Calling for a special edition of balkans.puscii.nl concerning the greek uprising




The murder of Alexis Grigoropoulos last December initiated one of the more massive uprisings in Greece, from the era of dictatorship until now. The murder of the 15-year-old boy by the agents of violence and oppression from the state ignited a general insurrection of the greek youth, as well as an international solidarity movement. The solidarity movement was directed not only towards the actual incident of the murder, but also caused a number of actions and criticism against the innumerable capitalistic barbarities.

Since December 6th, activists and comrades administrating the web site of Balkan Decentralized Network have tried to keep up the web site with news and correspondence from the uprising as often as possible. This is a calling to any individual or collective who are interested in our work in the Balkan Decentralized Network and would like to contribute in any way in writing and distributing an english edition of the chronicle of the insurrection in Greece, and a respective translation to greek or other languages. Additionally, we appeal to designers of fanzines and other editions to help in the design.

Finally, we call anybody interested in taking part in the team working on Balkan Decentralized Network to send an email to these emails: riseup.net or riseup.ca. Also we have set an emailing list for communication between autonomous entities and the working team of the Balkan Decentralized Network: list. For taking part in the discussion and info from the Balkans, you can subscribe to the emailing list: PGA Balkans, by sending an email with “subscribe PGA balkan” as the email subject.
