DEFENCE EXCERPTTS FROM Nikos Maziotis, Panayiota “Pola” Roupa and Kostas Gournas, in the case of the Revolutionary Struggle.

–          Nikos Maziotis;

Responding to the question “Do you accept or deny the charges?

“I am a revolutionary, and i am fighting an unjust, criminal regime known as the State and capitalism. If anyone should make a plea in defence, it is not me but those who are accusing me: the police and judges who serve the rich. I, for my part, am in the right, and I will not apologize for myself”.

–          Panayiota “Pola” Roupa;

Responding to the same question:

“I ama revolutionary, and I do not recognize your proceedings. The criminals and terrorists are you and the system you serve: the State and capitalism.”

–          Kostas Gournas;

The prosecutor: “What do you say in your defence? Do you accept or deny the charges?”

“I am not going to answer. I do not recognize these proceedings. Since the age of 20, I have been a worker and have taken part in the social and class struggle in Greece. I am against the regime, the political system, and the economic system. Iam not a terrorist. Terrorists are the ones on the 12th floor of the police headquarters who gave me a beating and threatened to kill my children.”

en es – Athens: Revolutionary Struggle case trial – In dedication to Lambros Foundas

Declaration of the members of Revolutionary Struggle on February 6th, 2012, regarding the armed scuffle of Dafni, in which Lambros Foundas was killed in battle with the police

The repressive operation against the Revolutionary Struggle started with an armed scuffle in Dafni on March 10th, 2010, when our comrade Lambros Foundas was killed in battle with the policemen Andreas Haskis and Theodoros Koumarapis.

Even though this incident became the starting point of the investigations which resulted in our arrests, the appellate prosecutor Makropoulos did not summon the two policemen killers of Lambros Foundas to testify in this trial, but only called to the stand the lady owner of the car which the comrades attempted to expropriate, with the aim of using it in an action of the organization.

en es gr- Athens: Written declaration to the court by Kostas Gournas, member of Revolutionary Struggle – October 24th, 2011

In April 2010, in a joint letter with my comrades Pola Roupa and Nikos Maziotis, we claimed political responsibilityfor our participation in Revolutionary Struggle (Epanastatikos Agonas). We declared that we’re proud of the organization and our fellow fighter Lambros Foundas, who was killed by cops in the armed scuffle of Dafni.

Today I’m standing opposite you, in this special court, facing grave charges that draw many years of imprisonment. All this time there’s been a systematic effort on State’s part at my expense, so as to bend my will for struggle: from the torturing and battering in GADA (Athens police headquarters) and my imprisonment far away from my children’s residence, to the committal for trial against my spouse Maria Beraha, who is present here as co-defendant. However, I’m standing here opposite you and I declare that I’m proud of my struggle, my comrades and the history of Revolutionary Struggle.

en it – Athens: Written declaration to the court by Nikos Maziotis, member of Revolutionary Struggle – October 24th, 2011

This trial is a political trial in which revolutionaries are judged, who chose armed struggle to fight for the overthrow of capitalism and the State, the overthrow of the criminal regime that you, as judges, defend. Your court is a special court set up under the orders of the American and British imperialists and custodians of the Greek State. They who enforced the lawmaking of special ‘anti-terrorism’ provisions which adjust more criminal charges and maximize sentences; they who enforced the establishment of special courts that sit inside prisons, within a suffocating security environment, and undermine the trial publicity to prevent the people from finding out on the revolutionaries’ political views; they who enforced the implementation of occasional special conditions of detention; and all these with the aim of imposing stricter repression against the armed resistance and the action of armed revolutionary organizations in Greece.
