A-Infos (en) Greece, APO: Rally in Evelpidon over the rape case of the 19-year-old at the Omonia Police Station (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

SS SS COPS RAPES, THUGS, MURDERERS AND TORTURERS ---- On Friday 9/1 at 
9:00, the trial for the rape of a 19-year-old woman inside the Omonia 
Police Station by two DIAS police officers - who even recorded the rape 
on video - continues after a postponement. Although the 19-year-old 
finds the strength and reports her rape, the prosecutor is prosecuting 
the two uniformed scumbags, however, releasing them with restrictive 
conditions until the trial.
This incident is neither the first nor the last in which cops and power 
figures are involved. The Omonia Police Station in particular has 
repeatedly been a place of torture, with murders, countless complaints 
from people about illegal detentions, the humiliation of 
refugees/immigrants, thefts, and the beatings of drug addicts. A few 
days ago, another prisoner was found dead at the Omonia Prison. The same 
section where immigrant Mia Harizoul was found dead in the fall of 2024, 
a few days after the murder of Mohamed Kamran Asik at the Aghios 
Panteleimonas Prison. It is the same department from which the monsters 
of DIAS come again, who in August 2022 beat up the anarchist Antonis 
Ziva in the department's toilets because he accidentally ran into them 
while passing through Vathis Square, it is the same department from 
which the murderous cops of Zackie Oh! come, it is the same where the 
34-year-old Nigerian Ebuka breathed his last in 2019 under "unspecified 
circumstances", it is the same department where in 2019 a cop was 
recorded on video dousing a disabled woman, it is the same department to 
which in 2016 members of a theater group of refugee children and 
adolescents were brought in because they brought plastic weapons with 
them for the need of a performance, the same department where in 2007 
cops recorded on video the torture and humiliation of immigrants, whom 
they had forced to hit each other.
The Omonia Police Station is an emphatic imprint of state violence, 
terrorism and lawlessness, but it is not the only hellhole of the state 
in which incidents of murder, threats, terror, torture, rape and abuse 
take place again and again against the most persecuted segments of 
society. And while state repression is being intensified even more by 
the crackdown on demonstrations and the terrorism they are trying to 
impose on the streets, the arrests, beatings and torture of protesters, 
to the police occupation of Exarchia and the wider city center, the 
state's repressive campaign against the squats and the anarchist 
movement, the uniformed killers of the Hellenic Police engage in 
harassment, beatings and abuse against protestors, rape inside and 
outside police stations, are involved in trafficking rings such as in 
Ilioupoli and commit femicide. Because gendered police violence is 
systemic violence and its purpose - beyond satisfying the dehumanized 
scum in uniform - is to subjugate, humiliate and impose the 
consolidation of the dominance of an entire system, the state, 
capitalism and patriarchy.
The struggle against patriarchy, which is an integral part of the 
dominant system, as in every form of power, is ongoing and is part of 
the overall struggle we wage against oppression, exploitation and the 
devaluation of our lives as anarchists, as fighters and as women. And as 
such, it cannot be based on a change of attitude on the part of the 
institutions of power but is taken on the road anti-hierarchically, 
unmediated, with solidarity and militant resistance. As long as there is 
a state, capitalism, bosses, departments and cops, the rot of the world 
of power will constantly fall on the oppressed and exploited. That is 
why it is time to organize and tear them down.

GENDER VIOLENCE IS A REGIME AS LONG AS THE STATE AND CAPITALISM EXIST
AGAINST STATE, CAPITALISM AND PATRIARCHY
A STRUGGLE FOR AUTHENTICITY AND ANARCHY
