Untuk mengenang Snizana Paraskevaidou, kombatan tak tergoyahkan

Pada pagi hari tanggal 3 Mei 2025, pukul 5 pagi, Snizana Paraskevaidou kehilangan nyawanya akibat ledakan prematur dari sebuah alat peledak yang sedang ia pasang di luar cabang Bank Nasional Yunani di Thessaloniki. Kematian tragis dari rekan seperjuangan ini memicu gelombang besar teror-media, yang sejauh ini telah mengakibatkan dua penangkapan serta penggeledahan sel-sel lingkar anarkis Fotis Tziotzis. Kami mengenang dan mengakui Snizana sebagai seorang kombatan yang gugur dalam pertempuran, yang nama dan kehidupannya yang tak akan pernah kami lupakan.

Di lapisan bawah kota Thessaloniki, hidup adalah perjuangan brutal. Begitu pula bagi Snizana, yang berasal dari latar belakang Georgia dan tumbuh di distrik kelas pekerja kota ini — tempat yang mencerminkan perang sehari-hari yang kita semua hadapi untuk keluar dari kemiskinan jalanan. Ia memiliki keberanian untuk membalikkan rasa takut ke pihak negara, polisi dan kaum kaya. Continue reading “Untuk mengenang Snizana Paraskevaidou, kombatan tak tergoyahkan” →

IT: Onore alla memoria combattiva di Snizana Paraskevaidou

On the 3rd of May 2025, at 5 am in the morning, Snizana Paraskevaidou lost her life because of the premature detonation of an explosive device she was placing outside a branch of the National Bank of Greece in Thessaloniki. The tragic death of this comrade lead to a widespread media terror-lust and so far, two arrests and the search of the cell of imprisoned anarchist comrade Fotis Tziotzis. We recognise and remember Snizana as a fighter and a heroine who died in battle, whose name and life is not forgotten.

In the underbelly of Thessaloniki, life is a brutal struggle. It was for Snizana who came from a Georgian background that emanated from the working-class districts of the city, that emanates the everyday war that we all face there, to climb out of the poverty of the streets. She had the courage to make the fear change sides against the state, against the cops and the wealthy.

Our memories of her are of a female comrade with strength who we met when she was supporting the comrades in courts and in prisons or the moments on the barricades where she emboldened all of us. She was there in Exarcheia rioting until we dropped exhausted in countless battles over a decade. One moment we will always remember is her alongside us all armed to the teeth on the roof of the Thessaloniki university for another 6th December.

It was no surprise to us when she was imprisoned for possession of a kalashnikov.* She knew how to do the essential, how to take the brutality of life and weaponise it. She had the ability to see with open eyes, and she always had time for others, she always cared for fellow comrades. Snizana always had an ear for the next moment of attack, which was directed by her rage against this existent system. An insumountable rage that never compromises, that never snitches, that goes face-to-face with authority with a dagger gripped in the teeth. Even if she fell in the act, she will live on in us.

We didn’t see her for some years. We parted two ways on those streets where we met but we will never let her be forgotten because the insurrection continues. She has inspired us with the same rage to continue it.

For the immediate attack against capitalism, the state and all forms of domination.

DN Note

*We would like to make a correction, that Snizana was never proven to have been carrying any weapons, she was only accused of it. She was eventually acquited of the charge and was only held by the authorities not actually imprisoned.

Greece: A few words about the ‘witch hunt’ of the Counterterrorism by anarchist comrade Fotis Tziotizis

Posted on 2024/03/05 - 2024/03/05 by darknights

I no longer cease to be amazed and wonder what the police and journalists come up with for cases that disrupt their peace. I have seen and read a lot these days about the alleged major operation of the DAEEV (Directorate for Dealing with Special Violent Crimes ΔΑΕΕΒ, Anti Terrorist) and the dismantling of a dangerous terrorist organization.

Vile absurdities were uttered, scenarios of science fiction. They even went so far as to talk about payments between those involved in order to create the narrative of organized crime and dangerous individuals. False information was published concerning the 6 detainees, using previous conversations from people who had absolutely no connection with each other, thus creating an atmosphere of confusion and misdirection.

I have been portrayed as an obsessive, dangerous person who teeters between two worlds: the political and the criminal, as they call it, with the sole objective of seeking revenge against the prosecuting authorities. What I want to say to all the Pretenderis and Evangelatos of this world is that, besides being ridiculous, you are also foolish because you are trying to convince the world of the profile of a person that serves you and at the same time how well your government, which has been feeding you all these years, is doing its job. You are the very same garbage that covers up state murders like in Tempi and you try to shield all the responsible friends of yours and primarily the then Minister Karamanlis with every ridiculous means available. You didn’t care for even a second about the children who were murdered because of you, and provocatively you shift the blame right and left, while we all know about the friendly appointments without a public examination authority, the bribery in Serres, and so on. The henchmen of your then Minister. We all remember the minister saying that it is a shame to talk about security issues on the railway, and 8 days later we become witnesses to capitalist-state crime in Tempi.

You are the same ones who remain silent when the police evict poor people from their homes for debts to your bosses, the bankers. You are the same ones who dine with golden spoons next to the real mafia of this country – politicians and businessmen – laughing at the suffering of the oppressed.

Therefore, I am happy and content that I don’t resemble you in the slightest. I have learned to look the world in the eye and not deceive them, to care for people and take a stance on whatever happens. I am proud to have grown up with values that you don’t even know.

I may be a captive in your prisons, but my soul and mind are and will remain free. So continue your witch hunt, create scenarios that serve you, and label whatever and however you want.

You were born cowards, and you will live as thugs.

‘I want to go on my way,

bypassing the hesitant

and the slow-walkers’

P.S: The above text is just a few words about the restoration of truth and a critique of the current condition. I will provide a more detailed explanation once I am called for the interrogative procedure and have the indictment in my hands.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the bomb attack at the National Bank of Greece in Petralona by ‘Group Conspiracy Vengeance’

Posted on 2024/01/27 - 2024/01/27 by darknights

At a time when the “liberal” economy is imposed by the capitalist system with the foundation of the right-wing agenda, both in Greece and in most countries of the world, the banks are the crown jewel.

The legal pimp that intervenes and influences our lives in the name of money, impoverishing the people and enriching the minions and stooges of the governments.

It is no coincidence that the cabal of private giants, bankers and governments are the main beneficiaries of the permanent crisis that has been hitting the country for years. They privatize all public services that belong to the people, securing their money in the banks with exorbitant interest, getting richer and richer. They play a leading role in the auctions, grabbing people’s houses as fast as possible without any light being shed on the people who have been suffering for years because of them.

The examples are endless, elderly people with health problems, the unemployed and many others who simply do not belong to the corrupt circle of crooks – predators of the government, big business and bankers. It goes without saying that they have the support and help of the uniformed garbage police, who as the known puppets of the rich run around to carry out the “mission” of eviction, taking the bribes from the big-name loan sharks.

We could say too much, but we all know the miserable role of the banks. So we will come back to this after our next hit.

The key reason why we chose to attack this bank at 115, 3 Ierarchon Street in Petralona, is the appeal hearing on 2/2/2024 of the comrade – anarchist Tziotsis Fotis, in the context of practical solidarity.

This bank was the first financial goal of his action, in order to continue the conscious path of illegality he chose, “breaking” his license from the Larissa prison, not returning to captivity, choosing with dignity to continue walking on the paths of freedom and armed struggle.

No state bastard can stand in the way of freedom.

Nothing will go unanswered, judges, prosecutors, cops who happily shuttle prisoners back and forth to the courts, remember that no one is alone.

Everything goes on…

The responsibility is assumed by the group

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for attack on the offices of New Democracy in Koukaki

Posted on 2023/01/04 - 2023/01/04 by darknights

In October 2022, within the framework of the zero tolerance doctrine, the new Penitentiary Code is passed, which among other things makes the granting of leave and the conditional release of prisoners even more difficult and essentially restores the C-type prisons with the “maximum security prisons”. In response to this law, on 28 October, mobilisations by prisoners in prisons throughout the country began. The state, in an attempt to intimidate those who are struggling, reacts vindictively, targeting some of them with threats and bullshit in their cells.

Thus, at dawn on Monday 19/12 the kidnapping of the political prisoner for participation in the organization Anarchist Action, Thanos Chatziaggelou, and his transfer from his cell in Korydallos to the prison of Nigrita Serres. In the same way, on 22/12, the transfer of comrade K. Dimalexis to the prison of Trikala was carried out. On the same night of his abduction, comrade Th. Chatziaggelou starts a hunger and thirst strike demanding the disclosure of the reason for his transfer and his return to Korydallos. The comrade’s health is in a very critical condition and he is in danger of suffering kidney failure or cardiac arrest. In an attempt to discredit his struggle, a verbal prosecution proposal is made to force-feed the striker, a practice that constitutes torture and endangers his health. In solidarity, prisoners G. Michaelides, F. Tziotzis, I. Rodopoulos, L. Vougiouklakis and F. Daskalas go on symbolic or non-symbolic hunger strikes, putting their bodies on the mound.

As a minimal sign of solidarity with comrade Th. Chatziaggelou and the rest of the strikers, we chose on 27/12 to attack by breaking the facade and throwing paint at the offices of the New Democracy party in Koukaki, which as a government applies the doctrine of zero tolerance, at least against those who do not enjoy its favour.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for explosive attack at house of 2nd Lieutenant Evangelos Kaisis of the ΟΠΚΕ police unit by Group “Revenge Guerrillas”

Posted on 2022/06/02 - 2022/06/02 by darknights

ΟΠΚΕ during a raid in the Exarcheia neighborhood of Athens

Nowadays, the state apparatus and its minions think they are immune. They act against all those who do not accept the miseries they impose on us and who dare to stand up to the vindictive regime. Cops, investigators, prosecutors and journalists have created a regime alliance with the sole aim of repression and the disappearance of dignity. This must stop immediately and these scum must understand that their actions will have the expected consequences. We can come into your homes, your businesses, and attack whenever and however we want without you being able to stop us. Get this through your heads. We take responsibility for the explosive device in the house of 2nd Lieutenant Evangelos Kaisis in Melissia, who was the head of the ΟΠΚΕ team, on 18/3/22, during the transfer of our comrade Fotis Tziotzi to the interrogation room, after his arrest for the bank expropriations in Athens this summer. This cop, after the adventure with the attempted snatching of his gun by the comrade that happened outside the interrogator’s office, ran to testify against the comrade, thus charging him with additional charges.

Try as you might, you will only succeed in strengthening the flame that burns within us for armed action against you. This is a small piece compared to what will follow, and you will lose sleep over it.

P.S. Ilisia. Thalia C. Kyriakides, interrogator. You may have been lucky this time, or we may have been unlucky that the explosive device did not explode in your apartment building, but next time it will be with bullets that will surely find their target.

STRENGTH AND FREEDOM TO ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS.

FIGHTING GREETINGS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN THE PATH OF FREEDOM.

LET US ALL ATTACK TOGETHER.
