Greece: Solidarity to comrade Thanos Chatziangelou hunger and thirst strike – Pola Roupa & Nikos Maziotis, members of Revolutionary Struggle

Posted on 2023/01/04 by darknights

Solidarity to comrade Thanos Chatziangelou, member of the Anarchist Action organization who is on hunger and thirst strike since 19/12/2022 and is in danger if he has not already suffered permanent damage to his health.

We are living in times of a general unbridling of state violence and repression in a general environment of social crisis, misery and impoverishment: Suppression of self-managed spaces of resistance, violent repression of demonstrations, state killings with the organs of the state going unpunished, continuous hardening of criminal and ”penitentiary” legislation with one of its main objectives being to deal with political opponents of the state.

The state’s increasingly intense attack on prisoner militants has reached the point where it does not even accept the demands made through hunger strikes, which are not even mentioned in the new Penitentiary Code, as they were in the old one, but involuntary hospitalisation and forced feeding, which constitutes torture, are now being rearranged.

Comrade Thanos’ request to return to Korydallos prison should be granted.

Solidarity with the anarchist prisoners L. Vougiouklaki, F. Daskala, G. Michailidis, K. Dimalexis and I. Rodopoulos, who are on hunger strike and accompanying Thanos Chatziangelou, who are also on hunger strike.

No comrade should be left alone in the face of state repression.

Patras, Greece: ΟΣΕ van delivered to flames in solidarity with Thanos Chatziaggelou

Posted on 2023/01/04 by darknights

In the evening of 28 to 29 December we delivered to the flames a service van of the ΟΣΕ (Railway Organisation of Greece) in the area of Agia Sophia, in Patras as a small contribution to the struggle of comrade Thanos Chatziaggelou, on hunger and thirst strike since 19/12. We consciously chose this day as it was called a day of nationwide solidarity for Thanos.

Comrade Thanos hold on tight.

The prisoners of the Greek prisons have been fighting their own struggle against the new penal law for about a month now and that is why they are being targeted. We, your comrades, from our side, are acting as we ought at every possible opportunity, raising the flames of solidarity, revenge and attack, hoping that they will reach your unyielding consciences and light up your difficult nights of captivity, even for a while.

WHOEVER FORGETS THE PRISONERS OF WAR FORGETS THE WAR ITSELF

Comrades, let this attack be a small reminder to you and to the State that we will never leave our positions, we will never surrender our weapons and our consciences to the enemy and we will attack each time with new vigour and with new fury.

Comrade THANOS, Comrade KOSTA, Comrade LAMBROS, Comrade FOTIS, Comrade GIANNI, Comrade IASONA , the war is not over no surrender no submission.

Solidarity with comrade Alfredo Cospito and the 11 Turkish fighters on hunger strike.

This attack is dedicated to Kostas Fragoulis.

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.
