Solidarity actions
Since the first day of hunger strike there have been dozens of solidarity actions by anarchist comrades all over Greece from demos and taking over of radio stations to attacks on police stations, bank explosions, even a huge banner demanding their release attached to helium balloons that was set off in the air amongst hundreds of unsuspected cops during the new year’s eve Athens city center celebration at the fireworks display to the embarrassment of gathered politicians and tv crews that were broadcasting live the event. Also, in Salonica the baby of Jesus Christ was stolen from the city’s christmas crib while in its place a cd was left with propaganda material demanding the release of the prisoners.
Posters in solidarity demanding their release can be found at
