Updates on anarchist/anti-authoritarian prisoners in Greece

 `
Information about the 6 arrested alleged "terrorists"

On Tuesday 7th of December 2010 the first 2 of the 6 arrested allegedly part of a "terrorist organization" were imprisoned.

Alexandros Mitrousias was sent to Patras prisons and Kostas Sakkas to the prisons of Navplio.

THE WEAPONS FOUND IN AGRINIO WERE ALSO FOUND TO BE "CLEAN" AFTER EXTENSIVE BALLISTICS EXAMINATION.
As it appears, the efforts of the anti-terrorist police to connect the guns that were found in the possession of A. Mitrousias and K.Sakkas, and those that were found in the house in Agrinio, with terrorist attacks and specifically with actions of the Sect of Revolutionaries were fruitless. Specifically, the ballistic examination showed that the guns that were found in a"safehouse" on the corner of Daskalopoulou and Praidou street have not been used in any terrorist action.
THE OTHER FOUR OF THE ARRESTED ALLEGEDLY PART OF A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION ARE IMPRISONED FACING 4 FELONIES AND 2 DELINQUENCIES BASED ON THE ANTI-TERRORIST LAWS
The imprisoned are Stella Antoniou, Dimitris Michail, Christos Politis and Giorgos Karagiannidis who, after the completion of their pleas before the interrogator and the public prosecutor are confronted with charges concerning "offences" of constitution and integration in a "terrorist organisation", "terrorist organisation", "terrorist actions", "possession and manufacturing of explosives" and "aggravated case of gun possession".
All that remains is to see what attitude the alleged terrorists will maintain.

Panayiotis Giannos (released!)

Panayiotis Giannou was arrested on October 7 for "possession of an incendiary device," a charge that in the past has sometimes landed people in pre-trial detention, and sometimes not. History is also very ambiguous when camping gas canisters are involved. There have been trials in which they were considered "incendiary devices," but there have been plenty of cases in which they were designated as "explosive devices."
AFTER THREE MONTHS IN PRISON ON JANUARY 2011 PANAGIOTHS GIANNOU IS OUT...! RELEASED.

GIANNIS DIMITRAKIS TRIAL UPDATE

SENTENCED ANNOUNCED
23/12/10
Today the final sentence was announced at the Court of Appeal for comrade Giannis Dimitrakis. The sentence after the fusions is 12,5 years of imprisonment (less than the 35 years he got at the first trial).
All together he was found guilty of the robbery in the National Bank on Solonos str, (7 years imprisonment), guilty of psychological support in the attempted homicide of the bank guard (6 years imprisonment), guilty of participating in a gang (4 years imprisonment), guilty of using a gun (2 years imprisonment). He did not get any mitigation (Giannis was shot and severly injured by cops outside the bank) with but with the fusion of the sentences the final sentence is 12.5 years. The sentence he still has to serve in prison is 3/5ths of the total, so Giannis still has 7.5 years to do. He has already served almost 5 years.
The room was full of supporters, that burst out in slogans and clapping after the announcement of the decision. The presence of the cops was discreet without EKAM (Greek special forces) and masked ones as at previous trials. The speeches and points made by the defence lawyers were remarkable and they didn't speak of a "victory" of course but of a "proportional sentence that corresponds to the charges"
The comrade was led again to prison with his fists raised and in the next days he is expected to be sent to Domokos prison from the prisons of Koridallos where he was held temporarily for the trial.

The 3 members of Revolutionary Struggle

Letter from the Revolutionary Struggle Three

On April 10, 2010, the Anti-terrorist Department of the Greek Police arrested six people in Athens :
Nikos Maziotis, Panagiota "Pola" Roupa, Kostas Gournas, Vaggelis Stathopoulos, Sarandos Nikitopoulos, and Christoforos Kortesis. All were known for their long presence in the anarchist/anti-authoritarian movement. Two weeks later, Nikos Maziotis, Pola Roupa, and Kostas Gournas admitted to participating in the organization known as Revolutionary Struggle (Epanastatikos Agonas). Stathopoulos, Nikitopoulos, and Kortesis denied the charges and stated that they were being persecuted for their years of anarchist activity and their comradely political relationships with the others.
The following is the complete declaration of the Revolutionary Struggle Three:
A POLITICAL LETTER TO SOCIETY
We are taking responsibility for our participation in Revolutionary Struggle. We declare that comrade Lambros Foundas, who died in Dafni on March 10, 2010 after a battle with the police, also participated in Revolutionary Struggle. The battle was part of the subversive project decided on collectively by Revolutionary Struggle. It was a battle for revolution and freedom.

Those accused of involvement in the kidnapping of a senior economic official.
on February 17.2010, anarchists Polys Georgiades and Vaggelis Chrysohoides were being handed convictions of 22 years and 3 months imprisonment each. The two received near to the maximum sentences allowed for the kidnapping on June 10, 2008 of Georgios Mylonas – the boss of Alumil SA, one of the larger aluminium system suppliers in Europe, and president of the Northern Greece Industrialists at the time (gaining a questonable fame with declarations such as “workers need to fasten their belts harder”).

Anarchists solidarity protest outside Korydallos prison, the main prison in Athens, at the time of the change of the year. This protest happens every New Year's Eve for the past six years. This year more than 400 people took part in the protest that interacted with the prisoners inside through shouting mutual slogans and fireworks. The main slogan was "The passion for freedom is stronger that your prisons".
