16 December 2015 Greek rebel youth and the young anarchist revolutionaries pay with their staying in jail for their "crime" of fighting against the starving and repressive Government of the Troika From the inside of the prisons of the Troika... The imprisoned young rebels feel part of the same struggle for the freedom of political prisoners and very close to the Syrian resistance against genocidal Al Assad Young Greeks, from the prisons of the Troika and its “left” jailers –the government of Syriza, continue to speak out. They are still voicing their struggle; because no prison is so strong as to keep locked a rebel heart. These young people are struggling since 2008 for a dignified life... and for a future, which the Greek State and the capitalist imperialist system have denied them. They have stood up and fought against the misery wages which are not enough to make ends meet, and a massive unemployment that reaches 60% for the young people. For this reason the Troika, the Greek bankers and big ship-owners, their Governments and repressive police have got them prisoners. There are more than 50 political prisoners, whom the establishment wants to condemn for life. Monday, December 14 a hearing was held of a trial being carried out to 12 of these political prisoners, Giorgos Karagiannidis among them. It was in a courtroom in the Korydallos prison where they are jailed. There were family members present. I went there as a correspondent. At the end of the hearing, I could talk to them. It was little time they had, and they decided to take advantage of it to let me know their support for the Syrian masses. They vibrate with the fighting in Syria. They asked me for them. They longed to know more about what was happening with the Syrian masses and were excited knowing that the resistance is still standing and fighting against genocidal Al-Assad. They were excited with joy to see that in several countries past 12 December - Global Day of the persecuted worker- had become an international day for the fight against genocide in Syria and for the freedom of all political prisoners. They sent their greetings and support to all those who formed part of those combats, firstly the Syrian masses which are being massacred and the sentenced workers of Las Heras (Argentina), the Palestinian prisoners in Zionist dungeons, miners imprisoned in the Spanish State for fighting and the relatives of the 43 missing Mexican teaching school students who demand justice. They are prisoners of the world working-class... young people inside prisons for whom their main concern is Syria and the triumph of the exploited masses and their resistance against dog Bashar. They are young people who support all the workers who are fighting against Governments and regimes around the world and are imprisoned, persecuted and repressed... and the few minutes that are available to them for contacting the outside of the prison are used to let know that they are also in this struggle, for they are part of the same struggle... and the same blood runs through their veins... For a network of international solidarity that will work permanently for Leandro Hofstadter
