en it – Greece: Solidarity poster and callout for imprisoned anarchist Olga Ekonomidou

 

Prison abolition is what we fight for, since the prison system is only meant to isolate and exterminate people. Even by their own laws, any inmate’s isolation from the general prison population cannot exceed 10 consecutive days. But Olga has been in disciplinary/solitary confinement since May 4th, 2012, punished for defending her dignity and opposing strip searching. It must be noted that, after taking off their clothes, women are also obliged to squat so that the prison guards can look into their vaginal cavity (supposedly for anti-drug controls).

en es it – Greece: Letter of CCF member Olga Ekonomidou (in solitary confinement of Diavata prisons)

 

Saturday, June 2nd, 2012

In this moment I am writing these few lines from inside isolation; 30 days of solitary confinement is the price I pay for my refusal to sell out my dignity and obey the humiliation of a full body search, which would last 5 minutes.

I remain unrepentant in my decision. I won’t give away even a second of compromise to prison guards. I will not exchange my refusals and choices with the ‘warmth’ of a standard cell and the ‘liberty’ of yard time among the general prison population.

Grecia – Libertà immediata per Andrzej Mazurek

da 325

trad. ParoleArmate

Alla fine dello scorso anno abbiamo ricevuto notizie sulla condizione di Andrzej Mazurek, un polacco imprigionato a Dicembre 2008 e tutt’ora prigioniero dello stato greco. I compagni a lui vicini hanno già descritto la sua situazione, ma in modo frammentario e ambiguo. Grazie agli anarchici greci siamo riusciti a contattare lui stesso e a chiedergli le circostanze che hanno portato al suo arresto e imprigionamento.

Freedom for Andrzej Mazurek, last prisoner of the 2008 Revolt (Greece)

From Anarchist Solidarity + RAF.espiv.net:

At the end of last year we had received news of Andrzej Mazurek’s state of affairs, a Polish man who has been kept in prison since December 2008, he is a prisoner of Greek state (see: 1). Comrades tied with Andrzej Mazurek had already described his situation, but the description was fragmentary and ambiguous. Thanks to Greek anarchists we were able to contact Andrzej himself and ask about many circumstances resulting in his arrest and imprisonment.

Andrzej comes from a small town Nowa Dęba in Podkarpacie, Poland. He left Poland in 2007 because of ilegal issues. He led his life as a working immigrant. On the 6th of December 2008 two policemen, Epaminondas Korkoneas and Wasilios Saraliotis had shot a young anarchist Alexandros Grigoropoulos on one street in Athens. This event resulted in unexpected chain reaction putting together every day experiences of thousands of young Greeks, immigrants and all other groups existing on the margin of “normal life”. The streets of majority of Greek towns were full of anger towards capitalist civilisation of death. This event is even now called the Greek Revolution 2008/2009. Andrzej was not indifferent to police murder showing antagonisms lurking under the surface of capitalist normality. He joined groups fighting against the police and taking back the life-giving space from the city desert. Let’s read what Andrzej has to say about his experiences. This is a part of a letter we have received:

Panayiotis Argyrou; Political Statement to the Court, july – Athens

On November 1, 2010, Panayiotis Argyrou was arrested in Athens alongside Gerasimos Tsakolos during the wave of incendiary package mailings initiated by Fire Cells Consppiracy. Both comrades willingly admitted to their participation in the organisation. Argyrou had been named in the October 2009 arrest warrant charging him with participation in the fire Cells Conspiracy, and he was also awaiting trial for setting fire to a city bus.

On January 16, the first Fire Cells Coonspiracy trial began – the so-called “Halandri case”” – and Argyrou was one of the nine defendants. In protest against the trial conditions, he and three other defendants walked out of the courthouse at the end of January and never returned.
