Athens 12/7/2005

The penalization of every action taken by anarchists in the name of «anti»-terrorism measures has led, during last May, many comrades to the prison cells of the Italian «Democracy».

One month later the State’s suppression attacked those that expressed their solidarity to those resisting it. In June 25 in Barcelona, the solidarity march to the imprisoned Italian anarchists was ended before it was even commenced resulting to most of the demonstrators being wounded by the riot police, 7 arrests and the imprisonment of the Italian comrade Alberto Maria Bettini till this day.

We have just taken over the Spanish Institute «Cervantes» in Athens, as the least symbolic manifestation of solidarity to all those that were arrested in Barcelona in June 25th and the imprisoned and persecuted anarchists in Italy, while at the same time demanding the immediate release of the Italian imprisoned comrade Alberto María Bettini and Francesco Goia who are still detained inside Spanish prisons.

We denounce the State’s attempt to legitimatize preventive imprisonment and compulsive measures towards people that have done absolutely nothing more than demonstrate in solidarity to political prisoners, whether they are in Italy, Spain, Greece or anywhere in the world.

We demand an end to the current persecution of people for their political beliefs in Italy, Spain and Greece.

For As Long As There Is Even One Prisoner In The Hands Of The State, No One Will Be Free
