Defiant of authority: moral panics and the social stigma of imprisonment in Greece

2e1ax_omniatv_entry_aaaa

An effort is being made to disrupt the communication between prisoners with their loved ones as well as the flow of information that guides collectives, solidarity movements and campaigners to initiate actions in solidarity with prisoners’ rights and struggles behind bars. Squats, banners, demos, articles, are all integral aspects of necessary social action that breaks the silence and amplifies the reality in the country’s prisons so that it becomes visible for the rest of society, even those unaffected by incarceration and its consequences.

A cinque anni di distanza dai fatti contestati, si avvia alla conclusione il maxi-processo agli studenti del movimento dell’Onda e, più in generale, a chi tra il 2009 e il 2011 si è reso protagonista delle lotte sociali in città. Settantuno anni di carcere distribuiti tra settanta imputati. Confermata l’accusa di associazione a delinque su sette imputati, alla base dell’inchiesta che nel 2011 aveva già prodotto l’applicazione di 35 misure cautelari utilizzate dalla procura per attaccare e intimidire le lotte che si producevano in città.

Solidarity letter from imprisoned anarchists comrades in Greece to Osman Evcan

Solidarity to Osman Evcan from Greece
Osman Evcan, who is imprisoned in the prisons of the Turkish state from 1992 and identifies himself as a vegan anarchist since 2003, is fighting a tough struggle for the rudimentary conditions of living, like the achievement of mail, telephone communication, information etc, with the main point being the vegan alimentation right. Since the 22th of February, he is carrying his 4th hunger strike for the same reasons, in a very short period of time from the last one, as they transferred him recently in L type prisons, losing everything he had achieved till now with his former exhausting hunger strikes.
We barely know him personally, but we cannot help but feel moved by the fact that in a country-war zone, an imprisoned comrade is choosing and insisting to raise the matter of total liberation of life from the shackles of civilization and authority. An imprisoned comrade who refuses to feed himself with corpses of animals, which have been tortured by the meat industry and all the derivatives of pain, who refuses to become a cogwheel in this bloodthirsty capitalist machine which is destroying and plunders the earth.

Conspiracy of Cells of Fire – FAI/IRF: The Free Besieged (Greece)

images4

Prison is a milestone in the revolutionaries’ path towards freedom. It’s an intermediary stop, but not the end.

The authority often chooses the subtraction from mathematics. Like when they subtract lives with bombings in the warzones of their energy-generating and geopolitical interests, like when they subtract refugees from the cityscapes, entombing them in isolated concentration camps, like they subtract the smallest crumbs of the underpaid wage slavery, beating more brutally with whips, bodies that have gotten used to rickets, like when they want to subtract everyone who defies them, by locking them up inside prisons…

In this way, every revolutionary anarchist is facing the biggest contradiction. They are fighting for freedom and yet they’re flirting with the captivity of the prison, they love life so much and yet death from the guards of authority wants to ambush them.

In these years that we are in prison, our steps have gotten used to be calculated inside the barbed wires, our eyes have learnt by heart every centimetre of these few cubic meters of the forecourt, but our minds have never been captured by the iron fences.

How can you let yourself capitulate, when you are facing on one side the provocative wealth of those in power and on the other side tearful eyes of a child at a concentration camp, on one side the mafia of the politicians, judges and journalists who are counting people like louses of the earth and on the other side men and women who are committing suicide because of the standoffs of the economic crisis, looking in garbage to find food, sleeping in the streets, on one side armies of happy slaves being dazzled from the storefronts and the screens of a fake life and on the other side the bad bevy of loneliness and silence being your only companion.

Denuncia del Okupa Che

la presunción de inocencia1

Alerta!!!

Aproximadamente a las 11 p.m del 20 de marzo del año en curso, un compañero salió del Auditorio Che Guevara, con rumbo al metro Miguel Ángel de Quevedo. A la altura de avenida universidad entre el “super K” y la unidad habitacional aledaña que se encuentran frente al walmart, cercano a una caseta de la SSP, todo esto a escasos metros de la UNAM, es cuando a nuestro compañero se le empareja y se estaciona un auto deportivo color amarillo y sin placas , de él descendieron dos personas de aproximadamente 1.80 metros vestidos de playera blanca, jeans azules y corte casquete corto; bajaron, lo golpearon e intentaron subirlo hacia el auto, cuando una mujer se percato del forcejeo, comenzó a gritar “ se lo quieren llevar” y las personas de su alrededor se empezaron a juntar , motivo por el cual tales sujetos frustraron el ataque y huyeron en dirección al metro Miguel Ángel de Quevedo.
