Rome: Presentation of a new Anarchist Black Cross newsletter at the Bencivenga squat (Italy)

stillnotlovingprisonwebIntroductory note by RadioAzione, via Actforfree:

I receive and transmit the editorial of the Anarchist Black Cross newsletter, which will be presented on 25th April at the Bencivenga Squat in Rome. Besides spreading letters from prisoners and claims of attacks, counter-information should propose analysis, be it from the internet or on paper. I’m sorry I don’t agree with some passages of this editorial, when the comrades probably talk without having a direct experience of counter-information via web. Most importantly, there exist no virtual worlds but comrades who meet in person and organize initiatives all over the world. But I’m happy about this new Anarchist Black Cross bulletin, especially as there’s always the need of analysis on paper: Continue reading Rome: Presentation of a new Anarchist Black Cross newsletter at the Bencivenga squat (Italy) →

Two belated letters from Mario ‘Tripa’ Lopez, who has gone underground (Mexico)

fuerzatripaFirst Public Letter

You are waiting for the revolution! Very well! My own began along time ago! When you are ready — God, what an endless wait! — it won’t nauseate me to go along the road awhile with you! But when you stop, I will continue on my mad and triumphant march toward the great and sublime conquest of Nothing! Every society you build will have its fringes, and on the fringes of every society, heroic and restless vagabonds will wander, with their wild and virgin thoughts, only able to live by preparing ever new and terrible outbreaks of rebellion!
I shall be among them! Continue reading Two belated letters from Mario ‘Tripa’ Lopez, who has gone underground (Mexico) →

Spanningen in Griekse Gevangenissen

X-Greek-PrisonsDatum: 29-3-2014
Bron: LibCom.org
Vertaling: Tommy Ryan

Ten midden van verslechterende omstandigheden en harde maatregelen is de woede deze week overgekookt waarbij een gevangenisbewaarder en een gevangene werden vermoord in de gevagenis in Malandrino, Griekenland.

De spanningen lopen hoog op in het Griekse gevangenissysteem na de dood van een gevangenisbewaker en de gevangene die hem vermoordde.
Eerder deze week werd Llia Kareli, vermoordde een 42-jarige gevangene gevangenisbewaarder Yiorgos Tsiranis in de gevangenis in Malandrino. Kareli, die een lange gevangenisstraf uit zat, had een verzoek ingediend zijn stervende moeder te bezoeken. Dit werd hem ontzegd. Met een scherp voorwerp heeft hij Tsiranis neergestoken die ter plaatse overleed. Kareli werd overgeplaatst naar de Nigrita gevangenis en werd daar in een isoleercel gehouden ter observatie. In deze cel is het later dood teruggevonden. Er is een onderzoek onderweg naar de doodsoorzaak maar het rapport van de lijkschouwer laat zien dat Kareli hevige verwondingen had die overeen lijken te komen met marteling van voor zijn dood.

Debbie Vincent Sentenced to 6 Years In Prison

debbie_2860235bToday Debbie Vincent, an animal rights activist from the Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) campaign was sentenced to six years in prison for conspiracy to blackmail after a five week long trial at Winchester Crown Court. She was also given an Anti Social Behaviour Order which means she can be arrested if she protests against or contacts Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) or its business partners for a further five years after her release from prison.

The sentence should serve as a wake up call to anti-capitalists of the need to offer solidarity to those who have been singled out for repression because of their involvement in effective resistance to corporate power. Continue reading Debbie Vincent Sentenced to 6 Years In Prison →

Spain: Update on the situation of anarchists comrades Mónica and Francisco

From: Actforfreedomfrancisco-and-monica

Today, Saturday April 12, after passing through several prisons (Madrid, Burgo, Cantabria) throughout the week, our compañero arrived in Asturias, where they abruptly decided to transfer him.

Several weeks ago, we communicated through various media that Fransisco was in a pretty bad situation due to isolation. Although the situation has changed, surely due to pressure from outside, he remains in a punishment wing, separated from the rest of the “political” prisoners, although in a relatively better situation and they have allowed him, after many months, telephone calls with friends, since the prison’s warden had only allowed calls with family members.

Mexico, 5E: Update on the beginning of the trial

banda5eFrom: Actforfreedom

April 3 and 4 were the dates indicated as the start of the trial for Amelie, Fallon and Carlos, arrested on Jan. 5. For the first hearing, on April 3, the police officers who made the arrest were summoned to testify so to start the presentation of evidence. However, at 11am, the appointed time, no cops showed up, suspending the hearing. On April 4 only one of the summoned expert witnesses was present. New dates for the hearings were set for April 28 and 29.

During the night of April 3 Carlos was moved to the general prison population area. The compañerxs could be seen through the cracks in the railing.The no-show of testifying cops and experts is a strategy of delaying the judicial proceedings which have already been used before in trials against other compañerxs. It is a way to try to erode solidarity. Therefore, we call to continue solidarity with all compañerxs kidnapped by the Mexican government in its prisons.

Gribus #2 Callout for contributions

GribuscoversmallIt has been a while ago since we could present our new anti-prison magazine to you. What started with a discussion about how to get more news about prisoner support and anti-prison related topics into the world, soon transformed into a new magazine called ´Gribus´.

With this zine we try to show the importance of prisoner support and why it should be an integral part of the anarchist struggle. In Gribus #1 we highlighted some individual cases of prisoners along with some writings on prison abolition and alternatives to the prison system and the criminal ´justice´ system.

Hopefully this magazine has informed or inspired you to start thinking about the abolition of prisons, writing to a prisoner, or even burning down a prison. For the next Gribus we are looking for contributions from you. Unlike the last one, this edition is going to be in English. So if you have a nice article, some artwork, announcements, etc, to put into the next magazine, please contact us. Continue reading Gribus #2 Callout for contributions →
