Athens Indymedia and 98 FM under attack

dmol · Apr 14, 2013

The Athens branch of the Indymedia network was temporarily shut down last Thursday.
Same goes for the Radiozones of Subversive Expression 98 FM.
I say temporarily, cause the people involved and those in solidarity have already started - and will keep on - fighting till they get them back.

The Athens Polytechnic School's rector Simos Simopoulos caved under the Führer/Minister of Public Order Dendias's pressure cutting the internet supply on both the above freedom networks.

The way it's been going, next we'll hear that people in brilliantly democratic Greece are not allowed to publish books about freedom or question authority in any way for that matter.

For those interested, you can find the Greek page of Athens Indymedia on this alternate address http://indymedia.squat.gr/
For the English speaking, Contra Info posts relevant information here http://en.contrainfo.espiv.net/

There's been a call for international solidarity action in the week starting 15/4. As the post says, "Spread this message to anyone willing to act in defense of antagonist infrastructure and freedom of expression. This is a political attack and will be answered accordingly."

Athens.indymedia and 98fm radio are emiting RIGHT NOW throught NTUA's (Athens Polytechnic School) occupied rector. Athens imc collective called people to come over to the university now “Those who consider themselves as being solidarious with counter-information projects are invited to support us with their physical presence to intervene so as to keep those projects to emit through their physical space, as much as this is possible” the two media that were targeted by the state repression (through the intervention of the rector Simopoulos) from April 11, managed to emit because of the decisive action of solidarity.
For the same reason, a solidarity march/ demonstration will take place, starting from Monastiraki square, on Thursday the 25th of April at 18:00
We will win

In the morning of April 24th, as part of solidarity actions with counter-information media that were recently gagged by the Greek State with the aid of the rector of the National Technical University of Athens, Simos Simopoulos, a large banner was placed at Propylaea on Panepistimiou street in downtown Athens, that reads: “Raise your voice – Fight against state censorship – Athens.indymedia.org & Radio98fm.org” while a red and black flag was raised on the building, replacing their Greek national flag.
A couple of hours later MAT anti-riot squadrons and motorcycle cops encircled the building. More than 30 comrades who participated in the solidarity intervention were detained and transferred to the police headquarters, on Alexandras avenue.

There is a call for solidarity gathering outside the Athens police headquarters.

Update, 15.30pm: A total of 69 detainees are being held in the Athens police headquarters (including two tourists who were caught earlier by the police while they were passing by the site of the anarchist intervention). Almost ten detainees are currently held in detention cells while the rest are kept on the 7th floor. So, the detainees are not all together, and they have not been able to talk to lawyers as of yet. Approximately 200 people in solidarity are gathered outside the police headquarters, on Alexandras avenue.

Update, 21pm: Groups of detainees are gradually being released from the police headquarters, and welcomed by solidarians that remain outside. However, six of those caught in Propylaea have been separated from the other detained people that await their release. Cops continue to run identification checks on the remaining group, but these 6 comrades are still missing. The remaining group of detainees is writing a collective communiqué stating that no one will go till all can go, in solidarity with the 6 comrades who may face charges.

More info as it comes.
