Arson Attack in Solidarity with the Prison Struggle in Athens, Greece

Claim of Responsibility (Athens)

We claim responsibility for the arson of a vehicle belonging to the municipality of Kaisariani (a town in eastern Athens) at midnight on September 26th in an aggressive display of solidarity with the struggle that prisoners all over Greece have been fighting for the last month against the new law announced by the Minister of Justice Florides and the arbitrary actions of the prosecutor’s office of Lamia.

The government being in a panic, unable to manage the crises that have arisen immediately after its re-election, tries to satisfy its conservative audience by attacking the prisoners once again, knowing that the wider society is permanently apathetic towards them.

No squat evacuation, no tightening of alcohol laws, no ministerial resignation and no Kasselakis breakfast* will hide or justify those murdered by the state this summer. We will be here to remind you!

Immediate satisfaction of the prisoners’ demands!

Immediate release of Dimitris Koufontinas and Nikos Maziotis!

Solidarity with the occupations!
