NoBorderCamp action at Xanthi detention centre//No Border Camp akcija pred zaporom Xanthi

20. julija 2016 je v okviru No Border Camp-a 2016 potekala akcija pred centrom za tujce v Xanthiju, pri kateri je sodelovalo veliko število lokalnih in mednarodnih tovarišev in tovarišic. To je bil center, v katerem je policija po anarhistični manifestaciji solidarnosti 22. maja brutalno pretepla tiste migrante in begunce, ki so se na protest pozitivno odzvali. Namen policijskega nasilja je bil prekiniti komunikacijske kanale med zaporniki in gibanjem solidarnosti ter prikriti bedo, ki jo oblast ustvarja v kampih. To je bil razlog, zaradi katerega je bil za eno od akcij v sklopu No Border Campa izbran ravno center v Xanthiju. Ob prihodu je bil center zastražen s policijo v protizgredniški opremi. Ko je blok protestnikov prispel do vhoda centra, je poskušal prebiti policijski kordon in s tem odgovoriti na splošno nasilje države in uniformiranih paznikov s enakovredno dozo družbenega proti-nasilja. Po krajšem spopadu so se protestniki umaknili in ponovno zbrali na drugi strani centra, kjer je bil možen vidni stik z zaporniki in z glasnim skandiranjem solidarnostnih gesel vztrajala dalj časa.

On 20th July 2016 many local and international comrades participated in a No Border Camp 2016 action in front of the Xanthi detention center. After an anarchist solidarity demonstration was held in front of the camp on 22nd May the cops beat the immigrants and refugees who have responded positively to the protest. The aim of the police violence was to interrupt the channels of communication between prisoners in the centre and the solidarity movement and to cover up all the misery that the authorities are imposing inside the camp. It was for this reason that Xanthi was chosen for the No Border Camp action. Upon arrival there the camp was guarded heavily by riot police squads. When the block of protesters arrived at the entrance of the center they tried to break the police line in order to reciprocate a generalized violence of the state and uniformed guards with a degree of social counter-violence. After a short clash protesters withdrew and regrouped on the other side of the camp from where there was a visible contact with the prisoners and for some hours shouted slogans.
