Chile: Before the preparation of the trial against Mónica and Francisco

Posted on 2023/03/14 - 2023/03/16 by darknights

The police station of Huechuraba after the explosion

Before the preparation of the trial against Mónica and Francisco

On March 14, 2023 a series of hearings will begin in the so-called preparation for the oral trial against the anarchist comrades Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar. In this instance, which we expect to last a month, it will be decided which evidence will be brought to trial and which will not.

Both are accused of the explosive attack against the Tánica Building in the midst of the revolt (2020), while Francisco is accused of sending explosive packages against former Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpetter and the 54th police station (2019). The prosecution requests 30 years in prison against Monica and 129 against Francisco.

The comrades will be taken from the San Miguel prison and the Rancagua prison to the justice center for the first hearing, from then on, they will face this judicial instance telematically.

In this next step of the judicial process, it is still more necessary than ever to leave aside victimist speeches to open debates on the vindication and legitimacy of political violence in all its scales, not only from the applause in the box but from the concrete support and solidarity to those who face justice for such actions.

Without any room for indifference: Solidarity and complicity with those who attack the powerful and repressors!

Monica and Francisco to the streets!

Chile: Internationalist Call for Solidarity Action with Marcelo Villarroel

Posted on 2023/03/09 by darknights

Internationalist Call for Solidarity Action with Marcelo Villarroel 15 years after his detention and in the context of the permanent campaign for his release to the streets!

On March 15 and in the context of the admirable conviction of comrade Alfredo Cóspito’s struggle in Italian prisons, the preparation of the trial of comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, the anti-authoritarian subversive prisoner Marcelo Villarroel completes 15 years of imprisonment after being arrested in Argentina while fleeing from Chile in clandestinity for the case known as “Security”.

The antagonistic actions to power that the comrade chose as a way of life from a very young age made him a target of the powerful and their media who created a brutal and crude spectacle of persecution after the expropriation of that bank in the center of Santiago/ Chile and the consequent death of cop Moyano in October 2007.

The state kidnapping of Marcelo, which in concrete terms is a life imprisonment is based on the most rotten filth of the dictatorial legacies of Pinochet’s Military Justice even in 2023. Something that seems unthinkable 50 years after the military coup and the beginning of the civil-military dictatorship.

However, this parallel justice, which no one seems to see, hear or mention, is still intolerably in force and this was demonstrated on February 27th at the sentence review hearing held at the 7⁰ Jury of the 7⁰ Guarantee Court in Santiago, in which it was confirmed that Marcelo should be in prison until 2036.

Specifically, Marcelo could have applied for parole in December 2019, but with the modification of DL 321 in January 2019, it applies retroactively to him.

Having an anti-authoritarian comrade in captivity for years under sentences issued by military rulings only demonstrates the shameless trickery of an oligarchy that seeks to exterminate by means of prison any obstacle that interrupts the expansion of its domination.

15 years after Marcelo’s kidnapping, we call on all those who are like-minded, compañeros, individuals, spaces and collectives that build autonomous and anarchic subversive antagonism from the perspective of internationalism to a week of action and agitation in solidarity with the comrade from Monday the 13th to Monday the 20th of March for the Annulment of the of the Sentences of the Military Justice of Pinochet and for his immediate release to the street.

To use all the imagination from the insurrectionary complicity.

For the annulment of the sentences of the military justice now!

For the end of the prison society!

Subversive, anarchist, anti-speciesist and Mapuche prisoners out of the prisons now!

As long as there is misery there will be rebellion!!!

Hambach Forest, Germany: Four hunting towers destroyed in solidarity with the prisoners of the Susaron case in Chile

Posted on 2023/03/01 by darknights

Some days ago, during a cold night in the forest, we went for have fun and attack. We had a lot of rage against those who are killing non human animals near the forest, perpetrating the human supremacy. So we went to destroy their fuckin structures, 4 of them. Just a pair of saws were enough to cut them and throw them to the ground. In one of the towers, we found food for non humans (they use it for attract them and kill them) so we took it and spread it in a place far from it in the middle of the forest.

In our minds were the prisoners of the Susaron case in Chile, anarconihilists and antispeciesists, accused of the arson of a meat packaging plant. We claim this action in solidarity with them.

THE NIGHT IS OURS, LETS CONTINUE THE ATTACK
SPREAD THE CHAOS

Chile: Text from San Miguel prison in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

Every day that Alfredo Cospito continues his hunger strike to stop the torturous regime of 41bis, is another day in which he shows us how strong his convictions are and how far he is willing to take his coherence. Every day that Alfredo spends on hunger strike, more and more indomitable people around the world take action in solidarity with him. As anti-authoritarians kidnapped by the Chilean State, with these letters we intend to make a small gesture of solidarity with him and a call for solidarity actions to continue to multiply. Day by day we become aware of attacks, radio broadcasts, meetings, etc. that in their essence seek to pressure and/or publicize Alfredo’s situation, it is crucial for him that we correspond to his struggle with the same integrity that he embraces and faces it.

Our hands and our hearts are concerned about the current repressive scenario that Alfredo is living, especially knowing that every day that passes is more and more critical for him. We are filled with rage, hatred and frustration to know that these words will not be read by our comrade, but we are comforted to know that perhaps these letters will be transformed into action in other restless hands. Actions absolutely necessary before the hearing that the comrade will have to face on February 24, where his permanence or not in the 41bis regime will be decided. Alfredo will never be alone. Despite the miles and walls that separate us, our hearts are intertwined in the complicity of action and the idea.
Let the night light up in solidarity with Alfredo!
An end to 41 bis and to all exceptional regimes of isolation!

Athens, Greece: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INCENDIARY ATTACK ON A CAR DEALERSHIP by Carnivalists of fire

Athens: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INCENDIARY ATTACK ON A CAR DEALERSHIP

“Fortune knows that we defy it, and the more it beats us, the more we despise it.” William Shakespeare

In a few months, as we all know, the four-year rule of new democracy with Kyriakos Mitsotakis as prime minister will come to its “happy” end. Before the government even started, it promised many times that (like another Papadopoulos (dictator leader on 70s) it would ”crack down on anarchy” thus declaring open war on all anarchist-revolutionary-rebellious parts of society.

After 4 years of evictions of squats, bans on strikes and marches, State murders, extreme repression and imprisonment of innocent but proudly ‘guilty’ comrades, we are still here. Although we have had some resounding disappointments and defeats (let us not hide behind our finger) we proudly declare that the anarchist revolutionary movement has not fallen and will never fall without a fight. And that is the only way we ought to look to the continuation of our struggle. For unlike theirs our way has no end. Our road is eternal, etched with the blood of those who sacrificed for Anarchy and Freedom and carved in the footsteps of fire.

That is why we are taking responsibility for the incendiary attack on a car dealership in Kallithea at dawn on 12/2, which, make no mistake, was not for extortion or for blackmail, as the media declared the next day, but as a small blow to the image of normality, security and social peace that prevails in Greek society. We dedicate this attack to all our comrades who, unrepentantly and without fear, still look the enemy in the eye and take it on. Because the ruins of a ‘beautiful’ delegation that tries to cover up the vulgarity of society will always fill us with satisfaction.

Vulgarity that takes its cruelest form inside the prisons in an attempt to physically and mentally dehumanise the prisoners and cut them off from the rest of society, reinforcing the already existing social apathy. But make no mistake! The spirit is not flattened and the voices are not silenced. A prime example is the struggle of the prisoners inside Greek prisons that has been going on for months against the new Penitentiary Law and continues despite the vindictive transfers. We stand proudly by your side!

“Thy wild dogs want liberty; they bark for joy in their cellar when thy spirit endeavoureth to open all prison doors.” Nietzsche

Chile: Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners Begin Fast in Solidarity With Alfredo Cospito, 104 Days on Hunger Strike January 31, 2023

For Alfredo Cospito:

A loud war cry!!!
A call for internationalist solidarity!
A clear call to action!!!

In the course of the mobilizations in solidarity with the hunger strike of Italian anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, which has been going on for 104 days, today, January 31, anarchist and subversive prisoners held in the La Gonzalina-Rancagua Prison are beginning a solidarity fast. This is a minimal gesture of complicity in the face of such a transcendental and decisive struggle that the comrade is carrying out to end the isolation the Italian State has subjected him to and against his recent life sentence.

The situation is extremely urgent and there is no room for moments of waiting and reflection that only strengthen apathy and inaction.

Nor is it the time to be passive spectators while the Italian State lets Alfredo die, in one of the clearest demonstrations of authoritarian brutality.

Are we going to wait for our comrade to die before deciding to act?

Santiago, Chile: Gathering outside the Embassy of Italy

Posted on 2023/02/08 by darknights

After more than 100 days of hunger strike of comrade Alfredo Cospito against the brutal isolation regime of 41 bis in Italian prisons, on February 3, 2023 about fifty people gathered in a rally outside the Italian embassy to make palpable the internationalist solidarity.
From Chilean prisons anarchist and subversive prisoners began on January 31 a hunger strike in solidarity with Alfredo’s strike. In this context, despite the heavy police presence, which included water cannons and gas, they managed to break through the walls guarding the representatives of the Italian government, the same government that is currently plotting Alfredo’s assassination behind bars.
Banners, pamphlets, stickers, scratches and shouts flooded the streets around the Italian embassy, and then headed towards the Chilean-Italian cultural institute a few blocks away.
Alfredo out of 41 bis!
Stop the murder of Alfredo by the Italian State!
Subversive prisoners and anarchists to the streets!

$hile: Urgent words in the face of an extinguishing flame. Written by Mónica Caballero in response to Alfredo Cospito’s hunger strike.

Posted on 2023/02/08 by darknights

I have had the pleasure of reading the words of comrades from different territories, who showed their fervent solidarity with the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito, to get out of the torture regime of 41 bis. In these lands a group of subversive, anarchist, anti-authoritarian, anti-speciesist and nihilist prisoners also expressed our unconditional solidarity with the comrade. To fraternize with a comrade as valuable as Alfredo, and even more so in the difficult moment he is going through, is a necessity for those of us who position ourselves as negators and antagonists to the current life governed by authority. Sending words of solidarity from prison to a like-minded comrade is never too much.

In my case, when I have received words of solidarity from a comrade while imprisoned, I have always valued and treasured them as something very precious. But at this moment comrade Alfredo Cospito needs words to be transformed into actions, to attack, coerce, subvert, manipulate, threaten, etc. To all those who have the power to change his prison situation and/or who sustain the 41 bis regime.

Alfredo’s situation is no longer preoccupying and has become urgent. The matter is simple, if Cospito’s request is not granted, he will die and there are not too many days left if he continues his hunger strike.

To make the decision and carry out a mobilization such as a hunger strike, has many difficulties, your struggle is in multiple scenarios, on the one hand you have a whole repressive and judicial framework with several tools that bet on dissuading you to stop the strike, on the other hand there is your own survival instinct, your own body!
