Athens, Greece: Election kiosks torched & vandalized in solidarity with anarchist prisoners

On Saturday 19/9 at dawn, we tried to disrupt even temporarily the conformism of the petty masses. As the crowd was sharpening its passivity, ready once again to show its complicity by supporting the authoritarian structure, we tried to actively declare our complicity with the anarchist prisoners, who carry out their own fight against the isolation and alienation their are subjected to in the condition of imprisonment.

Evi Statiri, partner of Gerasimos Tsakalos, is on a hunger strike since 14/9 demanding only the termination of her unjustified detention. Evi Satiri, victim of the authority’s generalized power expansion strategy is imprisoned in the cells of democracy since 2/3 when she  was arrested together with Angeliki Spyropoulou and Athena Tsakalou in Salamina and is accused of being member of a terrorist organization without any evidence whatsoever . It is certain that Evi is not held hostage by the state by accident. Authority, beyond the psychological test to which it wishes to put the comrades of CCF in order to avenge them for their consistent and uncompromising aggressive attitude, has a much more dangerous target in its plans. The democratic totalitarianism of order, legality, safety, quietness, commodities, and economic domination wants to eliminate everything that questions the choices which the masses are allowed to consume from its one-dimensional reality of the spectacle.

The total expansion of a reality with predefined movement limits doesn’t allow its questioning, much more the transfer from the abstract space of ideas to the physical armed confrontation with the materializations of institutional power. Those who negate the existent, should firstly be punished and eliminated and secondly, since no punishment can erase events, have their choices isolated, marginalized, ridiculed and communicated in the rational control tanks and their bearers. Anarchists urban guerrillas who attempt a radical deconstruction of modern life, should literally disappear from the social terrain in order for the smooth operation of the system and it is a natural consequence by which no one should be surprised that family members and friends are prosecuted, following their choice to have relationships with people whose history should be deleted from the social memory.

Under these conditions we wanted to disrupt the daily flow of news, information and events of an election campaign, we placed incendiary devices at two election kiosks, one of the Communist Party and one of SYRIZA in Ano Patissia, and vandalized one kiosk of ND (New Democracy) in Kifissia. Although there are many reasons to attack these political parties, the choice was essentially arbitrary, so we will bother explaining any special reasons for these attacks since as anarcho-nihilists we are hostile towards every political structure. The time frame of the attack however was not arbitrary at all. Our choice to attack a day before the elections was aimed to disrupt the democratic spectacular relations where domination demonstrates its ideological omnipotence. Elections also are fully adapted to the existence of the modern slave who was asked to give away a life whose rights have already been taken, to the hands of a specialist. The votes deposited in the ballot box bear the imprints of an abandoned life and a rented consciousness whose every desire is the product of social imperatives, independent only to the extend that it confirms the one-dimensional civilization of the authoritarian world.

It is obvious that the choices and issues of anarchist prisoners have no place within the borders of domination and that is why we as anarchists take up the task of establishing the flow of our own world against those who in the face of the fear of a chaotic life chose to seek refuge in the smoothness of authoritarian realism. In contrast with the procedures for managing the masses, the issues concerning anarchist comrades are directly linked to us and we are prepared to assist them when necessary. Far from reproducing nihilistic intellectualism and the commodified notion of violence for violence, expressed by discontented crowds, let us go on the offensive always according to our desire for action. Let us put an end to the graphic reproduction of phrases spoken too many times and harmless slogans and let us begin to live the war for which so much ink has been spilled.

Immediate release of the hunger striker Evi Statiri, not because her imprisonment is “illegal” or “unjust” but because we demand it.

Immediate granting of educational prison leaves to Nikos Romanos

Insurrection News received on 08.10.15:

Attending solidarity call to Evi Statiri we share with you a book which speaks about what triggered after the arrest of the fugitive Christos Xiros, the discovery of an escape plan to escape from Korydallos prison by Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, Imprisoned Members Cell; the subsequent manhunt against comrade Aggeliki Spyropoulo and her detention with relatives and friends of CCF comrades, and finally, the hunger strike for over 30 days in which they put their lives at risk.

It also has a prologue by CCF, imprisoned members cell.

We are interested that the experiences of CCF`s escape attempt and subsequent hunger strike could be transmitted as an expression of anarchic ability to build our offense in an autonomous way, as a part of our defense and dissemination of every indomitable and antagonist attitude against Power.

The most of the text were taken from the related anarchic webs.

Also, this book has a Spanish version, with translations made by us and other comrades.

Without another word, we share this book with you.

Greece: Freedom For Evi Statiri

Insurrection News received:


On March 2, 2015, Evi Statiri, along with others, was detained under accusation of participating in a 'terrorist' group. The Greek state claims that she was involved in an escape plan by the imprisoned members of the anarchist group Conspiracy of Cells of Fire (CCF), simply because she is the partner of member Gerasimos Tsaklos.

Shortly after the detainments, the members of the CCF and another arrestee, anarchist Angeliki Spryopoulou, began a hunger strike demanding the immediate release of their friends and family. After 31 days of hunger strike, with some strikers approaching death, the left wing management agreed to their demands. However, after months of waiting, Evi remains in prison.

There is only one goal behind Evi and other friends and family of the CCF being taken as state hostages: to force the members of the CCF to bow their heads, to sacrifice their desire for freedom, to compromise with incarceration, to become disciplined prisoners, to agree to psychic death at the hands of the state. At the same time, it is a clear message to comrades who choose to engage in practical solidarity, that prison's door can be opened for them too!

On September 3, the Judicial Council is going to decide on the extension of the pre-trial detention of Evi Statiri.

On September 2, let us the challenge the world of organized apathy with hostile gestures of insubordination. We will continue the war of anarchy until all those locked in the state's dungeones are free. Total solidarity with Evi and all those held in the state's dungeons!

Greece: Text by anarchist prisoner Angeliki Spyropoulou in memory of Mauricio Morales

Note: Mauricio Morales was a young anarchist from Chile who was killed in 2009 when the explosive device he was carrying en route to the prison guard school in Santiago exploded prematurely.

When memory becomes a weapon…

Real life belongs to those who, unwilling to accept any restrictions or chain, arm their desires with strength and courage, follow the instincts and impulses that bloom in them and search for absolute freedom. To those who cast themselves into the abyss and at the same time, are launched to the stars. Such paths are as charming as they are uncertain. These people, unlike the cowardly masses, prefer a life with intensity, regardless of how long will it last. So, having lived with fullness, they can accept their death when the time comes.

Six years ago, the black veil of death covered such a man, anarchist Mauricio Morales. Today, it is proved that neither time nor distance are able to make us forget. It is very important not to get stuck between oblivion and the anniversary ceremony. Comrades like Mauricio Morales remind us of the importance of the continuation of the war we declared against all aspects of the modern civilized world and its morality.

There is no worse death than the one without a cause, the one that is not covered by the wings of an idea and an idea that becomes a dangerous practice, such as the one we shared with Mauricio. As long as we breathe and remain consistent, we prove that tragic losses like his are not without a cause, as long as the fire that burns our heart and leads our minds, the same fire that burned within him too, still burns, then our dead will live through us, through our actions. They will be those bright stars that will accompany each of us, the nights when our negations will become conscious choices and these, in turn, will become actions…

Transforming rage into attack…

Now and forever…

Angeliki Spyropoulou
