Announcement from Koridallos prisons on their end of hunger strike, the imprisoned anarchists Alexandros Mitroussias, Giorgos Karagiannidis, Kostas Sakkas

Act for freedom now!

ANNOUNCEMENT OF KARAGIANNIDIS, MITROUSIAS, SAKKAS

27.4.12

We announce that we are stopping the hunger strike we started on 6/4 demanding the lifting of the imprisonments imposed on us for previous incendiary and explosive attacks by the Anarchist Organization CCF as well as the immediate release of comrade Stella Antoniou.

The first demand was denied as well as Stellas release application put in at 6/3.

Objectively we were defeated since no demand was satisfied. In this action we wanted to show as a spearhead of the demands –because of our case- the pilot application of the terrorlaw where the state attributes us with participation in 2 organizations and 4 trial briefs for the same time period, imprisons us and sends us to court with no legal cover.

We tried also for the comrade to be released immediately for health reasons. To those who stood in solidarity in this attempt of ours, to those who acted at night, we tell them solidarity does not get a thank you but a raised clenched fist.

Alexandros Mitrousias, Giorgos Karagiannidis, Kostas Sakkas.

(it-en) Comunicato di S. Antoniou, G. Karagiannidis, K. Sakkas e A. Mitrousias

ENGLISH

A metà Marzo ci è stato comunicato una nuova convocazione da parte degli accusatori Baltas e Mokkas, per “scusarci”* (termine che in greco significa anche testimoniare) in merito ad una serie di attacchi incendiari ed esplosivi, rivendicati dalla O.R. CCF. Dal primo momento abbiamo negato la nostra partecipazione all’organizzazione specifica, cosi come ogni altra. Sebbene in questo momento l’accusa miri a noi, riteniamo che ciò che viene colpito è la parola e l’azione sovversiva.

Attraverso le particolarmente tese condizioni sociali del periodo che stiamo vivendo, l’organizzazione e la resistenza radicale sono ciò che terrorizza sempre di più lo stato, che aggiorna i suoi piani oppressivi.

Contando solo dall’inizio dell’anno, crediamo che le accuse ai compagni per l’occupazione di una stazione radio in solidarietà alla O.R. L.R., la pubblicazione delle foto dei compagni arrestati e imprigionati in merito agli scontri del 12 Febbraio, mentre nel contesto del rafforzamento della democrazia anche contro ciò che potrebbe potenzialmente disturbare l’attuale fragile equilibrio, abbiamo avuto la pubblicazione delle foto dei partecipanti agli scontri con i poliziotti nell’O.A.K.A. e le recenti “epurazioni” dei migranti ad opera della ELAS (polizia greca) che ora vengono mostrare nei telegiornali come ovvio espediente pre elettorale. 

E’ chiaro quindi che la guerra si sta intensificando. Nel campo legale ciò viene espresso con l’applicazione della legge antiterrorista che è di proposito generica e poco chiara. Sebbene in questo specifico caso non ci sia l’ombra di una prova o di una relazione che colleghi noi con queste azioni, il giudizio solamente soggettivo dei ben noti procuratori è sufficiente per farci imprigionare di nuovo.

Comunque, con prove costruite e false testimonianze, due di noi (Mitrousias e Karagiannidis) sono stati imprigionati anche per il caso dei “pacchi bomba”. E’ chiaro che le nuove accuse sono soprattutto mirate ad evitare il rilascio (a causa della scadenza dei 18 mesi) di K. Sakkas e Stella Antoniou.

Ciò è dimostrato dal fatto che le accuse per queste azioni specifiche non sono state attribuite a noi durante il nostro arresto 16 mesi fa ma oggi, nonostante non siano saltate fuori nuove prove. Comunichiamo inoltre che da oggi 6 Aprile iniziano uno sciopero della fame chiedendo: L’interruzione della nostra arbitraria e vendicativa prigionia. L’immediato rilascio della nostra co-imputata S. Antoniou per motivi di salute.

Prigione di Koridallos, 6/4/2012. S. Antoniou, G. Karagiannidis, A. Mitrousias, K. Sakkas

Nota. Stella Antoniou inizierà lo sciopero della fame una settimana dopo nonostante le sue pessime condizioni di salute.

Αθήνα: Άμεση ικανοποίηση των αιτημάτων των αναρχικών απεργών πείνας στις φυλακές Κορυδαλλού

ΠΟΡΕΙΑ Παρασκευή, 27 Απρίλη 2012, 6μ.μ., πλατεία Ελευθερίας, Κορυδαλλός

«πόλεμος μέχρις εσχάτων… η αποφυλάκισή μας θα είναι έργο
δικό μας και των συντρόφων μας…»

Χρήστος Τσάκαλος, 18 Απρίλη (ηχογράφηση του 98fm)

en es - Greek prisons: Short notes on comrades’ hunger strikes and prison food abstentions (ongoing)

April 4th – Hunger strike declaration of Spyros Dravilas (Domokos prisons), titled ‘The State and its institutions get revenge on those who don’t succumb to their system by depriving them of the acquired right of temporary leave’. Authorities deny Spyros Dravilas the temporary leave from prison he is entitled to for two and a half years now.

April 6th – Hunger strike declaration of Giorgos Karagiannidis, Alexandros Mitroussias and Kostas Sakkas — ‘as of today 6/4 we go on hunger strike demanding the lifting of our arbitrary and vindictive pretrial detentions and the immediate release of our co-defendant Stella Antoniou on health grounds’ — cosigned by S.Antoniou (who is currently protesting with prison food abstention).

April 6th – Hunger strike declaration of CCF imprisoned members Panagiotis Argirou and Gerasimos Tsakalos, who request their final transfer and stay into Koridallos prisons, in order to put an end to their repeated vindictive transfers and physical–psychological wear and tear.

April 7th – Solidarity abstention from prison food by anarchist Vaggelis Kailoglou (who is one of the four arrestees of February 12th that were remanded in custody)

April 7th – Solidarity abstention from prison food by the anarchist captives of war Sokratis Tzifkas (Diavata prisons), Giannis Skouloudis (Avlona prisons), Babis Tsilianidis and Dimitris Dimtsiadis (Koridallos prisons)

April 8th – Hunger strike declaration of CCF imprisoned member Christos Tsakalos, in solidarity with the two CCF comrades on hunger strike

April 8th – Solidarity abstention from prison food by 130 prisoners in the 1st wing of Koridallos men’s prisons

April 9th – Solidarity assembly at Athens Polytechnic School, in Gini building, with telephone intervention by the hunger strikes from inside prisons

April 9th – The rest of CCF imprisoned members and the anarchist revolutionary Theofilos Mavropoulos declare they will gradually join the hunger strike of their brothers Panagiotis Argirou, Gerasimos and Christos Tsakalos.

April 11th – Stella Antoniou’s statement on recent developments: The prosecution authorities did not order that Stella be remanded in custody again; nevertheless, they ordered the remand of Sakkas, Mitroussias, Karagiannidis, based on fabricated charges against them concerning the older 250 CCF arson attacks. Given these facts, and in agreement with her three comrades, Stella explained she broke off her participation in the hunger strike, and despite her health problems, will abstain from prison food until their demands are met.

April 11th – Solidarity abstention from prison food by the imprisoned anarchist Rami Syrianos

April 14th – An assembly in solidarity with G.Karagiannidis, A.Mitroussias, K.Sakkas and S.Antoniou released the following news (among others): ‘Currently, the three comrades Karagiannidis, Mitroussias, Sakkas have been accused for the case of the 250 CCF arsons by the appellate–interrogation experts Mokkas and Baltas, who ordered that all three as well as the members of the R.O. CCF be remanded in custody once again. Stella Antoniou was charged in the case too, but wasn’t remanded in custody again, and so is expected to be released at the end of the 18-month period of her first pretrial incarceration (in June 2012) while her 5th request for release on health grounds has not yet been answered’.
Let us remind that Stella is held in pretrial detention for 16 months already, with the possession of a fake ID as sole evidence against her.

April 14th – News on the three CCF imprisoned comrades after one week on hunger strike

April 15th – Three more CCF imprisoned comrades will go on hunger strike from April 17th:

4 de abril: Declaración de huelga de hambre de Spyros Dravilas (Prisión de Domokos), titulada “El Estado y sus instituciones se vengan de aquellxs que no sucumben bajo su sistema, privándoles de su derecho a salidas temporales”.

6 de abril: Declaración de huelga de hambre de Giorgos Karagiannidis, Alexandros Mitroussias y Kostas Sakkas: ”A partir de hoy 6/4 nos declaramos en huelga de hambre, exigiendo el levantamiento de nuestra arbitraria y vengativa prisión preventiva, y la liberación inmediata de nuestra co-acusada Stella Antoniou, por razones de salud.” — cofirmado por Stella Antoniou, quien actualmente está protestando mediante una abstención de comida de la prisión.

11 de abril: Declaración de Stella Antoniou sobre los últimos acontecimientos: Las autoridades judiciales no pidieron que Stella permaneciese en prisión preventiva, pero sí lo hicieron con Sakkas, Mitroussias, Karagiannidi, basándose en cargos inventados contra ellos con respecto a los antiguos ataques incendiarios de la CCF.

CCF, quedarán en prisión preventiva. Stella Antoniou fue acusada también, pero no permanecerá en prisión preventiva de nuevo, y se espera que sea liberada en junio del 2012, cuando se acaba el periodo de 18 meses desde su primera prisión preventiva, mientras que su quinta petición para la liberación por motivos de salud aún no ha sido respondida.” Recordemos que Stella ha estado en prisión preventiva durante 16 meses ya, con la única prueba en su contra de poseer un carné de identidad falso.

en es de gr - Hamburg, Germany: Solidarity action for Stella Antoniou, Kostas Sakkas, Giorgos Karagiannidis and Alexandros Mitroussias

IN OPEN HOSTILITY WITH PRISONS, REPRESSION, OPPRESSION, EXPLOITATION, THE MINIONS, THE IMK (Interior Ministers' Conference)… AND THE WHOLE SHITTY SYSTEM!


Today, April 7th, 2012, in the context of the solidarity call for Stella Antoniou, several people gathered in Hamburg in order to show our solidarity with Stella Antoniou and her comrades imprisoned in Greece.

https://linksunten.indymedia.org/de/node/57727

Leaflets were shared out in front of the Greek consulate, at Gänsemarkt and in Susannenstraße, and also banners were held that drew attention to Stella’s situation in the prison. Moreover, we informed people about the fact that demonstrations and solidarity actions took place in many different cities across Greece.

Yesterday her three comrades went on hunger strike for Stella’s immediate release and in order to protest against the fabrication of the police against them.

http://en.contrainfo.espiv.net/2012/04/06/greece-four-anarchist-prisoners-declare-hunger-strike

Stella will also join the hunger strike in a week.

Info: On December 4th, 2010, Stella Antoniou was arrested in Athens along with five other people. Stella is an anarchist and she is charged with participation in a terrorist organization. She has been held for 16 months now, without standing trial so far. She has already applied five times for her release on bail, without any success yet. Stella suffers from a rare disease, needs special medication and must often receive medical treatment, but this has been repeatedly denied to her. As a result her health condition has deteriorated dramatically.

Solidarität mit Stella Antoniou!

Heute 07-04-2012 haben sich im Rahmen des Soli-Aufrufs für Stella Antoniou in Hamburg einige Leute zusammen gefunden, um sich mit der in Griechenland inhaftierten Stella Antoniou und ihren Gefährt_innen, zu solidarisieren. (http://en.contrainfo.espiv.net/)



Vor dem griechischen Konsulat, am Gänsemarkt und in der Susannenstraße wurden Flyer verteilt und Transparente gehalten, die auf die Situation von Stella im Knast aufmerksam machen sollen. Außerdem wurde darüber Informiert, dass in vielen verschiedenen Städten in Griechenland Demonstrationen und Soli- Aktionen liefen.



Ihre 3 Gefährten traten gestern in Hungerstreik, für die sofortige Freilassung von Stella und um gegen das Konstrukt der Polizei gegen sie zu protestieren.

Stella wird sich ebenfalls in einer Woche dem Hungerstreik anschließen.



Info:

Stella Antoniou wurde am 4. Dezember 2010 zusammen mit 5 weiteren Menschen in Athen festgenommen. Stella ist Anarchistin und wird beschuldigt Mitglied einer terroristischen Vereinigung zu sein. Sie wird seit 15 Monaten festgehalten, ohne bisher ein Gerichtsverfahren gehabt zu haben. Sie hat bereits 5 mal erfolglos ihre Freilassung beantragt. Stella leidet an einer seltenen Krankheit, sie braucht spezielle Mediakmente und muss sich oft in medizinische Behandlung begeben, dies wird ihr jedoch immer wieder verwehrt. In Folge dessen hat sich ihr Gesundheitszustand radikal verschlechtert

Greece- Announcement by S.Antoniou, G.Karagianidis, A.Mitrousias, K.Sakkas

Translate by boubourAs/ Act for freedom now!
In mid-March I was made known to us that we are called for one more time by the special interrogators Baltas nad Mokkas, to “apologize” *(apology in greek is also the word for testifying) for a series of arson and explosive attacks, the responsibility for which has been claimed by the R.O. C.C.F. From the first moment we have denied our participation in this specific organization, as well as any other. Although this given moment the persecutions aim at us, we consider that what is being targeted is subversive word and action.
Through the especially tense social conditions of the period we are going through, radical organization and resistance is what terrorizes the state more and more, which updates its oppressive plan.
Counting only from the beginning of the year, we have the belief prosecutions of comrades for the occupation of a radiostation in solidarity to the R.O. R.S., the publication of photos of arrestees and imprisoned comrades from the clashes on 12/2, while in the frames of toughening the attitude of democracy even against anything that could potentially disrupt the now fragile balance, we have the publication of photos of participants in the clashes with cops in the O.A.K.A. and the recent mass immigrant “clean-ups” of the EL.AS (greek police) which are now shown live on the news with an obvious pre-election expediency.
It is clear therefore that the war is intensifying. In the legal field this is expressed with the application of provisions of the terror-law which are purposely unclear and general. Although in the specific trial brief there is not one shred of evidence or indication connecting us with these actions, the subjective and only judgement of the known interrogators is a capble condition for us to be imprisoned all over again.
Anyway, with fabricated evidence and false witnesses two of us (Mitrousias-Karagiannidis) were imprisoned also for the “parcel bombs” case. It is clear that the new persecutions are especially targeted time-wise in order to prevent the release (because of the 18month period) of K.Sakkas and Stella Antoniou.
This is proven by the fact that the charges for these specific actions were not attributed to us during our arrest 16 months ago but today, despite the fact no new evidence came out. We state therefore that as of today 6/4 we go on a hunger strike demanding: The lifting of our arbitrary and vengeful imprisonments The immediate release of our co-accused S.Antoniou for health reasons.
Koridallos Prisons, 6/4/12 S,Antoniou, G.Karagiannidis, A.Mitrousias, K.Sakkas
Note. Stella Antoniou will begin the hunger strike a week later despite her worsening health situation.

Απεργία πείνας από 6/4/2012

Aνακοίνωση των Σ. Αντωνίου, Γ. Καραγιαννίδη, Α. Μητρούσια, Κ. Σακκά




[αναδημοσίευση από το athens.indymedia.org]



Στα μέσα Μαρτίου μας γνωστοποιήθηκε πως καλούμαστε ακόμα μια φορά από τους ειδικούς εφέτες-ανακριτές Μπαλντά και Μόκκα, για να «απολογηθούμε» για μια σωρεία εμπρηστικών και εκρηκτικών επιθέσεων, την ευθύνη των οποίων έχει αναλάβει η Ε.Ο. Σ.Π.Φ.

Από την πρώτη στιγμή έχουμε αρνηθεί τη συμμετοχή μας στη συγκεκριμένη οργάνωση, καθώς και σε οποιαδήποτε άλλη.

Αν και τη δεδομένη στιγμή οι διώξεις στοχεύουν εμάς, θεωρούμε πως αυτό που στοχοποιείται είναι ο ανατρεπτικός λόγος και πράξη.

Μέσα στις ιδιαίτερα τεταμένες κοινωνικές συνθήκες της περιόδου που διανύουμε η ριζοσπαστική οργάνωση και αντίσταση είναι αυτό που περισσότερο τρομοκρατεί το κράτος, το οποίο αναβαθμίζει το κατασταλτικό του σχέδιο.

Μετρώντας μόνο από την αρχή του χρόνου, έχουμε τις φρονηματικές διώξεις συντρόφων για κατάληψη ραδιοσταθμού σε ένδειξη αλληλεγγύης στην Ε.Ο. Ε.Α., τη δημοσίευση φωτογραφιών συλληφθέντων και προφυλακισθέντων για τις συγκρούσεις στις 12/2, ενώ στα πλαίσια της σκλήρυνσης της στάσης της δημοκρατίας ακόμη και απέναντι σε ότι μπορεί εν δυνάμει να διαταράξει την εύθραυστη πλέον ισορροπία της έχουμε τη δημοσίευση φωτογραφιών συμμετεχόντων στις συγκρούσεις με μπάτσους στο Ο.Α.Κ.Α. και τις πρόσφατες μαζικές «σκούπες» της ΕΛ.ΑΣ. που μεταδίδονται πλέον ζωντανά από τα δελτία ειδήσεων με προφανή προεκλογική σκοπιμότητα.

Είναι σαφές λοιπόν πως ο πόλεμος εντείνεται. Στο νομικό πεδίο αυτό εκφράζεται με την εφαρμογή διατάξεων του τρομονόμου που είναι σκοπίμως ασαφείς και γενικές. Αν και στη συγκεκριμένη δικογραφία δεν υπάρχει ούτε ένα στοιχείο ή ένδειξη που να μας συνδέει με τις ενέργειες, η υποκειμενική και μόνο κρίση των γνωστών ανακριτών αποτελεί ικανή συνθήκη για να προφυλακιστούμε εκ νέου.

Ούτως η άλλως με χαλκευμένα στοιχεία και ψευδομαρτυρίες δύο από εμάς (Μητρούσιας-Καραγιαννίδης) προφυλακιστήκαμε και για την υπόθεση «δέματα-βόμβες».

Είναι ξεκάθαρο πως οι καινούριες διώξεις είναι ιδιαίτερα στοχευμένες χρονικά προκειμένου να αποτρέψουν την αποφυλάκιση λόγω λήξης του 18μήνου των Κώστα Σακκά και Στέλλας Αντωνίου. Αυτό αποδεικνύεται από το γεγονός ότι οι κατηγορίες για τις συγκεκριμένες ενέργειες δεν μας αποδόθηκαν κατά τη σύλληψη μας πριν 16 μήνες αλλά σήμερα, παρόλο που δεν προέκυψε κανένα καινούριο στοιχείο.

Δηλώνουμε λοιπόν πως από σήμερα 6/4 ξεκινάμε απεργία πείνας απαιτώντας:

Την άρση των αυθαίρετων και εκδικητικών προφυλακίσεων μας

Την άμεση αποφυλάκιση της συγκατηγορούμενης μας Σ. Αντωνίου για λόγους υγείας




Φυλακές Κορυδαλλού, 6-4-2012

Σ. Αντωνίου, Γ. Καραγιαννίδης, Α. Μητρούσιας, Κ. Σακκάς

Σημ: Η Σ. Αντωνίου θα ξεκινήσει απεργία πείνας μια εβδομάδα αργότερα παρόλη την επιβαρυμένη κατάσταση της υγείας της.
