FIRE TO PRISONS, STATES AND PALACES – DOWN WITH PATRIARCHY
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.
