Chile: Anarchist Comrade Francisco Solar Comes Out of Isolation After 5 years

Posted on 2025/03/31 - 2025/03/31 by darknights

The anarchist comrade Francisco Solar comes out of isolation after 5 years in punishment.

After spending almost 5 years in solitary confinement, touring different maximum security modules and facing the recent hardening of the prison regime that kept him with 21 hours of confinement in the cell, without TV or radio and with restrictions on visits, today we have news regarding his situation in prison.

After successive hearings and technical advice, the gendarmerie has run out of excuses to keep the comrade in this punishment regime, being forced to transfer him.

Today the anarchist comrade manages to get out of the circuit and labyrinth of isolation and maximum security modules, being transferred to module 33 inside La Gonzalina Prison, where other anarchist and subversive prisoners are held.

Solidarity and complicity with the anarchist comrade Francisco Solar!

Solidarity and complicity with those who attack power and repression!

Surabaya, Indonesia: Riot outside East Java government building against the new Military law

Posted on 2025/03/28 - 2025/03/28 by darknights

A violent clash broke out Monday in the Indonesian metropolis of Surabaya between police and demonstrators protesting against the country’s newly passed military law.

Around 1,000 students and activists dressed in black participated in the protest in front of an East Java government building.

Holding posters that said “Reject the Military Law”, and “The Military Should Return to the Barracks”, protesters hurled rocks, sticks, and Molotov cocktails towards the police guarding the demonstration.

The revision to the armed forces law, pushed mainly by President Prabowo Subianto’s coalition, was aimed at expanding the military’s role beyond defence in a country long influenced by its powerful armed forces especially under the brutal military dictatorship of Suharto called the “New Order” who were avowedly anti-communist and anti-anarchist. Large-scale killings and civil unrest primarily targeting members and supposed sympathizers of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) were carried out in Indonesia from 1965 to 1966. Other affected groups included alleged communist sympathisers, Gerwani women, trade unionists, ethnic Javanese Abangan, ethnic Chinese, atheists, so-called “unbelievers”, and alleged leftists in general. The dictatorship eventually fell in the May 1998 Indonesia riots triggered by corruption, economic problems, including food shortages, mass unemployment, increasing repression, genocide in East Timor and following the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

Santiago, $hile: Mosaic in memory of comrade Javier Recabarren Olivares

Posted on 2025/03/28 by darknights

The 18th of March marked a new anniversary of the death of our beloved anarchist anti-speciesist comrade, Javier Recabarren Olivares, who was run over by an ill-fated bus on the corner of Radal and Alameda in 2015. Since then there have been several gestures of comrades who have insisted on keeping his memory alive and present through various actions. We salute the generosity of those comrades because, it is thanks to their stubbornness that Javi’s joyful and restless rebelliousness has crossed the barriers of time and has accompanied us in our permanent antagonism to all authority; especially those of us who did not know him in life.
So, exactly 10 years after Javi’s departure, and seeking to keep his anarchic fire burning, a group of affinities went to the corner where the compa left this plane to complete the final part of a project we had started some time ago: the installation of a mosaic portraying Javi with Taco, the polar bear whose kidnapping at the Metropolitan Zoo in Santiago called for many protests, in many of which Javi participated.
Although the construction of the mosaic took many weeks of meticulous work behind closed doors, its installation on the street was done in broad daylight between the hectic fight of street vendors (most of them people born in other parts of the continent who try to survive the precariousness of the “every man for himself” world) with the bastard citizen security and the yuta (cops) in the middle of the Alameda, attracting the curious glances of the passers-by from whom in some cases we receive words of closeness and encouragement when we know we are people in constant struggle to survive in this ill-fated society. Despite this we must clarify that we do not consider ourselves artists or masters in this, on the contrary, we threw ourselves into this path learning on the fly without fear of disaster with the support of various individualities that were present at different stages, because we continue to insist on the “do it yourself” without authority or leaders, only with the will and desire to be a contribution.

Just days away from a new March 29th, and encouraging the multiplicity of expressions of agitation on this day of active and incendiary commemoration-action, we call to sustain the gestures of memory in everyday life, transcending specific dates. It is in the constancy and the day to day where memory becomes action.

With Javi’s fire on the barricade and Taco’s roar in our hearts!
For the destruction of all cages!
Against all authority and for total liberation!
JAVI AND TACO PRESENTE!

Giessen, Germany: Incendiary attack upon Payment Card Coordination Centre

Posted on 2025/03/24 by darknights

On March 17th, we attacked the coordination center for the payment card in Hesse with incendiary devices. Several transporters, as well as the building on Lilienthalstraße (Gießen), were damaged in the process. We did not choose this state facility by chance. The Government Presidium (RP) Gießen is involved in deportations every day with their transports from the initial reception centers and coordinates these throughout Hesse. For the reasons already mentioned, the RP deserves every attack.

Furthermore, the premises of the RP Gießen serve as the “operational coordination center” for the payment card introduced for refugees in the fall of last year. Basically, this means that the RP is responsible for the introduction and implementation of the payment cards in the initial reception centers and serves as the point of contact for all accommodations in the state of Hesse. The payment card is another insidious endeavor in which the German state demonstrates its racist and inhumane practices. Surely we should all be aware that the payment card is an attack on all the people who seek refuge and safety here, and it is just another step in the isolation of Europe.

Not only the state’s racist practice ignited our anger and hatred, but also the fact that this is another step by an authoritarian state to practice surveillance and control. As a society, we should assume that the payment card for refugees is a pilot project testing the extent to which handling payment cards will generally be suitable in the future. It is to be assumed that at some point there will also be payment cards for, for example, social benefit recipients. Because the German state loves to kick downwards and take from the poor and already stigmatized.

In solidarity with all those who evade their deportation and develop a collective practice against the authorities.

We greet the anarchist comrades in Bavaria, who are currently being persecuted by the state for their uncompromising political stance.

We send our solidarity and hope to all those affected by racist policies with our action. Another world is possible, let’s fight for it together.

Happiness and strength to all the comrades in hiding and blazing hatred against the walls that keep our friends and comrades imprisoned.

Italy: Anarchist Salvatore Vespertino (Ghespe) has been transferred from the Rebibbia prison to the Spoleto prison (March 20, 2025)

Posted on 2025/03/24 - 2025/03/28 by darknights

ANARCHIST SALVATORE VESPERTINO TRANSFERRED TO SPOLETO PRISON (ITALY)

Arrested in Spain on February 15th on an international arrest warrant, and extradited to Italy on March 4th, anarchist comrade Salvatore Vespertino, “Ghespe”, was first brought to Rome’s Rebibbia prison, and then transferred to Spoleto prison on March 20th.

We remind that Ghespe faces an eight-year sentence for manufacturing, possessing and carrying an explosive device, causing grievous bodily harm, and causing damage, related to the 2017 “Panico” repressive operation in Florence on charges of making the homemade explosive device found in front of the entrance of “Il Bargello” bookstore in Florence, home of CasaPound fascists.

In the early days of his detention in Spain, Ghespe was subjected to pressure and harassment by guards. At Rebibbia, the correspondence wasn’t delivered to him; visits and phone calls were not allowed until shortly before his transfer to the prison of Spoleto.

If guards and servants of the state think they can use such tricks to break our closeness, they are sorely mistaken.

NO PRISON WILL STOP OUR SOLIDARITY
FREEDOM FOR GHESPE
FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE

$hile: Update on anarchist comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernández

Posted on 2025/03/22 by darknights

It has been more than two years since December 22, 2022, the day of several raids orchestrated by the South Metropolitan High Complexity Prosecutor’s Office, where six homes were raided, five of them in the Metropolitan Region and one in the Valparaiso Region, all searched by police groups OS9, GOPE and LABOCAR, resulting in six detainees, four of whom were remanded in custody. Two correspond to the brothers and comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernandez, in the course of the months the comrades will remain under investigation for the explosive attack on the National Directorate of Gendarmerie of Chile, Aldo is indicated as the alleged bomber of the device, he is also charged with crimes under the Law of Arms Control, as well as Lucas charged with various offenses under the Law of Arms and Explosives Control.

Months later, the comrades were asked for a re-formalization hearing, adding for both of them the case of manufacture of weapons and manufacture of explosive devices for various items found in the home raided in Pedro Aguirre Cerda.

In this process we have seen how the prosecution through trickery and dirty games have tried to harm and intimidate this environment with jail, seeking information and even informations in order to complete the investigation and to prove what the prosecution accuses, having a negative result to the harassment, since all the detainees after the raids have remained dignified and integrated to the mediocre attempts of the Prosecutor Claudio Orellana, demonstrating in practice complicity and loyalty to the principles of anti-authoritarian comradeship.

In the course of the months the comrades have lived diverse and different prison realities, since from the beginning the comrades have been separated trying to break their family ties without having contact and sharing the same physical space for more than two
years.

At this moment the comrades are waiting for the oral trial preparation hearing, which has already been postponed twice due to different legal situations.
While waiting for the trial, which has taken more than two years, the comrades are still unable to meet due to security issues, violating their rights to preserve the family ties that unite them.

In that trial they risk exemplary sentences, for comrade Aldo the prosecution requests a sentence of 90 years and for Lucas a sentence of 26 years, we point out that exemplary since this excessive amount of years only seeks to intimidate the environment and those who decide to return blow after blow without turning the cheek or waiting for illusory and idealized opportune moments to go after our enemies. The comrades remain intact and with the impetus intact to continue contributing to strengthen the anarchic walk outside and inside the prisons, clinging fiercely to their ideas and their values, contributing to various comrades who have been deprived of freedom like them, making their ideas a real threat to the range of harmful behaviors inside the prison and practicing prison solidarity, continuing to position themselves against the prison and their jailers inside their own homes (prisons).

The power continues to strike, reprisals are part of the daily life of our brothers. The last event was the transfer of Aldo to the maximum security module 2 in the prison of “La Gonzalina”, on December 24 last year, changing his prison regime. He is currently under a schedule of 21 hours of confinement and 3 hours of yard time, this added to restrictions such as the prohibition of electronic devices (TV, kettle and radios). This transfer was the result of a raid carried out in module 12 (module in which Aldo had been for two years) on December 18, in which the personal information of the 16 gendarmerie officers injured on the day of the attack to the national directorate on December 27 2021 was found inside Aldo’s cell. This information was contained in the respective investigative files of the case, which is why the high command of La Gonzalina decided to isolate him.

The practice of violence continues more than ever, and it is blood to pump the hearts of our brothers in prison. Each accurate action, propagandistic gesture reveals the vulnerability of a predatory system that is sustained by a false security that is nothing more than a breakable mask and within reach of our hands full of conviction and courage.

Actions such as attacks with weapons-bombs to institutions-police-apparatuses that protect the interests of power and the rich are just a sample of that, that the fear is felt by those who imprison us, that the bullets have names and surnames, that our energies are capable of creating what our imagination once thought, that every idea overflows in the minds of those who see that the violent struggle is possible.

Fire and death to the spectator, the scavenger, the martyr and the vulture.

Freedom for the convinced, certain and courageous who go against domination!

Anarchists, subversives and Mapuche prisoners to the streets!

Let’s dare to create the forbidden!

Make ideas a real threat!

Aldo and Lucas Hernandez to the streets!

February, 2025.

Chile: Update on the isolation situation of anarchist comrade Francisco Solar

Posted on 2025/03/22 by darknights

Francisco has remained in Maximum Security modules for almost 5 years, since he was arrested in 2020 accused of attacks against repressors and the powerful.

Once sentenced, the isolation regime became even harsher, remaining for more than 6 months with a regime of strict isolation, restrictions on visits, 21 hours of confinement, no TV or radio.

By March the administrative authorities will decide whether or not the comrade will remain in solitary confinement. We call to remain attentive to the next information.

Facing the hardening of the prison regime: Solidarity and action!

GRECIA: COMUNICADO DE NIKOS MAZIOTIS – LXS REVOLUCIONARIXS NO SE «CORRIGEN» NI « SE MEJORAN MORALMENTE»

Posted on 2025/03/22 by darknights

EN:Text by anarchist comrade Nikos Maziotis (Greece)
Ελ: ΟΙ ΕΠΑΝΑΣΤΑΤΕΣ ΔΕΝ «ΣΩΦΡΟΝΙΖΟΝΤΑΙ» ΚΑΙ ΔΕΝ «ΒΕΛΤΙΩΝΟΝΤΑΙ ΗΘΙΚΑ»

LXS REVOLUCIONARIXS NO SE «CORRIGEN» NI « SE MEJORAN MORALMENTE»

Una vez más, por sexta vez consecutiva, el tribunal plenario de delitos menores de Lamia me honra con su decisión de rechazar mi solicitud de libertad condicional, con el argumento de que ¡no me he «corregido» y que no he mostrado «mejora moral»! ¡No puedo sino admitir que tienen razón!

En efecto, un militante consecuente, un revolucionario, un anarquista como yo, no podría ser «corregido» y «mejorado moralmente» por la cárcel, no importa cuántos años esté encarcelado. Un militante consecuente, un revolucionario, un anarquista, puede dar su vida por la lucha, como el compañero de la Lucha Revolucionaria Lambros Fountas, puede arriesgar su vida por la lucha, puede arriesgarse a ser asesinado por los pretorianos del estado, como casi ocurrió en mi caso, puede pasar muchos años en la cárcel -yo ya he cumplido 12 años por la Lucha Revolucionaria y otros 4 antes de eso- pero no se le permite dar un paso atrás, mostrar arrepentimiento o revisión, o en otras palabras y en el lenguaje del tribunal, una mejora «correccional» y «moral». Así que, desde este punto de vista, todas las decisiones de los tribunales y juntas judiciales, las seis del tribunal plenario y la una de la junta de apelaciones, me honran y me demuestran que sigo en el camino correcto. Si dijera lo contrario, empezaría a preguntarme si me he equivocado y he violado mis principios y valores morales. Mi única objeción es la referencia del tribunal sobre un “pretencioso” buen comportamiento por mi parte. Esto realmente me hace injusticia. Si tal cosa fuera cierta, en las audiencias del tribunal, en manera completamente «pretenciosa», contraria a lo que creo por lo que he sido condenado y por las faltas disciplinarias que he cometido, estaría murmurando disculpas y lamentos como hacen la mayoría de los presos penales para lograr su puesta en libertad. Pero tal cosa es impensable para mí.

La última decisión negativa del tribunal plenario de Lamia me excluye efectivamente de la posibilidad de la libertad condicional, a pesar de que ya he cumplido más de 4/5 de mi condena.

Dentro del endurecimiento general en los últimos años, de la legislación penal y «correccional», en cuyo marco se han aumentado los límites de las penas, y los límites para la concesión de la libertad condicional y de los permisos; basicamente el derecho a la libertad condicional y a los permisos estan bajo abolicion. Se han introducido carceles de maxima seguridad (algo parecido a las antiguas prisiones de tipo C para peor), probablemente seré la primera persona con una condena de 20 años que cumplira la condena completa -las 5/5 partes de la misma- sin posibilidad de libertad condicional, acercándose a una cadena perpetua, es decir, 16 años según el antiguo código penal.

Este endurecimiento de la represión penal y «penitenciaria» es una consecuencia y un eslabón de una larga cadena de curso evolutivo sociopolítico, que parte de la derrota de la insurrecction social y popular contra los memorandos de 2010-2012, el retroceso de las luchas sociales y desemboca en el totalitarismo estatal y de régimen que vivimos hoy.

Bandung, West Java, Indonesia: “Reject the National Army law”, “No Rules, Just Chaos”, and “Burn World Bank” wrote by a group of informal affinity

Posted on 2025/03/22 by darknights

We are responsible for the burning of Two Hana Bank ATM machines, the Hana Bank office building, a capitalist-owned advertising videotron, and a motor vehicle belonging to the Indonesian National Army. The arson occurred after a space occupation carried out by demonstrators in the aftermath of a demonstration against the passage of the Indonesian National Army Law (TNI law), the arson occurred in Bandung, West Java on Friday night 21/03/2025.

The action carried out by the demonstrators in front of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) was not ignored at all by anti-riot police, despite the throwing of molotov cocktails, propane, stones and firecrackers into the veranda of the building. Until in the end, we chose direct action by burning at several points above.

We are completely beyond the authority of the language of the state and capitalism, we are irrationality, we are a form of the illogicality of the authority of the language itself. We are one of the informal organizations of the end of the world who do not believe in the coming of enlightenment for tomorrow, because for us the future is a new form of suffering. We are a fire that devours entire city buildings at night. We do not believe in the revolution of the left and other social anarchists. We are writers and poets, insurrection is poetry, poetry is insurrection.

Death to The State!
Death to The National Army!
Death to an Entire Civilization!
Burn The World Bank!
Long Live The Conspiracy of Cells of Fire!
Long Live The Free Association of Autonomous Fire!
Long Live FAI/IRF Long Live Anarchy!
