#481 | Riot police encircle the Law School in Athens in apparent preparation for a raid as migrant hunger strikers vow to stay – constant updates
At this moment (17.45 GMT+2) heavy riot police forces have encircled the Law School building in Athens, immediately after the decision by the 300 migrants in hunger strike to stay in the building. The migrants’ assembly decided they would stay despite the demand by university authorities and the government that they move out. The assembly justified the decision based on the fact that the building used by the migrants is unused by the university (under construction) and that the building proposed for the transfer does not meet basic huigenic conditions.
It is very likely that the riot police will now attempt to violate the academic asylum and raid the Law School.
More updates as they come.

Solidarity to the struggle of the 300 hunger strikers
How many times do they have to risk their lives in order to confirm their and our existence?
In order to have the right to live with dignity and hope, in a country that seeks for scapegoats in those who are the most vulnerable and weak.
For the migrant who, with his/her own blood, his/her poorly paid work and his/her creativity, make the country’s economic machine move on.
For those who’re seeking for freedom and fleeing from neediness, war or some other short of «peaceful» occupation, cross the borders in search of a better life.
For the migrants who lost their lives at the national borders of the European countries, for the 13.000 certified victims of the security doctrine since 1993 and the thousands of persons still missing.
For the migrants’ children who from their early age grow with legal and social constraints and exclusions.
In order to bring forward and establish to the common consciousness, as struggle and cause, the joint social interests of Greeks and migrants who produce the social wealth in every short of services, in constructions, in factories, in the fields, in domestic works – as well as the common social interests of the unemployed people.
For the reasons mentioned above and other unmentioned here:
- We express our solidarity to the 300 migrants, hunger strikers
- We demand the unconditional legalization for all migrants
- We support the migrants’ demands for equal political and social rights and duties with the Greek workers

300 hunger strikers
Update for last night events.
After many hours of negotiations, an agreement was reached to transfer the 300 hunger strikers to a different building in the center of Athens. The building is large enough to accommodate everyone, clean and in well structural condition. The strikers marched to the new building with hundreds of supporters and surrounded by huge police forces. Around the streets of Athens thousands of Greek anarchists where demonstrating their support and solidarity -- loud enough for the immigrants to hear them!
The immigrant strikers will continue their struggle for their right to be legal and free in a country that they have been living and working (i.e., oppressed) for many years now.
This agreement, peacefully ends the latest chain of events that woke up sensitive memories to the Greek people, and for that reason, the first battle has been won. The Law School, which the hunger strikers have squatted the last two days, was in '73 the battlefield of another squat, that ended violently, against the military coop established in Greece. This led to the student revolution of the '73 where dozens of comrades were killed. Since then, all buildings that belong to a state university in Greece are protect with academic asylum, meaning that no police is allowed in.
The fight for the immigrants still continues. We are all immigrants.
