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.”

Pre-Trial Motions Hearings Set for Tuesday and Thursday in Landmark Federal Prairieland ICE Protest Case (USA)

Posted on 2026/02/10 - 2026/02/10 by darknights

Just Days Before the Federal Trial Begins, Defense Motions Seek to Suppress Evidence, Exclude Codefendant Statements at Trial

FORT WORTH, TX – Days before a widely watched federal trial is set to begin in the Prairieland ICE protest case, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Pittman ordered pretrial motions hearings for Tuesday, February 10 and Thursday, February 12. Nine defendants—Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Daniel “Des” Rolando Sanchez Estrada, Benjamin “Champagne” Song, Elizabeth Soto, and Ines Soto—who were indicted in November on a variety of charges including riot, discharging a firearm, attempted murder, material support for terrorism, and conspiracy to conceal documents will start their federal trial next week with jury selection on Tuesday, February 17.

On Tuesday, February 10 at 10am, Judge Pittman will hear arguments on a motion to suppress evidence against Prairieland defendant Elizabeth Soto, and a motion filed by Prairieland defendant Autumn Hill to exclude statements of codefendant Meagan Morris. A third motion filed on behalf of Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada, which is currently being withheld from the public record, will be heard on Thursday, February 12 at 2pm. The Prairieland case stems from a July 4, 2025 noise demonstration in support of detained immigrants at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.

In August and September 2025, after the murder of a motorbike courier during a protest against government corruption and police brutality in Jakarta, Indonesia exploded into a huge popular uprising which rocked the regime of the ex-military President Prabowo. After the riots, the ruling elites blamed the “anarchists” for causing the unrest and they started to round up thousands of young people in major cities, blaiming them for taking part in the protests.

Across the country, young people were snatched by the anti-terrorist unit, ‘Densus 88’, and tortured until they gave false testimony. The regime attacked young people in the streets, delivery drivers, IT workers, activists, punks, journalists, musicians & others, who were all accused of serious “crimes”…

Come and find out about the ‘Chaos Star‘ frame-up of more than 70 accused anarchists. Come and find out how the cops were able to round up the anarchist, radical left and alternative scenes in Indonesia. What can we learn from the repression? What are the roles of anarchists during mass insurrections?

How we can support the hundreds of prisoners? Find out @ BASE, 15/3/26

ICE agents murder another legal observer (USA)

Reports are confirmed that ICE agents shot 37 year old comrade Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, on the street, who was filming their repression in Minneapolis, USA. This took place in the context of widespread protests and an ongoing general strike. The USA has been rocked by the widespread deployment of a fascist personal army of Trump who are attacking and detaining people of colour. There is a media whiteout on the actual detailed news of what is taking place. The Trump administration has reached its point of no return.

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.

Chaos Star case: Anarchist comrade Eat released under house arrest (Indonesia)

Posted on 2026/01/22 - 2026/01/26 by darknights

Chaos Star update 22.1.26

Accused anarchist comrade Eat, in the Chaos Star case, has been released from the West Java paramilitary police compound to house/city arrest. Eat is expected to be watched closely by the Densus88 antiterrorist unit. Comrades and lawyers went to meet him and take him to get nutrition, medicine and rest. Eat remains under investigation and the case is still open. Here’s what Eat’s lawyer had to say about his status:

‘Eat was release by operation of law because the detention period during the investigation stage had expired and could not be extended. However, this release is temporary, as the legal process is still ongoing. The case is currently awaiting transfer from the prosecutor’s office. If it proceeds to the prosecution stage, Eat may be detained again and transferred to Kebon Waru Detention Center for trial.

From a substantive standpoint, Eat actually has a legal advantage in this case. The charges and the investigation report do not meet the required legal elements, particularly those related to incitement. There is no clear evidence of any direct call or instruction to organize or carry out last year’s protest, as alleged. because of this, the prosecutors themselves are hesitant to move the case forward to court.’

This hesitation has also influenced the investigator’s decision not to pursue a second case involving Eat and another named comrade. We thank everyone for their solidarity and support. Without international pressure, we do not believe that Eat would have been released.

Nothing is over. Eat could be re-arrested. There are another 73 accused anarchists and hundreds of prisoners of the uprising still detained. Yet this is a major success, since the Densus88 wanted to scapegoat Eat as the organizational figurehead and leader of the fake Chaos Star network and of the insurrection itself.

Please remain attentive to the health condition and legal process of Eat and that of the other prisoners. Anarchist comrade Dena remains in the West Java compound, and is also ill from lack of HIV medication. Take action and donate to Palang Hitam/ABC Indonesia. We don’t have enough support to adequately provide infrastructure to such a large number of prisoners at a time when the anarchist movement is under attack in Indonesia. To donate, contact Dark Nights, IWOC UK or any long-running established ABC group.

Fire to the prisons!

Supporters of Prairieland Defendants Release Statement Raising Serious Concerns About Actions of Judge in Upcoming Federal Trial (USA)

Posted on 2026/01/21 - 2026/01/22 by darknights

+ Defendant in Prairieland ICE Detention Center Protest Case Moves to Dismiss State Indictment in Pretrial Hearing

FORT WORTH, TX — A federal judge in the Prairieland ICE Detention Center case fined three defense lawyers five hundred dollars each last week for a mistake in a routine motion to compel discovery. In a Show Cause hearing on January 14, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Pittman admonished lawyers representing Prairieland defendant Zachary Evetts, calling the motion “frivolous.”

In response to this and other actions taken by Judge Pittman in the Prairieland case, the DFW Support Committee—a group of family and loved ones of the defendants—published a statement today. “As the Prairieland defendants’ federal trial approaches, a pattern of concerning activity by the presiding judge, Mark Pittman, has emerged,” reads the statement. “The fate of the defendants—and the result of this trial—will have enormous impacts on the legal terrain for those resisting ICE terror and the course of the rising authoritarianism in the U.S. As such, the fairness of this trial should be an acute concern for all.”

“Judge Pittman is showing a clear disdain for the defendants,” said Irina Popova, who attended the Show Cause hearing. “Zachary’s lawyer was doing his job by asking the court to make sure he gets all the relevant evidence. The judge compared him to a five-year-old child, and bullied him into agreeing that his request was frivolous, which is deeply disturbing, and forebodes an unfair trial.” Continue reading “Supporters of Prairieland Defendants Release Statement Raising Serious Concerns About Actions of Judge in Upcoming Federal Trial (USA)” →
