Thessaloniki, Greece: Explosive attacks on 2 houses of assassins in uniform by Direct Action Cells – Organzation Anarchist Action

Posted on 2021/11/21 - 2021/11/25 by darknights

On 22 October, uniformed assassins of the DIAS, detect a stolen vehicle in the neighbourhoods of Piraeus and pursue it. At the same time that the vehicle is trapped and immobilized, surrounded by numerous and armored police forces, the cops raise their guns and shoot in cold blood with 38 bullets 18-year-old Nikos Sampanis. Typically brought into the arms of civil justice are 7 cops involved in the murder, who under the blessings and praise of the Minister of Uniformed Killers himself, Theodorikakos, are released. The operation is a complete success. Score – one dead for one stolen vehicle.

From propaganda to praxis

Justice is a revolutionary affair and comes like the Sword of Damocles on your heads. As a minimum first retaliation for the previously announced murder of Niko Sampani, we take responsibility for the explosive attacks with low-powered devices on the houses of two bounty hunters in uniform, Lefteris Gatos at 19 Graziou Street and Dimitrios Daggli at 45 Olympiad Street, in the early morning hours of November 15th in Thessaloniki. Our attacks took place a few hours after a new outrageous event came to light: the arrest of yet another uniformed man for indecent assault on his 4-year-old daughter. We had made it clear that nothing goes unanswered, let alone a murder. And while incidents of police brutality are increasing by the day, passive waiting is not one of our characteristics. We go on the offensive again by publicly stating that as of today the bounty list has 19 more unpunished scumbags (with no guarantee that the above two will not be re-targeted in the future).

To cut the laughter…

Last July, we proceeded to put a public bounty on 21 hired killers of the Greek Police, showing you a small but not insignificant sample of our own factionalism in the face of your impunity. And we saw the fear and terror in your eyes when you took Tsairidis from channel to channel crying and begging justice for protection. A few months later, our deeds complement our words. As long as you are unpunished, you are unprotected. History itself has shown that murderers and torturers will always meet the punishing hand of revolutionary violence, of true justice. That is why our attacks on the political descendants of the junta’s torturers, a few hours before the anniversary of the ’73 uprising, are a tribute to the memory of the dead of the Polytechnic.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Claim of responsibility for breaking of banks and ATM’s

Posted on 2021/11/04 by darknights

In the evening hours of Friday 22/10 in Athens, a chase is carried out by the Dias (motorcycle unit) on a passing vehicle as it did not stop at the corresponding signal. Three Roma were in the vehicle. The chase started from the neighborhoods of Egaleo and ended in the streets of Perama. Unfortunately, the end of the chase took place with the car being riddled with 38 bullets while trying to extricate itself. The result was the death of the 18-year-old passenger, Nikos Sampanis, and the injury of the third passenger, while the driver managed to escape in order to save his life while the bullets were raining down behind him.

The first moves of the state, the media and the cops were out of the laundering manual in order to de-escalate any reaction. The state at first took a ‘cautious’ attitude towards the incident by arresting the cops, but without much success because support for them could not be kept hidden for too long by various politicians. The media unleashed a racist barrage against the victims, being Roma, in order to highlight how dangerous these people are and to justify the actions of the cops. However, the occupants of the car were unarmed and there was no such suspicion. Their only ‘weapon’ was their colour and their position at the bottom of the social stratification. As for the cops themselves, in order to justify their actions they employed the tactic of lying and victimization, saying that in trying to extricate the vehicle, he rammed them with the clear aim of killing them and that this was evident from the fact that 7 of them were injured. Of course, audio-visual footage came to flatly contradict these statements.

In the following days we witnessed attempts to build a profile of hard robbers as to the faces of the three Roma, but all of them , being lies, fell on deaf ears, The truth, the only truth was and is one. Cops and the state murdered a child. Racism, bigotry and power armed the hands of the cops who fired that night, not fear for their lives. After all, since when is failing to stop a vehicle at a cops signal punishable by the death penalty and on the spot? But as harsh as the truth is unfortunately we are not falling from the clouds. This is not the first time that state and capital have left cold bodies behind. Whether they come from the bullets of the cops or from the arbitrariness and impartiality of employers, from exploitation and oppression, as in the latest example of the dead 45-year-old worker Dimitris Daggli, who was dismembered by a crane bridge at the Cosco piers in the port of Piraeus. All these people will never return to their families and for a piece of bread, for a starvation wage, they paid the price with their lives. The price of being born poor in a world of the rich. And it won’t be the last time that state and capital murder only if they cease to exist. Only if those at the bottom, the exploited and the oppressed raise class barriers. Only if we overthrow the system that sows death and sorrow.

So we too wanted to put a small stone in the mosaic of class resistance and solidarity by carrying out coordinated attacks with hammers on banks and ATMs on Tuesday night 26/10, 2 in Lagada Street in the western part of Thessaloniki and one in Karamanlis Street in the eastern neighborhoods.

Athens, Greece: What happened in Perama area

Posted on 2021/10/29 - 2021/10/29 by darknights

In the early hours of Saturday 23/10/21, 7 bike cops were chasing a car they thought was stolen. In it were three young guys, which the cops recognized as roma. A bit later, there were 38 fire-shots, aimed not at the tires of the car (in their supposed attempt to stop it), but higher; in a clear attempt to injure/murder the passengers of the car. All shots were fired by the cops. The three young guys were unarmed. Nikos Sampanis, the 18-year-old co-driver was instantly killed, as he was hit with 2 bullets on the chest. A 16-year-old is injured and still in hospital and the 14-year-old driver ran away amidst gunfire. The cops were initially arrested and were charged with the felony of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter.

A few minutes after their *arrest*, Spyridon Georgiadis, Minister for Development and Investment, tweeted his congratulations to the murderous cops. The Citizen Protection Minister, Takis Theodorikakos, paid them a visit in jail. For “symbolic reasons” as he stated.

From the very first moment, mass media in Greece focused on the fact that the murdered young man is a “roma”. Additionally, they falsely reported that he had a heavy criminal record. This was proven to be a blatant lie. In fact, the notorious police reporter Nina Karamitrou posted a photo of a man with dark skin holding a gun, presenting him as the dead Nikos. The photo was fake. The cops’ attorney, A. Kougias, characterized the roma community in Greece “a plague”. Al. Kougias is a well-known lawyer from criminal cases but also a defense lawyer in cases of the Greek mafia. He was also the defense attorney for the cop that murdered 16-year-old A.Grigoropoulos in 2008.

The greek reality is that the roma community is constantly targetted by the authorities and subjected to racism and discrimination in the greek society. The roma community is a typical case of a marginalized community.

Yesterday evening the investigator and prosectutor decided to release from custody with no restrictive measures all cops with felony charges. Once again, minutes after the decision, the Citizen Protection Minister, Takis Theodorikakos, expressed his “satisfaction on the decision of the independent judiciary”.
