From discontent to protest, from demonstrations to clashes, attacks on the uprising - this is our way. But the state should get even, it has to show his teeth. It must impose misery, "socialist" redistribution of those at the bottom, to those who are at the top. And to no protests! That journalists were mouthpieces of the Government to ensure that judges and inquisitors were free from any restrictions imposed by law, the prison under heavy guard, the streets full of police who is ready to open fire.

To inspire people to fear, which leads to submission, the government should punish those who rebel and fight.As a result, we found ourselves in a situation where a number of our comrades have already been sentenced to long prison terms or are awaiting sentencing.

Our solidarity with the comrades captured by the enemy at this critical moment remains strong and is manifested in different ways. Anarchists and antiavtoritarii always expressed its solidarity with the prisoners of the class war in which all these years filled the prison.Part of this campaign of solidarity - a direct practical assistance to our comrades in prison, supply them with the necessary things that help them survive in hell "of democracy." Of course, should always bear in mind that this solidarity is not limited.

We know that prison is the greatest crime against humanity, it must be razed, so that even the foundation remained. We also know that the final destruction of the prison, in other words, radical, complete change in the world in which we live, there will be a gift from above, it also does not happen overnight, in itself, metaphysically.It comes from the struggle by non-stop clashes with everything that makes repression, exploitation, alienation. It comes through the people themselves, individuals who by virtue of its activities are in conflict and the struggle for the destruction of any power, for freedom.

The situation is dire. Eighteen fighters, anarchists are in the hands of the state, many of them sentenced to long life. Those who have not yet tried, is also likely to be sentenced to long prison terms.Yannis Dimitrakis sentenced to 35 years in prison for a robbery of the National Bank in central Athens. Polikarpos Georgiadis and Vaggelis Hrisohoidis sentenced to 23 years in prison for the seizure of the then President of the Industrial Association of Northern Greece (which includes all the movers and shakers of business). Ilias Nikolaou sentenced to 7 years for attempted arson of the building of the municipal police, and Giorgos Vutsis-Vogiatis is in jail for robbing the National Bank in the Athens area Gysi.

The remaining comrades are in custody awaiting trial.Karakatsani Constantine, Panagiotis Masouras and Haris Hadzimikelakis accused of involvement in "terrorist" organization "Conspiracy cells fire." Alfredo Bonanno Christ Stratigopulos accused of robbing a bank in Trikala, Aris Sirinidis - that allegedly he was the guy in the sombrero and Bermuda, who shot a police car in the Athens area Exarcheia summer 2009

Comrades Vaggelis Stafopulos, Hristoforos Kortesis and Sarantos Nikitopulos are in jail awaiting trial on charges of involvement in "terrorist" organization "Revolutionary Struggle", as well as friends of Paul Rupa, Nikos Matsiotis [in Russian sources, his name is usually transcribed as "Maziotis" ] and Costas Gurnas who admitted their involvement in this organization.

And, finally, was recently arrested comrades Simos Seisidis, which since 2005accused of involvement in a bank robbery with Yiannis Dimitrakisom and that it is a party invented the media and the police organization "robbers in black".When arrested, the police shot his leg, which subsequently led to amputation. Now he is in custody in St. Paul's Hospital in prison Koridallos.

Still, many comrades are wanted, as written orders for their arrest. Some are accused of involvement in the "conspiracy of cells of Fire", with their heads Grigoris Tsironisa and Marios Seisidisa a reward of 600,000 euros. All of these companions are accused of looting and "terrorism". One of the list, the fighter-anarchist Lambros Fundas, was killed in a clash with police in Athens near Daphne.

We're not talking about the pain caused participants to the anarchist and anti-authoritarian movement of these losses. We are well aware that the tightening of repression against the anarchists and others who are fighting for and against all the oppressed, the anger that this repression is increasingly cause, the result of the struggle that lies in the very existence of opposing forces.

December [refers to a powerful surge of social movement in Greece at the end of last year], stones, Molotov cocktails, the seizure of buildings, the expropriation of the banks, blasted institutions, armed attacks, strikes, demonstrations, blockade of the parliament, the attack on the president working GSEE (the trade union, which sold to owners) policy, which rounded up from the stands - all of these are not random accidents.It is also not accidental daily reality of struggle, collective action, friendly relationships, self-directed against the daily oppression. We feel his power and challenge the enemy.
