STATE TERRORISM HAS NO BORDERS.
September 21st, 2009 by admin
On September 4, in Belgrade, anarchosyndicalists Tadej Kurep, Ivan Vulović, Sanja Dojkić, Ratibor Trivunac and Nikola Mitrovic, activists of ASI, were arrested, accused of the attack with molotovs against the greek embassy on August 25. The Serbian police is after one more comrade who is also accused of participating in the same action. The comrades were “kidnapped” by the cops from their houses, interrogated and detained since the prosecutor decided that they will remain in custody for at least 30 days. He also demanded that they are charged with “international terrorism”, an accusation which means that if convicted they will be facing many years in prison .
Their arrest and custody is completely arbitrary since there is no evident linking them to the specific action and all five of them deny the charges.
The attack against the greek embassy in Belgrade was one of the numerous actions of solidarity that took place during the hunger strike of Thodoris Iliopoulos, the last prisoner from the December revolt in Greece; actions that were the continuation of all those last winter’s mobilizations and direct actions of counter-information and solidarity around the world which had been triggered by the insurrectionary events of December.
The persecution of the five anarchosyndicalists who are well-known to the authorities for their ideas and their social anarchist activity, is an attempt by the Serbian state to intimidate those who struggle for social liberation. After all, it is a common method of the repressive mechanisms to target activists and frame them up with false accusations in order to achieve exhaustive prison sentences.
We stand in solidarity with the five comrades in Serbia who are held hostages by the state, and with all activists facing state violence. The global struggle for social liberation will sweep away the states and the bosses, their institutions and their repressive mechanisms.

Interview of Thodoris Iliopoulos
September 19th, 2009 by admin
Thodoris Iliopoulos gave a long interview to the web channel tvxs.gr (TV without borders), which you can find in greek here:
http://www.tvxs.gr/v21143. Amongst many things that he said about his case, the life in the greek prisons, the hunger strike, the life after prison, the social struggles and the solidarity movement, he was asked about the 6 anarchosyndicalists that are persecuted for the solidarity action in Belgrade. This is a translation of this part of the interview:
journalist: These days there is happening a mobilization for 6 persons for a movement that took place for you, while there had been developed already a movement and it was in the last days of your hunger strike. An action took place in Belgrade at the Greek embassy there. These persons were finally arrested and they are accused with very heavy charges, international terrorism is the charge that was attributed to them and there is developed a movement of support of those that supported then you. What do you think about that and I’d like your opinion generally for this situation.
Th. Illiopoulos.: I am aware of this situation. They face now charges that have from 3 up to 15 years imprisonment, if I remember right. International terrorism for 2 broken glasses? for a graffiti? terrorism… big words. In a few words, for me, this is not terrorism. Terrorism is what we face in our everyday routine. Wake up in the morning, go to a work, take the very few money, try to live with dignity. Manufactured needs. All these are terrorism. Now those that made an action of solidarity in support of me, are considered terrorists? I cannot understand this.

Solidarity by the “Autonomous group of PAMAK” (University in Thessaloniki)

PUT DOWN YOUR HANDS FROM OUR SERB COMRADES!
SOLIDARITY IS OUR WEAPON!
On 25th of August a group of 5 persons attacked with molotov cocktails against the Greek embassy in Belgrade, without causing significant damage. The responsibility was claimed by an organization with the name Black Sun, which, according to its statement, made this attack in solidarity with the hunger striker Th. Iliopoulos.
For this reason, the government of Serbia detained 5 anarchists and persecutes another one, accusing them for “international terrorism”. All are members of Anarchosyndicalist Initiative (ASI), an organization that is not related with such attacks, while the arrested also made clear that they have no relation with the attack.
For one more time, the basic characteristics of the security state, that is being built in every country, become visible: increased repression, attack at the parts of the society that resist (in the particular case at anarchosyndicalists) and imposition of the doctrine of order and security. The state tries with every mean to accentuate the repression against politically radical groups: it names a simple attack with minimal material damage as “international terrorism” and afterwards it persecutes anarchosyndicalists without any clues. Purpose? The demoralisation of every political criticism against the dominating mechanisms and the cracking down of the “internal enemy”. It is not important if this is named “anarchist”, “immigrant” or “koukouloforos” [trans: the Greek state names like this the rioters that hide their face, it means hood-wearer]. The important purpose is the creation of an enemy, the creation of a (marginalized) social group that will lead the rest of the society to the conservativisation and loyalty. In the particular case the state mechanisms acted as they are used to act: two molotov cocktails and an alfadi [trans: alpha in a circle, Ⓐ] are enough to persecute 6 irrelevant with the attack individuals, that are facing imprisonment of decades.The fact that they are in an anarchosyndicalist union is enough in order for them to form the role of the “internal enemy”. An “internal enemy” that the state structures will try in any way to not let it from moving aggressively towards the power. In front of the repressive mechanisms of the state, we shall not stand back, but we keep walking with solidarity as our weapon.
