In memory of Kyriakos Xymitiris two days solidarity fundraising against repression in Berlin and Athens.

On July 3rd and 4th we invite you to 2-days of discussion, music and other creative activities, drinks and nice food. The purpose of this coming-together is to raise money in solidarity with imprisoned anarchist comrades in Greece from the Ampelokipoi case and with comrades here in Berlin who have been facing repression after soli-actions for the case, and to remember our fallen anarchist comrade Kyriakos.

Friday, July 3. Info event: The struggle continues – voices of (ex)prisoners and discussion about terrorism, internationalist struggles and solidarity.

There is a connection between the escalation of a global regime of war, collective responses from below, and the state’s application of anti-terrorism laws. In order to isolate and silence (resisting) people from movements and society, they are persecuted as terrorists or treated according to the same logic.

We see this with the anarchist prisoners Marianna and Dimitra in Athens, with the PalestineAction prisoners from the UK through the Czech Republic to Ulm, and with Palestinians worldwide. It is also a historical pattern, directed against the armed organizations that emerged from the ’68 movements in Western Europe.

On the one hand, we want to analyze what the current times — which we have described as the escalation of a global war regime — mean. On the other hand, we want to discuss what stance and what values we need for our struggles, which we must ground in a global perspective, with the prisoners at the forefront.

In this event, we would therefore like to hear from prisoners (via phone, in writing, or via voice message) and then hold a joint discussion. We want to bring together current and historical perspectives.

Where? Rigaer94 (Rigaerstr. 94, 10247 Berlin)

The doors open at 5:30 pm. At 6:00 pm the call with Marianna and Dimitra will start. The call will be followed by the voices of current and former prisoners in Germany and UK.

Live music: Hip hop performances, Yona Ro
