Schedule 7: Anarchist comrade Toby Shone stopped at Gatwick Airport after Ozora rave
“I don’t know”, “I can’t remember”
On the 5th August 2025 Toby was returning from the legendary Ozora psytrance festival in Hungary where he’d been partying for 12 days and invited to speak about social shifts, the war on drugs and his experience of being in prison for psychedelics. At the UK passport checkpoint he was approached by an Officer William NORMAN #39947, accompanied by a larger group of basement dwelling plain clothes bureaucrats of the Counter-Terror Police South East. Toby was detained against his will for several hours and subjected to weak verbal threats and physical intimidation. Toby was searched and his phone and MP3 player were seized by the cops.
Officer NORMAN unsuccessfully attempted to covertly record Toby’s legal call with his lawyer and it was clear that the police were upset that he’d been able to leave the country. According to NORMAN their intent was the continuation of the open investigation and harassment of our anarchist comrade on the first occasion that he re-entered a UK border, which granted them special powers of interrogation and seizure. Toby was later released without any arrest or charge.
This incident comes as the last collective house from Operation Adream was attacked and raided by violent local thugs and an armed response unit of Gloucestershire police in late March. One comrade was arrested and released under investigation and another comrade was identified at gunpoint, as they had issued an arrest warrant for Toby for Grievous Bodily Harm, which was related to self-defense to the attack on the collective house in Forest of Dean. An armed police team with dogs and torches searched for Toby in the surrounding forest and issued threats that Toby was a “danger to police”, which is only to justify their use of violence. This marker against Toby was set by agents of the National Security Division and Counter-Terror Police, after a few of them got their feelings hurt.
At no point was Toby asked about any of this, nor about anything related to “extremism”, or “terrorism”. Every State, authoritarian or democratic, calls its opponents “terrorists”, “extremists”. In a world of modern televised genocide these terms have completely lost any meaning. The time for revolutionary change is now. Fuck Schedule 7! Fuck the CTPSE!

Forest Case solidarity group
Claim of incendiary outing in solidarity with Aldo and Lucas, USACH, July 10.
The urban guerrilla persists in every action, in every moment where the foundations of this society tremble and fear is replaced by the terror of the imminent conflict.
These are the words that we hear in everyday life, in the diversity of spaces that at some point in our journey we have heard but that have multiplied even more with the passage of time, however fewer and fewer violent actions occur in this disgusting society, rather than wanting to deepen and carry out a thorough analysis of this (which we believe should be taken care of by the pathetic academics who enjoy playing the passive role in the face of the enemy of much theory and no action), we want to vindicate our brothers Aldo and Lukas through actions that were carried out in the search to break the passive and unhealthy daily life mentioned in which at the gates of their trial we decided to show brief but necessary gestures of combative solidarity, that those who face decades of imprisonment are not alone and that the conflict persists against those who subject us to this alienated life, that although today it was only an incendiary confrontation against the bastard police, in the near future there will be bullets piercing their bodies and bombs exploding in their faces, Prosecutors, gendarmes, police or any collaborator of the day we are living in, do not sleep peacefully, that we continue to sharpen our ideas and real threats will be made against you, that nothing is finished, that everything continues here in one way or another, that we know our path and that no matter what we will take our freedom and that of our brothers by assault.
LONG LIVE THE FIRE AND THE TERROR OF EXPLOSIONS.

14 years have passed since the morning of Wednesday, June 1 in 2011 when the comrade Luciano Pitronello, known as Tortu, was gravely wounded after attempting to place an explosive artifact in a branch of Santander Bank in Santiago de Chile. This action, though failed in its execution, turned into an inflection point, not only for his life, but also for the anarchist space that surrounded him and of which he was a part…
The Context of the Offensive and Repression
Luciano acted in a moment of high tension. Since the death in action of comrade Mauricio Morales in 2009, who tried to attack the nefarious Gendarmerie School, a repressive offensive was unleashed against anarchist spaces in Chile. The cruelest point of this persecution was on August 14, 2010, when the government of Sebastián Piñera executed a media and police frame up known as the Bombs Case. 14 comrades from different social spaces and squats were arrested, while another comrade went on the run to avoid prison.
Many spaces closed, and the anarchist environment suffered a retreat. All this was due to the fact that, for years, there had been various direct attacks against power claimed by anarchist groups.
In that context, Luciano’s act was not a desperate gesture, but a clear signal: the anarchist offensive against power was still alive. With his action, he not only sought to strike the symbols and structures of capital, but also to show solidarity with the comrades imprisoned in the bombs case, which was later dropped.

At dawn on 25/7 we carried out an arson attack on a private cop’s motorcycle in the area of Elliniko. As a result, it suffered significant damage and was forced to repair it. This move was not accidental as we chose to attack a uniformed garbage at a time when the state is increasingly strengthening the security forces with more funds in equipment and human resources, as well as privileges for them. This is done in an attempt by the state to shield internal social peace against resistance, against those who struggle, against the internal enemy, against the anarchist space. So it uses the cops as protectors of the politically and economically powerful, securing their interests. In the same strategy, it militarizes repression and control, tightens the laws and the penal code. At the same time, it displaces those who are left over and sterilizes the city center and public spaces (parks, squares, universities, etc.), evacuates squats and takes more security forces to protect goods, tourism, construction, and in general the gentrification and investment plans at the expense of the poor and persecuted.
With this move we want to remind in every direction that for us no cop can sleep peacefully and everyone has a responsibility from the moment they consciously decide to support the state and sovereignty with their work.
We dedicate this action to the memory of the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris
We send incendiary signals of solidarity to the anarchist comrades Marianna and Dimitra who are being prosecuted for the same case

A few days before Andreas’ apology, we carried out acts of sabotage and wrote slogans on several banks and ATMs in the city of Patras, as a minimal symbolic gesture of solidarity with him.
Andreas was accused of forming and joining the “terrorist” organization “Conspiracy Vengance” and since April 26, he has been held in pretrial detention at the Amfissa prison. On May 16, his trial began at the Lukareos Court of Appeals in Athens, where the court decided to acquit him, thus ending his detention, as he is now outside the prison walls.
As an anarchist, Andreas is targeted by the authorities because of his long-standing and ongoing participation in social and class struggles in the city of Patras. He has chosen to stand against every oppressor and alongside every oppressed person, against every authority that dominates our lives, and to fight for a free world.
The conspiracy built by the Patras state security and the anti-terrorist service, and ratified by the prosecutor and investigator, with well-known tactics such as upgrading charges, anonymous phone calls, the use of conversations with imprisoned detainees to create profiles and criminalize friendly and comradely relationships, reveals at its core the central and timeless policy of the state to attack and suppress anyone who struggles. For this reason, we recognize the prosecution and attack on our comrade as a targeted attack on the entire anarchist and anti-authoritarian movement.
Obviously, the media played an important role in the prosecution of Andreas, as they took care from the outset to reproduce the police press releases and comment on them, deliberately adding characterizations and false information to the detriment of our comrade. In this way, they created an image of Andreas as a “hardened criminal,” distorting his political identity, while at the same time reinforcing the fear that already exists in society and glorifying the role and work of the police. All of the above contribute to his early social condemnation.
Finally, for this symbolic act of solidarity, we chose as our target one of the foundations of capitalism, power, and oppression. Because banks and capital, together with states, contribute to the complete destruction of the world in order to maintain the capitalist system, which alienates, crushes, destroys, and takes away everything we have to survive. It is time to take it all back.

STRUGGLE UNTIL THE LAST PRISON IS DEMOLISHED (A)

On Friday 18/7, the court ended the “Revenge Conspiracy” case in which the anarchist comrade Andreas Floros was on trial. After the prosecutor’s acquittal, the court unanimously declared the comrade innocent due to doubt concerning membership and with no doubts at all on any other charges, and Andreas was released from Korydallos prison a few hours later.
Over 70 people were gathered in solidarity inside and outside the courtroom, which was tightly cordoned off by all the special forces of the police, breaking the deafening silence of every kind of court with slogans of solidarity, standing by Andreas and every persecuted person.
The acquittal comes after 15 months of being held hostage in Amfissa and Korydallos prisons for Andreas, who from the first moment of his arrest denied any charges in the otherwise bleak scenario of the anti-terrorism. Once again, it was proven that the anti-terrorism, relying on the legislative framework of 187A, is organizing persecutions against anarchists and individuals in struggle. In this way, they have repeatedly attempted to spread fear around anyone who dares to question and stand against the dominant dictates of the exploitation system.
In a case with many parameters that had to be taken into account by the world of solidarity, we witnessed vengeful methods, not only against our comrade but also against the other defendants in the case aimed at supporting the anti-terrorist scenario and ultimately imposing exhaustive sentences on most of them. In a court in which any coherent evidence leading to the support of 187A was not even supplied by the very service that had led to the prosecution, the terrorist once again became the Trojan horse so that the scenarios and methods of the state and the MME could be validated .
Thus, those accused and convicted under 187A, received long-term sentences in the first instance, starting from 15 years and reaching 37 years (estimated 20) for the anarchist Fotis Tziotzis, who, although he was imprisoned during the time the actions of the indictment took place, was convicted of “moral instigation” for all the actions and for “direction” of the organization. At the same time, no mitigating circumstances were recognized, even for the accused who “fell” under 187A.
In the face of this entire horror-narrative, for 15 months now comrade Andreas has maintained a consistent militant stance throughout the condition of confinement. He published texts both on his case and on broader social/class issues and participated in several events by telephone. Furthermore, a solidarity movement was set up with dozens of events and actions in several cities. The solidarity movement succeeded in reversing the terror regime that the police had tried to impose, especially in the city of Patras. The world of struggle found itself on the streets and stood against repression in an era of accelerating state violence and an imposed modern totalitarianism.
Andreas’s case encapsulates all the vengeful fury of the state and the police against those who unwaveringly stand by the oppressed and exploited, on the side of those at the bottom of this world.
To those who do not tolerate repression, fascism, sexism, war, death and poverty. To those who fight for a world of freedom, equality and solidarity.

Letter writing + Talk with Toby Shone for the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners – BASE Bristol
Sunday 31 August 2025
BASE Bristol – Easton – 14 Robertson Road – BS5 6JY
18:00 Food
19:00 Talk
The International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners[1] takes place every year between 23-30 August to commemorate the murders of the Haymarket martyrs in Chicago, 1886, who died for freedom, labour rights and dignity.
This year at BASE we’re holding a fund-raising dinner and letter writing event along with a talk by ex-prisoner Toby Shone, who will speak about the international week, the background of Operation Adream*, his own prison experience and the importance of solidarity, as well as the continual need for revolutionary action.
Two years since Toby was snatched[2] for attending an International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners letter writing event at BASE, he’s back. The Counter Terror Police South-West and the National Security Division couldn’t keep our comrade out of our arms for long.
Too many anarchists and activists remain behind bars. Everywhere the authorities are cracking down against dissent and protest. When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free! Come and sign cards, write
letters and learn about the anti-prison struggle and the cases of imprisoned anarchists.
Don’t forget about those in prison and if you want to take part, you can show up for a solidarity banner photograph (bring a mask!) after the event, so we can send it to prisoners. Vegan food. Fundraiser for the Anarchist Defence Fund[3].
If Solidarity is Terrorism Then We Are All Terrorists!
Fire to the Prisons!

Against Prison Society, Towards Connection
Standing at the exterior of the prison we are greeted with the stark reality of alienation and separation. A wall, a fence, guard towers, surveillance cameras, concrete boxes and steel cages aimed at keeping the accused and “guilty” separate from the rest of society, concepts of rehabilitation and repentance constructed from ideologies of States in order to hold onto and secure their power, to freeze territories with fixed national identities and to punish whatever falls outside of their notions of legality, progress, outside of their morality and capitalist value. The thing is, once we stand outside the walls of the prison we realize that it is a touchable construct. It is a wall, it is concrete, it is material. Those who keep it functioning are living beings… Yes, prisons isolate us, but they isolate us as much as we let them, as soon as we accept them. The walls become fixed and permanent to those of us on the outside as soon as we forget and accept the separation they impose. Those on the inside of the boxes can’t forget, as it is everyday they are confronted with the harsh reality of life on the inside. As long as states exist, there will be prisons, and we will find ourselves within their walls.
It is in the carrying forth of memory that we continue the struggle and life of comrades who have died before us, we carry the ideas and actions of those separated by cages and concrete, creating continuity and connection in the endless acts of resistance that make up a life in search of freedom. Prisons and the struggles that take place within their walls are a constant contribution to this collective memory of resistance.
Wether in the bowels of totalitarian dictatorships or in the heart of “social democracy” where State Violence has a different flavor, States hold no breath trying to put of the fires of subordination and resistance, where even having ideas that pierce it’s constructs can put you in it’s crosshairs, under it’s at times seemingly all pervasive gaze.
We recognize solidarity in its many forms – from connections and friendships to exchanges of ideas and dialog, to shared moments of attack – our comrades remain not isolated, but continuous breathing parts of our struggles.
In solidarity with those sneaking past the border walls, those on the run, in exile, in the deepest isolation chambers of solitary confinement, those who died in action, the criminalized.
Against all prisons.
We choose a life of tension and insubordination in the search of connection.
You cannot bury the force of life!
