Responsibility claim for the attack on the OBA store

A T T A C K ! ! ! ! ! !

On the night of May Day we chose to attack the new store in the area of Exarcheia, at 45 Themistokleous Street, called OBA. We smashed its window and left the political message of our action with stickers saying that since the opening of this shop the homeless person who lived in front of its window was displaced. This action was our response to the displacement of the homeless man who had resided for years in the arcade in front of that store and who, after the store opened, was forced to seek shelter in another corner of the neighborhood. How those who are left over are displaced to make way for urban and middle-class shoppers is also shown by the fact that on the opposite side from the store we raided there was a housing squat, which the state evacuated some years ago, sealing the building to prevent its reoccupation.

Anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos denounces deep parastate with far-right tendencies

Our anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos releases a text denouncing the parastate and fascist actions of the Greek cops inflicted upon him, his family, friends and comrades. The comrade has been under surveillance on and off since his release three years ago by the fascist scum of the Anti-Terrorist Unit, which has now hit a new level since the beginning of the hunger strike by his friend and anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis, who has been subject to further imprisonment despite serving the required amount of time that would trigger his release.

Claim for Attack on District Court

aAAaaTttTTTtttaAAaaacK!!!1!1!!!!

Comrade Giannis Michailidis has been on hunger strike for almost a month now, aiming for his release, refusing to accept that political, agonistic and generally «undisciplined» prisoners will be left at the mercy of each service and each council as to when they «qualify» for release. We support the comrade’s struggle, knowing that it is not an individual solution, but is added to the more general attack we face inside and outside of prisons. We chose to attack, on 16/6, with paints at the Heraklion District Court, sending a signal of solidarity and strength to the comrade who continues his struggle and calling for a multiplication of aggressive movements until Giannis is released from prison. We support the international day of action on 24/6

Text of imprisoned comrades for Giannis Michailidis

Write a letter to an anarchist prisoner as soon as possible.

Comrade Giannis Michailidis, without renouncing his political identity, without signing statements of repentance, is fighting a long and difficult struggle for his freedom against the special regime of exception that the judicial process, bourgeois justice, has formed. Prison is a mechanism of coercion, the ultimate mechanism of control and recording, a system of surveillance and extermination, of forced transformation of character, but Giannis has endured. He has not forgotten, he has not broken down, and he is now fighting, not only for his personal freedom, but for all the imprisoned and unprisoned militants who are persecuted for ideological and political reasons

Strength and Freedom for Giannis Michailidis

WRITE TO AN ANARCHIST PRISONER TODAY, TOMORROW, EVERY DAY

Statement by Fotis Tziotzis

The path we have chosen to live is clear, without bargaining or retreat. It is the path of freedom, the path of dignity. The same path chosen by comrade C. Michailidis, who fights against them with the most precious means at his disposal, his own life. Looking them in the eye, he fights for the most precious thing in life, freedom.

From Dark Nights

24/6/2022

On the basis of the case of Giannis Michailidis and his hunger strike, we call for an international day of action against the preventive detention regime applied against political prisoners. For the case of Giannis Michailidis, we propose the political targeting of the structures of the Greek state and Greek companies and/or by highlighting the struggle of those who are in the hands of the state mafia with the same vengeance.

For the second time in a period of months, the Elaiona Prison Council has rejected the request of comrade Pola Roupa – who has already served 7 years in prison – for a permit to be able to see her son for a few days.

Solidarity posters at the Evelpidon Courts for G. Michaelides

lol, the aesthetics were on point, nice prank

A few days ago and while the anarchist comrade G. Michailidis had already been on hunger strike for a week, we decided to play a little bit with the limits of this world’s respectability. So we printed 25 posters with the aesthetics of normality. We knew – and our frequent walks through the places where they were hung confirmed this – that with this aesthetic our posters would stay a little longer hanging inside the courts because they carried on them the misery of wage slavery, the sad emptiness of careerism and the boredom of uniformity.

Gathering outside Hellenic Cosmos at the book presentation of Adonis Georgiades

On Wednesday, June 8th, an event/presentation of Adonis Georgiadis’ new book, entitled “Simple rhetoric lessons” will take place at Hellenic Cosmos. Also participating in the event are Makis Voridis, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Grigoris Psarianos, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos and Aris Portosalte. We decided to intervene and disrupt the smooth conduct of this presentation both in the light of solidarity and support for our comrade and hunger striker since 23/5 Giannis Michailidis, who remains imprisoned indefinitely, despite meeting the formal conditions of his release for all his sentences after 8. 5 years of detention, but also to show that this mob is only specialised in one kind of rhetoric and that is hate speech.

Giannis Michaildis – Announcement of a hunger strike for my release

Write an anarchist prisoner today!

from Athens Indymedia via Dark Nights

After 8.5 years in prison, after all these arbitrary actions against me, I decided to put an end to my 11 years of suffering, by putting a stop to the practice of pre-trial detention, or the additional punishment of escape through legal loopholes. After 5 more months of pre-trial detention, I start a hunger strike for my release. This choice, with the deep motivation of the much desired freedom, I intend to support it with the same consistency that I have supported my choices so far and for which I am being persecuted.
