Our Solidarity Is Non-Negotiable!



On the same day that the personification of evil decided to bite the dust, 6 Greek comrades went on trial in Thessaloniki as a result of the violent eviction of Delta squat on the 12th of September 2012. In the subsequent trial-farce in September, ten arrested comrades received suspended sentences and were ordered to pay fines (7,950 euros in total). One of the arrestees, anarchist immigrant Gustavo Quiroga, remained incarcerated and was even deported to Colombia on the 4th of November. That same month, the Greek State unleashed a new round of prosecutions against 6 of the anarchists that were arrested during the eviction. The 6 comrades are now accused of disturbance of the domestic peace (since 2008), as well as aggravated damages on the building of Delta squat. What’s more, the Alexandreio Technological Education Institute of Thessaloniki, which claims legal ownership of the evicted building, is letting it rot while its administrative board is seeking compensation of 3.5 million euros for alleged damages caused by the squatters. The trial was suspended to the 2nd October.

By popular demand the militant ska punk band Spanner are returning from
Bristol, to play for anarchist prisoners and liberated spaces in Greece.

In the last few months the Greek state has made its intentions clear
against the anarchist/anti-authoritarian circles. A repressive campaign
has been unleashed upon squats, social centres and other liberated spaces
in the country, especially in Athens, where two of the oldest squats Villa
Amalias and Skaramaga/Patission 61 were evicted, also in Thessaloniki
where the Delta squat of five years was violently evicted and torture of
prisoners reported.

This gig is to help raise financial support for those waiting or
undergoing trial due to the evictions, particularly for those of Delta
squat, Thessaloniki.
