Greece - letter from Sarantos Nikitopoulos (accused in the Revolutionary Struggle case)

act for freedom now!

Six months after my arrest I remain imprisoned in the idyllic conditions of the Greek prisons.
ACHTUNG ACHTUNG!!!
ANNOUNCEMENT OF GREEK POLICE HEADQUARTERS
a. Are you an anti authoritarian, anarchist-communist, leftist, unclassified with participation in social struggles? In a nutshell, are you part of all these “dirty ones”, that disturb the order in our otherwise lawful state with no reason or cause?
b. Are you an owner of a gas mask (for fighting the tear gas) consequence of your above choice?
c. Have you ever met in broad day light at a busy place with friends and comrades (without anything unlawful happening before, during or after your meeting)?
d. Have you ever been to a masquerade party, having also a wig in your possession?
e. Do you inform yourself from the media and happen to have a copy of “the pontiki” newspaper with the published communique of Revolutionary Struggle?
If you have all the prerequisites, than congratulations
YOU WIN:
1st An amazing arrest by our service, which includes a search in you residence, unlimited publicity for your face, plus free view of the new full face mask collection of the security forces during your interrogation.
2nd Your deliverance to “independent justice” with a mountain of articles and almost all of the penal code on your back… From there on try to figure it out…
And 3d and best: Your imprisonment, with immediate procedures, in a wonderful, airy and sunny basement cell in Koridallos prison.
Please, all interested-suspects phone 170 or 1971, so we don't have to bother, and to stop any further humiliation of our charges and service.
THANK YOU!!!
BESIDES THE JOKE THOUGH
Almost 6 months after my arrest I remain imprisoned in the idyllic conditions of the Greek prisons, since my application of release was denied, for the funny reasons above.
Which means my persecution is clearly political and of a completely sane type and is based on the fact that I am an anarchist-anti authoritarian with a continuous participation in social struggles, also because all these years (over 16) of my action I had the luck to know and be connected by friendship with the wonderful person and fighter Lambros Foundas.
BESIDES THAT, NOTHING:
Because obviously whoever goes on demonstrations with gas masks, reads the “pontiki” and other newspapers, meets with friends and comrades and owns a masquerade wig, is a member of Revolutionary Struggle or other organizations.
As an anarchist I never had illusions about “justice” and “lawful civilization” and this is confirmed creepily the last period of time on my life. This, of course, does not mean that I will sit and mourn and patiently endure the situation, which the cops and their political leadership has brought me to. This authoritarian click that through big talk such as “social justice”, “anti authorutarians in government”, “struggle to save the country” etc., led society to the vice of the I.M.F., at the same time updating oppression and sinking the weak social parts into a bleaker future, helping the capitalists and their economic interests.
THE WALL OF SILENCE MUST BREAK
It must break on all levels through struggles. Solidarity to the struggling prisoners is only one of these levels and my personal opinion is that we should not look at it with introversion and divide it from the present social situation.

P.S. 1 To the prime minister of the troika and the I.M.F.: No more “anti authority”, we are full….
P.S. 2 To the minister of justice: My congratulations for your prisons… What ever any one says about you prisons is little. Bravo, continue this way.
