JUNE 11TH: INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH MARIUS MASON & ALL LONG-TERM ANARCHIST PRISONERS

AGAINST OBLIVION, AGAINST DESPAIR: A CALL FOR JUNE 11TH Another year passes, and another June 11th is upon us. Once again we’re appreciating all that has unfolded in anarchist struggle over this period, both triumphs and hardships, outside the prison walls, and within. We’re appreciating the beauty in fighting back, and the strength that can be fostered when we refuse to succumb to both oblivion, and despair. Against oblivion: we refuse to let the state disappear rebels, to erase their

ITALY: NEWS FROM ALFREDO COSPITO

Alfredo is in fair condition, is very lucid, and expected a rejection by the Rome probation court. He does not despair that he will still be successful in his battle. In any case he lets it be known that he intends to go on until death. Since the prospect of life imprisonment has been avoided for now – at least postponed – with the decision of the Turin appeals court on Dec. 5, Alfredo reiterates that he will only stop

BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA: ACT OF SOLIDARITY WITH COMRADE ALFREDO COSPITO.

With a small (but no less important) gesture of complicity we show our solidarity with comrade Alfredo Cospito, kidnapped in the maximum security prison of Bancali.

ITALY: STATEMENT BY ANNA BENIAMINO READ DURING THE APPEAL HEARING FOR THE RECALCULATION OF SENTENCES IN THE SCRIPTA MANENT TRIAL

We receive and publish Anna Beniamino’s statement read during the appeal hearing for the recalculation of sentences in the Scripta Manent trial (Turin, Dec. 5, 2022). This is a political trial, one that has been tense from the beginning to the administration of exemplary punishment, a trial of our identities as anarchists rather than the facts, a trial of those who do not abjure their ideas. A massacre without massacre attributed without evidence is the culmination of a growing effort

We receive and publish Alfredo Cospito’s statement read during the appeal hearing for the recalculation of sentences in the Scripta Manent trial (Turin, Dec. 5, 2022). I read only four lines.

The judiciary of the Italian republic decided that, too subversive, I could no longer have the chance to see the stars again, freedom. Buried

CHILE: STATEMENT FROM TORTU COMRADE FOR THE DEATH OF TONY.

Two weeks after the kidnapping of my compañerxs and I, the reason that makes me write this statement today is to hold the investigation police responsible for the death of my cat companion Tony, who on the day of the raid on my home was cowardly beaten with a kick in his stomach, which left him with internal sequelae. When visiting the vet they decided to inject him with medication to prevent nausea and constant vomiting, as well as vitamin

INTERNATIONAL CALL – DO NOT ALLOW THE ASSASSINATION OF ALFREDO COSPITO.

On Oct. 2022, anarchist Alfredo Cospito began an all-out hunger strike. Alfredo, a revolutionary prisoner since 2012, was transferred to Bancali Prison in Sardinia on May 5 and is subjected to 41 bis, a prison regime repeatedly denounced as a form of torture based on the technique of sensory deprivation. Recall that this special prison regime is also applied to three comrades of the BR PCC, to whom it has been constantly renewed for more than 17 years. The hunger

SANTIAGO, CHILE: EXPLOSIVE PACKAGE ATTACK AGAINST OXIQUIM S.A.

The central offices of Oxiquim S.A. in Providencia, Santiago de Chile, were attacked with an anarchic attitude. The high-powered device failed to explode due to a surmountable technical detail, so let’s go for more. Oxiquim, giant of the Chilean chemical industry, direct supplier of the main extractive industries in the forestry, mining, agro-industrial and fishing sectors of the country. Oxiquim, company presided by Fernando Barros Tocornal, businessman with a high level of influence in Chilean politics, direct lawyer of the

CHILE: FIRST STATEMENT FROM THE «SUSARON» CASE PRISONERS

On the side of kittens, jaguars, dogs, cows, horses, chinchillas, trees and blizzards. We write this message full of pride, with a great mocking grimace on our faces. The punishment for breaking the fear and the monotony of sterile grandiloquent words, we have always known, is death or prison. Since we were little we have known it. And here we are, crashing into a wall in the middle of a beautiful and dizzying journey that here, only begins. With our

CHILE: TWO YEARS AFTER OUR IMPRISONMENT. WORDS OF MÓNICA AND FRANCISCO FROM PRISON.

We have always prioritized not having intermediaries when it comes to communicating, that no one speaks for us and in these days that we will be two years since those who support the hegemony of power and force locked us in these concrete pits called prisons, will be no exception. This second year of imprisonment will bring with it the end of the investigative period of our legal process, that is to say that the period in which the prosecution

ITALY: JULY 21 SOLIDARITY WITH JUAN AND ANARCHIST PRISONERS

On July 9 our friend and colleague Juan was sentenced in first instance to 28 years in prison, and three subsequent years of probation, on the charge of 280 bis (attack with a terrorist purpose) for the explosive attack that in 2018 damaged the headquarters of the Lega di Treviso. A sentence evidently already written, which transposes in full the requests of the prosecutor. The same is being given treatment to Alfredo and Anna, accused in the operation Scripta Manent.

GREECE: VIOLATION AFTER THE ASSASSINATION OF THE CONCEPT OF JUSTICE – STATEMENT BY COMRADE GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS.

For Greek “justice”, a rapist of a child (D. Lignadis) has been sufficiently rehabilitated and is not a danger to society after less than 1.5 years in prison. A racially motivated murderer (Ath. Hortarias), has been sufficiently rehabilitated and is also not a danger after 2 months in prison. The murderer of 15-year-old Alexandros (Ep. Korkoneas) does not deserve life imprisonment. Another rapist (P. Filippidis), earns his freedom prematurely as he is not considered dangerous because of his celebrity. This
