Te social struggle is just

The sociali struggle is neither legal not illegal. Is just!

On Saturday 4th of September 5 Serbian anarchists, members of the Anarcho-syndicalist Initiative, were arrested and accused for the solidarity attack against the greek embassy in Belgrade, which took place in support to Thodoris Iliopoulos, a hunger striker at the time.

Their arrests had essentially been announced in advance, when the Serbian president Boris Tadic apologized to the greek ambassador (Greece comprises they key investor of serbian economy, with 2,5 billion € per annum) and assured him "the serbian state would do everything in its capacity to identify and punish those responsible for the attack accordingly".

The serbian state (and the socialist coalition government) in complete harmonisation with the international climate of repression against the social movements chooses to charge the five comrades with participation in an action of International Terrorism.

The barbarity of modern bourgois democracy is the same everywhere… For us it is insignificant whether they are "guilty" or "innocent".

We ought to respond not only to the arrest of our comrades but also to the charge of International Terrorism that aims directly to the international resistance movement.

We stand in solidarity with the five serbian comrades, we stand in solidarity to each person that revolts and resists state power and global capital, the only true terrorists.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF THE 5 SERBIAN ANARCHISTS SOLIDARITY FOR A GLOBAL ANARCHIST MOVEMENT UNTIL THE FINAL VICTORY
