Russia: Solidarity Zone – a new initiative to support anti-war prisoners

Posted on 2022/09/28 - 2022/09/28 by darknights

Solidarity Zone is a new initiative, established by anti-authoritarian activists. Anarchist Black Cross Moscow is cooperating with the new initiative, and we encourage everyone to support it.

Solidarity Zone is a horizontal initiative supporting those persecuted for anti-war actions. We came together in the spring of 2022 to help those left without attention by human rights organizations.

Everyone is worthy of defense and solidarity. And we stand in solidarity with people who have spoken out in word and deed against state violence. We are against the existence of prisons, states and war — for self-organization, equality and the abolition of oppression.

We are ready to support those who speak out against war and resist militarism, with the exception of people who practice discrimination on national, gender, social and other grounds. At the same time, our project team consists of only a few people, and we do not have enough resources, so we are currently working on a small number of cases.

Right now we are providing support to:

Anton Zhuchkov
Vladimir Sergeev
Vladimir Zolotarev
Igor Paskar

We would like to point out that we don’t pay any fines or compensation for damages caused to the state. We also do not help people who voluntarily testify against others. Pleading or not pleading guilty is not a limiting factor.

Our objectives are:
-Establish and maintain contact with detainees and their loved ones;
-Find lawyers whom we trust;
-Arrange parcels or packages for prisoners;
-Share information about the cases and addresses for letters with the consent of those who are persecuted.

You can share information about prisoners who need support by writing to us. You can also direct your questions about current cases that our initiative is already working on. E-mail: solidarity_zone@riseup.net

We have no permanent source of funding and do not get paid, so the support is being provided thanks to your donations. We encourage you to support our project financially, if you are in a position to do so.

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

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.

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.

Updates on rebel prisoner Andreas Krebs

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

Italy: Time is running out. Andreas Krebs must be transferred to Germany immediatly

The transfer procedure to Germany is underway after the last instance sentence against him in Italy became final on May 6, 2022. Andreas Krebs can thus serve the remainder of his sentence in Germany. However, the translation of the necessary documents and the calculation of the sentence equivalence and the length of the sentence will take more months.

However, Andreas K.’s cancer does not give him much time, so it is urgent to speed up the bureaucratic procedures for the transfer considerably.

After the final verdict, he was transferred from the infirmary of the Secondigliano prison to the normal prison, with even worse medical care than before. He is now in solitary confinement in a ventilated pit that is barely the size of a room. The transfer was justified because Andreas Krebs allegedly refused medical treatment in a hospital.

Andreas, for his part, complains that he should have been transferred to a psychiatric ward and demanded his immediate return to prison.

From Coast to Coast: Open Letter by Anarchist Prisoner Toby Shone

Posted on 2022/09/11 by darknights

I’ve previously written about the need to recreate an Atlantic bridge, based on international revolutionary solidarity and reciprocal knowledge, that moves towards affinity and direct action in support of our imprisoned comrades. Since then, I was recently visited by a comrade from Anarchist Black Cross Philadelphia here at the G4S facility in which I’m held. G4S is originally an American company, Wackenhut, which has pioneered the private prison and security industry all over the world. As part of our discussion between the comrade from ABC Philadelphia and myself, we spoke of the need to prevent our groups and commons becoming inward-looking and closing in on themselves in microscopic scenes and myopia. The anglophone world is particularly susceptible to this trend, although it is not solely confined to English-speaking territories. How can we translate rhetoric into practical activity? Words and deeds must coincide, and that is what?

For too long, a kind of one-way discourse has been in effect, breached by too few valiant individuals and groups. We can speak of a loss of solidarity flowing across the Atlantic between north and south, east and west. Without wanting to advocate any kind of anarcho-tourism or the colonial approach of the wholesale export-import political programs of the activist left, I’m in favor of strengthening our international networks in the face of an increased technocratic authoritarianism. To remain locked up in our local areas without considering the struggles elsewhere is self-defeating, as repressive operations seek to confine us and stem our anarchic contagion specifically to promote sterility. Can we renew an Atlantic bridge that connects our tendencies, that connects the uprisings in the North American metropolises to those in Europe, Latin America and Asia? Can we join together the struggles of the long-term COINTELPRO prisoners with those elsewhere in the global prison industrial complex?

Chile: Words of anarchist & subversive prisoners for the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners

Posted on 2022/09/11 - 2022/09/11 by darknights

A complicit greeting. Francisco Solar’s words for the Week of Solidarity with the Anarchist Prisoners

Revolutionary, anarchic solidarity is a mutual relationship that requires in an indispensable way a clear and decisive positioning of war both from the prisoners and from the like-minded environments of the street. On this basis, this week of solidarity with the anarchist prisoners comes to strengthen this relationship based on combat, which is nothing other than the existing complicity that threatens every expression of authority.

To break with welfarism and victimhood is to stop seeing the prisoner as an unquestionable subject by the mere fact of his or her situation of temporary confinement. Therefore, it is also to break with practices that tend to hierarchize and become authoritarian. It is essential to keep this in mind at all times in order to strengthen the anarchic anti-prison struggle.

A complicit salute to all groups and individuals who make their own the war against authority, which is inseparable from the anarchic struggle against prisons. Their actions and attacks are an important respite from the oppressive prison life.

A complicit greeting also to all the anarchist prisoners locked up around the world. A special embrace for comrade Alfredo Cóspito who is in an exceptional situation of imprisonment that the Power intends to make it perpetual.

An end to the sentences of the military justice on Marcelo Villarroel!

Let the prisons explode!

Francisco Solar

Mexico City, Mexico: Explosive Attack against “Ricardo Flores Magón” Police Station

Posted on 2022/09/10 by darknights

After midnight…

On September 3, 2022, we set off an explosive artifact made with dynamite, gunpowder, ammonium sulfate, nitrates, phosphates and butane gas. This happened at approximately one in the morning at the Ricardo Flores Magón Police station located in Jaime Torres Bodet and Ciprés streets of the Santa María la Ribera neighborhood in the territory occupied by Mexico City.

I

We are anarchists. We repudiate that the Mexican Police dare to use the name of Ricardo Flores Magón, whom we consider an important reference of the internationalist anarchist struggle and who detested all kinds of government during his life, to appoint a station of the Mexican police repressors in Mexico City . We warn that we will burn the same station again and again until they stop staining his name in such an opprobrious way.

We also repudiate that the Government of Mexico use our comrade Magón in an attempt to make the imposition of its militarized government legitimate.

We are not afraid of them! We will not allow you to misrepresent the history of anarchism to legitimize any government! Continue reading “Mexico City, Mexico: Explosive Attack against “Ricardo Flores Magón” Police Station” →

Berlin, Germany: Arson attack on a vehicle of the Greek Embassy

Posted on 2022/09/07 - 2022/09/10 by darknights

Attentively we have followed how the Greek state crushes demonstrations in the streets of Athens. The government of Nea Dimokratia and its judiciary have proven that in the hunger strikes of D. Koufontinas and G. Michailidis, they are ready to let prisoners die rather than give in one step. We know the videos of the lynching with the participation of police officers of Zak Kostopoulos. As well as the execution of N. Sampanis in Perama by DIAS is an expression of a ruthless regime, as is the murder of Vassilis Maggos in Volos. Blood drips from the hands of the Greek authorities.

The new junta thinks it is smart to take advantage of the August vacation period to begin construction of the metro station in Exarcheia. Their goal is to destroy every social base and occupy every place of resistance with troops. The evictions of squats in Thessaloniki and the police invasion of the university there have not escaped us either.

Everywhere the Greek state encounters resistance from parts of society. We want to support this resistance in order to bring down the project of ND. The system of ND, its judiciary and its cops, is the state of rapists. The release of rapists and the simultaneous attack on a feminist demonstration in July in Athens, symbolizes the values of Mitsotakis’ government.

At the same time, the killings at Greece’s borders continue. In league with FRONTEX and mercenaries, Greek authorities are responsible for the daily deaths at the gates of the European fortress. Continue reading “Berlin, Germany: Arson attack on a vehicle of the Greek Embassy” →

Chile: Text of the antiauthoritarian prisoner Juan Flores during the week of action and solidarity with the anarchist prisoners.

Posted on 2022/08/30 by darknights

“Humility as the basis for the growth, development and strengthening of anti-authoritarian ideas.”

Because we are still on war footing!!!

Because we continue clearing the paths that will lead us towards the longed-for revenge, giving continuity to our insurrectional yearning.

Together with Maury and Angry!!!!

Together with Ravachol, Severino, Mateo Morral, Sante and all our brothers and sisters who have fallen rabid and thirsty for revenge!!!!

These words are born and fly free from the extermination center Las Gonzalinas in Rancagua, saluting in a fraternal and accomplice way the insurrectionist action of each individual that in any place of the globe resists to a death in monotony in the asphyxiating life of total control, a thousand times I will say it, they are my strongest heartbeat, the continuity that the power fears so much. Also to those brothers and sisters who at the point of insubordinate creativity have decided to show solidarity in this week of agitation.

I have declared myself and acted as an individual in confrontation with domination and its repressive apparatus, making it clear that the anti-authoritarian ideas, the anger against the prevailing order and the memory that shape me will not be bent either by their long sentences or by their askerosas prisons in this sense I transit in war inside the prison like so many anti-authoritarian brothers and sisters is a call to all those individuals who recognize themselves as irreconcilable enemies of the power, to continue advancing along the path of social warfare, giving life among peers and like-minded people to the intensification of conflict and anarchic action in an unbridled manner and against all odds. Today, almost 8 years after my imprisonment, I can share the result of a life in rebellion in which humility has been the basis for maintaining the continuity of my anti-authoritarian struggle in a dignified manner in these dungeons. Every step, decision and even every mistake have been learnings, never regretted or part of something that is posed as absolute that can disregard or belittle the courage of so many comrades through the centuries of struggle against the power of which I consider myself continuity, without exalting always questioning even my own steps. Today I continue to firmly consolidate the certainties of our infinite negating capacities of the existing to break the captivity, its norms, logics, control and all its order in the everyday and the clandestine in anti-authoritarian complicity. For this there are no absolute truths or manuals that can more than our yearnings for freedom, dignity and rebellion, for many the anti-authoritarian struggle seems to be extinguished to many would accommodate them but for our pleasure and their concern our rebellion will continue to exist.
