The Sahzat Luqman Brigade [TSL; Taxiarchía Sachzát Loukmán] was a short-lived anarchist outfit active in Greece’s West Attica regional unit. It was named after a Pakistani immigrant who was killed by thugs affiliated to the fascist Golden Dawn party in 2008. On Jun. 14, 2017, the TSL assaulted and injured four activists of the party at their office in Aspropyrgos.¹ The assailants also stole a cache of documents during the incident. Two days later, the attackers asserted responsibility for the action in a short message posted on an anarchist website.² On Jun. 21, the TSL formally claimed the attack in a lengthy communiqué.³ It also provided pictures of the documents seized during the act.
