Aktuelle (unvollständige!) Liste rebellischer Gefangener weltweit
Die Liste ist aus verschiedenen Listen zusammengetragen und nicht unbedingt geordnet. Zu manchen Gefangenen gibt es Infos zur Situation oder Geschichte zu anderen nicht. Alles sind Rebellen_innen in den Knästen die anti-autoritäre Ideen haben und sich mit ihrer Situation und den Verhältnissen nicht zufrieden geben.
Warum solch eine Liste?
Hier findet ihr die Adressen von verschiedenen Gefangenen. Personen, welche aufgrund ihrer Feindschaft mit dem gegenwärtigen System eingesperrt werden. Das heißt nicht, dass diese Liste vollständig ist: es gibt viel mehr Gefangene, das ist hier nur ein sehr kleiner Teil davon. Ihr könnt auf anderen Internetseiten und in Publikationen weiter recherchieren, wir wollen hier eine „übersichtliche” Liste erstellen auch mit Personen, mit welchen wir selbst entweder in Kontakt stehen oder seit längerem ihre Geschichte verfolgen.
Außerdem müsst Ihr immer beachten, dass Gefangene oft verlegt werden: deshalb wird diese Liste ständig aktualisiert. Um etwas darüber zu erfahren, wie mensch am besten „Gefangenen schreibt” (denn viele haben am Anfang viele Hemmungen und Unsicherheiten) gibt es weiter unten einen Text, welcher Tips und Hinweise aufzeigt.
Das Briefe schreiben bleibt eine (aber nicht das einzige) Mittel, die Isolation zu durchbrechen. Nutzen wir dieses!
Nichts vergeben! – Niemand vergessen!
Als Einführung und Hilfe findet ihr hier noch einen kurzen Text zum Gefangenen Briefe schreiben: http://noprisonnostate.blogsport.de/gegen-knaeste-against-prisons/wie-schreibe-ich-gefangenen/

Er saß mehrere Jahre in Italien (bis 2002) und wurde dann in die Schweiz ausgeliefert, wo er noch eine Haftzeit offen hatte, weil er für den Mord an einen Schweizer Grenzschutzpolizist während der Zeit, in der er untergetaucht war, zu acht Jahren verurteilt wurde.

Yiannis Dimitrakis
ASKA Kassavetias
37100 Almyros
Greece
On January 16, 2006, Dimitrakis was arrested after being seriously wounded by police bullets during a bank robbery in downtown Athens. Arrest warrants were later issued for three comrades alleged to be his accomplices. Two of them, Marios Seisidis and Grigoris Tsironis, remain at large. The third, Simos Seisidis, was arrested on May 3, 2010. In June 2007, Dimitrakis was sentenced to 35 years and 6 months in prison. At a December 2010 appeal hearing, he was acquitted of several charges (one of which was attempted homicide of a security guard) and his sentence was reduced to 12 years. He is now able to go on leave from prison every other month. Two weeks ago, he was granted a transfer to the so-called “country prison” of Kassavetia, near Volos.
Simos Seisidis
Nosokomeio Kratoumenon Koridallou
TK18110 Korydallos
Athens
Greece
On January 16, 2006, a warrant was issued for Seisidis’ arrest on charges of taking part in the same bank robbery during which Yiannis Dimitrakis was arrested. On May 3, 2010, Seisidis was shot by police during his arrest and suffered a serious injury to his leg, which later had to be amputated. He is currently at Korydallos Prison hospital. At his trial, which began in late March 2011, he was acquitted (due to a lack of evidence) of the January 2006 bank robbery as well as charges of having participated in another six bank robberies between 2006 and 2008 (since Seisidis was at large during that time period, the authorities “generously” charged him in a number of unsolved cases). Nevertheless, Seisidis remains in prison awaiting what will hopefully be his last trial, scheduled for December 2011 and involving arms theft. The incident in question took place over three years ago, when someone snatched a semiautomatic from the guard watching the home of a Supreme Court judge. Neither the weapon nor the perpetrator were ever found, making it easy to charge Seisidis.

In late August 2008, Chrysochoidis and Georgiadis were arrested in Thessaloniki and charged with the kidnapping of powerful industrialist Giorgos Mylonas, which took place earlier that summer. Chrysochoidis and Georgiadis denied that they participated in the kidnapping, but they did declare their solidarity with Vassilis Palaiocostas (Greece’s “most wanted” and most famous bank robber, who was charged in the same case). In February 2010, Chrysochoidis and Georgiadis were each sentenced to 22 years and 3 months in prison. An appeal hearing is scheduled for February 2012.
