Bandung, West Java, Indonesia: Propane bomb & molotov attack on local parliament building by ‘Free Association of Autonomous Fires’

Posted on 2023/04/28 by darknights

Received anonymously & reposted:

Yesterday we strike a blow against local parliament building in Bandung, West Java. Armed with propane bomb and molotovs, we managed to destroy huge part of the building resulting in wildfires that destroy most of their archives. During endless demonstration against the newly labour law, where most of the protesters are consisting of movement brokers, wanna-be politician, social anarchists, we choose to strike at a different place. As we will never beg or demand the so called rights from the powers that be. This action is dedicated to Alfredo Cospito, Toby Shone, Monica and Fransisco, Chilean and Greek anarchists imprisoned, and to all anarchist insurgents everywhere!

For Anarchy and destruction of the existent

Rome, Italy: Responsibility claim for the explosive attack against the Aeronautica Militare base of Forte Appio by Circolo d’azione “8 marzo” (April 22, 2023)

Responsibility claim for the explosive attack against the Aeronautica Militare base of Forte Appio by Circolo d’azione “8 marzo” (Rome, Italy, April 22, 2023)

On the night of April 22nd, we placed a device near Forte Appio in Rome, one of the hideouts of Aeronautica Militare [italian Air Force]. We celebrate the 100th anniversary of its birth in this way. A little reminder for those who sow war and misery all over the world. Banks, politicians, military, scientists… they are rubbish and as such must be wiped out. Let’s not forget the massacres in the sea and in prisons like when in March 2020 the state suppressed with blood the just revolt of the prisoners, killing 14 of them. Strength and love for Serge, a comrade who is between life and death after being shot by the French cops. Solidarity with Alfredo, Juan, Anna and all those who do not lower their heads. For the diffusion of revolutionary, violent and destructive action.

Rome, Italy: About the constitutional court hearing on the convictions for anarchists Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino in the Scripta Manent trial + Anarchist Alfredo Cospito ‘interrupted’ his hunger strike undertaken since Oct. 20 [Corrected]

Posted on 2023/04/20 - 2023/04/28 by darknights

DN Note: We have been informed by comrades in Italy that comrade Alfredo has only interrupted his hunger strike, that the isolation that is 41 bis prevents us knowing what his real motivations are at present.

About the constitutional court hearing on the convictions for anarchists Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino in the Scripta Manent trial (Rome, April 18, 2023)

A hearing was held today in the constitutional court on the case of Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino on charges of political massacre (art. 285 c. p.) within the Scripta Manent trial.

The current Cirielli law (year 2005, Berlusconi government) prevents mitigating factors from outweighing aggravating factors in the case of recidivism. In Alfredo Cospito’s case, in particular, this would have resulted in a certain sentence of hostile life imprisonment despite the fact that the action he and Anna are accused of did not cause any victims.

The court therefore found this provision unconstitutional. More, reading the terse press release that came out of the building, the court seems to have raised constitutionality doubts in general with respect to all those cases in which the fixed penalty is configured solely as life imprisonment.

Recall that Alfredo Cospito has been on hunger strike for almost 6 months precisely against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment. A struggle for which his comrade is risking his life and during which he may already have suffered permanent neurological damage. A struggle that Alfredo has always reiterated is not just for himself, but for everyone, particularly in solidarity with anarchist, communist and revolutionary prisoners. Today’s decision will have consequences not only for the fate of our comrade, but is a blow, however circumscribed, to the institution of life imprisonment in this country.

Russia: Radical Resistance 29.03 – 13.04.2023

Posted on 2023/04/18 by darknights

Bashkortostan

On March 29 the court ordered four guerrillas to be put under arrest who used flammable liquid to set fire to a relay cabinet located at the 3rd kilometer of the line “Karlaman – Priuralie” in Karmaskalinsky district of the republic. Among the detainees were a student of a radio engineering college, a furniture polisher, an unemployed man and a teenager.

According to the investigation, after the first successful arson, they decided to set fire to a second cabinet near Urshak station. There they were detained, wearing balaclavas and carrying flammable liquids.

A criminal case was instigated under articles “Act of terrorism” and “Preparation for a crime”, while the first arson was prosecuted under article “Intentional destruction or damage to property”.

Kemerovo

On 31.03 guerrillas burnt a relay cabinet, this time in Kemerovo. The RDPS movement claimed responsibility, reporting that the local media were ordered to cover up the incident. The guerrillas managed to get away.

St. Petersburg

02.04 A bomb was detonated in a cafe in St. Petersburg, killing Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin), a military correspondent and propagandist for Putin’s regime. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the explosive device detonated by remote control detonated between 300 and 450 grams of TNT equivalent. Responsibility for the action was claimed by “the St. Petersburg column of the National Republican Army,” associated with the tg-channel Rospartizan.

Cafe Patriot was founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, and then handed it over to the patriotic movement Cyber Front Z. It organized a “creative evening” for Tatarsky.

Daria Trepova, an FBK supporter and participant of anti-war actions, was indicted. She is charged under Part 3 B of Article 205, Part 4 of Article 222.1 of the Criminal Code (terrorist act committed by an organized group, deliberately causing human death; illegal carrying of explosive devices, committed by an organized group). According to the investigation, on April 2, Trepova, “following the instructions of persons acting from the territory of Ukraine”, brought a statue stuffed with explosives to the cafe and gave it to Tatarsky.

Daria was detained in a rented apartment in the Vyborg district of the city. During the interrogation she stated that she was used undercover, that she did not know what was inside the statuette. She also stated that the fulfillment of the task of gaining Tatarsky’s trust and passing the statuette was a condition of getting a good job in Kiev.

France: Some news about Ivan, an inmate in Villepinte prison

Posted on 2023/04/15 - 2023/04/15 by darknights

Some news about Ivan, an inmate in Villepinte prison (France, April 8, 2023)

Some news about Ivan

Hello,
I am writing to give some news about my detention and investigation.

The “attentions” that the prison administration (and/or the preliminary investigation judge?) show me continue. More reprisals for my hunger strikes? Who knows.

In any case, on February 14 there was the third search of my cell (after those of December 6 and January 9). Around 7:30 p.m. the ERIS (anti-terror cops) arrived, with helmets, balaclavas and shields. There were a dozen of them, one officer was holding papers, on the first one I could see my photograph. Ours was the only cell searched in this section (but they let a dog through the corridors), two other cells in another section, I don’t know in the other buildings. The prison warden, Michael Merci, and the assistant warden were also there, watching, from behind the glass doors.
As soon as we were out of the cell, they handcuffed us, me and my concellino (who had been here in the section for just a week) and took us to the shower room, on the ground floor, for the traditional body search. We were locked in the showers during the two-hour cell search.
They found a cell phone with a charger. On Tuesday, March 21, I then went to the disciplinary board. As punishment, I am deprived of the spesina for 30 days.

On March 30, same thing. The ELAC (the prison security “squad”) arrived and the story started again.

As for the investigation, in recent months new elements have been incorporated into the dossier.
The most significant is that the police were able to gain access to my computers, even though they were encrypted.
The one at work, on which Windows is installed, is encrypted with BitLocker. A report incorporated with the file earlier says that they had already tried to access it during my police detention, but had not succeeded. But in September, the Brigade d’appui en téléphonie, cyber-investigation et analyse criminelle (Brigade of support in telephony, cyber-investigation and criminal analysis) sent SDAT a copy of the hard drive. In the report, they explain only that they booted the computer with a USB stick and then used the AccesData FTK imager 3.3.05 program to copy the hard disk. But they do not mention the decryption operation itself.

My personal computer, running Ubuntu 18, is encrypted with Luks (the password is more than twenty characters: letters, digits, punctuation marks…). I did not find in the file any indication of the means they used to decrypt it, but again they made a copy of the hard drive. There are even files that had been deleted and e-mails that had been downloaded with Thunderbird (and then deleted).
They found nothing that could be related to the fires I am accused of. But I think the very fact that they were able to have access to encrypted hard drives with programs supposed to be inviolable should be known as widely as possible.

My mail continues to be severely slowed down (on average, I receive letters a month and a half to two months after they are mailed): the preliminary investigation judge reads all the letters I get and write. Four of my letters were photocopied and incorporated into the file: two that I had written to people from the anti-prison magazine l'”Envolée,” one addressed to Boris (the comrade from Besançon who is in the hospital following the fire in his cell, in the Nancy prison, in August 2021) and the one, addressed to the Gare, near Bure, in which I explained that in “my” dossier appears the complaint that the editor-in-chief of the regional newspaper l'”Est Républicain” filed against the administrators of the website burebure. info for reproducing the claim of a car fire at the newspaper (a fire for which I am accused)

Otherwise, my preventive detention has been extended until mid-June.

I am fine, my spirits are high and I am sorry I cannot be in the square these days.
A thought in solidarity for Alfredo (and all the compas in prison).
Solidarity is the attack!
Long live anarchy!

Ivan

Chile: In the face of the removal of the Noticias de la guerra social website

Posted on 2023/04/15 by darknights

In 2014, we started this counter-information project dedicated to disseminating and documenting the various attacks on the domain, some of them claimed and others anonymous, maintaining a simple format that kept alive only in and with the very pulse of the conflict.

Without worrying too much, we decided to use the most popular service at the time, “wordpress,” since the websites hosted in other “alternative” servers (noblogs, espiv, altervista, lahaine, entodaspartes, etc.) were not considered to be “alternative”. [altervista does not qualify as an “alternative” server, since it is part of the Mondadori group, ed.]) were often removed, either due to repressive attacks or simply due to the termination of their respective projects.

In October-November 2022 https://noticiasdelaguerrasocial.wordpress.com/ was removed from the web, losing that valuable archive and tool for communication and information among antagonists. Far from appealing to “freedom of expression” or complaining about the servers’ own “privacy policies,” we merely noted the fragility of Internet-based projects. Fragility that we knew a priori, but we decided to bet on informal communication and the diffusion of living and latent conflict.

Questions remain in the air: what are the characteristics of our media? How solid are they? What is their degree of autonomy? Do we have our own infrastructure of communication and counter-information? How dependent or susceptible are we? We need to draw some collective lessons from the Italian state’s repressive attack on communication tools such as Radioazione, Culmine or “Vetriolo.” Continue reading “Chile: In the face of the removal of the Noticias de la guerra social website” →

La Paz, Bolivia: Claim of the placement of an incendiary device against a police van

Posted on 2023/04/15 by darknights

Recieved & transmitted:

In the early morning of April 6, around 3:30 a.m. on Mariscal Santa Cruz Avenue, between Oruro and Cochabamba streets, four half-liter bottles filled with gasoline were placed on one of the front wheels of a police van parked in the middle of downtown La Paz, tied with tape and a simple activation system (consisting of incense with matches tied at one end).

Even if the strategy of power is to silence and make invisible the antagonistic practices, they will continue to be present, seeking to stress and intensify the conflict on all horizons.They know the potential of spreading the attack, and so do we.

It is a commitment to continue this struggle that other comrades have been waging for more than a century against power, capital, the state and all forms of authoritarianism. Let us give life to anarchic praxis here and now, responding to structural violence with revolutionary action. Let them doubt the security of their surveillance systems, let them tremble at the possibility of fire. Let them know that their system of misery does not have us all subdued, asleep, defeated. Let us recover the life they want to steal from us, attacking the infrastructure that protects the oppressor, one blow at a time, until the attack becomes customary, until the normal thing is to see them burn.

When power punishes with long sentences, torture, solitary confinement, isolation and death, the present challenge demands concrete and offensive action. A constant action that is not limited to the times of power, that is that is more than just a reaction to repression.

It is time to aim at strengthening ties between like-minded people, breaking down borders, empowering our borders, empower our capacities, educate ourselves in the necessary knowledge to knowledge necessary to qualify our skills, without bosses or leaders. without bosses or leaders.

Let’s conspire for the comrades in prison to go out to the streets. Beyond the slogans, let us slogans, let us make it clear that they are not alone, with all the means at our disposal. Long live all the efforts of the anarchic struggle!

All the states are accomplices of oppression, all are one and the same force of subjugation, the entire of subjugation, all the police the same enemy of liberation.

This action is in solidarity with Alfredo Cóspito, who is on strike since October 20 against the 41 bis regime and life imprisonment in the territory in conflict with the Italian state. Alfredo present in the action in the streets!

A complicit greeting to Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar who will soon face trial will face oral trial risking decades of imprisonment. To Aldo and Lucas Hernandez, arrested and accused for the explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie in the territory in conflict with the Chilean state. Strength comrades, nothing is over, everything continues.

Internationalist and insurrectionist solidarity with the prisoners in struggle in the prisons of the world!
For the destruction of the prisons and the society that needs them!
Freedom to the prisoners!
Death to the state, long live Anarchy!

Chile: Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar’s words in view of the upcoming trial

Posted on 2023/04/15 - 2023/04/15 by darknights

Justice is already fine-tuning all the details for his big celebration, he will choose his best clothes and meticulously sharpen his sword. Nothing can go wrong at the moment when he will show himself as he is: the executioner of the powerful.

The sword of justice has been kept in storage waiting for the key moment to strike the right blow to our bodies. That moment translated into punitive punishment will find its climax in the oral trial, which is already set for May 19. This trial is expected to be a long process of several months.

During the month of March we were in the preparation of the oral trial – an instance prior to the trial – where the court, which until now had conducted our criminal proceedings, decided the basis of what will be our next trial.

Basically, the trial will use against us all the legal process for which we were convicted for the placement of an explosive device in the Basilica del Pilar in Zaragoza, as well as practically all the documented evidence of the prosecution, ranging from pamphlets to anarchic books found in our homes.

The recycling of the case already completed in Spain is part of the stubborn insistence of the prosecutor to validate all the antecedents that position us as repeat offenders of the same crimes. Continue reading “Chile: Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar’s words in view of the upcoming trial” →

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for the attack on the central MAT riot cops’ den in Goudi area

Posted on 2023/04/15 - 2023/04/15 by darknights

We take responsibility for the massive arson attack that took place at the central premises of the riot police in Goudi on Tuesday 28 March. Our action comes as a minimal response to the orgy of repression unleashed by the New Democracy government against the mass and militant protests against the state-capitalist crime in Tempe.

The government’s law and order doctrine is the other side of neoliberal policies, class inequality, poverty and privatisation. In the run-up to the election period, attacking the law and order doctrine, attacking the forces of repression, causing unrest targeting, among others, the pigs of the police, is a priority in order to defeat in practice this political doctrine that has left dead and wounded in its wake.

The incendiary attack on the central riot police headquarters was a signal of solidarity with those who took to the streets and clashed with the uniformed watchdogs of the State. To those who lost their own people to State-capitalist crime. To those who are thinking of taking the step to move from abstract condemnation, denunciation, peaceful protest, to a political strategy of which revolutionary violence is an integral part.

Against the organised violence and terrorism of the State, with their guns pointing at us and sometimes going off – always by accident – with their truncheons breaking our bones, with their tear gas suffocating us. Organized revolutionary violence that seeks small and large cracks to make itself felt, to fight back, to make fear change sides, is the only solution.

Solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker Alfredo Cospito who is fighting against the regime of isolation and torture 41bis

Solidarity to those who are in the streets of rage in France and who are revolting in the heart of Europe-capitalist castle.
