A Basket of Thoughts – Italian Anarchist Massimo Passamani Solidarity With Hunger Strike

Posted on 2025/11/17 - 2025/11/17 by darknights

In the twilight zone of sorts I find myself in- neither free nor fully imprisoned – I have decided to give up my daily work release from prison for the next week, as a gesture of solidarity with the Palestine Action comrades on hunger strike in British prisons, a strike my friend and brother Stecco has also joined. I know that my staying in prison instead of going to work will not bother the prison administration in the least. But my message is not addressed to prison management – whom I have nothing to say to and nothing to ask of but to those who are fighting against the genocide of the Palestinian people, alongside its indomitable resistance.

What I can offer, along with this small gesture, is a basket of thoughts, a handful of words with which to express what is in my heart.

The strength that comes to me from British prisons which, in turn, reflects the tenacity of that resistance which Zionist prisons and administrative detention centers are unable to bow, despite the isolation, the torture, and the rapes has not only the form of a commonality of ethics and ideals, but also the intensity of the emotions I feel in reading the hunger strike statements.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Hooded youth attack riot cops with molotovs after Lex hip hop concert

Posted on 2025/11/13 - 2025/11/13 by darknights

Following excerpt from capitalist scum media:

Violent clashes erupted between hooded youths and police forces in Thessaloniki after a massive anti-system rap concert by artist Lex, attended by more than 40,000 people — one of the largest rap events ever held in Greece.

In the early hours of Sunday, November 2, hundreds of young people with covered faces moved against MAT riot police units, launching a barrage of Molotov cocktails. Police responded with an extensive use of tear gas, turning the area into an asphyxiating battlefield,  several cars caught fire amid running clashes through the city streets.

According to the authorities, 18 people were detained, but only one was arrested on drug-related charges. The arrests followed the violent incidents that erupted shortly after midnight, at the conclusion of Lex’s concert.

The events in Thessaloniki highlight growing social tensions and the risk that large cultural gatherings may turn into flashpoints for clashes.

$hile: After more than three months, the trial against brothers Lucas and Aldo Hernandez comes to an end

Posted on 2025/11/13 - 2025/11/13 by darknights

From: La Zarzamora

Via: Informativo Anarquista

On Monday, November 3rd, the trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernandez came to an end, with both being sentenced to 21 and 12 years in prison, respectively, after more than three months of hearings, in which the authorities attempted to use all their power to achieve an exemplary punishment for both brothers.

On July 21st of this year, amid protests and multiple solidarity actions, the lengthy trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernandez began at the Center for (In)Justice in Santiago. The prosecution, made up of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Chilean Gendarmerie, initially demanded intolerably excessive sentences, ranging from 20 years in prison for Lucas to 90 years in prison for Aldo Hernandez.

Subsequently, after the verdict was read on October 3, the prosecutors requested a sentence of 32 years and 1,100 days for Aldo and a sentence of 18 years and 800 days for Lucas, while Aldo’s defense requested a sentence of 26 years and Lucas’s defense requested a sentence of 12 years. Finally, on November 3, Aldo was sentenced to 21 years and Lucas to 12 years.

The sentences, set out in a document of more than 400 pages, referred to three incidents: 1) the attack on the General Directorate of the Gendarmerie in December 2021; 2) the raid on a residence in Loncura; and 3) the raid on a residence in La Victoria.

Aldo Hernandez was found guilty of the attack on the Gendarmerie Headquarters but acquitted of the crimes of minor injuries to prison guards and the crime of receiving stolen goods. He was also found guilty in relation to the items found in the raid on Loncura ( incident 2) but was acquitted of all the crimes he was charged with in relation to the raid on the home in La Victoria ( incident 3). Lucas, for his part, was convicted of most of the crimes related to the residence in the La Victoria neighborhood, but was acquitted of the crimes of manufacturing weapons and manufacturing explosive devices.

Hamburg, Germany: Incendiary attack on the car of the AfD parliamentary group leader

Posted on 2025/11/12 by darknights

Incendiary attack on the car of Bernd Baumann, chairman of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag

Fiery greetings to the antifas who are being prosecuted, in prison, or on the run!

On the night of November 3, 2025, we destroyed Bernd Baumann’s BMW, president of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag*, which was parked at 111 Trenknerweg in the Othmarschen district of Hamburg, with an incendiary device.

In a few weeks, two major trials against antifas will begin in Dresden and Düsseldorf. Thirteen comrades are accused of several attacks against Nazis and their structures in Germany and Hungary. The heavy sentences in the first trial, known as “Antifa Ost,”** and in the trial against Hanna*** in September indicate a strong desire on the part of the authorities to convict. Until now, the justice system has often found it difficult to convict members of militant left-wing groups that are not organized as guerrilla groups for belonging to a criminal or terrorist organization. Now, those in power are trying to establish new criteria. In Hungary, the Netherlands, and the United States, Antifa has been added to the list of “terrorist” opponents.

At a time when the murderous and racist daily practices of the Nazis, ordinary people, and cops are constantly intensifying, when the closure of borders to refugees, guaranteed by military force, in Europe, Germany, and the United States is increasing, and the US president rambles on about how he loves the smell of deportations in the morning and uses the army against anti-racist protests and resistance, in this era it is urgent to organize militantly against fascism. In other words, to do exactly what the antifas currently being prosecuted are being criticized for.

Form one, two, three, several hammer gangs!

Alerta antifascista, whether with a hammer or a Molotov cocktail!

We don’t want sexists, racists, and fascists in our city!

All you damn MAGAfreaks, you will follow Kirk to hell!

Clara, Emmi, Luca, Nele, Moritz, Paula, Henry, Johann, Julian, Melissa, Nanuk, Paul, and Tobias: stay strong, the fight goes on!

Freedom for Maja, no extradition to Hungary for Zaid!

Attaque Notes:
* The Bundestag is the equivalent of the French National Assembly. The far-right Alternative für Deutschland party has 151 seats there, making it the largest opposition group to the “grand coalition” government, composed of the right (CDU-CSU) and the center-left (SPD).
** A repressive case in which the Saxony state court (in the east of the country) tried four anti-fascist comrades in May 2023 for a series of attacks against neo-Nazis between 2018 and 2020. The sentences ranged from two and a half to five years and three months in prison (for grievous bodily harm and membership of a criminal organization). Lina, the comrade who received the heaviest sentence, as she was considered the leader of the group that the cops and journalists call the “Hammerband” (hammer gang), is currently in prison.
A second trial against seven anti-fascists accused of the same crimes will begin in Dresden on November 25 (see here for information about one of the defendants).
*** An anti-fascist comrade from Nuremberg, Hanna was sentenced to five years in prison for grievous bodily harm and membership of a criminal organization (the prosecution had also charged her with attempted murder) for attacks on neo-Nazis during their “Day of Honor” celebrations in Budapest in February 2023 (as part of the multiple trials taking place in Hungary and Germany in the “Budapest Antifas” case).
In addition to the trial currently underway in Budapest against Maja, six other Antifa members will soon be tried in Düsseldorf on very serious charges of “attempted murder” and “membership of a criminal organization.”

Italy: Luca Dolce – Hunger strike in solidarity with UK prisoners and Palestinian resistance

Posted on 2025/11/12 by darknights

Yesterday, November 4th, I received news of the start of a hunger strike called by tens of political prisoners imprisoned in the United Kingdom for their struggles in solidarity with and for the liberation of Palestine.
In recent months, I read about comrade Teuta “T” Hoxha’s hunger strike, and was able to follow her story and that of comrades Casey Goonan and Malik Muhammad. I had time to ponder in case, as I expected, another chance presented itself to join a struggle which I feel an affinity for, which I feel deeply is my own.
The struggle against prison and the military techno-industrial system is essential for a struggle of broader scope, of revolutionary and internationalist resistance.
I am joining in the hunger strike, starting on November 8th, and will carry it out with an eye to the tactics and approach proposed by the comrades who initiated it. If it continues indefinitely, I will go on while paying attention to my body’s limits, deciding for myself whether and when to stop and continue the protest by other means.
I will take the time I need to share further thoughts as the protest continues. The reasons for this struggle, the actions for which these comrades are now imprisoned, speak for themselves.
I stand by their side with serenity and resolve.
Currently, I do not know whether the Palestinian comrade Anan Yaeesh, imprisoned in Melfi, is still on hunger strike. Regardless, my solidarity with him, Ali, and Mansour is vivid and strong.
With humility and respect, I close these lines by quoting the Kurdish comrade Sakîne Cansiz:
“On the other hand, facing the enemy on your own is also a special thing. Revolutionary will gathers in you. You can feel within yourself conviction, determination, the pure desire to fight. It is the most beautiful part of revolutionary struggle. Nothing distracts you, and you demolish the enemy with the strength of your personality. It is something to do with you, but also with the enemy’s image reflected in you. In your defense, it recognizes its impotence.”

Urgent warning from ABC Indonesia / Palang Hitam

Posted on 2025/11/09 - 2025/11/17 by darknights

ABC Indonesia / Palang Hitam issues a warning there’s a fake fundraising campaign on gogetfunding.com for Indonesian anarchist prisoners under the name Palang Hitam. ABC/PH want to make it clear that, as of now, all new emails/blogs/accounts related to Palang Hitam are fake, except for the old ones. Here’s the old/real contact info for Palang Hitam [Warning these accounts should be considered seized by cops – New account infos will be updated here on Dark Nights or by International ABCs]:

Email: palanghitam@riseup.net

Instagram: @palang__hitam

Blog sites: palanghitamanarkis.noblogs.org

The anarchist prisoners are still in isolation, so it’s super hard to get in touch with them, especially Eat since he’s being accused of leading the “Chaos Star” group. So, ABC/PH is asking you all to cancel any donations made to that fake Palang Hitam fundraiser.

After the police arrested all the anarchist comrades and published the propaganda about the groups getting foreign funds, then there are opportunists who see a way to scam the money and disrupt the solidarity.

Fake Examples (Scammers): Instagram account: @palanghitam_id

Fake Examples (Scammers): gogetfunding.com/urgent-needs-of-indonesia-anarchists

The ABC/PH solidarity donation fund account will be given to those who request it via Dark Nights, or long-standing Anarchist Black Cross groups, who have the ABC/PH fund account already.

Palang Hitam / ABC

Thank you. Long live anarchy! Long live solidarity!

Indonesia: Update Situation of Bima Satria Putra (Pustaka Catut) and a Call for Solidarity!

Posted on 2025/11/01 - 2025/11/05 by darknights

This corrects an earlier info that Bima was transferred to Bandung West Java paramilitary police compound. It seems Bima was only placed in solitary confinement and his comrades couldn’t reach him. LBH Bandung received incorrect info about the supposed prison transfer. Bima’s comrades managed to communicate with him and confirm where he is:

Our friend, Bima Satria Putra, who has been held in prison alongside his friend since early December 2021 for their 15-year sentences due to weed possession, is currently being subjected to solitary confinement.

On October 18th, 2025, between the afternoon and evening, Bima was taken out of his cell by the officers in Merah Mata Prison, Palembang, Indonesia, where he’s been serving his sentence.

At the time of writing (October 30th, 2025, 10AM GMT+7), we are yet unable to ascertain what caused Bima to be taken from his cell, where/what else he has been taken or subjected to, and by whose orders. Moreover, the legal counsel appointed to assist Bima is being obstructed from access by the prison administration, and has been unable to reach Bima thus far.

Mexico: Urgent – Imprisoned Anarchist Comrade Jorge Esquivel’s Life Is At Risk

Posted on 2025/10/30 by darknights

From Cruz Negra Anarquista – Mexico City:

In recent weeks, Jorge Esquivel’s health has deteriorated due to a lack of adequate medical care. He has requested medical attention within the Reclusorio Sur prison, but it has not been provided properly or promptly. This has led to weight loss and intense abdominal pain, significantly reducing his mobility.

Jorge has a history of serious gastrointestinal problems and even underwent surgery to remove part of his intestine before being imprisoned again by the state. His recovery process was interrupted by his arrest in December 2022. Since then, he has not received any treatment to improve his health.

Let solidarity be expressed to demand medical attention and proper treatment!

Solidarity and strength to Jorge Esquivel!
