Members of Conspiracy of Cells Invade Golden Dawn Trial - Cause Chaos (VIDEO)

The trial of 69 leaders and members of the Golden Dawn party, which is currently going on at the Korydallos prison in Piraeus, was interrupted on Friday when a group of far-leftists suddenly -and without warning- entered the premises screaming out "fascists!". The protesters, most of which are members of the terrorist group "Conspiracy of Cells" apparently entered the courthouse from a side door and caught everyone -as well as authorities- by surprise. Reports claim that they threw bottles at Golden Dawn defendants which fell on journalists and photographers' heads and shouted "shame murderers, they will kill us all."

Police officers did not manage to stop the protesters and the judge ruled that safety measures were unsufficient.

During the chaos, the parents of the late anti-fascist activist Pavlos Fyssas grabbed the opportunity to hurl abuse towards the defendants. The mother of Fyssas was apparently annoyed when the lawyers of the defendants asked that security measures be taken in order to ensure the safety of the defendants during the trial (especially after the fact that accused terrorists suddenly entered into the courtroom).

Shortly afterwards the trial continued but the was adjourned defendants’ lawyers asked for the adjournment of the trial because, as they said, a trial cannot take place under such tense atmosphere. As such, the presiding judge decided to adjourn the trial until June 4th, further escalating the situation.

It should be reminded that the Conspiracy of Fire terrorist group is a radical leftist anarchist organization based in Greece. According to Wikipedia the group made its debut on January 21st, 2008, with a wave of 11 firebombings against luxury car dealerships and banks in and around the cities of Athens and Thessaloniki. Monthly waves of arson were followed by proclamations expressing solidarity with arrested anarchists in Greece and elsewhere. In September 2009, following an escalation to the use of crude time bombs, four suspected members of the group were arrested. In November 2010 two more suspects were arrested while attempting to mail parcel bombs to embassies and EU leaders and organizations. The organization was designated as a terrorist group on October 13, 2011, by the U.S. Department of State.

In one of their published texts titled "The Sun Still Rises", they put forward a redefinition of the concept of revolutionary "organization" as an entity consisting of many groups and individuals of various backgrounds, united through a common critique of capitalist society and a commitment to "immediate freedom" through urban guerrilla tactics.

Two of their proclamations published in athens.indymedia.org on May 19, 2010 (a G.Soros supported website), explained that they represented a "third pole" of anarchist thought in Greece, anarcho-individualism, contrasting it with social anarchism and insurrectionary anarchism. Uniquely among Greek armed groups, this group claims to use the word "terrorist" in a favorable light and some of its writers even refer to themselves as nihilists.

Unfortunately, most of the domestic and foreign media coverage of political radicals in Greece has mainly focused on the far-right Golden Dawn party but has somehow but has somehow suspiciously always ignore the extremism on the left.
