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.

Italy: ‘The winter of capital’

Posted on 2022/10/01 - 2022/10/14 by darknights

The winter of capital

This weekend’s elections were very important for the fate of Europe. No, we are not talking about the miserable staging of the Italian round of elections, but about the referendums held in some occupied territories of Ukraine for annexation to the Russian Federation.

With them, the proxy and regionalized “world war” being fought between Russia and NATO takes a formal turn with important practical consequences. From the moment the Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye officially become part of Russia, Putin’s regime can claim that any Ukrainian attack in these territories will be read as an attack on Russia itself. The result is the order for general mobilization, the proclamation of martial law, and the transformation of its industry into a war economy to defend the homeland.

With this strategic shift, the Russian government moves away from the rhetoric of Special Military Operation – a neologism taken in inspiration from “international police missions,” “peacekeeping missions,” “humanitarian wars,” and other fanciful Doctor Strangelove sorties of the much-hated West – to the declaration of outright war. Demonstrating the farcical nature of any electoral mechanism, which always photographs the power relations between dominants and never an abstruse as non-existent “popular will,” Putin ordered partial mobilization even before knowing the referendum outcome, recalling the first three hundred thousand reservists.

From now on, all those states that have been arming the Kiev regime for months and that have enabled it to resist so effectively and to counterattack with unexpected successes become cobelligerent. Those who arm a state to which war is formally declared are also (almost) at war. Europe and the United States will now have to take responsibility for a conflict that they have fueled by all means, with the aim of bleeding the Russian enemy dry, hoping to achieve maximum results with minimum effort, i.e., by sending Ukrainian ascari1 to their deaths.

Rather than expire in the partisan readings of the court pen-pushers and opposing supporters, which as internationalists and enemies of every state we cannot but reject, reiterating our hostility against all sides in the war, it is worth dwelling on a couple of thoughts.

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

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.

Rome, Italy: Defacement claim in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2022/09/18 by darknights

On the night of 21-22 August in Rome, we defaced the mural dedicated to Falcone and Borsellino [anti-mafia prosecutors killed in 1992 by the mafia] with paint and writings. A small gesture in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, anarchist prisoner under the 41 bis regime. A little contempt for democracy and its putrid champions. The Anti-mafia tortures. No 41bis.

Everybody free
