Greece/Italy: News and update on the situation of our comrade Dayvid Ceccarelli

Posted on 2022/10/01 - 2022/10/01 by darknights

News extracted from the biweekly internationalist anarchist “Bezmotivny“, no. 14

On June 29, in Athens, Dayvid was arrested. He had been sentenced to 6 years for the clashes of October 15, 2011 in Rome by the Supreme Court last May 25.

For him the European Arrest Warrant has been requested immediately after the sentence.

He is currently detained in the prison of Korydallos. On July 13 he will have the first hearing before the Greek court for the validation of the EAW.

***

The hearing regarding the EAW against Dayvid was held today. The decision of the court has been postponed for about forty days to allow the translation of all the documents.

In the meantime, Dayvid remains in Korydallos prison.

The coordinates for a solidarity fund for legal and living expenses will be announced soon.

Freedom for all!

***

On August 18, the Greek court has expressed itself accepting the request for the execution of the European arrest warrant issued by the Italian state for Dayvid, anarchist prisoner, sentenced to 6 years in prison by the Supreme Court last May 25 with the accusation of devastation and looting for the clashes of October 15, 2011 in Rome.

His transfer to an Italian prison should take place in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, a fund has been set up to raise funds in solidarity with Dayvid.

The payments are made in a postepay in the name of:

Gaia Taino
number 5333 1711 6663 2741
Iban IT38M3608105138230559830588

Dayvid Free.
All Free.
Fire to the Prisons.

Note:
The condemnation of the comrade is for the riots that happened in Rome on October 15, 2011. A large demonstration – about 300 thousand people – organized by the “disobedient “* and other left-wing groups to give life to a kind of movement of the “indignant “** also in Italy. The clashes between several thousands of people and the forces of order have decided differently. Now some protesters arrested then have been convicted for “devastation and looting”.

* also called ‘tutte bianche’. In their component there are some social centers of ex-worker autonomy tendency and that in the last decades have positioned themselves in and for the institutional politics. In fact their maximum exponents have presented themselves indistinctly as the Green Party, the Communist Refoundation Party, etc.

** born in the Spanish state and taking some anarchist ideas/practices such as assembly, non-hierarchy, etc., they were quickly taken, by the various groups that composed it, to Leninist and pro-institutional positions. Deriving into yet another party.

France: A letter from Ivan, from Villepinte Prison

Posted on 2022/09/28 by darknights

Below is a text by anarchist Ivan Alocco, who was arrested on June 11 and is currently imprisoned in Villepinte Prison, France.
Break the isolation! For immediate revolutionary solidarity with Ivan and all imprisoned anarchists!

–

I am writing to share some thoughts and give some news.
I would like to begin with something that illustrates well the methods of the judicial system.
A few days after my arrest, the judge who instructed the investigation, Stéphanie Lahaye, sent two cops from SDAT [the Anti-Terrorism Sub-Directorate of the Judicial Police] (including the judicial police officer “RIO 1237232” – like machines, they have numbers instead of names) to interrogate my daughter and her mother. Obeying his orders, the procedures of state justice, they tried to pressure a 12-year-old girl. After making her wait in the courtyard of the local gendarmerie barracks during her mother’s interrogation, they allegedly wanted to interrogate her alone. Evidently, her mother refused to leave her.
An ordinary, mundane procedure, a necessary act to establish the truth, according to judges and cops. A way, in my opinion, of trying to spread fear. A warning to my loved ones and to everyone, because, in the inquisitive logic of Justice, people who stay or stand by an anarchist accused of direct action are suspect and must be bothered.

This is somewhat the same logic that was used against me. When the same judicial police officer, during interrogations while I was under arrest, asked me, she reproached me for bringing my support to imprisoned anarchists, in France and in other countries. Of writing to them and occasionally sending them some money. Of course, I often wrote to numerous imprisoned compas and did my best to express my solidarity with them. Because they are anarchists and also because I am convinced of the rightness and necessity of the actions some of them are accused of.
I think solidarity, by any means necessary, with compas affected by repression is fundamental. To avoid openly solidarizing with them, for fear that repression will spread, would be to enter the game of Justice, to accept its logic. A logic that would make us retreat further and further, until we abandon, or almost abandon, the imprisoned revolutionaries. Continue reading “France: A letter from Ivan, from Villepinte Prison” →

Rome, Italy: Interruption of a democratic kermesse in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2022/09/25 by darknights

On the evening of September 20, in Rome, we interrupted a democratic kermesse that took place at the Troisi cinema. The evening’s special guests were the critical philosopher Noam Chomsky and the committed filmmaker Ken Loach. We stormed in with a banner that read ‘Against every prison. 41 bis = torture. Freedom for Alfredo’, threw leaflets and read the following text.

ALFREDO OUT FROM 41 BIS
FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE

Since May 5, our comrade Alfredo Cospito has been imprisoned under the 41 bis regime.

The 41 bis is a regime of institutionalised torture, created to isolate, silence and annihilate the prisoner, thus trying to bring him to collaboration with justice. We do not want to demand more comfortable cages, nor do we want to be victims. We are against all prisons, we would like to see them burn. We are not surprised or outraged, we know very well that all this happens within a democratic regime. Democracy is based on the annihilation of the internal and external enemy. This is not a novelty linked to the advent of the so-called pandemic, this mechanism is inherent to representative democracy which, because it provides for representatives, necessarily creates an unbridgeable gap with the represented. Quite simply, for the past two years, we think that democratic regimes have dropped their masks: repression for all, permanent states of emergency, compulsory vaccination, green passes, persecution of those who do not play by the rules, rationing, etc. The situation is self-evident.

The state is giving us a warning: those who spread anarchist and revolutionary practices and ideas are buried alive. Examples of this are the recent convictions of Juan Sorroche (28 years in prison for an attack on a Lega Nord headquarters) and Anna Beniamino (sentenced together with Alfredo for political massacre, a sentence of life imprisonment). The repressive tightening we are experiencing cannot go unnoticed, we cannot get bogged down in wait-and-see. These are hard times, but better times will not come if we do not act now.

That is why it is important to pretend for Alfredo’s removal from 41 bis with all our strength, to spread anarchist ideas and to claim the practices for which he was convicted, practices that have always been part of the anarchist movement.

To the democrats and false critics we have nothing to say… we just wanted to spoil your party.

FREEDOM FOR THE PROSECUTED ANARCHISTS
DEATH TO THE STATE, LONG LIVE ANARCHY

Barcelona, Spain: Responsibility Claim for the Placement of Two Explosive Devices EN/ES

Posted on 2022/09/25 by darknights

Responsibility Claim for the Placement of Two Explosive Devices

One September night we decided to illuminate the darkness placing two incendiary devices on a 5G relay antenna in Barcelona in the vicinity of Montjuïc park.

This action is one more contribution to the struggle against domination.

We send a warm hug to Toby Shone, Boris, Ivan and everyone who keeps anarchy alive.

La Nemesi: a new website in support of practices of attack and international revolutionary solidarity EN/IT

Posted on 2022/09/25 - 2022/09/25 by darknights

La Nemesi: a new website in support of practices of attack and international revolutionary solidarity

La Nemesi is a website run by anarchists and dedicated to publishing texts about the conflict against the state, capital and all authority. With the opening of this website we intend to go beyond the characteristics of so-called counter-information, giving more space to texts and contributions that more often than not, in the counter-information spaces that populate the virtual world, end up being buried in the vagueness generated by the telematic tool.

La Nemesi was thus created with the aim of publishing and spreading claim or informative texts concerning actions and sabotage, as well as articles, reports and correspondences from uprisings and insurrections all over the world. It is a kind of ‘bulletin’ of the anarchist revolutionary struggle and more generally of the social war waged by the oppressed.

Equally space will be dedicated to the publication of statements and documents written by anarchists imprisoned in state prisons, as well as updates on the prison situation of comrades, mobilisations and initiatives in solidarity, past, present and future anti-anarchist repressive operations, and in general the repression against the movement.

In addition to this, editorial news (recently published papers, magazines, sheets, bulletins, books, pamphlets, etc.) and occasional articles or extracts of texts from more or less recent publications will be included. Unlike the other articles, these latter insertions will be dictated by the good and bad taste of those who manage the website.

Trento, Italy: ‘War on war’. Incendiary attack against vehicles at the military housing construction site (August 3, 2022)

Posted on 2022/09/25 by darknights

Trento, night of August 2 to 3. Arson attack against the machinery on the construction site of new housing for the military in the south of the city of Trento. A tag “War on war” was left on the spot. Against the war between states, against the state and its war on those who still raise their heads, solidarity with Juan, Alfredo and Anna.

France: Numerous direct actions in solidarity with anarchist comrade Boris

Toulouse: Scopelec vehicle on fire in solidarity with Boris

This world is becoming more and more unbreathable every day. The techno-industrial system has a lot to do with it. In order not to be suffocated, on the night of September 12 to 13, we chose to attack. Under the gaze of the crows and the moon, we burned a Scopelec van.

At the moment of writing this communiqué, our thoughts flew to Boris who, after being locked up in state cages, continues to suffer repression by the judicial and medical authorities. The defenders of these institutions are seeking to deprive him of his autonomy in order to punish him for burning down cell towers and more generally for his hostility to their world.

If we want to stand in solidarity with people who are attacking domination, we also want to bear in mind that “their world” runs through us and that the struggle against gender oppression cannot be relegated to second place in our actions or our relationships.

Solidarity with the anarchist prisoners!

Toulouse: Action against the ZFE, in solidarity with Boris

In the night of 5 to 6 September, a charging point for electric cars was set fire to in the sept derniers area in Toulouse.

A nuclear shower has caused new mushrooms to spring up all over the metropolises, and Toulouse is going all out. Neither economic reasons nor the so-called “ecological” transition can justify either the social carnage or the destruction of the air and water.
Let the markets dry up instead of the rivers, let the birds sing and let the governance experts finally shut up.

Italy: Text from anarchist comrade Davide Delogu

Posted on 2022/09/18 - 2022/09/18 by darknights

We report what Davide has communicated to us in recent days.

“Given the difficulties and misunderstanding that there have been, and which have led to a delay in these words of mine, I reiterate my closeness and unconditional solidarity with fellow anarchist Alfredo Cospito subjected to 41 bis. I also want to send my unconditional solidarity to the comrades in Pozzuoli recently affected by the repression.

We always move forward!”

To write to the comrade:

DAVIDE DELOGU
C.C. Nuovo Complesso
Contrada Cocari
89900 Vibo Valentia. Italia.

Source: Contra Info

DN: Davide is an anarchist from Sardinia. He was arrested in 2010 and sentenced to 18 years in prison on charges of theft and attempted homicide allegedly of someone who was trying to stop him from leaving the scene of a robbery. He has made numerous prison escape attempts and was also involved in a riot at Buoncammino prison in 2013. Because of his history of prison rebellion, he was most of the time held in solitary confinement, with strong restrictions on incoming mail, books, and political material. In a letter from 9th March 2018, Davide says he is no longer in solitary confinement. He’s in a unit with other prisoners and in a cell alone. His mail is still under censorship. Books and other material are not being delivered. In his time in prison he has shown solidarity to numerous anarchist comrades in Italy.

Cochabamba, Bolivia: Claim of arson attack against patrol car of the Fuerza Especial de Lucha Contra la Violencia (Special Force to Fight against Violence)

Posted on 2022/09/18 by darknights

In the early morning of September 12, at 2:40 a.m., we placed an incendiary device composed of four half-liter plastic bottles with gasoline, tied with adhesive tape, which were set on fire by means of a wick that we assembled with 5 matches and 3 incenses tied with rubber bands.

We placed this rudimentary device behind one of the front wheels to ensure that the main damage was in the engine area.

Although all of their cars are incendiary, the choice of a Special Anti-Violence Force van is not random. There is no exception, every police force is the enemy and we don’t buy their song and dance about fighting against gender violence. The patriarchy will fall when the last stone of this prison society falls. We abhor their gendered capitalism. We abhor its State spawn forced on unfathomable differences to satisfy the needs of post-colonial oligarchies. We do not demand anything from the institutions, we do not want any police in our neighborhoods and communities with the story of women’s security. You, murderous cops, are the phallus (now scorched) of patriarchy!

We had a lot of fun imagining how you tried to put out the fire with your little buckets, you lackeys!

This action is for María Fernanda murdered by the police in the EPI of Chasquipampa in 2021, as well as for all those raped and murdered by this enemy institution. We do not want reforms of the police, we want its destruction! We do not demand the judiciary or its ministries, we want to see them burn! We invite you to set fire to their vans with this simple system that we have proven to be effective. It is easy and fun.
