For Mutual Aid & Solidarity
Every modern war begins in a laboratory
During the night of 7–8 April, six incendiary devices were placed on four heavy goods vehicles and on the control units of two cranes within the construction site for a technology hub at the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies. It is impossible to ascertain the actual damage caused given the media’s complete silence on the matter; certainly, damage was done, as columns of smoke could be seen rising in the distance. Freedom for Alfredo Cospito and for all prisoners of the social war.
PRIMO MAGGIO 2026
al Circolo Culturale Anarchico “G. Fiaschi”
via Ulivi 8/B, Carrara
Il Primo Maggio ha da tempo perso il carattere di rottura dei tempi andati, per vestirsi della ritualità delle manifestazioni di testimonianza proprie di questi tempi moderni. Lo stesso discorso potrebbe farsi per svariati altri nostri tradizionali momenti di lotta. Eppure l’odierna realtà sociale – tra incessanti stragi del lavoro e un crescente clima bellicista in cui l’assuefazione all’orrore è a portata di chiunque – necessita oggi come ieri dello scatenamento di quelle cattive passioni di cui parlava Bakunin. Perché solo la forza propulsiva e liberatrice di un’idea e di una pratica rivoluzionaria coerente può dare filo da torcere ai padroni della guerra e dello sfruttamento.

Part II: Two more video clips for worldwide destructive anarchy. ‘Armed Joy’ + ‘Black International’. First clip narration is from Alfredo M. Bonanno‘s seminal Armed Joy. One of the most important pamphlets of the late 20th Century, for which Alfredo was imprisoned in Italy. The book has been translated into many languages and continues to circulate. The message of the book is as vitally urgent today as it was when it was first published. Second clip honours our slain anarchist comrades and our internationalist tendency of attack. This civilization will be ruins…
For practical black anarchy.
“THE ROSES, WHERE ARE THE ROSES?”
Chronicles and reflections on expressions of affection for Sara and Sandro, and on the anti-Mafia movement as a tool for counter-insurgency
During the night of Thursday 19th to Friday 20th March, a loud bang shook the neighbourhoods of eastern Rome near the Parco degli Acquedotti; inside the park, an explosion caused part of an abandoned farmhouse to collapse. The explosion and the collapse killed two of our comrades, Sara and Sandro. Their unwavering consistency between idea and action led them to take risks and cross the line between life and death.
Following this tragic event, the state attempted to take possession of their bodies, with the aim of rewriting their history; of concealing the love, respect and fraternity that surrounded them; of erasing their ideas and of erasing the proof that it is possible to act against this system.
It is possible that their bodies were located and identified in the hours immediately following the explosion, but the news of their deaths was kept hidden for a long time and only released in the afternoon via the mass media, through which everyone, including their families, learned of the tragic event. The State was thus able to decide how to tell this story, how to describe the two comrades, attempting to impose its own narrative on everyone and manage the affair according to its own ends.
If one of the aims they had set themselves was to secure a dissociation from our comrades and their disavowal, this could never have happened for the simple reason that these wretched loopholes never belonged to us.
Immediately, numerous statements were issued clarifying that Sara and Sandro are our comrades, comrades who were known, respected and loved, comrades who fell in action.
At this point, the state attempted to seize their bodies, holding them for days, thereby venting a belated vengeance against those prey who had never been captured and had now escaped forever from the courts and prisons.
Their bodies were suddenly released, and the families were forced to bury them immediately. This haste was intended to make it difficult for those who wished to pay their last respects, to make the two comrades appear as isolated and abandoned individuals, and to try to prevent this farewell from becoming an occasion for public commemoration of their figures, or for the vindication of their ideas and deeds.

Contributions from Jasul, Adit and Eat for the solidarity infonight in Bristol and London, UK, about the repression after the uprising across the Indonesian archipelago. The contribution can be translated and used for all solidarity events that take place that aim to raise awareness and solidarity about the Chaos Star case and the broader reality.
From Jasul and Adit.
Hello comrades, warm greetings from Bandung to Bristol.
We introduce ourselves as prisoners from what is known as the “Chaos Star.” This correspondence carries fragments of memory from years marked by chaos, surveillance, and arrests. We send this message from behind the bars of a prison in—so called—Indonesia. We are currently serving sentences related to the August 2025 unrest, the pipe bomb attack on a police post in December 2024, and the destruction of Bank Hana during the anti–TNI Bill protests in March and May Day 2025.
The unrest last August became the largest manhunt against activists and anarchists since 1998. This year, 703 political prisoners—although we reject that label—are still undergoing legal processes or are detained. We prefer to be called Anarchist Prisoners rather than Political Prisoners. This is an issue we want to critique. The label “political prisoner” places us within certain relations of power: we are framed as symbols of resistance, victims or survivors of a regime, or tools for legitimizing particular political agendas. Instead, we are Anarchist Prisoners. We reject the very foundation of politics itself. Our emphasis is on the autonomy of the subject and individual disobedience, without serving any project or representation tied to political agendas. By using the label Anarchist Prisoners, we assert a distance from the language of power and maintain a position outside the political field that seeks to regulate, define, and justify everything.

“I am an anarchist. As an anarchist, I am an enemy of this State as of any other State”,
Sara Ardizzone, Statement in the Operation Sibilla trial to the judge.
20.3.26: Two anarchist comrades, Alessandro Mercogliano and Sara Ardizzone, died yesterday in Rome apparently due to handling and managing explosives in a cottage in the Acquedotti park area. So far there is only mainstream news with the terror lust of the security services where they speculate like ghouls on the lives on the comrades. Postulating theories which mention the usual phrases like “known to the authorities” and casually blame the circle of “Cospito’s group”. It can surely be predicted that there will be a further scavenge by the media and police in tandem at the behest of the Meloni regime, for the “friends and accomplices” of our slain comrades. Alessandro Marcogliano had previous been convicted and sentenced to five years in prison in 2016, accused of participation in the armed group FAI-FRI.
Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the fallen comrades, never a moment of peace for the enemy. Our lives burn with the passion of a thousand suns.
Death to the State
Long live Anarchy
Mitsotakis is the Prime Minister of Greece and, along with his party, New Democracy, bears responsibility for the authoritarian transformation of this southeastern pillar of the EU and NATO.
Greece is on the front lines of the war on migration (Pylos massacre, 1), tramples over corpses as a pioneer of neoliberalism and corruption (Tempi train “accident,” 2), has an impressive track record of police killings (3) and also deserves to be held accountable for the imprisonment of comrades in the Ambelokipi case.
Impairing this regime’s ability to act can save many lives. The personnel who, on behalf of the Greek government, commit numerous murders, acts of torture, arrests, and pushbacks, require a constant supply of substantial financial resources and social legitimacy. These resources must be targeted.
The police cooperation agreement reached in December shows the direction New Democracy is heading. The following quote is not satire:
“Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chryssochoidis and China’s Public Security Minister Wang Xiaohong signed a police cooperation agreement Tuesday in Athens, strengthening ties between the two countries on key security issues. According to a ministry statement, the agreement focuses on combating organized and financial crimes, drug trafficking and managing illegal migration. It also includes provisions for information sharing, technical expertise and officer training to enhance operational capabilities.
Chryssochoidis proposed forming a coordinating committee to prioritize actions against organized crime, aiming to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of both countries’ police services.
The meeting at the Greek ministry was attended by senior officials from China’s Public Security Ministry, China’s ambassador to Greece, the head of the Hellenic Police, and high-ranking Greek police officials, as well as the minister’s diplomatic advisor.
Both sides reaffirmed strong cooperation between Greece and China, emphasizing their shared commitment to addressing common security challenges and promoting social stability.“

What “social stability” in the Chinese model means for Mitsotakis is evident in the increasing permanent surveillance of several city districts by drones and the crackdown on universities, where any opposition is to be stifled in order to make them compliant as think tanks of the old elites. In drone development, Greek universities are collaborating with ELTA Systems of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), despite student resistance.(4) Continue reading “Germany: Switch off the Mitsotakis regime!”
10.3.26 : On February 26th, the trial began for another section of the comrades of the Chaos Star Case (Adit, Opal, Pem, Herdi and Hugo [informant]). This case is about a pipe bomb that exploded which destroyed a police post in Gentong, Tasikmalaya Regency in December 2024. The action was claimed by the Free Association of Autonomous Fires. The communique can be found in the Blessed Is The Flame chronicle and was also published on Dark Nights. The action was declared in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, Nikos Romanos and all anarchist prisoners.
The comrades are being threatened with up to 25 years in prison. The anti-terrorist unit, Densus 88, tortured the comrades badly, including trying to damage their sight. The prosecutors maintain they have everything for a conviction, as well as the words of a snitch, Hugo. On early February 15 police officers from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the West Java Regional Police Headquarters went to Kebon Waru prison because Hugo reported that there was a threat to his life. These are the police that paid him as he coldly smoked cigarettes during the torture of our comrades and gave his “evidence”. All the comrades remain imprisoned in Kebon Waru.
On March 8th, we received the latest information that our comrade Ainun K “Komar” (a Chaos Star prisoner) was supposed to be released from the detention center in Bandung, but was immediately re-arrested by the Surabaya City Police (Polrestabes Surabaya) on suspicion of incitement through the Instagram account @blackbloczone. This new kidnapping comes as Komar has already been imprisoned for five months on the same charge in West Java. The Surabaya police are using the new laws which require less evidence and judicial process to revenge our comrade. Many of the imprisoned comrades are due for release but the tactics of the police bastards have to be confronted. What is particulary ridiculous is the accusation against Komar, is that he is responsible for the mass insurrection which took place in Surabaya, which completely humiliated the police and lead to their facilities being widespread destroyed. Release Komar now!

Fuori Alfredo dal 41 bis
Iniziative a Carrara e a Pisa, 14 e 18 marzo 2026
Ai servi del potere dico una cosa sola: potete tenermi in galera per il resto della vita ma rassegnatevi, non riuscirete a togliermi la coerenza e il rispetto di me stesso, né tanto meno il piacere e la voglia di combattervi.
Alfredo Cospito, 2021
Il 41 bis impiegato contro i rivoluzionari è una tra le principali espressioni dell’offensiva repressiva avviata dagli ultimi governi. Alfredo Cospito, anarchico finito in carcere nel 2012 per aver colpito uno dei responsabili del disastro nucleare che verrà, dopo quasi 10 anni veniva trasferito in regime di 41 bis e al contempo messo a rischio di una condanna all’ergastolo ostativo. La nuova inquisizione di Stato desiderava un annientamento totale.
Tuttavia, in particolare dopo l’inizio di un lunghissimo sciopero della fame da parte di Alfredo, si è sviluppato un grande movimento di solidarietà internazionale, che ha infranto la coltre di silenzio che vigeva su un regime detentivo prima di allora inviolabile e ostacolato la macchina della repressione.
Risale allo scorso anno la sentenza di non luogo a procedere nei confronti di una decina di anarchici, tra cui Alfredo Cospito, inquisiti a Perugia per la pubblicazione di un giornale anarchico rivoluzionario. Un’inchiesta che era stata un importante sostegno al trasferimento in 41 bis.
A prescindere da condanne e assoluzioni, sappiamo bene come il ministero della galera sia capace di scovare sempre nuove motivazioni per mantenere Alfredo in quella tomba per vivi. Così come sappiamo quanto il 41 bis sia un perno fondamentale nel sistema carcerario. Lo vediamo oggi con la riorganizzazione del regime detentivo al fine di concentrare una consistente parte dei detenuti in alcune carceri in Sardegna.
Con l’approssimarsi della scadenza dei primi quattro anni di applicazione di questo regime nei confronti di Alfredo, torniamo in piazza contro il 41 bis.
Nell’attuale contesto di guerra la tortura bianca del 41 bis è un monito contro quanti potrebbero decidere di farla finita con lo Stato e il capitalismo. Contro tutti i padroni della guerra, dello sfruttamento e delle tecno-scienze, continueremo sempre a sostenere le ragioni dell’azione diretta e rivoluzionaria.
