THE STRUGGLE OF THE 35 REFUGEES IS OUR STRUGGLE
On Tuesday 18th of July the Police attacked fiercely and without cause,
on site at the hellish detention center of Moria on Lesvos island and
arrested refugees and migrants of primarily African nationalities who
were in the middle of a peaceful protest about the lengthy delays of
approval regarding assylum applications they had submitted. They were
also protesting about the horrible living conditions at the detention
center of Moria. Right after the violent episodes that were actually
caused by the Police and after the violent suppression of the protest
gathering, the police proceeded with actions of sweeping arrests,
during which members of the African community were vindictively
percecuted and the 35 were detained.
The policemen were mercilessly hitting whoever stood in their way which
resulted in serious injuries for the majority of the refugees. The
beatings and the torture continued even after the arrests of the 35,
which were acted out randomly and without any evidence backing the
charges. Sole criterion was the color of the skin of the accused as it
was obvious that they were African migrants. The charges were identical
for each and every case. In the following days, 30 of the accused had a
change to make their statements and were rendered into custody and
subsequently transfered to prisons on Chios island and Athens
accordingly. As testified by the lawyers on their case, the living
conditions in those prisons are horrendous. There is dire need for
clothes, food and hygiene items for all prisoners.
During the attack of the Police against the Refugees inside the hellish
detention center of Moria, far right individuals acted in support and
shadowing the Deep State of the after civil war State. The government of
Syriza-Anel has full responsibility for the orgy of police violence and
the seemless collaboration of Police and the State within State of the
Far Right elements.

As the LESVOS COORDINATION MOVEMENT OF
ACTIONS SUPPORTING REFUGEES & MIGRANTS
We stand in solidarity and support to all 35 prisoners and we demand
their release.
The government is sending clear messages to all parties involved that
it will apply without any deviation all the clauses agreed upon using
any means to achieve this, dealing with direct violence towards
refugees, as well as, towards all in solidarity to them and citizens
alike, standing in its way.
These facts prove what is really included and implemented by the
EU-Turkey deal.
We directly accuse and hold the government responsible for the murderous
police tactics. We call upon all workers, the Greek people and the youth
in particular to stand in solidarity with every means possible to all 35
refugees, to guard their decocratic rights and freedoms in our country.
We make it clear in every way and tone of voice that we are side by side
with all refugees and migrants alike and we shall continue to stive
against the deterioration of the living conditions for us all.
• United actions of locals and refugees/migrants!

• Freedom of Movement to all country destinations of the
