A-Infos (en) Two actions of portuguese anarchists in solidarity to prisoners struggle in Greece

Friday, Nov.14, at 11h in the morning we distributed 200 A4-size leaflets in 
front and around the building of the Economy and Comerce Section of the Greek 
Embassy, in the center of Lisbon, leaving some of them inside the building also. 
The leaflets included a small introdutory text to the prisoners' struggle, a few 
of their demands, and a chronology of the events until that day. Besides, it 
also included the following text:" ---- Prison is everywhere, in all our life. 
Constantly we are watched, controlled, identified, listened… it is the cop, the 
surveillance camera, the court, the judge, the police station, and our entire 
reality of forced interactions. It is the fear of being what we are, of saying 
what we feel, of doing what we would like to do. It is the everyday misery, it 
stalks us in our memory, it is a permanent threat.

Prison is also that isolate building, where only the convicted and the hangmen 
are. It is the siege from where we can not leave, it is the guards that control 
and torture us, it is our body in the hands of the state…it is the walls that 
enclose and hide us, that push us away for years. It is the place where 
everything is taken away from us.

Prison is, at the same time, an idea and a building. But always a reality.
In Greece, like everywhere else, the struggle of the prisoners is the only way 
to face and fight the reality to which they are forced. To accept prison is only 
possible due to all the means of alienation the state uses, inside and outside 
the prisons, and that create a daily life of fear and resignation. What's 
happening today in the Greek prisons has born from the determination of 
individuals kidnapped by the state, and although we are outside the walls, that 
doesn't mean we're free. That freedom, we have to conquer it.


In Greece, in Portugal, and anywhere else, no condition of life inside a prison 
will ever be human, because that's impossible inside a prison. There's no reform 
of whatever nature that can, in any way, humanize this place where we're locked 
up; where everything, with the exception of dignity, is taken away from us.

But dignity will always belong to those who struggle, to the insurgents, to the 
individuals.


There are countless ways with which to show our solidarity and spread the 
revolt, attacking control and the controllers of this world; the first step is 
to decide on which side we are.


Having said this, the only "demand" we have is the destruction of every prison 
and of this prison-society!


SOLIDARITY WITH THE PRISONERS IN STRUGGLE IN GREECE!
