[14. Jun 2009]
This is a translation of the "Red Anti-Reporters" (Kokkinoi Anti Reporters) report published at the athens indymedia. 50 people were arrested on June 11, 2009, only hours after the Governement annnouned its plans.
It is the first time we intervene in this way about the pogrom against immigrants the state machine and the deep state fascist bastards of Golden Dawn have launched.
Because the reality - either we like it or not - is a long way from the platforms, the revolutionary keyboard verbalisms and the solidarity, resistance and disobedience to the police that DID NOT TAKE PLACE YESTERDAY (June 11, 2009) against the encirclement of the streets of Socratous, Sofokleous, Agios Konstantinou and Piraeos.
The Police occupied the area since 20.00. A similar police operation was set up in the square of Aghios Panteleimonos, manned by riot squad, Golden Dawn fascists and people shrieking gibberish.
The wider area from Omonoia square to the Larissis train station was occupied by the police. Cops in groups of 4 or 5 patroled and did checks in shops as well in the street, in Omonoia and Aghios Konstantinou Ave. (They entered a coffee shop in the ground floor of the building of the left newspaper Avgi. A journalist had a verbal conflict with the cops).
In the Court of Appeals building people had not taken notice of what was going on around, since no one had informed them about. Police forces of various types and police vans were patrolling in nearby streets since 20.30.
Other vans were parked in Omonia Square along with dozens of police motorists and undercover cops. The traffick police station at the train station Larissis as well as the section Patisia police station were shielded.
Cops with bulletproof vests were guarding outside the Aghios Panteleimonas police station, and had small talks with the fat pig-headed "indignant citizens" [the Golden Dawn fascists].
The same situation at the Aghios Panteleimon square as well: the fascist killers of Golden Dawn hanging out with the cops, the riot police, the undercover police... In other parts of the area extending from Omonoia to Aghios Panteleimonas big motorcycles with their plates covered were waiting.
In June 11's pogrom in Athens against immigrants and... undesirables, the first part of the summer project of repression took place. They will keep doing that, clearing people, and will be announcing the numbers "50 illegal immigrants arrested today". Tomorrow, 50 more. Tomorrow 50 more and so on.
Still, comrades, do not fear. Police terror will be embedded.
The immigrants left in the Court of Appeals building are few. They will leave; gradually the government troops of the new junta will be invading the building; they will find it empty; the cops will be arresting the immigrants in the small allleys around. And we will not take notice or we will underrate the news....
Until then, the police will be arresting people and without us taking notice, the refugee camps (in Aspropyrgos, in Schisto) will be operating....
Then operations will take place against our haunts, squats and free space, laws agains the weraing of hoods and university asylum, and then ... then we will wear hoods and be sent in small new Guantanamos in the burnt pine forests of the mountains ... already set on fire for the new season... or in the operational refugee camps' hell....
No one did anything against the June 11 pogrom. This was an effective plan by the police, with a very large police force, the armored vehicles and motorcycles of the Greek democracy. In full cooperation with the deep state and the fascists of the Golden Dawn.
When a whole area in Attiki is occupied by the police and the deep state, let us not just sit on our keyboards and write bullshit.
No one did anything on June 11 and the cops roamed loosely performing a major "sweep operation"at ease ... As if this is nothing special. As if this is something natural to happen...
PS: In the Aghios Panteleimonas square fascists and riot squads expelled two news agencies photoreporrters.
