THESSALONIKI: SOLIDARITY MESSAGE FROM INSIDE THE POLICE-SURROUNDED UNIVERSITIES

In the besieged city of Thessaloniki because of the E.U. leaders summit, certain spaces inside the university were chosen by anarchists and anti-authoritarians as places for meeting and communication between comrades from Greece and abroad, as a place to stay and for sending out counter-information.
Throughout the days leading up to and during the summit assemblies, discussions, film-shows, etc were held inside and there were self-organized groups for food, medical and legal support.
During the demonstration of June 21 against the summit of the 25 E.U. criminal and murderers, after the clashes between the black bloc and the police in the centre of the occupied city, the massive use of tear gas and even the use of rubber bullets that led to injured, the police proceeded to beat people and make mass arrests and beating people.
At the end, riot police squads surrounded the space of the universities where the people from the demo were withdrawing, and fired tear-gas inside, while the campus authorities had a meeting about whether they would allow the police to invade.
At this moment, the universities that continue to host activities of counter-information and assemblies are still encircled by a police army.
We, comrades who continue to stay inside, demand that all police forces who conserve an atmosphere of keeping the people hostage retreat now! We demand the immediate release of all the arrested from the June 21 demo and we call everyone to mobilize in solidarity.

FREE THE ARRESTED OF THE JUNE 21 DEMONSTRATION!
