Taking responsibility for the paints attack on the Kipseli Municipal Market

From Act for Freedom Now!

In recent years, a dense surveillance and control network has been created, especially in central neighborhoods, which jeopardizes our anonymity in public spaces, squares, and neighborhoods. This network primarily consists of security cameras, both public and private (in shops, entrances to houses and apartment buildings, etc.), which violate our right to privacy to a very large extent. This is complemented by the incessant patrols and checks by countless cops in our daily lives.Another example is that of the Municipal Market on Fokionos Negri Street in Kypseli, which has recently been “secured” by a collection of cameras on each side, which of course record the entire surrounding area. The Municipal Market of Kypseli was in ruins for many years until 2006, when it was occupied by local residents with the aim of meeting the needs of the neighborhood, operating in a self-organized and direct democratic manner.

Who Are Putting Our Lives at Risk?

From Abolition Media by Marianna Manoura

As an inmate, you come face-to-face with the judicial apparatus and its bureaucracy at regular intervals, whether you like it or not. Documents that are either late or never come, documents that you don’t expect and turn up or look forward to and don’t come. Folders are closed, opened, plugs added, categories removed. There prevails, especially in the sub-judicial regime, a continuous waiting which sometimes gives motivation and sometimes causes tension. As far as our own case is concerned, the judicial system remains silent. After 13 months, the file was just closed after negative release decisions with ridiculous and non-existent justifications preceding it. The judicial mechanism, as it usually does in such cases, unfolds its vindictiveness in our case while it turns its gaze to the simultaneous systemic crimes.

Victory to the mass hunger strike for Palestine Action – Let’s crush the alliance 1+3

From Act for Freedom Now by Dimitris Chatzivasiliadis (Greece)

Since the 2nd of November, a rolling collective hunger strike has been taking place in  British prisons against the UK’s involvement in the colonial war in Palestine and the  crackdown on the Palestine Action organisation. Thirty-three prisoners have committed themselves in advance, Amu Gib and Qesser Zuhrah were the first to start, and gradually the  number of strikers is increasing. The struggle inside the prisons has already gone international, with the participation of comrades Massimo Passamani and Luca Dolce (Italy).

Alexis Grigoropoulos — One of Us

From Bentley

Seventeen years have passed since the murder of the anarchist student Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarcheia by the cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis, at the intersection of Messolonghi and Tzavella. The location, as well as what happened in the following hours and days, was not coincidental. Already before the bloody night of December 6, 2008, Exarcheia was a reference point for all those who wanted to question authority and the apparent omnipotence of the state and capital. The countless clashes with the forces of repression at the Polytechnic, the square, at Messolonghi Square and in every corner of the neighbourhood, the squats, and all the social and class struggles that took place in Exarcheia together composed a mosaic of resistance and social anti-violence against the voracious engine of power that wants to destroy every dream and desire of those below. Thus, Alexis, a 15-year-old anarchist comrade, from a very young age sought the path of resistance in the narrow streets of Exarcheia, rejecting forever the path of inaction and passivity. Exarcheia generously gave him the stones, the bottles and the tools to do his part in the social and class war and to fight alongside the oppressed. And in this role he was murdered, as a fighter who already from his very young years had chosen the side of history that demands a world of equality, solidarity, the realm of societal revolution and anarchy.

Text by Anarchist Charisis Foivos and Z.K.

From Act for Freedom Now! - Athens, Greece

The purpose of this text is to inform the wider public about the stifling surveillance we have been subjected to by the “anti-terrorist” service over the last two months. However, it also serves as a clear warning that, one way or another, this blatant and intense violation of our personal lives and privacy will no longer be tolerated. Starting from the premise that in the public arena, priority should be given to fighters whose situation is far worse than ours, such as the dozens of political prisoners, the hundreds of persecuted men and women, the thousands beaten by the forced of repression, which in our country operate as gangs that leave battered people in their wake, we chose not to publicize our case until now.
