Solidarity gatherings for the six anarchist prisoner comrades

April 26, 2010 - Comrades gather outside Korinthos, Trikala, and Thiva prisons where some of the 6 anarchists accused of the "Revolutionary Struggle" case are held.
In Korinthos prisons where Christoforos Kortesis is held, there were about 150 comrades. There were many cops, and they had closed all the roads with riot cop vans so there was no view of the prison and so no one could get close. At some point one van left and the people could see the prison yard. The comrades are chanting, throwing leaflets and a loudspeaker has been set up.
In Trikala, where Kostas Gournas and Vaggelis Stathopoulos are held, 100 comrades gathered and chanted while throwing leaflets, not a big police presence and after the gathering, there was a solidarity demo in the city of Trikala. In Thiva, where Panagiota Roupa, who is 8 months pregnant, is held (along with Kostantina Karakatsani now since friday, accused of the "conspiracy cells of fire"case), 150 comrades gathered.
The cops shut the road from far away so noone could hear them inside the prison. The people then cut through some fields and came up right next to one wing of the prison, they chanted and the prisoners responded with chants from inside. After a while, some riot cops showed up in the inside of the prison yard, where the people chanted and made fun of them. All demonstrations were very strong and emotional and finished with no trouble.
THE PASSION FOR FREEDOM IS STRONGER THAN THEIR PRISONS
FREEDOM TO THE 6 COMRADES ACCUSED FOR THE "REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE"
