Announcement from the 3 imprisoned members of Revolutionary Struggle organisation about the attacks to embassies in Rome.

 About the letter - bombs which were sent to the embassies of Chile and Switzerland in Rome on 23/12/2010, that had as a result the injury of two officials and the responsibility was taken by the organisation "Federazione Anarchica Informale - FAI - Revolutionary Cell Lambros Fountas", we have to state the following:

 As Revolutionary Struggle we were always chosing to bring out actions which a political aim. We were always aiming on the status - quo, the structures and those who represent and protect it. We were organising them (our actions) in such a way, so that to avoid injuries of people who were not among our political targets and we would have never brought out actions which could result the injury for example of a random embassy official, as it happened in the cases above with the letter - bombs. 

The above framework has always been a principle of action for us all and of course a principle of our dead comrade - member of the organisation, Lambros Fountas. For this reason we ask for not happening actions of such type in the name of our comrade.

Rome, Italy - Suspect package disabled at Greek embassy

reuters

27 Dec. 2010 - Police said the bomb at the Greek embassy resembled those which exploded in Rome last week, wounding an employee at the Chilean embassy and also a Swiss embassy staff member.
"The package was similar to the ones at the other embassies," Maurizio Mezzavilla, an official of the carabinieri, Italy's paramilitary police, told reporters outside the embassy, and said that anarchist involvement "could not be ruled out."
Police were called to the Venezuelan, Danish, Monaco, Kuwaiti and Albanian embassies and the Finnish embassy to the Vatican but found only harmless parcels.
But the discovery at the Greek mission highlighted a real threat.
"A suspect package arrived. We immediately informed the carabinieri who arrived immediately and neutralized the bomb," Michael Campanis, the Greek ambassador to Italy told reporters.
He said the package, addressed by hand, arrived in the embassy on December 24.
"We had not received any threats previously. The packet arrived on Friday afternoon when the embassy was already closed. The staff member found it this morning but security measures had already been stepped up," he said.
Last week, an Italian anarchist group called the Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI) claimed responsibility in a note for the parcel bombs at the Swiss and Chilean embassies.

Rome, Italy - The boy wounded at the Chilean embassy is Cesar

from informa-azione

we have received and are forwarding a few lines of an e-mail received in recent days:

"The Chilean boy wounded by the letter bomb is Cesar. A comrade and a friend involved with the experience of Ciclofficina Popolare (people's bike workshop) of the Ex Lavanderia (the former laundry).

We found out today.

Suddenly, for us, the natural compassion for an injured person is no longer tempered by anonymity.
Behind this story of national importance there is a person whose name, face and voice we know.

Now Cesar is in hospital, with two fingers less and we are angry.

Yet another anarchist refuses to appear before the public interrogator to testify for the “Revolutionary Struggle” case

Wednesday, November 3, 2010     http://www.occupiedlondon.org/blog/2010/11/03/407-yet-another-anarchist-refuses-to-appear-before-the-public-interrogator-to-testify-for-the-revolutionary-struggle-case/

translation from the anarchist blog Resalto.
Following Katerina and Lida Sofianou, E. Vlachou is the third comrade who refuses to appear before the public interrogator who called her to testify as a “witness” for the “Revolutionary Struggle case”.
So far, at least 24 people have been called for such “witness statements”, who are either comrades, friends or relatives of the accused for participating in Revolutionary Struggle – or even, because of unbelievable inklings, such as a finger-print in a book or a communique in one of the houses of the arrested. This is clearly a widening of the capacities of the repressive manipulative tactics, with post-civil war-type invitations: “we require you to attend regarding a case of yours”.
The stance of the three comrades shows the capacity, both at present and in the future, for richer and more collective refusals against the crystal-clear intention-attempt of the state to criminalise political, personal or family relations and the anarchist/ anti-authoritarian movement as a whole. Following the path of the struggle for social and personal emancipation, with jumps out of the society-prison, it continues even inside the state chambers, it does not converse with the executioners of life and envisions a world that is free, without exploitation or submission.

Solidarity gathering Monday 1st of November,Appeals Court, Athens

Maria Beraha (the partner of Kostas Gournas) and  Nikos Malapanis, were both charged with participation in the Revolutionary struggle group. Appearing before the prosecutor general this morning, they were both released pending their testimony in 11 November 2010 the same time 9.00 Appeals Court, Athens.

Kostas Gournas and Nikos Maziotis are taken to “Laiko” hospital athens.

Kostas Gournas and Nikos Maziotis are taken to “Laiko” hospital athens. Both of them have been on hunger strike for many days. Kostas started and Nikos followed in support. The two accused of participation in the organization are being treated, already, in koridallos prisons and on wednesday night the doctors judged, with the agreement of the prosecutor, they had to be moved to the hospital. Both are well in their health.

Public announcement concerning the mass calls and interrogations in the frame of the “anti”-terrorist campaign:

The same moment that the imprisonment of the three anarchists (Sarantos Nikitopoulos, Vaggellis Stathopoulos, Christoforos Kortesis), who are accused of participation in the revolutionary organisation “Revolutionary Struggle” without any evidence is extended, as well as the three fighters (Panagiota Roupa, Nikos Maziotis, Kostas Gournas) who have taken the political responsibility for their participation in “Revolutionary Struggle”, The same moment that Kostas Gournas, is in an advanced phase of hunger strike, since the 13th of October (with the support of prisoners, with hunger strikes and prison food denial), while the juridical mechanism denies his transfer from Trikala prisons to koridalos prisons, keeping him far from his family, The same moment that the imprisonment of anarchist Aris Seirinidis is extended, with an official charge unheard of and supported by the scientifically unfounded and juggling method of DNA analysis, The same moment that the state and bosses start the most barbaric postwar economic and ideological attack against society, having equiped and educated an enormous police-antisocial army, The judges call in the masses for interrogation, people from the social environment of the imprisoned, their relatives and politically active anarchists, without a specified subject of investigation, other than a general mention of the “anti”- terrorist law , (“we call you to be questioned as a witness for the Par.b 187 A P.K [greek antiterrorist laws official name]), without naming in the calls and during the interrogations the invoking clues of personal relations with the defendants or relations with Revolutionary Struggle. Precisely as they called the fighters to police stations after the civil war and in the dictatorship “they guessed”. The interrogations had been announced in advance in an article of newspaper “to Vima” (the stand), which fulfils at influx the propaganda of the provocative scenarios of the cops, spearing the big part of the journalistic world that serves the organisms of government owned terrorism. The interrogative operation seeks the intimidation of a political movement and a social space and the beam measuring of its relations, its reflexes and the attitude of those who fight, in the direction of generalised penalization based on the special laws and in the direction of the diffusion of suspiciousness and of destruction. Indicative it is that the questions concerned the social relations, elements of the personal life and the political opinions of those called. With this frame it invests in the stigmatization of those called for interrogation, The same moment that the indirect tortures of anarchist Simos Seisidis is continued, who is kept, being amputated in one leg, after he was shot in the back by a cop, from a distance of smaller than one metre and moreover being accused of a case of the “anti” - terrorist law also supported by the method of DNA analysis. The same moment that the murderers of immigrant Mochamed Kamran Atiff, which were tortured to death in the police station of Nikea in October 2009, continue to “work” the same posts. The same moment that the executioners of working immigrant N.Tonti, who was murdered by the police with fifteen bullets in February 2010 in Byronas area (athens), are around still armed. Terrorism will not pass. Some of the called “as witnesses for the Par.b 187 A P.K” Solidarity is our weapon.  boubourAs translation acforfreedomnow.
