Text of anarchist hunger striker Nikos Maziotis about the CCF members’ hunger strike – 05.03.2015

NO ONE LEFT ALONE IN THE FACE OF STATE REPRESSION

Political prisoners have currently launched a hunger strike in Greek prisons beginning from March 2nd 2015. Some of them, like me, have a common context of demands regarding: the abolition of the ‘antiterrorism’ legislations, the abolition of the hoodie law and the type C prisons, and the release of the convicted 17N member Savvas Xiros on health grounds.

At the same time, the political prisoners of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire have also begun a hunger strike, demanding the release of their family members who were recently arrested and placed under preventive detention, after it was disclosed that CCF members organised a plan to escape Koridallos prisons.

Regardless of differences in demands, I support the CCF prisoners’ struggle as regards their demand. Despite the political differences between political prisoners and the problems that have arisen among them, despite the different context of the hunger strikes, I believe that people in solidarity, the anarchist-antiauthoritarian space should support all political prisoners. No one should be left alone in the face of repression.

Prison food abstention in the prison of Neapoli in Lasithi, Crete

As of today March 3rd 2015, A.M. and E.K., two of the women incarcerated under appalling conditions in the female section of Neapoli men’s prison in Lasithi (on the island of Crete), abstain from prison food in a display of solidarity with the political prisoners who have launched a collective hunger strike. In the text that they delivered to the prison administration they mention their willingness to escalate their protest in the coming days.
