Sentenced to 11 years in prison out of a total combined sentence of 19 years. Submitted an application for a suspended sentence.
Manolis Yiospas: Guilty of three misdemeanors including robbery and fraud. Sentenced to 2 years and 9 months in prison. The prosecutor initially requested that Yiospas be acquitted, and after the prison sentence was announced the prosecutor then proposed a three-year suspended sentence, which the court accepted.
Nikos Vogiatzakis: Acquitted of all charges due to lack of evidence.
Errikos Rallis: Acquitted of all charges due to lack of evidence.
Friends and relatives of the accused, but also the defence, commented on the severity in the imposition of sentences considering that for the majority of those sentenced, the court judged that their participation in the organization was of only a few months.
As anarchist revolutionaries in solidarity, we from ACTFORFREEDOMNOW!-BOUBOURAS, send to our proud and dignified comrades, members and not of the Conspiracy Cells of Fire, a big flaming hug!
Solidarity to all imprisoned anarchists and revolutio
naries

Struggle by any means – Revolution First and Always.

….THEY SPREAD THE NIGHTS
OF REVENGE
sleasy,
the guerillas ruin your set up.
they will not play the role of the victim
- neither the monster.
revolutionary consciences
cannot be devoured.
they manage important blows
to the rotten body of democracy
deconstructing in practice
their hollow retoric.
when dignity
is at stake
conflict is
the only way.


solidarity to the political prisoners – members
of the r.o. conspiracy cells of fire,
the imprisoned and the prosecuted
for the same case.
