On August 4th, because of a random police check just outside Sparta, the
journey of freedom ends.
Two different paths ended, two different beginnings, which however
converge on a common purpose. That of freedom. The freedom that was not
given to us and was not granted even for a moment. Contrarily, each one
of us, in our own way and with our own characteristics, fought very hard
for something most consider obvious.
We fought for every free glance to the sky, every free handshake, every
free hug, every free breathe.
We asserted what the persecutory mechanisms deprived us of, our only
weapons the endless desire for freedom, but also the courage we took
from the thought that we also continue to fight for those who stayed
behind.
On the other hand, on the opposite of freedom and life itself, we came
up against the uniformed murderers of the state, the obedient dogs, the
servants of the bourgeoisie and its capital. Those who did not hesitate
to shoot at us from behind, those who tortured us because we
instinctively did the obvious, trying to escape from their hands.
However, even if the bullets found their target, it would have killed us
and not our ideas. Because very simply, the tenacity of freedom is
intact over time from all sorts of persecutors and their weapons.
Because what we envision will never fit in the hollow heads of
authorities. And this is why, even if they kill us they will never
succeed in erasing the vision of revolution, which will continue to
inspire by passing the baton of the struggle to the next.
From the first moment of our arrest, the known media sewage began
washing up in a systematic way. With various badly fabricated scenarios,
they attempt to connect people and situations which are completely
unrelated with each other, in order to “prove” the theory of
communicative vessels in any possible way. This specific tactic does not
surprise us and we know the purpose it serves. But they will not get
their way.
In the recent years, both of us have received tons of mud and
misinformation from the planted crows of journalism, and we know very
well the obsessive revanchist practise of the anti-terrorist force
against people it has targeted. We remind them however -because they
know this very well- that you cannot fool people for ever and no way
will we be an easy prey for their teeth.
Someone is arrested with weapons… they are a terrorist.
Someone is arrested with shorts and sleeping bags… disguised into a
tourist so no one knows they are a terrorist.
So the journalists should know, that unreliability and ridiculousness
has hit the top and not their audience numbers.
Concluding, we salute all the comrades who stand by us, since words are
too little to describe our emotions when we saw the dozens of
solidarians in the courts of Evelpidon. It was factually proven once
more that solidarity has no holidays or vacations. Besides, all these
years of clandestinity we did not feel alone even for a moment.
P.S. Analytical statements about our cases and the incidents that took
place will follow in due time.
