A quick recap of T.’s trial on May 20 in Brussels (Belgium)

On Wednesday, May 20, about thirty people gathered in front of the Brussels courthouse, a hideous, imposing, oppressive, and gloomy building. Outside, police quickly arrived to look for someone in charge. As no one would answer them, the police said they knew the group was there for the trial of an anarchist. Indeed, they had come to observe the trial of T., who has been held hostage by the state for over six months now, accused of attempting to set police cars on fire in front of the Ixelles police station on November 10, 2025.

The thirty people enter the courthouse without incident, leading the police officers present for the hearing, since neither they nor the lawyer know where the courtroom was. Finally, we eat our salvaged pastries in the courtroom, listening to a judge who delivers a verdict at the speed of an auctioneer — one that includes years in prison — followed by a case where the lawyer turns on her (absent) client, calling them “unforgivable,” under pressure from Judge Panou and the state’s attorney. We learn that T. is on his way from prison, having been let out of his cell at 7 a.m. Continue reading A quick recap of T.’s trial on May 20 in Brussels (Belgium)

Solidarity with Daniela Klette, who was sentenced today to 13 years in prison – Her statement from May 12, 2026 (Germany)

Today, May 27, 2026, Daniela Klette was sentenced to 13 years in prison at her first trial. She was charged with various acts of expropriation to finance her nearly 30-year life in hiding.

Daniela was arrested in Berlin in February 2024 following a tip-off in exchange for a reward of 25,564.60 euros, and her first trial began in March 2025, which has now concluded after over a year and more than 100 witness testimonies.

She was convicted, among other things, of six counts of aggravated robbery, attempted aggravated robbery, violations of gun laws, and kidnapping for ransom.

The fact that the trials against her were separated is a possible attempt to depoliticize life in hiding and the expropriation actions. Continue reading Solidarity with Daniela Klette, who was sentenced today to 13 years in prison – Her statement from May 12, 2026 (Germany)

PALANG HITAM INTERNATIONAL
From Indonesia, Hongkong, United Kingdom, Spain, Chile, Greece and Worldwide Abolish Prisons!

We are the International Black Cross, a collective of young people from Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas—most of us have been imprisoned, and some are still behind bars. We exist to challenge the oppressive prison system and the authorities that profit from what is called prison.

Prisons don’t make communities safer—they reproduce violence and strip people of dignity. Our focus is on those affected by incarceration: amplifying voices inside and beyond the walls, and imagining a world where justice means accountability, community-based healing, and transformative justice—not control, isolation, or contemporary practices like Cancel Culture. Cancel Culture conflicts with our anti-authoritarian principles, as it often only benefits elites who profit from our mutual destruction.

(Indonesia) Update Tahanan Anarkis May Day Bandung 2026 / Freedom for Mpe and the Mayday defendants

One of the detainees arrested during the May Day 2026 protests in Bandung, RR alias Mpe, who was previously accused of being the “leader of an anarchist group,” has now been charged by the police under terrorism laws. He has also reportedly been placed in isolation and denied access to legal counsel of his own choosing, raising serious concerns over the violation of a suspect’s right to provide testimony freely and without coercion, intimidation, or pressure.

In this case, the police appear to be employing the same narrative pattern used during last August’s unrest: identifying a supposed “mastermind,” “leader,” or individual believed to have planned and orchestrated the riots. Law enforcement authorities maintain that prosecuting those considered to be the driving force behind unrest can prevent similar incidents from recurring in the future. In practice, however, such an approach has often functioned as an authoritarian mechanism for criminalizing groups deemed disruptive to political stability, while simultaneously diverting public attention away from structural grievances and redirecting it toward specific individuals.

(Greece) UPDATE ON THE TRANSFERS OF THE COMRADES FOR THE CASE OF THE BANK EXPROPRIATION IN KATÓ TITHOREA

After the end of the testimony of the eight prosecuted comrades in the interrogation room on Friday 15/5 and the pre-trial detention of six of them, the comrade who was ordered to be remanded in custody was taken to the Western Attica Crime Investigation Department in Ano Liosia and the remaining 5 comrades to the GADA(Police Headquarters). On Monday 18/5, the female comrade was taken to the Korydallos women’s prison, while the next day (Tuesday 19/5) one of the other comrades to Korydallos men’s prison. Three days later, on 22/5, a simultaneous transfer of 3 more of the comrades to the prisons of Trikala, Larissa and Malandrino respectively took place. Today, on the morning of 26/5, the transfer of the last comrade to Nafplio prison took place after more than 2 weeks’ detention in GADA(Police Headquarters).

The vengeful but expected dispersion of the comrades to prisons throughout the Greek territory in an attempt to limit their communication and psychologically annihilate them does not surprise us, after all, we are aware of the mechanisms of the state and its accomplices.

Against Their War. Against The Silence: Sabotage (Rotterdam, Netherlands)

Against Their War. Against The Silence: Sabotage

Between February and April 2026 the cables next to the railline at Kralingse Bos, the harbour of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, were set on fire twice.

As the media has not reported on these sabotages we decided to share this information, in the hope that others might find some inspiration from such actions. Too many words have already been written about the ongoing genocide, about war, about militarism and about the devastation of the planet.

The goods that make war, genocide and ecocide possible are moved through this harbour. It is all our responsibility to put an end to this.

With rage against those that bring death and devastation. And with love to life and those who walk gently upon this earth.

Unexpected Items, anarchist paper of beautiful inconviniences. Issue 2. (London)

EDITORIAL

In these pages, our second issue of hissing vitriol to hit the streets of London, readers will find ferocious criticisms of more than a few facts which have been promoted to universal acceptance. Facts like the inevitability of scientific progress and the great efficacy of modern medicine. They will also find noisy jubilation over some limited attacks on certain (in)famous personalities and “critical national infrastructure”.

Given that we are anarchists, it could well be asked what we think these kinds of very peripheral ideas and acts have to do with the realisation of a world without rulers or ruled? What they have to do with a revolution which releases each one’s personal powers and capacities in an unlimited way, across all the domains of life, from sexuality to food-cultivation, from philosophy to the use of weapons?

(Thessaloniki): Banner hanging in memory of: Mauricio Morales, Kyriakos Xymitiris, Sara Ardizzone, Alessandro Mercogliano

At dawn on May 22, 17 years after the death of anarcho-nihilist comrade Mauricio Morales from a premature explosion of a bomb targeting a police academy that he was carrying in his bag, on his bicycle, we hung a giant banner in the castles [of Thessaloniki] honouring the memory of both the comrade himself and other comrades fallen in a similar way in the field of struggle.

(Chile) Commemoration of the 17th anniversary of the death in action of anarchist comrade Mauricio Morales

On the anniversary of Mauri’s death, while attempting to attack the school of miserable jailers, a group of individuals gathered to remember him where he met his end.

The walls of that street, frequented daily by jailers, proudly and boldly proclaim our brother’s name and his contribution to Anarchy. We like it that way.

We were escorted by a large police contingent, with armoured vehicles and unmarked cars. We also like that this happened; it shows how much they fear the memory of our dead, how much they fear their legacy spreading like the worst plague.

We are happy that Mauri’s memory lives on, as much as Anarchy does.

Until we destroy the last bastion of the prison society!
Mauricio Morales present!

[Spanish/Italian State] Text: Preparing for the worst: possible extradition to Italy of comrade Gabriel Pombo Da Silva

Preparing for the worst: possible extradition to Italy of comrade Gabriel Pombo Da Silva

9.5.26

We recall that in December 2025, our comrade was arrested under an international arrest warrant (EAW issued from Italy). His detention lasted five hours until Judge Pedraz granted him provisional release with the conditions of signing in and a travel ban. This EAW stems from one of Italy’s many repressive operations: “Operation Scripta Manent” in 2016, which resulted in Gabriel being sentenced to two years’ prison in 2022 for incitement to commit crime. At the end of November last year, the Turin court announced that it would not accept the alternative measures to imprisonment requested by the lawyer due to a “lack of self-criticism of his own values” (a rather apt metaphor to emphasize his lack of remorse), thus paving the way for the execution of the sentence. This is why the EAW was issued: Judge Pedraz considered this offence a crime of opinion and therefore did not order imprisonment, requesting certain documentation from both parties.

A few days ago, a court order arrived, signed by the same judge, who, while partly agreeing with one side and partly with the other, facilitates the possible extradition of Gabriel to Italy if certain requirements are met.

Fundraiser For More Anarchist Printing Presses in Abya Yala (Mexico)

We are an anti-authoritarian anarchist publishing distributor in the
north of the territory dominated by the Mexican state. We appeal to
international anarchist solidarity in order to raise funds for a
high-volume printer so we can continue our work of editing, binding, and printing books, propaganda, and pamphlets.

Since our beginnings, the intention has been to bring the written word into the streets in different formats—fanzines, books, posters, and anarchist graphics. The goal has been to insist on creating spaces for gathering: anti-prison activities, counter cultural fairs, discussions, film screenings, and documentaries, all with the aim of stirring dialogue.
