General News Action Sabotage, solidarity in Greece

Volos, Greece: Taking responsibility by solidarians in solidarity with the death of 21-year-old foreigner in the youth detention centre prison

Taking responsibility in solidarity with the death of 21-year-old foreigner in the youth detention centre.

Once again we bear witness to the absolute inhumanity towards prisoners following the death of a 21-year-old foreigner from “pathological” causes in the youth detention centre of Volos. The just uprising that broke out inside the prison on the night of 26/10 is the least possible act of the prisoners to break the cordon of terror imposed by the humans-guards.

As a reflexive act of solidarity, we broke the ATMs of Alpha Bank the same night as well as burning bins in the centre of Volos.

“Unsurprising Fact” – Letter By Anarchist Prisoner Toby Shone + Fallout From Publication Of “Unsurprising Fact” (UK)

17/10/24

Some things don’t surprise us and for sure the recourse to judicial options I find distasteful but expedient. Anarchism is either illegal or it is not anarchism as our dear comrade Gustavo Rodriguez reminds us. Nevertheless, over the past few months my lawyers were able to obtain a Security Intelligence Report (SIR) produced by the prison’s anti-terror bureaucrats. This disclosure occurred in the course of a parole motion, which was denied in any event. The Secretary of State opposed my release and used a non-disclosure application to prevent me from seeing or being able to respond to “evidence” used against me on grounds of “national security”. The Parole Board disagreed and granted me access to a scant eight pages of intelligence reports.

These cover the time period September 2023 – January 2024 and show an incomplete snapshot of the surveillance and censorship of my correspondence and books, the gathering of information on those that I am in contact with and the intel received about the fireworks solidarity demo at Bristol prison last year when I was detained there. The report revealed the collection of all the names, addresses and personal details of all those who communicate with me. For example, it is noted that one comrade writes that he works as a postman, another comrade “has a daughter in prison”, etc. Also listed in the entries are any personal connections and any details related to affiliations to any groups or tendencies. Geographic analysis using Google Maps has been made to view their locations. The Star and Shadow Cinema in Newcastle upon Tyne is designated a “potential meeting point” and BASE in Bristol described as “a heavily graffitied possible squat or commune.

$hile :Communique from Clandestinity of the May 21 Case Fugitives

Communique from Clandestinity of the May 21 Case Fugitives

October 23, 2024 / informativoanarquista

Received by mail

As the Felipe Ríos support network has already communicated, through communiques on the counterinformation networks, for the past month our comrade has been receiving continual harassment from the gendarmes of $hile. Concretely, he is being transferred within the CPP Bío Bío from one unit to another, placed in isolation cells, denied his belongings and under constant threat of punishment, all for not bowing his head to each arbitrary order of the cops.

Pipe has been imprisoned for more than 4 years, after spending almost two years in clandestinity. Through his communiques we’ve been made aware that being in prison has not bent his firm beliefs against the State and capital, and that he’s remained critical to the prison dynamics that pit some prisoners against others, promoting codes that are different from the authoritarian ones reproduced in the wretched prisons. The comrade’s stringent belief implies an enormous challenge, because it’s not the same path of the majority of the prison population. Therefore, it is mediated by a large share of solitude, which he has always confronted with dignity and with his head held high.

Sardinia (Italy): green capitalism under fire again

On September 9, on the occasion of attacks on industrial wind turbines in Mamoiada and Villacidro, we published a short summary of mobilizations against “energy speculation” in Sardinia, with some details about the two sabotages at the end of August.

As it happens, the series didn’t stop there, as a third occurred shortly afterwards against one of the countless “green” nuisances being installed on the island. On the night of Monday to Tuesday, September 11, at around 4 a.m., in the Garganu area near Tuili in the south of the territory, two thousand photovoltaic panels were completely destroyed after being sprayed with petrol and then set alight. The panels had been stored at the site for use by Polish energy multinational Greenvolt Power.

Sardinia (Italy): the price of green capitalism

In Sardinia, as in many other parts of Europe, energy projects to feed green capitalism have been proliferating for several years. In these sunny and seaside regions, already infested by mass tourism, these are mainly solar and wind farms.

On this Mediterranean island off the coast of Corsica, monsters of steel and cement must be built at all costs, even if it means uprooting olive, apricot and almond trees by force, to be replaced by huge industrial wind turbines with masts up to 200 meters high. Nearly 800 new “renewable energy production” projects are officially being studied, some of which are symbolic of all the others, such as that of the Chinese multinational Chint, which in April 2024 purchased over a thousand hectares in the north of the island (at Nurra), in order to build the largest solar farm ever conceived in Europe. Faced with growing citizen protests, ranging from local committee demonstrations to picketing the port of Oristano in an attempt to block the arrival of a shipment of wind masts, and arguing in particular for the landscape and the fact that Sardinia cannot continue to be ravaged in this way just to export so-called “green” energy to the mainland, the region’s president soon found herself faced with a dilemma.
