Bristol, UK: Transcript of a talk by anarchist comrade Toby Shone at BASE for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, August 2025

Posted on 2026/03/20 by darknights

This is the rough transcript of Toby‘s talk at the solidarity event for anarchist prisoners on August 31st, 2025, at BASE social centre in Easton, Bristol, UK.

Hi everyone

Welcome to BASE social centre, I’m Toby Shone, I’m an anarchist ex-prisoner from the Forest of Dean. I was in the Operation Adream case, which was a co-ordinated international police operation which involved British, Dutch and German police, at least, we could say. I spent three years in various prisons in UK, mostly under 23 hour lockdown in conditions of solitary confinement. I also had 9 months in a secure bail hostel under anti-terrorist restrictions, and 3 months of bail conditions where I had to sign every day at a police station in the Forest.

I want to thank BASE for giving me this opportunity to talk. I’m not going to talk at length. And I want to properly thank all the comrades in Bristol who supported me during my imprisonment. The last time I was here for the International Week of Solidarity event, which was in 2023, I was out on license. As you probably know, the Counter-Terror Police South West had a surveillance team outside, and this event was a major reason cited by the National Security Division for my subsequent abduction back to prison. I have the surveillance report here from the police, so you can see the material on BASE, see the angle where the police took the surveillance photograph from, and see how the Counter-Terror Police South-West regard us. So it gives me great pleasure to be here with you all, to remember our prisoners and write them letters, to eat and exchange with everyone. It has a lot of meaning for me to be here and speak to you.

Athens, Greece: Claim of responsibility for incendiary attacks on cops’ houses by Anarchist Cell ‘Lambros Fountas’

Posted on 2026/03/15 by darknights

We claim responsibility for the incendiary attacks on the homes of the MAT unit (riot police) at 12 Athanaton Street in Sepolia, on February 9, where Andreas Poligenis resides, and at 4-6 Teas Street in Kaisariani on February 24, as well as at the home of a cop from the OPKE unit [Crime Prevention and Suppression Unit] at 18 Deligianni Street in Exarcheia on March 7. We dedicate these actions to the memory of our anarchist comrade and member of Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas, who fell fighting in an armed clash in Dafni on March 10, 2010. Lambros was a exemplary fighter who advanced the multifaceted struggle with social revolution as its goal. He participated in every aspect of anarchist action, from assemblies, marches, and clashes with the forces of repression to revolutionary armed struggle.

The reasons why we carried out the above attacks are self-evident: we are striking back at those who trample on our dreams. To those who rape people at police stations, to those who mercilessly beat up migrants, to those who protect crooks like the “illustrious” Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, who has dismantled the National Health System, to those who crush strikes and marches, such as the one on 10/31 in honor of the anarchist, armed guerrilla Kyriakos Xymiteris. There must be no truce with those who suppress our lives.

We speak the language of social and class liberation, the language of political resistance as a counterpoint to the language of state terrorism, discipline, ruthless exploitation, moral decay, and the dead end of capitalist individualism. We defend direct action and the targeting of those who rule over us and shamelessly contribute to the shaping of this war-torn reality; from the mass media that manufacture fragmented consciousnesses steeped in alienation, bourgeois justice that blindly serves the interests of the economic and political elite, the sweatshops of wage slavery that reek of death, and even the scum of the Greek police with their boundless authoritarian arrogance.

In this current era of fragmentation within social movements, the weakening of the anarchist movement, and widespread apathy and defeatism, we must preserve our political principles intact, make direct confrontation with the enemy our foremost priority until fear changes sides, and externalize our vision for a world of equality, solidarity, freedom, and selflessness.

Rome, Italy: Claim of responsibility for sabotaging the railway line against the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics

Posted on 2026/02/22 by darknights

Claim of responsibility for sabotaging the railway line against the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics (Rome, 13 February 2026)

Rome – Claim of responsibility for sabotaging the railway line against the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics

Fire to the Olympics! No travelling today!

On the night of the 13th February, at various points and railway junctions, we set fire to and damaged the cables along the tracks, effectively blocking several high-speed lines.
These actions are our contribution to the warm welcome and best wishes for this edition of the Winter Olympic Games.

We participated in massive road and port blockades during the months of mobilisation for Palestine, we invaded stations and attacked the police whenever possible. But today we chose to act under the cover of moonlight, in a small group united by affinity and the desire to live up to the slogans shouted in recent months: let’s block everything!
Because we believe that, in addition to participating in large mobilisations and the conflict they can generate, it is necessary to spread autonomous action, so as not to let them be defused, recuperated and directed by the professionals of “militant” politics.

The powers that be are preparing for war, and we anarchists, revolutionaries and conscious individuals would like to do the same. The railway infrastructure is a key hub for the movement of military forces and materials, and the agreement between RFI and Leonardo, aimed at implementing military logistics on the peninsula, is the clearest example of this. Attacking RFI is therefore a concrete act of anti-militarism and a gesture of solidarity with all those who today suffer the atrocities of war and colonialism.

The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics are no exception: rivers of money fueling construction speculation, happy to arm rivers of concrete to build disposable facilities and change the social “intended use” of entire working-class neighbourhoods. A big business that, behind the glossy and prestigious image of the major sporting event, hides hectares of larch forests razed to the ground to make way for ski slopes and mountains irreversibly disfigured by the associated ski lifts.

Finally, this action expresses our anger at the presence at the Games of ICE agents, the anti-immigrant squads now sadly notorious for murders, round-ups, abuse and violence perpetrated against undesirables and internal opponents in the United States, which reminds us that every police force and every fascist group is there to be used against its own population when “reasons of state” require it.

Only a few ingredients are needed to take action against the world of exploitation, oppression and devastation: a little study, caution and determination in equal measure, a few accomplices, a few litres of fuel… and anything is possible! Good luck!

Arson attack on equipment at the Artificial Intelligence Campus construction site at the Equinix data center (Meudon, France, November 23, 2025)

Posted on 2026/02/18 by darknights

During the night between Friday, November 22nd and Saturday, November 23rd, incendiary devices were planted in equipment at the Artificial Intelligence Campus construction site, adjacent to the existing Equinix data center. The construction site is located in the Vélizy-Meudon industrial zone, across from the construction site of the new Thales complex. Equinix customers include Thales, Dassault, Bouygues, Amazon, and many other companies operating in this neighborhood.

These companies are all part of the military-industrial complex that supplies weapons to Israel and is responsible for the genocide of the Palestinians. They all profit from colonial genocide, mass surveillance, and border control. The technologies they develop are tested on the Palestinian population and then sold to countries around the world at trade fairs such as Milipol, held in France from November 18th to 21st. Artificial intelligence is a key element of these technologies, which Israel uses to monitor and carry out genocide against the populations of Gaza and the West Bank. In addition to participating in colonial massacres internationally, France is militarizing its borders and strengthening surveillance and repression in colonized territories and neighborhoods. To try to put an end to all this, we have chosen the path of fire and sabotage.

We attack in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners, whose fate the State of Israel seeks to exacerbate by legalizing executions, which are already the norm in its prisons.

We attack in solidarity with the “Prisoners for Palestine,” currently on hunger strike in British prisons for attacking the factories of the Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit.[Hungerstrike ended at time of publication]

We attack in homage to the anarchist Kyriakos Xymitiris and in solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists Marianna and Dimitra, as well as the other prisoners in the Ampelokipoi case. The flame of struggle will never be extinguished.

We attack in solidarity with those crossing borders and in homage to those who have lost their lives there.

We attack in homage to all those who have died in prison and for the freedom of all prisoners.

Anti-Fascists Occupy Hungarian Consulate in Manchester (UK)

Posted on 2026/02/17 by darknights

Mocskos Fidesz!

Yesterday (14/02/26), a group of anti-fascists answered the call to take action against Viktor Orbán’s regime. Under our banner, they occupied the lobby of the building containing the Hungarian consulate in Manchester – disrupting the building until the police arrived on the scene.

Fidesz has criminalised antifascism, utilised their control over the courts to prosecute who they see fit, used the power of government to tighten their grip on the nation and victimise marginalised communities – all the while, letting degenerate nazis celebrate their equally degenerate forefathers.

Whilst here in the UK we cannot stop this, we stand in solidarity with every vicitim of Orbán’s regime, we stand with the people of Hungary – and we stand united with anti-fascists across the world.

Free Maja T.
Free Gabriele M.
Free Anna M.
Free Hungary.
Free the world.

Anti-fascism banned in Hungary – Protest outside the Hungarian Embassy in London – Saturday 14th February 12pm (UK)

Posted on 2026/02/10 by darknights

💥Alerta💥

When – 12 noon, Saturday 14th February
Where – Hungarian Embassy in London,
35 Eaton Place
Belgravia
SW1X 8BY

The Hungarian government has proscribed “Antifa” as a terrorist organisation, marking all those who oppose fascism as terrorists and placing activists under surveillance. Multiple anti-fascist groups have been banned and the Hungarian government even shut down a Holocaust memorial event where a Holocaust survivor was due to speak.

In a show trial, 25 year old non-binary anti-fascist Maja T. has been sentenced to 8 years in prison. Gabriele M. Has been sentenced to 7 years and Anna M. has been sentenced to 2 years.

In Britain as well Black and Brown youth have been put on trial and sentenced for helping defend their communities from racist attacks during the pogroms of Summer 2024.

Meanwhile on 14th February neo-Nazis are holding a music festival, rally and meeting in Budapest, to pay tribute to Nazis and their collaborators in WW2, which thousands of neo-nazis will travel from around the world to attend. The anti-fascist counter demo has been banned and Hungarian cops will be out hunting anti-fascists gathering to help defend their communities.

Anti-fascists in Hungary have called for an international day of solidarity on 14th February. We will be answering this callout and invite you to gather with us outside the Hungarian Embassy in London.

Fighting fascism is our social responsibility and when states ban fighting fascism it is our social responsibility to all be criminals.

Free Maja T !
Free Gabriele M !
Free Anna M !
Freedom for all political prisoners here in Britain and worldwide. Nobody is free until all of us are free!

“If you want to know what you would have done in the 1930s, during the nazi era, then look at what you are doing now.”

Anti-Fascism has been banned in Hungary

Posted on 2026/01/23 by darknights

We note the recent proscription of the so-called ‘Antifa Ost’ at an international level by the Trump Administration and the increased repression taking place worldwide against the radical left, anarchist and anti-fascist movements.

The Hungarian government made antifascism officialy illegal through legislative means. Antifascist activists are under surveillance, demomstrations are banned. The new legislation makes room for limitless repression.

At the 14th of February, there is going to be an international nazi meeting in Budapest. Nazi rock festival, nazi grand meeting, nazi tour, with several thousands of attendees. The antifascist counter demonstration is banned. Several hundred policeman are going to protect the nazi events and in the meantime, hunt for antifascists.

We ask all antifascists, to protest the Hungarian fascist regime at the 14th of February! Show international solidarity before embassys, consulates or any other sorts of Hungarian state-sponsored facilities!

Down with Orbán’s fascist system!

‐

In September 2025, a Hungarian government decree declared “anti-fascist gathering together” (sic!) to be “terrorist organization.” This means that anti-fascist activity is now prohibited in Hungary. They are not persecuting a specific organization or taking action against specific acts, but rather ordering the persecution of anti-fascism itself.

Italia: Proiezione di “To Kill a War Machine” su Palestine Action (Carrara, 11 gennaio 2026)

Posted on 2026/01/08 - 2026/01/08 by darknights

PROIEZIONE DI “TO KILL A WAR MACHINE” SU PALESTINE ACTION
(CARRARA, 11 GENNAIO 2026)

Proiezione di To Kill a War Machine su Palestine Action
Domenica 11 gennaio 2026

Ore 18:00. Proiezione del documentario To Kill a War Machine (2025) sull’attività di Palestine Action contro l’industria bellica nel Regno Unito.

Il percorso di Palestine Action e lo sciopero della fame attualmente in corso nelle carceri britanniche da parte degli aderenti al collettivo Prisoners for Palestine ci interrogano sulle prospettive e i limiti delle forme di attivismo contemporanee. Mentre gli Stati si attrezzano per la guerra e le condizioni di sopravvivenza qui da noi si fanno sempre più difficili, non è più rimandabile lo sviluppo delle lotte antimilitariste in una prospettiva antiautoritaria e internazionalista.

A seguire aperitivo a buffet.
