damn-rulesFrom: Contrainfo

Click here for PDF.

(…) Perhaps the words of Fallon, Amélie, and Carlos will inspire you to build friendships based on trust and affinity, to have each others’ backs, and to translate your own rage against the world of prisons and police and borders into actions. As Carlos “El Chivo” wrote, “I know that anarchist solidarity is strong like an oak tree, and that always goes farther than simple words.” And as anarchists everywhere never cease to remind us: it’s easy to attack.

Somewhere between Mexico City and Montréal, March 2014.

Letter from Fallon, an anarchist imprisoned for attacks with molotovs (Mexico)

From: 325

I want to begin this letter with a huge hug for all the compxs who are on the run, all those who are fighting for their liberty, and all those who are locked up and for whom this world of domination is trying to quell their rage. There is no cell, no wall, no authority to whom I give enough power to quiet my rage and my desire for liberty. I’ve had these feelings since I was a little one and now, in my heart and my head, they are stronger than ever, and there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think of you guys, my friends. I can imagine, and they tell me as well, that the situation outside is very precarious. This doesn’t surprise me, as us deciding to be in conflict comes with repression.

Solidair tegen racisme, repressie en censuur – kom 15 mei naar het hoger beroep Joke Kaviaar

Bron: steungroep13septemberi-will-not

Op donderdag 15 mei, vandaag over zes weken, dient het hoger beroep in de rechtszaak tegen Joke Kaviaar. Het Openbaar Ministerie beschouwt een viertal op haar website gepubliceerde teksten als opruiing, pakte haar op 13 september 2011 op, hield haar enkele dagen vast, en klaagde haar aan. Op 22 januari 2013 volgde een veroordeling tot vier maanden gevangenisstraf. De verdediging tekende hoger beroep aan, en dat dient dus op 15 mei. De Steungroep roept mensen op om aanwezig te zijn, en van te voren deel te nemen aan de demonstratieve actie waarmee de verboden teksten openlijk onder het publiek zullen worden verspreid.

August 23-30, 2014 – International Solidarity Week for Anarchist Prisoners – Call out for action and resistance

From: 325august-1024x719

RussianSpanishGreekItalianPortugueseCzech

In summer 2013 members of several ABC groups discussed the necessity of introducing an International Day for Anarchist Prisoners. Given there are already established dates for Political Prisoners Rights Day or Prison Justice Day, we found it important to emphasise the stories of our comrades as well. Many imprisoned anarchists will never be acknowledged as ‘political prisoners’ by formal human-rights organisations, because their sense of social justice is strictly limited to the capitalist laws which are designed to defend the State and prevent any real social change. At the same time, even within our individual communities, we know so little about the repression that exists in other countries, to say nothing of the names and cases involving many of our incarcerated comrades.
