The interview that follows was conducted by Ntina Daskalopoulou and published in an Athens daily this morning. It is translated and posted here as is: with no comments, additions or explanations – none is needed. After 36 days on hunger strike, Thodoros’ words are crystal clear. In his face, the State has found an enemy to unleash all its revanchist rage, some rage in reality directed against an ever-growing current of disobedience, resistance and solidarity. As long as there are people like Thodoros standing up to the wrath of the State, the next December will always be close. In the struggle against their order, Thodoros is not alone.

Eight months in pre-trial detention for December’s events, the last one also on hunger strike. His anticipated release in July never came, the theatre of the absurd of the charges against him continued and Thodoris remains incarcerated. But a fighter. This time, his “weapon” is his own body. He spoke to us over the phone from the prison of Korydallos. From there he sees the revanchist face of the State, that Greece of violence and repression but also another Greece of the restless youth, of the faith in ideals. Insisting on his innocence and his own beliefs. Paying dearly for both.

The insurrection in Greece left some comrades and rebels behind bars. The judges and the state would like to use them now as scapegoats, because someone has to pay. However they are no scapegoats, but struggler, who need our active solidarity. Here a appeal in support of the imprisoned ones and a letter from Apostolis, one of the anarchist prisoners, who sat in prison Korydallos in Athens till end of June for more than six month.

With every passing day, a new article about the recent death of a comrade in France appears in the bourgeois press. The story uncoils piece by piece. We will keep on following the events, therefore keep an eye on our website, as soon as any updates are available, they will be published there. For the ones, who speak French, are not in prison and have access to Internet, we recommend the website for the anarchist publication “Cette Semaine”, www.cettesemaine.free.fr (which is always worth reading). These words were written around the 15th of May.

We have tried to write down these few thoughts but we find it extremely difficult to express our feelings by words. However, we try it, especially since these facts have not yet been made public.

Amadeu Casellas has been locked up in Catalunya for over 22 years, and in that time he has been active in the struggles of prisoners of the Spanish State. He is currently being held for longer than the law permits, and last year carried out a 76 day hunger strike that ended with the prison authorities promising to begin his release process.

Five days after beginning his hunger strike, Amadeu Casellas finds himself in a delicate situation, his health is deteriorating faster than he had anticipated, and in just five days he has lost 7 kilos of bodymass.

We have two classes of justice, that of the rich and that of the workers

As the majority now will know, since the 20th [of April] I am again on hunger strike for the farce they have maintained during these last 7 months, the jailers, or better said, the hit-men of the Spanish and Catalan state which keeps me sequestered breaching their own laws.

We all know that we have two classes of justice, that of the rich and that of the workers. For the rich their fascist constitution and more concretely, articles 10-14-15-24 & 25. They speak of dignity and of inviolable rights, the norms relative to the fundamental rights and to the liberties which the constitution recognizes in conformity with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the international treaties and accords about the same materials ratified by Spain.

After more than 7 months since leaving the last hunger strike that lasted 77 days, I make this refection and evaluation.

Salud Comrades!

The strategies that are maintained by motives of politics and force, from the Dirección General, with personalities like Jordi Torres, who was one of those responsible for what started the last hunger strike, because he was the subdirector of treatment of the Quatre Camins jail and for this, had to have known that the treatment team of the MR-3 was sending false notices, as much to JVP nº 1, as to the very Audiencia Provincial of Barcelona, now results that is found in the DGSP, I suppose like a prize for the services lended in Quatre Camins, for what I understand I have a direct enemy in the very Dirección General, for that which is evident is that it is one of those that is against my release from jail.

On the 2nd of April, prisoners destroyed the new isolation unit in the prison of Brugge (Belgium). This new isolation unit was opened almost ten months ago and apparently didn’t reach it’s objective to break the spirit of rebellion amongst certain prisoners (see our previous communications for more information). The riot and destructions obliged the prison directories to close the new unit down.
Nothing is over, everything continues.
