Paris, France: Fire involving a crane at the Baudrière construction site in Montreuil

Posted on 2025/10/26 by darknights

It was in lower Montreuil, in a seemingly quiet neighborhood, that an inexplicable and unexpected tragedy occurred during the night of Wednesday, October 22 to Thursday, October 23. Passersby noticed a sudden glow: the cab of a crane was on fire, causing chaos and widespread panic.

The firefighters were slow to arrive. This gave the fire time to cause considerable, irreversible, and unspeakable damage. Although relatively invisible from the street except for the blackened windows of the cabin, the significant impact of this fire was revealed to us by a source close to the investigation. The cabin, burned out from the inside, is now completely unusable.

The vehicle in question was located on the Imava construction site at 65 bis rue Voltaire, the real estate developer that evicted the squat known as La Baudrière in August 2022. This construction site is currently at a standstill.

Shortly afterwards, we received a text containing an interview with an expert on the event in question. Will it shed light on this very dark affair? We sincerely hope so.

Barraux (Isère), France: A glimmer of hope under the hood for the Lyon-Turin project

Posted on 2025/10/26 by darknights

We claim responsibility for:
One autumn night, a fire, three construction vehicles burned at the Barreaux quarry in Isère.
Owned by Vicat Béton, beneficiary and accomplice in the devastation caused by the construction of the second Lyon-Turin railway line.

The targets:
– 1 sifter, sorting the aggregates extracted from the quarry by size
– 2 bulldozers, moving rubble and leveling the ground

If you still believe that destroying our territories for this project is a good idea, you have been misinformed.
If you think that the 3 vehicles we burned will be enough to slow down the construction site, you are mistaken.
We will have to attack from all sides to shake TELT. They are the vandals.

Quarries are poorly monitored and are an essential link in the construction process. Slowing down the supply means slowing down the construction site.

Let’s light the fire under the hood. The flame spreads quickly.

URGENT: Update and Postal Address for the 43 “Chaos Star” Imprisoned Comrades in Bandung (Indonesia)

URGENT: Defendants in the “Chaos Star” network case face up to 20 years in prison

After the mass revolts in August 2025, where a large section of the population rose up and attacked the state’s basic corruption and inequality, 43 anarchist comrades are imprisoned at the West Java paramilitary police compound in Bandung. There is no access for anyone but the families, and even this is minimal. The detainees have been cut off and they are being used in a mainstream media manipulation campaign by the Indonesian state. Many of the imprisoned comrades are very young. They are all accused of being part of the individualist-nihilist “Chaos Star” network, which is a fabrication created by the police for the purpose of their prosecution. The police claim that the imprisoned comrades were radicalised by ‘Leaders’ and funded by foreign anarchist organisations. The cops point to the existence of banners, flags, books, pamphlets and music, which is in the possession of the detainees, as commonly held items denotative of membership of this “Chaos Star” organisation.

Some of the comrades are accused of serious direct actions such as molotov attacks, arson, riot, property destruction, etc. Lastly some of the comrades are accused of instigation, either online, for their blogs or social medias or for their ‘prominent’ role. They are isolated in the paramilitary compound and the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) in Bandung has been blocked from representing them. An option is to hire a private lawyer but that would cost tens of millions (rupiah). We ask for heightened attention to this dangerous situation. Torture and abuse are being widely used on the detainees, confirmed by the families. The young comrades were injured and hurt until they gave false confessions that they were even at the demonstrations and/or part of specific organisations, as they were subjected to the brutality of the paramilitary police. This is a known fact and a reality that we have to confront. In the wake of the insurrection across Indonesia against the right-wing ex-military Prabowo Subianto, the young people and the anarchist movement has been severely repressed by the regime. Many young people have been caught up in the police assaults and regardless of their supposed “guilt” or “non-guilt”, we extend our solidarity with them, and to all those who struggle against social oppression, prisons, police and the state.

Federal Agents Arrest Another Person in Prairieland Case, Bringing Total Number of Defendants to 18 (USA)

Posted on 2025/10/25 by darknights

The Arrest Comes More Than Three Months After July 4 Immigrant Solidarity Protest and Less Than a Month After Felony Charges Were Brought Against Johnson County Sheriff Adam King, Who Is Directly Involved in the Prairieland Case

DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX — In an early morning raid yesterday, federal agents arrested another person in connection with a July 4 protest at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center. More than three months after the protest, Janette Goering was arrested by federal and local police at her home in Carrollton, Texas, on Tuesday, October 21. Goering is being held at Johnson County Jail on a state charge of aiding in the commission of terrorism and has a bond set at $5 million.

Goering’s arrest continues a trend of escalation by police and prosecutors in a case that now involves 18 defendants. The government is using exorbitant bonds of up to $15 million to imprison all but one of the defendants. “It’s unbelievable that more than three months later the state is still trying to widen the net in this case,” said a spokesperson for the DFW Support Committee, a group of family and loved ones of defendants. “They’re attempting to prosecute this as an “Antifa” case in order to terrorize the movement in solidarity with immigrants, but it’s not going to work.”

The case has been hailed by the Trump administration as the first legal case against “Antifa.” On October 15, federal charges were formally brought against two of the Prairieland defendants, Autumn Hill and Zachary Evetts; the charges include 1 count of providing material support to terrorists, 3 counts of attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States, and 3 counts of discharging a firearm during, in relation to, and in furtherance of a crime of violence. FBI director Kash Patel called the defendants “Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists,” sharing Fox News coverage of the indictments on X. “This seems like a coordinated political campaign,” said Stephanie Shiver, wife of defendant Meagan Morris. “The feds didn’t do anything for months and then they bring everyone into court just days after Trump designated ‘Antifa’ a priority threat.” On September 25, the White House released the National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), which ordered all federal law enforcement agencies to prioritize combating “Antifa” as a domestic terrorism threat.

‘October Repression Round Up’ – In Contempt #57 (USA)

Posted on 2025/10/18 - 2025/10/18 by darknights

Here is the round up of repression for October from In Contempt.

Casey Goonan Sentencing

From Casey’s support committee:

Today at the federal building in downtown Oakland, dozens of friends, comrades and family gathered to support Casey at their sentencing hearing. Before a courtroom with pews full of supporters, both the US Attorney and Casey’s legal team made their arguments before the judge in addition to Casey themselves addressing the court and reading a prepared statement.

In alignment with the plea deal between the prosecution and the defense, the prosecution asked for a sentence of 188 months with an additional 15 years of close supervision afterwards that would include, among other restrictions, no possession of a computer or digital device without the approval of a parole officer, the installation of surveillance software on any device if possession was granted. The defense didn’t contest the close supervision but proposed a sentence of 96 months.

After a recount of his reasoning and overall position, the judge was vicious, pronouncing a sentence of 235 months and then 15 years of close supervision. This is 20 years, well beyond the plea deal agreement, and nearly the limit of the federal sentencing guidelines of 240 months.

Greece: Text by Fotis Tziotzis for the Greek FBI’s hounds

Posted on 2025/10/02 - 2025/10/02 by darknights

Yesterday at noon, the Greek FBI* conducted a targeted surprise search of my cell and, after a thorough investigation, managed to seize letters of solidarity from comrades abroad as well as an MP3 stick with my favorite music well hidden, which means that a resounding blow was dealt to the music industry!

As if that weren’t enough, a case file was compiled with various sticks, videos, and two empty SIM cards found on other prisoners.

This is not the first time that such a case file has been compiled by the same “hounds,” as two months earlier, during a raid on Korydallos prison where I was being held for trial, a hinge that had fallen from a window was found in my cell and considered a “weapon.”

The constant targeting of me by the cops cannot stand in the way of my progress inside and outside the prison walls.

They also have the support of some websites, which, with exaggerations and guided lies, try to throw mud at me, attributing various imaginative qualities to me.

I don’t want to ramble on and on, I just want to emphasize that I am “here,” fighting and unshakeable in my beliefs.

See you on the streets of Freedom!

DN Note

* ‘Greek FBI’, Διεύθυνση Αντιμετώπισης Οργανωμένου Εγκλήματος (ΔΑΟΕ), Directorate for Combating Organized Crime, is a special service of the Greek Police, setup in 2024, responsible for dismantling organized criminal groups and prosecuting drug and financial crimes. They have a wide scope that includes mafia, drug dealing networks, robbery, even hooligans, but now even anarchists in a further attempt to describe the actions of them as ‘criminality’ to deligitimise their struggle. Not that we as an anarchist collective have any problem with what is described as ‘criminality’.
More than 500 members of the new agency had their names leaked on the internet only one week after it first began its repressive work.

Italy: Mobilization Against the Censorship of the Mail of Anarchist Prisoner Salvatore Verspertino

Posted on 2025/10/02 - 2025/10/02 by darknights

Salvatore Verspertino is an anarchist imprisoned in Spoleto since March 2025 after his extradition from Spain to Italy. For several weeks, he has been the victim of censorship of his mail and parcels of books with at least 18 letters blocked since the end of August. In view of this situation, his supporters are calling for a massive mailing of postcards to testify to the important movement of support. In addition, they invite you to write letters to him by registered mail. In view of the informal and arbitrary blocking of book parcels, they advise sending him only one book at a time, as well as sending him magazines and newspapers of all types (the comrade likes history magazines in particular) by registered mail.

Write him : Salvatore Vespertino · Spoleto prison · Località Maiano, 10 · 06049 – Spoleto (PG) (Italy)

Volkovysk, Belarus: A police officer’s car and house were set on fire

Posted on 2025/10/02 by darknights

In the town of Volkovysk, Grodno region, unknown heroes set fire to a car and a house under construction belonging to a local police officer.
Flammable liquid is available to everyone. It can be purchased at a gas station, in a store, or obtained from a trusted friend who owns a car. Arson is very simple to commit. Identify the cars, houses, cottages, and garages of Belarusian police officers, prosecutors, investigators, KGB agents, judges, prison guards, etc. Work out a detailed plan of attack and retreat. Come to the target at 3 a.m. and set it on fire, making sure to pour plenty of gasoline inside. Of course, the criminal investigation department will be looking for the arsonists. But if everything is done cleanly, there will be no trace…

Anarchist comrade Eat kidnapped by the police and held incommunicado (Indonesia)

Posted on 2025/10/02 - 2025/10/02 by darknights

After the uprising in August 2025, the Indonesian state is weakened and looks for scapegoats. On the 23rd of September, the bastards claimed another one and kidnapped comrade Eat. Eat is a wellknown anarchist who had spent time in prison on several occasions, such as for armed robbery and an incendiary attacks against a bank. His ex-girlfriend, Anzi Matta, snitched on him and that’s why he got caught, according to police. The cops seized his laptop and phone, so that will be part of his case buildup. The police bastards are holding him incommunicado, like the rest of the anarchists. Right now he’s being held at the West Java Regional Police Station in Bandung. That’s where many comrades are held. We don’t know what official charges and accusations they will hit him with. We do know that he was being publicly accused of being the leader of the anarchist “Star of Chaos” variant in Indonesia, in connection with the riots last August. We have not heard about such a leader of anarchists, let alone nihilists, before. Nor have we heard of any such formal network of chaotics yet. Evidence of cops is simply, possession of flag or items, zines, musics, social media profile, participation or not in the riots, in many cases it appears, to try to legitimate the use of the anti-terrorist laws. At first sight seems like another absurd and fantastical concoction of the anti-terrorist unit, such as the lie that international funding of $500,000 created the revolt. This is part of the Indonesian state trying to change the narrative. Across the region our currents and tendencies grow. Their future is finished, anarchism is the narrative.

We know that according to the news circulating in Indonesia, after arresting 42 people accused of being part of egoist/insurrectionist cells, the police were pursuing Eat because he was also suspected of being a fundraiser, working on prisoner solidarity and connected to international anarchists, that is, he maintained friendships across borders. The police try to weaken the anarchist resolve by blaming snitches and creating anarcho-phantasms, but we know they lie and use torture. What we know is that the police are spreading that the former partner of Eat, Anzi Matta, helped them with information that lead to the arrest of Eat in Makassar, and he was brought to the West Java Regional Police in Bandung on 23rd September, where he remains.

Direct Action at Indonesian embassies, corporate interests and related.

Freedom for the prisoners – Death to the state.
