About the eviction of the camp in Tsamakia, Mytilene
Today at 6 o’clock in the morning Wednesday, April 20, 2016 the camp in Tsamakia of Mytilene was violently evicted by strong police forces.

This morning at 6.00 am, police surrounded and forcibly evacuated the “No border kitchen” camp in Mytilini. All 350 immigrants and refugees were arrested and trasported to the detention centre of Moriα, whilst 19 solidarity members of the camp were detained for 3 hours before letting them free without charges. Police brought bulldozers and they demolished everything. Now there is nothing there to remind that in this place 350 people have found shelter for over a month and every day they were provided with proper food, clothes and medical attention.
This incident is not the only one. The last 2 weeks, authorities are targetting solidarity structures all over Greece. Yesterday they invaded the Soli Cafe in Chios, today they took down the “No border kitchen” camp in Lesvos. Now its time to intensify our solidarity efforts.

In July 2015 our friend and comrade got arrested at a passport control at the Greek-Bulgarian border. The Europe-wide arrest warrant against her had been issued by the prosecution office of Aachen, Germany, on the 24th of June 2015. In Germany she got locked up under the ‘U-haft‘ (Untersuchungshaft) regime in Cologne because of a presumed involvement in an armed bank robbery that had taken place two years earlier (2013). On the 2nd December 2015, after months of investigation the prosecution formally charged her with bank robbery, hostage taking and weapon possession. On the 16th of December, the court called the prison instructing them to release our comrade because all charges were to be dropped, since the “evidence” that months of investigation produced was not sufficient for this case to be brought to court.
