and sisters of the Fire Cells Conspiracy Organization!

We’re getting closer.

Oh for fuck's sake is that hoax still going around? It was embarrassing enough how the mainstream media took it up, but it being included in all the 'international CCoF IRF/FAI solidarity actions' lists was really painful.

The fires in the Rabobank tower were due to several malfunctions or accidents. Not only did the general intelligence service (AIVD) conclude this (who would jump on the case if it were true, milking it to the last drop as they did with the genuine (anarchist) torching of part of a detention centre construction site), the 'communique' is just bullshit.



The fascists from rabobank where investing in the arms industry(the arms that they are investing is also going to the police, military in the Netherlands, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Libya, Algeria and other country’s).
Rabobank calls this justifies action, and we also get Shell, ING, ABN-Amro, Randstad. All these mentioned fascists company’s of the system are paramount in their view that they justify the action.


I doubt anyone attracted to the nihilist anti-ideology around CCoF would bother with such attempts at justification or using completely misplaced terms like 'fascists' in this context. :rolleyes: It's most likely someone seeking to cause a fuss (with right or wrong intentions) which is blown out of proportions.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Honestly I'm skeptical of a lot of these reports, many of which don't even have any visual evidence included and rely on the communique of some wingnuts alone. I just post them all in here because AttackGr apparently isn't interested in updating this thread anymore.

Abstract of Stella Antoniou's letter
On 4/12/10, I was arrested outside my house..., in which I lived with my partner Kostas Sakkas. They kept me for 3 days in detention without stating the reason. They did not allow me, nor my corespondents to get in contact with a lawyer. We were kept for 6 days in the cells of the Greek police headquarters with the lights on for 24 hours, without windows, making us lose the sense of time. When I refused to give my fingerprints and my DNA sample they stripped me by force and stole my shirt, apparently to get it.

Finally, on 10/12 I was detained in women's prison ‘’Korydallos’’ as member of an organization whose name and actions neither I, nor the prosecutors knew or named. Firstly, I would like to clarify that I do not recognize the term ‘'terrorist organization’' as the state names the insurgents. However, I clearly recognize a criminal organization(Address: Special Violence Crimes-State organization)... The members of this organization definitely know that there can be no armed organization by 6 people who were not meeting with each other, and who actually did not know one another. I am part of the anarchist movement and I am proud of my involvement and of my action in it...

I think that my prosecution as well as these of other insurgent people, aim to create a state of fear and REAL TERRORISM as part of the Greek State’s plan, during the socio-political instability that we are facing, strengthened now by the economic crisis. However, these seem rather few in comparison with the long continuous action of the criminal cabal I mentioned before(Address Special Violence Crimes): they raise their weapons against 15 year old children or people who do not stop at roadblocks, they shoot in the back fugitive comrades and even kill insurgents. Now that public patience run out and various parts of the society began to rebel, the state ceases to maintain even the pretense rudimentary. As a recent highlight we can refer to the custody of an anarchist comrade, in connection with only one aggravating evidence: she referred to anarchist prisoners as political prisoners! They are trying to deprive us all even from our right to state the most important part of our existence, our political identity.

They try to destroy the most radical part of this society by capturing fighters, as they believe that they can deprive us from the one thing that nobody can take from us:

Our Passion for Struggle, Solidarity and Freedom...”
