Athens, Greece: [URGENT] Transfer of comrade Marianna to Korydallos – Call for gathering in Korydallos

Posted on 2024/11/15 - 2024/11/15 by darknights

The anarchist comrade Marianna, just one day after her second consecutive surgery and while remaining hospitalized as a multiple trauma patient for 15 days at Evangelismos Hospital, was transferred to Korydallos on Friday morning.

The pressures from the scum of the anti-terrorism unit, who operate in perfect collaboration with the investigator handling the case, resulted in the comrade being discharged and taken to the women’s prisons of Korydallos, where there isn’t even a hospital and thus no possibility to provide her with the appropriate care for her injuries.

We make it clear in all directions, whatever happens to our comrade, it will have consequences and will not go unanswered.

We call for a solidarity gathering for our imprisoned comrades Marianna M. D.Z. and D., on Monday, November 18 at 18:30, at Korydallos Prison, with a pre-gathering at the Korydallos Town Hall.

SOLIDARITY WITH THE IMPRISONED COMRADES MARIANNA, DIMITRA, AND DIMITRIS

UK: Twenty three hens liberated in memory of Barry Horne

Posted on 2024/11/13 by darknights

4th November, UK.

received anonymously via email:

“23 years later and we are still thinking of Barry Horne. Those who take action for liberation are never forgotten.

Barry gave his all and fought like hell. If you don’t know about some of the things he was involved in; from fighting to save Rocky the dolphin, to raiding Interfauna, to smashing fancy wine bottles at a vivisectors conference and so much more! You need to go learn some history and get inspired.

We thought of you Barry as we broke our way into a ‘free range’ egg farm and the stench stung our eyes. We thought of all the fire inside you that fueled you to fight so hard for animal liberation, right till your last breath. May that fire burn as bright for all of us and spur us on till we win.

Fuck fur farms, fuck vivisection labs, fuck zoos, fuck oceanariums, fuck your ‘free range’ farms, fuck the hunts, fuck prisons, fuck all cages everywhere!

In his own words “If you don’t act then you condone. If you don’t fight then you don’t win. And if you don’t win then you are responsible for the death and suffering that will go on and on.””

Anarchist Toby Shone Free in the Forest!

Posted on 2024/11/13 - 2024/11/18 by darknights

Toby Shone walked free from HMP Garth on Monday 11th November after serving his entire sentence. He was released at 8:30am and picked up by friends and comrades. He has no licence conditions or restrictions.

The State made a few last desperate attempts to exercise their spite and misery at losing Toby, including removing another close comrade from his phone list four days before his release, but it was to no avail.

Nothing is over, everything continues.

Russia & Ukraine: Radical Resitance 07/10 – 27/10

Posted on 2024/11/13 - 2024/11/13 by darknights

15.10-27.10.24

Moscow region

On October 16, a car belonging to Nikita Klenkov, who had returned from the war in Ukraine a week earlier, was shot at point-blank range in the village of Melenki. The military man died.

Klenkov served in the military unit 43292 – this is the Special Operations Forces Training Center. The leaked geolocation data also revealed that Klenkov ordered food deliveries to the GRU headquarters.

The vigilante waited for the colonel at the entrance to the village of Melenki. He opened fire with a 9 millimeter caliber pistol as soon as he saw the officer’s car, managed to fire at least eight shots, and then fled.

Bryansk Region

On October 22, Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) reported the murder of Dmitry Golenkov, a pilot of the 52nd heavy bomber aviation regiment of the Russian Air Force. According to Ukrainian intelligence, he was responsible for missile strikes on a shopping center in Kremenchug and a multi-story apartment building in Dnipro in January 2023, which killed 68 civilians.

Intelligence sources said the body of a military officer was found “with multiple head injuries, caused probably by a hammer” on October 20 in the village of Suponevo in the Bryansk region.

Pro-government channels also confirmed Golenkov’s death.

Perm

Late in the evening of October 23, two women threw Molotov cocktails at the United Russia office building in Perm. A fire started. Unfortunately, the arsonists were detained, they turned out to be local residents mother and daughter Natalia and Ekaterina Degtyannikov, born in 1970 and 2004. They came with seven bottles of “Molotov cocktail” and a cylinder – a gas burner to the building of the office of “United Russia” on Plekhanova Street, 12. The daughter started breaking windows, the mother lit the bottles and threw them. They managed to do this twice, after which the older woman’s jacket sleeve caught fire. Then the women, disregarding the shouts of the witnesses, ran away from the building towards the streetcar tracks. The guerrillas were detained the next day.

News about some imprisoned comrades in Russia and Belarus. October 2024

Posted on 2024/11/13 by darknights

Drawing by the imprisoned anarchist Sergey Romanov

November 3, 2024

Anarchist Alexei Rozhkov is being charged under the article “terrorist act” for the arson of a military enlistment office in Berezovsky in March 2022, as well as for “justifying terrorism” and “spreading fakes” about the Russian army due to an interview he gave to “Khodorkovsky Live” while in Kyrgyzstan. At the end of May 2023, Rozhkov was illegally transported out of Kyrgyzstan, where he had previously fled, fearing the intensification of the charges. In total, Alexey could face up to 22.5 years of imprisonment.

At one of the court hearings, Lyudmila Reutova, a Russian language and literature teacher and the mother of Alexei’s classmate with whom he had previously lived for six months, testified. The brave woman did not hesitate to say that she knows Alexei as an intelligent, creative, and well-read young man, and also emphasized that he is an empathetic and kind person.

There is much to say about Alexei, but only good things <…> It pains me greatly to see Alexei in the dock. I consider Alexey my son. I am proud that fate brought me together with such a person. He is probably one of the best people I have ever met in my life.” Reutova does not consider Alexei to be a terrorist; she calls him a patriot: “Terrorism is when a plane flies into the Twin Towers and hundreds, thousands of people die. Terrorism is when people come to a concert, and they get shot in the chest. Terrorism is when a mother, with a child in her arms, brought her second child to the first grade, and everyone dies. But Alexey is not a terrorist. Alexei is not an enemy of our country. Alexei is not an enemy of our people <…> Patriotism is not just love for your land, not just for the territory where you live, for the place where you were born, it is love for your people. It is the readiness to sacrifice oneself, to give one’s life for the betterment of the people, for the freedom of the people. And in this regard, I believe that Alexei… he can be called a patriot.

The next court hearing in Alexei’s case is scheduled for November 20.

An 18-year-old antifascist, Yuri Mikheev, faces up to 10 years in prison. A year ago, on November 11, 2023, he and a friend were detained on the territory of a military unit in the Moscow region. The FSB accused the young men of planning to set military equipment on fire. The young men were charged under articles on “preparation for sabotage.” On October 9, the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow extended the detention of Yury Mikheyev and 20-year-old brothers Matvey and Timofey Melnikov in a pre-trial detention center for 1 month. At the hearing, it became known that a new case had been opened against the Melnikov brothers for “treason” (Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and participation in a “terrorist organization” (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). This is likely related to the fact that they confessed to carrying out a mission for the Free Russia Legion. The charge against Yuri Mikheev has not changed – “preparation for sabotage.” Continue reading “News about some imprisoned comrades in Russia and Belarus. October 2024” →

Russia: Prisons must be destroyed

Posted on 2024/11/13 - 2024/11/13 by darknights

We defend political prisoners, but as long as prisons exist, as long as they torture and kill the most ordinary prisoners, including people who are not the most pleasant, as long as criminal cases are fabricated for the sake of “sticks” and “stars,” no one can consider themselves free.

Information about what happens behind barbed wire is rarely and belatedly received. The Verstka Telegram channel recently published information about the victims of police lawlessness in 2023. This year, at least 50 people have died in pre-trial detention centers, special reception centers, police departments, during arrests, and in police cars. These data were obtained through a thorough analysis of reports from government agencies and the media, and, of course, they are not complete.

The highest number of deaths occurred in pre-trial detention centers (SIZO) – 22 people died there over the year, 14 in police departments, five during detention, four in police cars, two in special detention facilities, and one each in court, a FSIN prisoner transport vehicle, and a hospital after being transported from SIZO.

Among the dead were 48 men and two women. The cause of death for 11 people was allegedly heart problems, another 11, according to official data, committed suicide, and nine died after they “suddenly felt bad.”

At least two people died after being tortured by police officers, one detainee in a pre-trial detention center died from a drug overdose, chronic illness, and deliberate failure to provide medical assistance, and one was killed by cellmates. The causes of death for another 13 people are unknown. Continue reading “Russia: Prisons must be destroyed” →

[16/11] CALL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AND IN MEMORY OF ANARCHIST COMRADE KYRIAKOS XIMITIRIS

Posted on 2024/11/11 - 2024/11/11 by darknights

We call all comrades around the world for an international day of action and in memory of the dead anarchist fighter and dear comrade Kyriakos Ximitiris (16 November).

We invite comrades from abroad to send texts that they would like for us to read at the political event in memory of comrade Kyriakos that will take place on the same day, in Athens.

synelallil@riseup.net

October 31 forever engraved in the hearts of every fighter. With anger and determination we stand next to our comrades

On 31/10/24, after a device explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipoi, our anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation, while our anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, ended up with multiple injuries and until now she is currently being treated and guarded at the Evangelismos Hospital. At the same time, two more people are arrested and taken to the investigator, with the comrade Dimitris and the anarchist comrade Dimitra being detained.

Anarchist comrade Marianna M. is being guarded in the hospital of Evangelismos, with all the repressive apparatus and the counter-terrorism agency aiming to extract the testimony of the comrade. We have not forgotten cases of torture of comrades who were captured and guarded in nursing institutions and suffered physical abuse through medical enforcement practices, with their physical, emotional and mental state being exploited. Such impositions of state power are clearly torture.

No thought should pass through their minds for further police pressure or continuation of the (pre)investigation process on the severely injured comrade Marianna, while she is hospitalized and called upon to manage the emotional, spiritual and political load after the explosion. Her interrogation is torture and all kinds of participants in it are torturers of state power. The administration and staff of Evangelism bear the primary responsibility for anything that happens to our comrade. Any member of the medical community who acquiesces or simply remains silent in such a process will be complicit in the intended state violence and attempted torture of comrade Marianna. State violence has been perpetrated on our comrade with counter-terrorist bastards fingerprinting her, while she was under the care of medical personnel, without having escaped danger, and without her consent, since she was unconscious.
