Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for Parcel – Bomb to the President of the Court of Appeal Anastasia Anthopoulou by ‘Armed Response’

Posted on 2024/02/19 - 2024/02/19 by darknights

The work of the judicial officials is clearly aimed at torturing and impoverishing all prisoners and in general all those who unfortunately have to face their fate.

Judges, prosecutors, appellants, all together have for years created a closed group of torturers, of course with the help and complicity of the governments of the day.

Especially in recent years with the Mitsotakis government, they have been leading the country in the path of the junta and repression. The decisions made in the courtrooms and in their offices are clearly vindictive and inhumane for the people. The scum who bear the “title” of president, supreme court of appeal, etc., are the ones who give the orders to seize the homes of people with health problems, the elderly, and those facing financial crisis.

They are the ones who judge at will how long people will sit in prison, regardless of evidence and proof, because they only like to make vengeful decisions at their own so-called discretion and administer their own “justice”, without considering anyone or anything.

They think they are in a higher class of people and that they can play with everyone’s lives. Their direct connections to high level cops and politicians place them in a context of self-empowerment and corruption with no checks and balances from anyone. They sign and arrange laws for their corrupt “friends”, they give orders for surveillance of people for personal gain.

A huge chapter is about prisoners and the constant tightening of sentences, of course with some exceptions that only serve “their own”. Extensive sentences, the various provisions that are imposed overnight as it suits them, lead prisoners to the daily battle for survival in miserable conditions.

When it comes to people of their own clique, by cover-ups and short procedures, they are relieved of any responsibility. A typical example is the disaster in Tempe, where all the scum – responsible for the tragedy – continue their lives as normal. The then Transport Minister Karamanlis and his appointed minions, with the help of judges and prosecutors, have been absolved of all responsibility. The ‘famous’ friends of the Mitsotakis government, the rapists and pedophiles, Lignadis, Filippidis etc., are partially acquitted or are given the benefit of the doubt, so that they can continue their perverted work by being acquitted. On the contrary, for all those who do not belong to their debased rotten circle, the application of their laws transcends all vindictiveness.

Komotini, Greece: Update from the Defence Actions of the Evicted Anarchist Steki Utopia A.D.

Posted on 2024/02/11 - 2024/02/11 by darknights

A few hours after today’s eviction of the Anarchist Steki Utopia A.D., an open assembly was held in which a large number of people in solidarity were informed about the situation.

As a first move, a reflexive march of 60 people poured into the city centre, with a strong pulse and slogans. It should be noted that although the guards of the university were ordered to call the cops, the presence of police forces was non-existent throughout the protests.

The march ended outside the evicted hangout, where the next steps were discussed. We believe that the eviction of the hangout is a continuation of the state attack on the occupied law school and the arrest of 18 students, 12 of which turned into arrests.

The main persons responsible for the repressive operations are the rector Fotis Maris and the dean of the law school, Michalis Chrysomallis. Neither of them, however, has so far taken responsibility for organizing the above-mentioned actions.

We, for our part, on the one hand, call on the rectorate, if it has a trace of dignity, to stop shifting its responsibilities elsewhere, on the other hand, we assure that we will not choose the path of silence and we warn that nothing will be left unanswered.

Berlin, Germany: Claim of Responsibility for the Incendiary Attack Against a Greek Diplomatic Vehicle

Posted on 2024/02/07 by darknights

On January 30, we placed an incendiary device under a car with the number plate of Greece’s diplomatic mission in Germany. The action took place in the Rosenthaler district in Berlin.

The action is not directed against a specific person but against the relations between two racist and murderous states and those responsible for them. The burning diplomatic car is once again a vehicle for international messages between the oppressed and at the same time a message to those who want to rule the world…

..that we have not forgotten the hundreds of murders committed last June off the coast of Pylos at the hands of the Greek coastguard and Frontex.

…that we have not forgotten the racist, murderous acts of violence by the police against Roma youth in Greece.

…that we do not remain inactive in the face of the persecution of anarchists and individuals fighting against oppression and exploitation.

In 2024, at a time when indifference in the face of daily mass murders is far advanced, we anarchists continue to reach out to migrants. We want to remind them once again that mass migration has its origins in the system and that those who try to control it are the same ones who live off our labour and resources. The thousands of murders at the borders are murders of our brothers and sisters. The victims of the coming pogroms and assassinations in this increasingly openly racist European Union live among us and stand side by side with us.

In memory of Oury Jalloh, who was tied up and set on fire alive with broken bones in a police cell on January 7, 19 years ago.

Signed: Anarchists

PS: For the immediate release of Nikos Maziotis and solidarity with Pola Roupa!

Greece: Solidarity Day on February 9, 2024, for the final release of comrade Pola Roupa & the immediate release of comrade Nikos Maziotis EN/ FR / GR / DE / IT

Posted on 2024/02/05 by darknights

We call comrades in Greece and around the world to be vigilant and act in solidarity:

9/2| SOLIDARITY DAY FOR THE FINAL RELEASE OF
COMRADE POLA ROUPA & THE
IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF COMRADE NIKOS MAZIOTIS

Comrade Pola Roupa and Comrade Nikos Maziotis were sentenced to several years in prison for their participation and action in the guerilla organization Revolutionary Struggle.

They were imprisoned and served the combined 20-year prison sentence to which they were finally sentenced (after the “breaking” of their life sentence for the bombing attack on the Bank of Greece-branch of the European Central Bank-office of the International Monetary Fund in Greece, by Revolutionary Struggle Commando Lambros Fountas).

Comrade Pola Roupa served 8.5 years of real prison (13.5 years mixed), while her partner Nikos Maziotis has already served 11 years of “closed” prison and a total of 14 years mixed. That is, 3/5 of their sentence as state laws dictate.

Comrade Pola Roupa was released from prison with restrictive conditions on November 17, 2023, and a few days later, on November 28, 2023, the deputy prosecutor of Evia filed an appeal against her release, requesting that she be taken back to prison. This unprecedented event led comrade Pola Roupa before a new judicial council at the court of Chalkida on January 10, 2024, in order to judge from scratch whether she will remain free or continue to be a prisoner in the cells of the republic.

The definitive release of comrade P. Roupa from state hostage-taking is the immediate political issue as they seek to put her back in prison. The regime itself questions its jurisprudence and retracts itself: it initially “allows” the release of comrade P. Roupa, while subsequently attempting to reverse its decision. The aforementioned mandated minion of the political and judicial power – vice-prosecutor of Evia – with his move proves the extreme vindictive way of dealing with the political enemies of the state and capital, and especially the armed combatants.
Comrade N. Maziotis has received 4 parole denials in two years, because he remains unrepentant. This “special” treatment of exception does not stop, even after the many years of persecution and captivity imposed on them.

Athens, Greece: “In 40 minutes it will explode” A bomb exploded outside the Ministry of Labour, claimed by telephone by ‘Revolutionary Class Self-Defence’

Posted on 2024/02/03 - 2024/02/03 by darknights

A powerful explosion that occurred at 01.29 outside the Ministry of Labour in Athens, Greece. The explosion has caused property damage.

The responsibility is assumed by the Revolutionary Class Self-Defence. Members of the explosive ordnance disposal department are on the scene.

This follows a call to the “Journal of the Press”. The unidentified man said a bomb would explode in 40 minutes.

Two calls were made to the newspaper. First they said the Ministry of Labour and then a short while later they said the Alpha Bank, just across the street. According to the cops, the device exploded outside the bank.

Stadiou Street remains closed by strong police forces as searches are being carried out in the wider area.

On 2012/12/16 a hanging bag was found again outside the Ministry of Labour and was neutralised. It had been claimed by the People’s Militant Group.

DN Note: An update will follow if we receive information about a claim of responsibility.

Greece: Responsibility Claim for the Attack on the Offices of the Israeli Shipping Company ZIM by ‘October 7 Group’

Posted on 2024/02/03 by darknights

“And now their are masses of people who are rising and breaking their shackles and chains. Eternal memory to you, oh brother, in the honorable struggle you have fallen.”

Armed with these verses, which come from our own 1940-49 era here in Greece and guided by the unity of the revolutionary achievements that are currently taking place in Palestine, we carried out an arson attack* on the offices of the Israeli shipping company ZIM at dawn on Wednesday 17/01.

The Israeli company ZIM, since its establishment in 1945, has been actively involved in supplying the murderous Israeli army with military equipment for the Palestinian front. A process which continues even today, unhindered and frequently from the port of Piraeus. ZIM is one of the heavyweights of Zionist capital as it ranks among the ten most powerful shipping companies in Israel. Also, its targeting by the revolutionary Houthi guerrilla movement of the Yemeni people has exposed its active role in the genocide of the Gaza Strip.

A little over a hundred days. Days that are obscured by the sounds of artillery and buildings being demolished in an instant. Nights haunted by the explosions of aerial bombardment. Periods of time where minute by minute, street by street, house by house another magnificent chapter of the Palestinian resistance is written. Another magnificent chapter in the history of the Peoples’ Resistance against their occupiers, against their timeless oppressors.

On October 7, 2023, the combined action of the armed resistance organizations of the struggling Palestinian people achieved an unthinkable blow against one of the most powerful militaries in the world, the Israeli occupation forces. An occupation that has already counted seventy-five years of violence, persecution, arrests and imprisonment without trials, torture, executions, killings, murders of civilians and the continuous expansion of Israel into Palestinian territory in violation of all treaties. Aggressive expansion, with constant escalations, which has led millions of Palestinians to be uprooted or to live crammed into strips and patches of land under inhumane, suffocating conditions of military enforcement, surveillance, control, deprivation of basic human rights, basic goods and health care, on a thin line between life and death.

In this suffocating context, the Palestinian people manage to organize themselves, overcoming immense difficulties and attacking the occupier who tries to break their resistance. The Palestinian Resistance organizations continue operations and achieve daily blows against the Zionist occupation forces. Even at this very moment, when the Israeli army has penetrated deep into the Gaza Strip, as it is attacking the West Bank and striking mercilessly and indiscriminately, slaughtering tens of thousands of Palestinians. For all its overwhelming show of force, the Zionist state of Israel is failing to achieve its key objectives, with international and domestic pressure to end the war and find a diplomatic solution mounting and political time running out for a viable way out for the far-right Netanyahu government.

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

Greece: Thanos Chatziangelou|…firm steps to the end

Posted on 2024/01/25 - 2024/01/25 by darknights

Don’t stop me. I’m dreaming.

We’ve lived bent over centuries of injustice.

Centuries of loneliness.

Now don’t. Don’t stop me.

Now and here and forever and ever and everywhere.

I dream of freedom…

I dream because I love.

Big dreams in the sky

Don’t ask. Don’t stop me.

It’s now to restore

the supreme act of moral right.

To make a poem of Life.

And Life into action.

It’s a dream that I can I can I can

I LOVE YOU

And you don’t stop me I don’t dream. I’m living.

I’m waiting! I’m waiting for those looks, those looks, those looks, those looks, those looks, those looks, those looks. Fearful faces behind the robes of blind justice. Sons and daughters – the genetic children of Themis – critics of justice, who steel their filth with the law of silence. And in their path, the fates of men dragging against the earth like a ragged rag.

I wait! I expect the spectators to be ashamed, when they are silent while they suffer. They build the principality of submission with empty denials and conventions. With prayers and pleas, with begging and misery. Political misery. And they weave their slavery, one knot at a time. One knot at a time. Till all the light is hidden.

I’m waiting! I go back and wait. Among men forgotten and excommunicated. Carrying a heavy burden, for my ego, for the us. For the we to exist. For the cold not to become an unbearable totality. So every morning, in the mirror of my cell, I see a human face. Tired, yes, but human.

With an inert conscience and rigid pride, I serve the denial and wait. This day and the thousands of nights in its wake. Without spotless moons and fixed sunsets, without dry rains and untouched winds.

As many times as it takes and from the beginning.

I am defending ANARCHY.
