(en) Athens Indymedia has been shut down ? Repression in Greece ensues

The Athens Indymedia website previously located athttps://athens.indymedia.org has been 
shut down by the Greek government according to tweets by ruling party MP Adonis 
Georgiadis, seen congratulating minister of Public Order Nikos Dendias on twitter. --- 
Which might signal an end of free independent media in Greece, the Athens Indymedia 
Collective released an communique in regard in response to repression of free speech. --- 
According to sources Athens Indymedia can still be accessed using TOR network ---- The 
repression shall not pass! ---- Three of the contra-information media of the antagonistic 
movement, athens.indymedia.org, radio 98FM and Radio Entasi and those which were hosted in 
the current server, since Thursday 11/4 are facing state repression. ---- After pressuring 
inquiries of the state attorney, internet connection was down.

In a period where the whole of this society finds it difficult even to breath, due to the 
harsh economic, political and social repression, smaller or larger resistances, struggles 
of the workers, give courage and hope, pass on the flaming signals of revolution, inspire 
and plant the seeds of subversive and radical ideas needed to tear down once and for all 
this world of exploitation?

Right at this moment and precisely because the real terrorists are terrified of social 
resistances, the authority tries to impose its darkness of its dominant media to our 
communication.

Silencing and repressing contra-information media will not pass as an indifferent social 
commentary in their corrupt newspapers and TV channels.

Our response shall overcome the ridiculous triumphs of the fascists and authoritarians. 
The media of contra-information are our own media, our means, the voice of our own 
struggles that show us the way to create the world we want to live in.

We call all those in struggle at a gathering on Friday 12/4 on 1 pm at the central square 
of Zographou Polytechnic Faculty (Polytechneioupoli Zographou). Access by bus: 608 from 
Academia, 242 from Katehaki metro station.
