Refusing Tech-Dystopia: GardaWorld’s AI Camera Tower Toppled in Hochelaga (Canada)


About a month ago, without any announcement, a large camera tower was placed in the middle of Marche Maisonneuve, Hochelaga. The tower was a new tool of AI camera surveillance developed by the local enemy company GardaWorld. These towers of control are being rolled out all over North America by the thousands by the company’s new subsidiary ECAM. Enraged by the continued encroachment of surveillance technology in our lives and emboldened by a winter full of attacks on cameras in the city, we decided to do something about it.

We went out one night, toppled the tower and destroyed the cameras. We were filled with joy to discover that others had gotten there first, in what was clearly an attempt to burn the tower. ECAM claims that, using AI technology, this tower will alert authorities of suspicious activity before a crime is committed. They clearly failed to do so fast enough.

Genova: carretto solidale per gl* arrestat* del 16 giugno (Italy)

Nella serata di venerdì 19 giugno un carretto ha attraversato i vicoli del centro storico di Genova per portare solidarietà ai compagni e le compagne arrestat*, indagat* e perquisit* nell’operazione messa in atto dalla procura di Roma ad inizio settimana.

Un po’ di musica, interventi, cori e striscioni tra i caruggi intasati dalla caotica movida del fine settimana; questo momento è stata anche occasione per scambiare qualche parola con ragazze e ragazzi che si fermavano, incuriositi, a leggere i volantini distribuiti, e allo stesso tempo momento per ribadire tutto il nostro odio (spesso tra questi giovani decisamente condiviso!) per le guardie e le galere.

The Informal Solidarity Network for Political Prisoners of the “Anarchist” Cluster, are raising funds to cover legal expenses for prisoners. (Indonesia)

COMMUNIQUÉ

In August and September 2025, following the killing of a motorcycle taxi (ojek) driver during protests against government corruption and police brutality in Jakarta, Indonesia erupted in a massive popular uprising that shook the regime of President Prabowo, a former military officer. In the aftermath of the unrest, the ruling elite blamed “anarchists” for the disorder and launched mass arrests of thousands of young people across major cities, accusing them of involvement in the protests.

Across the country, young people were abducted by the Densus 88 counterterrorism unit and tortured into giving false confessions. The regime targeted young people in the streets, motorcycle taxi drivers, IT workers, activists, punks, journalists, musicians, and many others, all accused of committing serious “crimes.”

EN/IT/: A new repressive operation under Article 270bis. The Bencivenga Occupation in Rome has been evicted, and arrests and searches have taken place in several cities. (Italy)

FR: Italie : Rafle d’anarchistes ,Rafle d’anarchistes à Rome et ailleurs. Les adresses des compagnons emprisonnés

We make known:

Starting at around 5am on June 16, 2026, the Rome prosecutor’s office launched yet another repressive operation involving numerous anarchist comrades in various parts of the country. The alleged crime is conspiracy for terrorist purposes (Article 270 bis). The conspiracy is said to be related to sabotage carried out during the devastation of the Milan and Cortina areas, also known as the Winter Olympics.

As far as we know, five comrades are being held in prison and two have been put under house arrest with electronic bracelets. However, following the searches, two more comrades were arrested on charges of autoaddestramento [self-training] (Article 270 quinquies), although no precautionary measures had initially been foreseen for them.

Following this operation, the occupied Bencivenga was evicted.
We are currently listing the addresses that are known of the comrades in prison.

Nico Aurigemma
Arnau Vallet Casadevall
Stefano Marri
Regina Coeli, Via della Lungara 29, 00165, Rome

Micol Marino,

These addresses are provisional and may change in the coming days. One of the two comrades arrested following the search is reportedly still at the police station awaiting a fast-track trial. Updates will follow.
All our solidarity goes out to them. With rage and love, for anarchy.

Attack on Nouveau Monde Contractor ABB, Two Vehicles Burned. ( Montreal,Canada)

Earlier this spring, two pickup trucks belonging to the industrial technology company ABB were set on fire in the parking lot of their main Montreal office. ABB specializes in the electrification and automation of industry.

They are a cog in the machine of the devastating “ecological transition” on an international level. ABB has a contract with Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) to build a substation for the Matawinie graphite mine in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, recently declared a project of “national interest” by the government of Canada. NMG claims this substation will eventually allow the mine to run fully electrically.

Italy: In times of war. About the anti-anarchist raid of June 16th (Anarchists of Trento and Rovereto June 16th 2026)

EL: ΣΕ ΚΑΙΡΟΥΣ ΠΟΛΕΜΟΥ Για την αντι-αναρχική επιχείρηση της 16ης Ιουνίου

IN TIMES OF WAR
About the anti-anarchist raid of June 16th

Tuesday June 16th, in Rome and elsewhere, yet more raids struck the anarchist movement, with six arrest warrants for as many comrades various others under investigation, searches all over Italy and the eviction of the occupied space in Rome, Bencivenga.

As well as that, two comrades have been arrested with the new charge of “terrorismo della parola” [terrorism of the word] (270-quinquies) for possession of a number of pamphlets found during the raid.

While the information leaked by the media is scarcer and more patchy than usual, it is quite clear that the investigations concern a number of acts of sabotage of railway lines, in particular that carried out on February 14th on the Rome-Florence line, against the Cortina war Olympics in 2026.

EN/INDONESIAN : HSBC Bank attacked in solidarity with imprisoned anarchists in Indonesia (Bristol,UK)

Bristol solidarity for Indonesia

We receive and transmit:

COMMUNIQUE

On 10th June in Kingswood, Bristol, HSBC Bank was attacked and the windows were smashed. HSBC Bank are a large investor and financial bloodsucker operating in Indonesia, where foreign multinationals and domestic businesses allied to the Prabowo regime loot and destroy the ecology and people. It is the banks, capitalists and elites that are responsible for the misery in our lives and it doesn’t matter that our imprisoned comrades Adit, Naufal, Komar, Mpe and Dena are far away.

Through destruction of a shared target, in this case a Bank with
investments in the Indonesian state, we are making our solidarity real.

RU FROM ”CASO SUSARON” MAKES A STATEMENT FROM PRISON (Chile)

“As the months have passed I’ve become quieter and more withdrawn. I suppose those are normal effects after spending a fairly prolonged period in prison.

I hadn’t written for a while because I hadn’t felt like it and because I felt I’d already said what I needed to politically. But I have never stopped receiving shows of support, solidarity actions and other gestures. That is why I write these words.

[City of Iwannina ,Greece]Taking responsibility for inflicting damages [05/2026] by Propaganda of action


Taking responsibility for inflicting damages on Peiraiws bank and Sklavenitis supermarket

In response to the call to support the demands of the community of the occupied prosfygika. Outraged by the vindictive sentencing of our comrades Marianna and Dimitra

  1. In the early hours of Friday, May 1, 2026, we smashed the facade of the Piraeus Bank on Georgiou Averof street.
  2. In the early hours of Thursday, May 14, 2026, we smashed the facade of Sklavenitis on Valaoritou street –>
    https://www.epiruspost.gr/agnostos-dielyse-tzamaries-soyper-ma/ . We chose targets in the city center to demonstrate that the tower of state sovereignity, even in areas with increased police presence, is built from cards.

However, just as social activism requires a constant presence, so does the night-time activity to exert pressure.

We are no restless.

With our hearts with our fallen comrade Kyriakos
With our minds with our imprisoned comrades Dimitra and Marianna
With our hands in support of the struggle of the occupied prosfygika

WE WILL WIN OR WE WILL WIN

Solidarity gathering: Get Alfredo out of 41 bis. For international solidarity among the oppressed. Against all the masters of war and exploitation (Rome, Italy, june 12, 2026)

GET ALFREDO OUT OF 41 BIS
FOR INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY AMONG THE OPPRESSED
AGAINST ALL THE MASTERS OF WAR AND EXPLOITATION

As the four-year application period was coming to an end, the Ministry of Justice announced on April 30 that the 41 bis regime would be extended for another two years for Alfredo Cospito. A hearing regarding the appeal against the Ministry’s decision to extend the regime is scheduled for June 12 at the Supervisory Court of Rome.

Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist imprisoned in 2012 for attacking one of the key individuals responsible for the upcoming nuclear disaster. After nearly ten years imprisonment, he was transferred to the most oppressive prison regime in the Italian prison system. This measure is in line with the repressive maneuvers of all recent governments and is a clear expression of internal war policies imposed to silence him and halt the circulation of his writings. Meanwhile, in the final phase of the anti-anarchist “Scripta Manent” trial, he faced the risk of a life sentence without parole.

The international solidarity movement of 2022–23, which developed during Alfredo’s extremely long hunger strike, shattered the political and repressive balance on which the intent of total annihilation, represented by the combination of 41 bis and a life sentence, was based. At the same time, the movement pierced the veil of silence surrounding a torture prison regime that had previously been untouchable. Finally, last year, 12 anarchists, including Alfredo, were acquitted in Perugia of charges related to publishing a revolutionary anarchist newspaper. The investigation had been a key justification for the transfer to 41 bis.

Banners on the main route to amydaleza detention centre

STATEMENTS FROM PRISONERS INSIDE MIGRANT DETENTION PRISONS:

I came from the sea to the prison. I didn’t do anything. I’ve been locked up for 11 months. And if I go to Egypt, I’ll get arrested. I applied for asylum, it was rejected, I filed an appeal, and I still haven’t received a response. What’s the solution so I can get out of prison? And I don’t want to go back to Egypt because if I do, I’ll be arrested. I asked them for a free lawyer to represent me in the appeal, but they didn’t provide one. There’s a Lebanese citizen with me; his country is at war, and he’s imprisoned with me. If he goes back to his country—where there’s a war—it won’t work; he can’t go back to his country again. We’re dying here. We heard that your country is a land of freedom, so we risked our lives and money to get here, but all we found was subjugation and racism. We are human beings like you, we only need security. We left our countries and now we are being used to build yours.

I came to Amygdaleza in October last year. I spent 8 months there, then they moved me to camp Drama. Here the situation is worse. I had an operation on my leg. Nobody wants to help me. Even when I ask, they don’t allow me to see a doctor. My leg is swollen. I came directly from the sea and I haven’t seen the country yet. I want someone to stand with me and support me.

Joseph FR: Déjacque, La Question révolutionnaire, Lutines Séditions, avril 2026.

Joseph Déjacque, La Question révolutionnaire, Lutines Séditions, avril 2026, 352 pages, 12 euros

Après avoir réédité « Le moindre mal » en septembre dernier, c’est à
présent « La Question révolutionnaire » de Joseph Déjacque (1821-1865) qui ressort dans une version entièrement revue et augmentée chez Lutines Séditions. Ce nouveau recueil contient une trentaine d’articles, pamphlets, lettres, déclarations et poèmes de l’anarchiste, rédigés entre 1851 et 1863, complétés par une vaste introduction biographique.

Poète et ouvrier colleur de papiers peints, le compagnon fut un
contemporain de Heine et de Hugo, de Blanqui et de Marx, de Proudhon et de Bakounine, et pourtant personne ou presque n’a entendu parler de lui, y compris du côté des révolutionnaires. Tout juste sait-on au mieux qu’il a forgé le mot « libertaire », dont il fit le titre d’un journal. Mais qu’en est-il de tout le reste, et pourquoi donc relire Déjacque aujourd’hui, à l’heure où les ravages du capitalisme industriel, du totalitarisme démocratique et de la guerre technologisée ne cessent de nous meurtrir ?

Peut-être simplement pour aller au bout de l’idée anarchiste, celle qui entend détruire tout pouvoir (patriarcal, religieux, bourgeois,
populaire), telle qu’elle a pu être pensée à l’aune d’une expérience
insurrectionnelle, celle de juin 1848. Comme on sort de sa poche une boussole, rouillée par le vent mauvais des civilisés, mais dont les
aiguilles pointent toujours vers un horizon foisonnant de liberté.

Pour toute commande, le livre est disponible dans les bibliothèques et distros habituelles, dont l’éponyme Distro Lutines Séditions, site sur lequel on trouvera également la Table des matières et le quatrième de couverture. On peut aussi écrire à commandes[at]lutineseditions.fr

Athens,Greece: Claim of responsibility for the arson attack on the Israeli ZOIA on Botasi Street in Exarcheia by the “For a Free Palestine” group

May 2026

Palestine continues to struggle. Against a similar attack, which aims to annihilate all human presence, to eliminate every trace of the cultural element of the Palestinian people. A continuous crime against humanity, by the Zionists who continue to extend their occupation of the territory of Palestine every day.

In a parallel universe, the Greek state pretends not to hear, not to see, not to know anything and does not fail to support the crimes of the Zionists in every way for the sake of the “strategic alliance”. It also gives free rein to kidnap, illegally imprison, humiliate and torture European activists, while Greek shipowners conclude agreements with the Zionists unmolested. The big businessmen of tourism are rubbing their hands in the face of the blood money left by the thousands of IDF soldiers who come to this country on vacation. The same goes for the big real estate owners and brokers who enrich themselves with the Israeli capital invested in this country.
