Declaration written by Nikos Maziotis, a member of Revolutionary Struggle – 24th October 2011. (en/it)

[Stop deception – Fighters are not terrorist]

This is a political trial against revolutionaries who chose armed struggle to overthrow capitalism, the State, and the criminal regime which you, as judges, are here to defend.
Your court is a special tribunal set up by American and British imperialists and by the guardians of the Greek state, who have imposed anti-terrorism laws and special rules that decide on the sanctions and make sentences heavier. They introduced special courts inside the prison, in a suffocating security environment which badly affects the publicity on the trial in order to prevent people from listening to the revolutionaries’ political opinions. On this occasion they applied special conditions of detention, with the aim of strengthening the repression against armed resistance and the revolutionary organization of armed actions in Greece.

Nikos Maziotis Statement to the Athens Criminal Court July 1999

Nikos Maziotis
Statement to the Athens Criminal Court July 1999

 

The following text is the translation of what Nikos Maziotis said to the court during his trial which took place on the 5th to 7th of July 1999 in Athens, Greece. He was convicted and given a 15-year prison sentence for ‘attempted explosion with danger for human lives’ and ‘possession of guns and explosives’ for his action of placing a bomb in the Ministry of Industry and Development on December 12, 97, in solidarity with the revolt of the villages in Strymonikos against the installation of a gold metallurgy by multinational company TVX GOLD. During the trial he again supported his choices politically, as he did from the beginning when he had sent a letter from prison with which he took responsibility of the action against the Ministry. Though he never accepted the charges the state was accusing him of, as revolutionary acts cannot be described in terms of the penal code. In that sense, this trial was not a typical procedure of convicting someone who pleads ‘guilty’ but it turned into a political confrontation as much between Nikos and his prosecutors, as between his comrades, anarchists and revolutionaries and the state and its mechanisms. This confrontation was strongly supported by the presence of comrades from Sardinia (Costantino Cavalleri), Italy (Alfredo Bonanno) and France (Hellyette Bess) who testified in the court in solidarity with Nikos and by the letters sent in support by the imprisoned militants of Action Directe, France, by the ABC of Barcelona and by other anarchist groups from Spain. All these together, along with the presence inside and outside the court of anarchist comrades and of course the speech of Nikos Maziotis against his prosecutors, gave a sense of the international struggle for freedom and of solidarity with all the people in revolt, with all prisoners captured in moments of the social and class war against the state and the capital.

Text by Nikos Maziotis, member of the Revolutionary Struggle about his transfer to the C’type prisons in Domokos – Greece

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

A few hours after Samaras’s government collapsed, because it was not
possible to elect a president of democracy on December 29th resulting in
the announcement of elections, my transfer to the C’type high security
prisons in Domokos was carried out. The transfer to the C’type prisons
is the final act of a government which could not take on, like the
previous ones, the weight of political social genocide it has been
enforcing for the last 2,5 years under the orders of the troika and the
transnational economic elite.
It is the final act of a government that proved that the regime that led thousands of people to death, sunk
millions into poverty, wretchedness, hunger and a whole population tohumiliation, is afraid of revolutionaries and armed fighters.

Grecia: Texto del compa Nikos Maziotis sobre su traslado a las prisiones de máxima seguridad de Domokos – es-fr

2

Mi traslado a las prisiones de máxima seguridad de tipo C en Domokos se realizó tras pocas horas del colapso del gobierno de Samaras, una vez que no fue posible la elección de Presidente de Democracia durante la votación del 29/12/2014 en el parlamento griego, tras lo cual se proclamaron elecciones para el 25 de enero de 2015. Mi traslado a las prisiones de tipo C es el último acto de un gobierno que, como los anteriores, no pudo soportar el peso de la política del genocidio social que va aplicando los últimos 2 años y medio, bajo las órdenes de la Troika y de la élite económica supranacional.
