Those lost in the fire of struggle never die
On the 31st of October, anarchist Kyriakos Ksimitiris was killed by an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipoi area in Athens, Greece.The only ones who can talk about our comrade are all of us who stood beside him in assemblies, actions, demos, and clashes.
For many years, Kyriakos had been incessantly present in groups of solidarity to prisoners; in the antiwar-internationalist movement; in actions to defend the neighborhood of Exarchia; in struggles in the universities; in the defense of squats and in every social and class struggle. He was dedicated to it, always willing to explore together its most rebellious aspects. He wasn’t simply defending the struggle by all means for social liberation from a theoretical perspective, he truly incarnated it. Comrade Kyriakos chose to fight until the end, by all means, against the world of power, state, capital, racism, patriarchy. He chose to fight on the side of the oppressed and the revolted, for a better world; for a world of solidarity, equality, freedom.His loss creates a huge void for his family and friends, his comrades who stood beside him; a void also for the struggle, to which he left his mark by his attitude and words. Anarchist Kyriakos Ksimitiris was one of us. We will defend and safeguard his memory forever in our hearts and in every moment of our struggle.
“I know you despise them because the Court is so well armed, but let me tell you that they are so confident of their power that they feel their importance. They are come to that pass that they do not value your forces, and though the evil is that at present their strength consists only in their imagination, yet a time may come when they may be able to do whatever they now think it in their power to do.”
Comrade, we will meet again in the streets of fire where you will live forever…
Strength to our injured comrade Marianna until liberation. Honor to the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Ksimitiris.
Solidarity with all those persecuted for the same case
anarchists – communists

There is a international call for solidarity actions on the 16th of November (https://athens.indymedia.org/post/1632649/)
Anything that we as anarchists from the Netherlands can do would be meaningful to our comrades in Greece and the world.
Attack a structure of domination, make a solidarity banner, poster meaning full texts on the streets!
