Month: March 2015

From Act for Freedom Now:

“Comrades, the political prisoners are already on the 10th day of the
hunger strike. It is very positive that the assembly supports all
demands of the political prisoners despite the differences in the
demanding frame, in order for no one to be left alone against state
oppression. You are definitely already discussing solidarity acts that
will take place in the immediate future. I know that one of these acts
is a demonstration in the centre of Athens. In my opinion, concerning this proposal, this demonstration should not exclusively have the characteristics of solidarity to the political prisoners on hunger strike, but must be connected and place the matter of the revolutionary prospect, the matter of revolution. Because social revolution and solidarity to the political prisoners are linked and directly connected…”

In Kavala, Greece, the Kokkino radio station and syriza office have also been occupied. Meanwhile back in Athens, the signal of occupied Kokkino has been cut off, but the occupiers continue to broadcast online.

Radio Kokkino (pro-syriza radio station) was occupied today by supporters of the hunger strikers. More updates as they come. . .

An excerpt from their communique: “We of the occupation of “Kokkino 105.5″ are taking things into our own hands and making counter-information a weapon! This action is a part of the polymorphous movement of solidarity with the imprisoned hunger strikers. For the victory of the hunger strikers! Destroy all prisons!”

The government has not met all of the demands of the hunger strikers with their recent parliamentary bill, thus as of now the hunger strikers will continue the hunger strike.

More updates as they come. . .

Victory to the struggle of the hunger strikers

Since 2^nd March 2015 onwards dozens of political prisoners are fasting in protest of the “anti-terrorism crusade”, materialized in the form of the special suppressive/legal foundation that has been consolidated in recent years and the now-permanent “constant state of emergency” regime, as well as the detention of their family members.

We, as the Assembly in Solidarity with the Hunger Strikers, support with the entirety of our strength the struggle of the political prisoners and fight with them for:

• Withdrawal of the special anti-terrorist legislation and specifically the terrorist and criminal organization laws (laws 187A and 187)
• Withdrawal of the special repressive laws (anti-hoodie law).
• Abolishment of the “C-type” prisons that constitute the finalization of the separation and exemption status of political prisoners.
• Delineation of the use and processing of DNA as legal
• Immediate release of Savvas Xiros who is being slowly exterminated over the past 13 years by the vengeful state despite his 98 % disability
• Immediate release of family members of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire (CCF).

The political prisoners’ hunger strike is inseparably connected with yesterday’s and tomorrow’s struggle.

The political prisoners are prisoners of war waged against the state and capitalism, whilst remaining at the frontline of this struggle.

Struggle until the demolition of every last prison

Freedom to the political prisoners
