Anarchists against prisons

Following the uprising in prisons all over Greece during April (

On Sunday 5th of November anarchists around Greece held solidarity protests outside 8 prisons, namely Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra, Heraklion Crete, Larisa, Volos, Ioannina and Komotini, to show that prisoners are not alone in their struggle for better living conditions and express their ideas against prisons as a notion and an institution.

In Athens the riot police attacked the demo of 800-1.000 anarchists, which resulted to clashes and tear gas.
