New anarchist prisoner in Greece

The night of September 8th during the Thessaloniki "Helexpo"
international fair some 30-40 youths wearing masks and helmets
lifted a banner with a slogan against the upcoming elections in
Greece and the forest arsons marked with an A circled outside the
Helexpo area.

Then there were some clashes in this area close to the
universities between youths and undercover policemen that raid the
universities and arrested a 19 y.o. anarchist woman outside the
university library. 2 more persons under arrest were taken
back-liberated by other youths during the clashes, three cops got
beaten up and a police car damaged.

The anarchist's name is Christina Tonidou, and she has written a
letter on her arrest that can be found here:

On the morning of 13.09.2007, Christina Tonidou was set in
pre-trial detention. According to greek law she can be held up to
18 months without a trial. She is charged with two felonies and
eight misdemeanours.
