fire to the prisons

From Act for Freedom Now! - Athens, Greece

For the past year and a half, our comrades Marianna Manoura and Dimitra Zarafeta have been imprisoned behind the bars of Korydallos, accused of participation in a terrorist organization, awaiting their trial. On October 31, 2024, an explosion in an apartment cost the life of our friend and comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris and seriously injured Marianna. This marked the beginning of the “Ampelokipoi case” and the subsequent witch hunt against anarchists. Despite being severely injured, Marianna was arrested and taken to prison just one day after her surgery, while Dimitra turned herself in to the Greek authorities a few days after the incident (comrades Dimitris, Nikos Romanos, and A.K. were also arrested). The imprisonment of our comrades is the result of yet another poorly constructed scenario by the anti-terrorism police, aimed at targeting anarchist action and thought, repressing solidarity, criminalizing comradely relationships, and spreading a climate of fear and repress anyone who chooses to struggle.

In the amerikkkan hellscape our lives are deeply embedded in the infrastructure of confinement. This is why we chose to attack the security van. Small actions like these can build capacity to be able to break down the prison walls.

Admin note: both of the following reportbacks from September 7th were submitted anonymously. They both note that no arrests were made at the noise demo. At the time of publication, one day after the noise demo, Olympia Jail Support reports that one person was arrested at their home, remained silent when questioned about the demonstration, and was quickly released.

From Il Dubbio

If the path were really to pass off Cóspito as 'crazy' in order to impose medical treatment on him that he has said several times that he wants to refuse, and if the State accepted this perspective, it would mean violating the only space of freedom that Cóspito has left, it is say, his habeas corpus. It would be true state violence.

On Tuesday 5 July a rally was called against the release of Korkoneas. The meeting was called at 20.00 at the intersection of Messolongiou and Tzavella. The response of the people was quite large, and it was decided to hold a march through the streets of Exarchia. The pulse was strong from start to finish, and slogans were constantly shouted, with the aim of demonstrating that “justice” is clearly class-based: On the one hand, it releases the cop-killer of Alexandros, by decision of the Lamia Court of Appeal, the same court of appeal that on the other hand deprives the anarchist hunger striker from 23/5, Giannis Michailidis, of his freedom.

We claim that the ATM sabotage action in the early hours of June 11 in Solo, Central Java and the vandalism in Sidoarjo, East Java were the individual actions of our conspirators.

Political text by Georgia Voulgari, a prisoner in the women’s prison of Korydallos.

I proudly declare myself anarchist, proud that in this rotten society, the society of submission and spectacle, I did not bow my head before exploitation and power and chose to stand next to comrades who, by supporting the multiform struggle, also wrote their own page in the revolutionary historical memory. So far, living my new life next to them, in squats, through their common struggles for freedom, I learned what solidarity and comradeship is, what it means to give everything for what you believe in even if you are going to lose your freedom. I take the political responsibility that is due to me for my complicity in the incendiary attack that took place on 8/2 at the Foundation for National and Religious Reflection. A fragmentary action, which was not carried out by an organisation, namely the Anarchist Action organisation of which I am accused as a member, but was motivated by the desires and anger of two people against religious obscurantism, patriarchy and state power.

Full title: Eric King Faces Retaliation and Bullying from Bureau of Prisons as He Takes the Stand to Defend Himself

On day three of the trial of political prisoner Eric King, it came to light that the cell he is being held in at FCI Englewood was flooded, destroying his personal property and legal documents. Attorney Sarah Alvarez, a member of King’s legal defense team, relayed to presiding Judge Martinez that the corrections officers at the facility communicated to Mr. King that they had observed a bird fly into his cell, a guard had to chase it, and somehow toilet paper ended up in the slightly leaking sink, causing the flood damage. Judge Martinez made a statement to the court that he had never seen such issues in all his years on the bench and that it is far reaching to say it was not intentional on the part of the Bureau. “Now a bird is being blamed? The BOP is setting itself up for a civil lawsuit,” Judge Martinez noted.
