... Punching bags for the state security forces, moving targets in the sea routes and the mountain borders, prey to the bosses for whom they work, redundant populations in the sterilized prosperity. The waves of migrants who arrive massively in greece mostly from the balkans and eastern european countries at least for the last ten years, are faced with the most fierce class, racial and sexist -when it comes to women- oppression, and continuous repressive attacks. A number of them is pushed to construction works and in the fields as cheap labor force, as expendable modern slaves that are needed for "economic development"; totally depended on work for their survival and for "having the right" to remain in the country, while women have to exchange their body for it. At the same time, the state propaganda about "war on crime", police "sweeping" operations and deportations, detentions and the supposedly accidental firing of police guns which cover many murders, all together secure the ostracism of those who are not digested in production and create a permanent state of terrorism for the submission of the others. Based on this ceaseless crime, the state has forged the construction of social consent for the material and institutional armament of repressive mechanisms and cultivated fascism.

... Today, refugees and immigrants are one of the "disproportionate threats" according to "war on terrorism". With their lives looted by the wars and peace of the bosses, more and more people escape to the western metropolis to carry the despair of this war inside the world that launched it in the first place. For the guards of order and control they represent a threat of "destabilization" with their "suspicious" cultures and beliefs, but also with their rage, famine and poverty. A threat because they don't share the same civilization with the "humanist" West, and even if they wanted to share its capitalist dreams, it doesn't have room for them. It builds these dreams on them not for them. In reality, they are the ones who suffer the disproportionate war of state and capitalist terrorism, and if they truly represent a threat, it is this threat that all the oppressed and damned people are for the bosses, the same threat that all of us should represent.

... The greek state, because of its geo-political position in the southeastern borders of the european fortress, has undertaken big part of the general operations to push back the refugees' waves that come from countries of Asia and Africa, mainly though from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey and Kurdistan. Those who are not drowned in the Aegean sea or killed in the minefields of Evros, in the borders between Turkey and Greece, those who survive days of travel without food or water are lead to concentration camps, with port and riot police corps watching them all the time, before being deported.

New inter-state agreements come to fortify the criminal colaboration in the persecution of economic and political refugees, like the new "cooperation protocol between Greece and Turkey for repression of illegal immigration", signed by the ministers of foreign affairs of both countries. For the year of 2001 the maritime ministry announced that (only by the harbour police forces) 6.864 refugees were arrested. For the year of 2000, the minister of public order stated that "360.000 illegal immigrants were deported, due to our excellent relations with Turkey, the Balkan countries, Albania and Italy".

- December 6. A boat with 202 refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan approaches the coast of Chania, in the island of Crete. The greek police restrains them in the airport of the city, in a cage 10x10, to wait for their immediate deportation. After the mobilization of locals and after the situation was made public, 99 refugees from Afghanistan and Iraq received the pink card (permission to stay for 6 months) and were transferred to Lavrio camp. 84 immigrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh began a hunger strike which started January 10 and lasted for a few days, some of them demanding political asylum and others to take the pink card. On January 24, the ministry of internal affairs rejects the political asylum applications. The police operation to transfer 54 Pakistani immigrants to Athens begins. The goal is to keep them in detention center in Athens and then send them back to Turkey through the port of Pireus. Anarchists, anti-authoritarians and other locals in solidarity with the immigrants gathered in the port of Chania with banners and slogans and blocked the entrance of the boat that would transfer them. The harbor police and riot squads attack the people, in order to let the police vans inside the boat. Clashes break out, the demonstrators resist and the police operation fails; the immigrants return in the airport of Chania. - January 29. The police repeats the operation, this time taking from Chania the 21 Sierra Leone immigrants and moving them to the near-by city of Heraklio (Crete). Anarchists and other demonstrators gather in Heraclio port and try to hinder the boat from sailing with destination Athens' port, Piraeus. The police charges against the people who resist and refuse to leave. Many demonstrators injured before finally dispersed with tear-gas. January 30. When the boat with the 21 immigrants arrives in Piraeus at 5 a.m., there is a new solidarity gathering at the port by anarchists and anti-authoritarians. The demonstrators reached the entrance, chanting slogans of solidarity and against the police. 2 riot police squads were placed in front of the demo to hinder any contact with the immigrants.
