A few weeks ago, we received a call for solidarity that again would unfold the imperialist agenda of the US in Europe, in front of our eyes. The greek political prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas is back again on hunger strike, his condition is serious and the Greek government has more impunity than ever due to the severe lock-down and increased state repression the country is going through.
It is in such moments where we must act if we consider ourselves revolutionary forces. Ignoring Dimitris, just because this is happening in another country, is not to consider yourself seriously fighting against repression and capitalism.
As a group fighting against colonialism, we feel inspired by the fight of Dimitris Koufontinas. But we also feel threatened by the same structures that prohibit him to see his family, that are trying to erase his political subjectivity, and torturing him; willing to break his conviction.
It is in such moments where we must act if we consider ourselves revolutionary forces. Ignoring Dimitris, just because this is happening in another country, is not a consider yourself seriously fighting against repression and capitalism.
“This is an attempt to bring down a human being. Not for what he is but for what he symbolizes”, says the declaration he wrote the day before entering his 4th hunger strike in prison.
