[London/Glasgow] Actions in Memory of Kyriakos X. and Solidarity with Imprisoned Comrades in Greece

On the night of 16/11, the international day of action in the memory of anarchist Kyriakos X., messages were written on the walls of the South Side in solidarity with the imprisoned comrades Marianna, Dimitris, and Dimitra, and in the memory of Kyriakos.

After the arrest of Nikos Romanos on 18/11 and his subsequent imprisonment based on a single print on a plastic bag, comrades in London put up a solidarity banner:

Since then, one more anarchist comrade has been arrested in Athens in connection to the Ampelokipoi case.

HANDS OFF ANARCHIST COMRADES IN GREECE.

Banner Drop @ Baile Hoose in Solidarity with the Occupied Prosfygika Neighbourhood in Athens

The historic Prosfygika buildings in central Athens have been occupied for years, housing, among others, refugees, militants, and various collective bodies. In the early hours of 22/11, cops raided the prosfygika, in the targeted kidnapping of one comrade. In the afternoon, they raided two blocks of the Prosfygika, while an urgent assembly was happening, arresting a total of 79 people. Throughout these two raids, militants defended the occupied neighbourhood with tooth and nail (and rocks, fireworks and doors,) using their own bodies as barricades in the defence of the homes of the struggle. The comrade who was initially kidnapped remains a hostage of the state.

As a minimal act of international solidarity, on 24/11, we dropped a banner stating “Solidarity to Prosfygika – 10, 100, 1000 Squats all over the World”. Our choice of spot was not random; we symbolically chose the gate of the site which housed the Baile Hoose squat for a month in 2021, defying the militarisation of our neighbourhoods and lives during COP26.
