ATHENS: High School students joined the trade union march. They pelted riot police with stones and paint. In the suburb of Kaisariani the school students attacked the local police station.
Meanwhile, a group of anarchists attacked the central courts while inside Alexandros’ murderer was appearing before the prosecutor. The court’s control room and a media van were set on fire.

Looks like the cops are off the hook!?! ACAB!!
Wish you luck!
if you can try posting a bit more information, translate the more important things that ppl post on the athens and patras indymedia
keep up the great work
YOU NEED TO GET ANARCHISTS TO SEIZE THE MEDIA, RIGHT NOW! YOU MUST BROADCAST YOUR SIDE OF THINGS, DENOUNCE THE LIES IN THE CORPORATE MEDIA REPORTS, AND RALLY PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THE SIDE OF FREEDOM AND EQUALITY AGAINST THE FASCISTS AND POLICE WHO WORK TOGETHER!
Seize the media to spread the revolt!
Seize space to draw clear lines and create autonomous zones where police can’t go and neighborhood assemblies can begin to meet, and land, buildings, and goods can be re-distributed while the struggle continues. this is the only way!
first, the writing and reporting on this blog is excellent. thank you.
from the USA, i have been closely following the events in greece and have felt inspired, hoping that the riots become something more than riots and move beyond greece’s borders. i begin to wonder what could be the next step: for days, rebels have rioted in the centers of greece’s major cities and have smashed and smashed. while we could call this ‘propaganda by the deed’, it seems that more needs to be done to articulate the rage and to perhaps identify some goals (destruction may be a short-term goal, but it certainly is not viable as a strategy in the long-term). i should note that it is completely possible that this may be happening in greek and is not being translated into English; so far, I have read two communiques coming out of universities, the words of one has even landed on an English language poster (http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2008/12/102016.html) – we need more of this! in this sense, this blog is performing an important service, especially by making news available in several languages (English, German, French)
the international media has drawn its own conclusions about the causes underlying the fires: they speak of economic crisis and disparity between the rich and poor in Greece; hopefully, the rebels themselves will begin to articulate their message.
in solidarity!
theres information in english beeing posted on the UK indymedia page too
Thanks for these infos you write here during the struggle.
We try to translate most of the important infos from here what is not in the massmedia and spread around us in hungary
Keep up, be smart and whatch out!
in solidarity
This site is great. I’m compiling mainstream and anarchist reports, video, photos, and calls to action on my site, The Center For Strategic Anarchy (strategicanarchy.blogspot.com), as well as directing readers here. If the folks running this site wanted to add a link to my site, that’d be very cool, and might be helpful to readers since Infoshop is loading very slowly right now.
Oops, the proper URL is anarchiststrategy.blogspot.com
A sympathy demonstration has just been held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The demonstration tried to reach the Greek embassy, but went into confrontations with the police, that tried to block them. 32 arrested for vandalism in the inner city…
This paper tells a little, but it’s in Dansih: http://politiken.dk/indland/article611172.ece
Repression is global, but so is the fight for freedom!
thanks for the support and your interest.
Media all over the world are covering the issue… not because they think it’s interesting or anything but because they are afraid of what could be coming their way. and it is coming their way.
Greek media keeps spreading lies about the causes of the uprise. they insist calling the students and other protesters “hood-wearing hooligans”…
I work in Palio Phaliro. Around ten cops of the Zita force (bike riding motherfuckers) started shooting right outside my building.
from some mailing lists in turkey, we’ve read about the attacks of fascists. one of them had an information about a young girl’s being stabbed by the fascists.
have you got any update about these attacks and the latest situations over there?
on the stabbings: it is extremely difficult to confirm just exactly how many have taken place. There were at least two in Athens on Tuesday night though and possibly one in Patras on Tuesday too.
Merhaba arkadaşlar/Hi my friends,
Ugur Kaymaz and his father killed in front of their home(21.11.2004). 13 bullets are taken out from his tiny body.. His killers (4 policemen) were acquitted of murder. But we did not do anaything, because we are sheep. Because Uğur Kaymaz and his father were Kurds.
Festus Okey (25) killed by police, because he was a negro…
Cagdas Gemik (only 18), polise order “stop!” and he didn’t stop. Polise killed him.(30.11.2008) 3 bullets are taken out from his head…
Because, he was an Alevi.
Engin Ceber(29) died during TORTURE(28.10.2008-8.11.2008)… His friend (only 17) become paralyzed, police shoot. He and his friends protest this brutality and they arrested…
Again and again we did not anything,
because…
Excuse me for my bad language.
I live in Istanbul, near Thessaloniki.
no, polise polise

comrades:
both the athens and patras indymedia sites appear to have had all their contents purged. clinking on many links, i see only blank pages with a timestamp on 1970.
can u provide more information? is this a technical glitch? are u being hacked?
It’s a technical glitch and happens often – the server overload is simply tremendous, with Athens indymedia receiving around 20 times its daily average. It should be back soon…
