Incendiary Attacks Claimed Against Athens Police Homes; Post Lists Addresses and Calls It “Payback”
Source: athens.indymedia.org
Executive Summary
A statement reposted by Darknights claims three firebomb-style attacks on the homes of Athens-area police officers between February 9 and March 7. The authors name the police units (MAT riot police and OPKE) and publish specific addresses, dedicating the actions to slain militant Lambros Fountas and calling for continued confrontation with police.
Analysis
This is a claim-of-responsibility post, written to intimidate and to encourage more attacks.
It says the group hit three homes:
Feb 9: 12 Athanaton Street, Sepolia. The post says a MAT officer lives there and names “Andreas Poligenis.”
Feb 24: 4–6 Teas Street, Kaisariani. The post says this is also a MAT officer’s home.
Mar 7: 18 Deligianni Street, Exarcheia. The post says this is the home of an OPKE officer.
The big deal is the addresses. Publishing them is doxxing. It makes it easier for anyone reading to find the places again, harass the residents, or repeat the attack.
The message is also clear about intent. The authors say they are hitting back at police for abuse and repression, and they mix that with broader political anger, including calling out Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis by name. They frame the attacks as part of an ongoing fight and use martyr language (Fountas and other dead militants) to justify it and rally supporters.
