In this session of the appellate trial for the bank robbery case in
Pirgetos Larissa, testified the officer of the anti-terrorist force
Hordalias as well as defense witnesses of comrade G.Sarafoudis.

Hordalias had nothing to say about anarchists Sarafoudis and Naxakis,
nor did he point out any proof of connection of the two comrades with
the safe-houses and actions of the organization they are accused of
being part of. Defense witnesses spoke of comrade Grigoris, how they
met, the relations that connects them and answered questions from the
judges.

Their initial sentences in this case were 16 years each. Comrades
G.Sarafoudis and G.Naxakis were arrested on April 30th 2013 in Nea
Filadelfia, together with the then wanted anarchist A.Dalios and F.Harisis.
Grigoris has also been convicted to 8 years in prison for a bank robbery
in Filota. The next session is on October 24th in room D120G at 9.00am,
when anarchist G.Sarafoudis will testify.

Freedom to all in prison cells.

We are at the side of our captive comrades.

Even if there are only ruins left in Aleppo, the bombings haven’t
stopped. Even now, after 5 years of bombs and sieges, people still
live in this city. Some because they didn’t manage to leave, some
because they didn’t see a better future in the Mediterranean’s seabed,
some because they refused to abandon the revolution against the
dictatorship of Assad, that started with the Arab Spring.

At Aleppo’sruins a guerilla war is taking place, that until now, Assad with
Hezbolah, Iran and Russian military machine haven’t succeeded in defeating.

If the things that happened with the repression of the Spanish Revolution
by Franco and the Nazis were the rehearsal for World War II, probably
the war in Syria is an image of the post-industrial future on earth.

 A future where the democratic excuses collapse and absolute violence prevails. A world, that despite the gigantic military power
of the tyrants, the most effective way to control the insurrection is
still by division. A situation of despair, where people in order to
defend themselves and survive, are organized in groups manipulated by
generals who only seek more power and who lead the revolting crowds
away from the struggle against the regime and into a fight for control of
the war zones of their interests.

The result is constant war, a profitable business for the
capitalists who sell weapons and armament to war zones where trade
and economy still exist.

The example of Syria’s punishment is a clear warning to everyone in
the world who even thinks about revolting.

In this chaotic total war, the reference points for us are the few guerilla groups organized outside the control the “moderate Muslims”
of Al Nusra, or the “cosmics” of the FSA, who are both manipulated
from the dominant powers of  imperialistic competition such as the USA,

and both have the same target, a big piece from the power reallocation.
In a situation where people are cruelly attacked from one imperialist,
and seek safety from the actions of its rival, we are affected by some
revolutionaries, like the Leon Sedov Brigade, who stand against any
imperialist and propose solidarity and unity among the repressed
of this world. We are inspired by the attempts of organization from
the Revolutionary Coordination Committees against the dividing of the
uprising, from the manipulative organizations.

Those rebels who try to self-organize in a battlefield with bombs and
chemical weapons, who are still fighting despite the heavy losses, who
prefer to die rather than surrender to the murderer Assad, who define
and defend their freedom at all costs, they spread the message that in
every condition struggle is possible if there is the will to fight.
They spread a message that the powerful military machines of Al Assad,
Iran, Lebanon, Isis, Russia and USA haven’t succeeded in defeating them
for more than 5 years.
