[fse-esf] undercover police attack

[Yannis Almpanis]

Official announcement given by the Network for Political and Social Rights, 
on an "traffic" incident against a member of theirs

DENOUNCEMENT

On Thursday 17 May, at 4.45am, on the corner of the streets Filis and 
Pipinou, a car hit a motorbike ridden by Costas Moutzourakis, member of the 
Network for the Political and Social Rights. It was not an accident, since 
the car was following C.M for a lot of time and, at the point they crashed, 
it speeded up, hit the back of the motorbike and drugged it for at least 10 
meters, drove over it and smashed (whilst luckily the motorcyclist, after 
whipping back to the asphalt, stayed at distance, threatened by the car 
passengers). Three of the four car passengers, husky men in jockey caps, got 
out of the car and started kicking the motorbike, until they got back to the 
car and left. Neighbors wrote down the number of the car (YEN 7167, Opel 
Astra, dark grey) and they called the police.

This was when the plot of insensibility and police terrorism started, which 
is the reason for this denouncement: Both the patrols of the Police Direct 
Action and the Traffic Police investigation cars, which arrived in a while, 
when they were given the number and the description of the car and the 
passengers, they immediately concluded that there is no such number, they 
falsified the residents about the description of the car and the 
aggressiveness of its passengers, even threatening them so that they stop 
getting involved in the incident. After asking C.M if he is an anarchist, 
they told him that they cannot do anything and told him to talk with the 
insurance service. It was indicative, that while C.M. and the residents 
where protesting for not calling the headquarters so as to identify the car, 
one cop said to the others “They are our guys”, “Leave it”.

There is no doubt that the incident is a murderous attempt aiming to 
terrorize, performed by men of the Greek Police. There is also no doubt that 
the incident itself is directly related with the increase of the state 
repression in Exarchia and the effort to terrorize all those who react 
against such a cleansing. Though, we demand from the Ministry of Civil Order 
to refer to the incident, to provide details for the passengers of the car 
with the civil number YEN 7167 and start the procedure for letting them out 
of the Greek Police. As for us, as Network for the Social and Political 
Rights, we will enable every legal and political procedure for stopping the 
police brutality.
