About the wave of raids on 24.3 in Berlin and beyond. (Germany)

Tuesday, March 24th several raids took place simultaneously in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Kyritz (Brandenburg). Between 5.45 a.m. and 6 a.m. cops entered many private flats as well as the Anarchist Library Kalabl!k in Berlin-Kreuzberg, Infoladen Scherer8 in Berlin-Wedding and the Späti L5 in Berlin-Neukölln. Cops also searched cars and bikes.

The warrants allege that a criminal organisation of at least four people formed in 2025, to supposedly commit unconstitutional sabotage (verfassungsfeindliche Sabotage), i.e. the arson of a pylon at 9.9.25 which led to an energy-blackout in the technology-park in Adlershof.  The warrants were issued on a range of dates, from end of last year to one week ago. The raids were done to four accused, some of their family members and to “witnesses” (Zeugen), in Hamburg and Düsseldorf family members where raided. The warrants neither explain why these four people are accused nor what their alleged connection is. Continue reading About the wave of raids on 24.3 in Berlin and beyond. (Germany) →

Continued some of the updates from the 2nd trial of the ”Ampelokipi case(Athens,Greece)

 

Continued some of the updates from the 2nd trial of the ”Ampelokipi case [02/04]

Shortly after 08:00, the transfer of the comrades took place and the trial began at 09:00 in room D5.

Another prosecution witness was examined, the owner of an apartment on the same floor in the apartment building, but who did not live there. The questions from the court focused on 3 things:

1 The condition of the apartment building, and the extent of the damage

2 Whether TERNA’s work has progressed

3 Who covers the costs of hosting the residents of the apartment building in hotels?

The witness focused on the extent of the damage and the institutionalization (!) she is now experiencing in the hotel. The latter is a blatant lie, since she did not live in her apartment on Arcadia Street before the explosion! She does not know any of the accused persons, nor the owner, nor did she notice any strange movements the days previously.

Ampelokipoi Case – 3rd Hearing – 04/03/2026 (detailed report)

The day began with the examination of the remaining witness for the prosecution. The witness is the owner of apartment C7. In response to questions from the presiding chamber, he estimated the total damage to his apartment at between 5,000 and 10,000 euros. He also stated that the issue of structural stability may have been raised by TERNA, without them having been provided with a copy of any technical report. The witness does not know who commissioned the TEE report or who handled the procedures for issuing the building permit. The witness confirmed that there are open shops on the ground floor of the apartment building and expressed the opinion that, theoretically, there is a structural stability issue in the event of an earthquake.

He also confirmed that the crew working on the restoration of the apartment building is small. Continue reading Athens: Brief updates of the first day and the 2 day and detailed report of Ampelokipi Case – 3rd Hearing – April 3, of the start of the “Ampelokipi case” trial. (Greece) →

Thessaloniki : Attack responsibility upheaval by Anarchists (Greece)

In the early hours of Monday, February 9, we smashed the window of the Protergia store at 183 Gr. Lambraki Street. The reason we chose this particular target is obvious. Electricity bills are getting higher every month, so that energy barons (such as Mytilineos) can get rich off our backs, exploiting our needs. The price of energy has become an economic game on the stock market over who will make the most, while the poor live in destitution, battered by the rot of this system.

The successive crises (real or fictitious) of the state and capital are taking their toll on the social and class base. It is no coincidence that during “critical” periods, as the state labels them, companies like Protergia increase their turnover and profits. The high cost of supermarket prices, rent, and electricity makes daily life a struggle for survival.

With Sara and Sandrone, with heads held high. About the initiative in Rome on March 29th 2026 (Italy)

We are putting together and publishing some short texts and images from the initiative of domenica 29 marzo a Roma [Sunday March 29 in Rome] in memory of the anarchist comrades Sara Ardizzone e Alessandro Mercogliano. In spite of the attempt to block the morning’s appointment, a demonstration was held in the early afternoon leaving from the Quarticciolo. All those arrested in the morning (at least 91) were taken to the immigration office of Rome police station and released in the evening. Yet again, the day of Sunday showed the attempts of the repressive forces to isolate Sara and Sandro – first by unleashing a mass-media campaign aimed (in vain) at undermining their integrity, then systematically trying to block the moments and initiatives in their memory – but did not obtain the desired effect. Soon we will also be publishing other texts and images of 29 March in Rome.

On 19/3 in Rome, during a preparatory action, the anarchists Sara Ardizone and Alessandro Mercoliano lost their lives. As a minimal sign of honor and memory to the comrades, the first banner was hung with reference to them. Also, as a sign of solidarity with the struggle of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika and the hunger strike of Aristotle Chantzis, the second banner was hung with relevant content.

(Greece) If We Are Afraid Today, We Will Be Afraid Tomorrow and Forever – Dimitra Zarafeta

If We Are Afraid Today, We Will Be Afraid Tomorrow and Forever 

It took 512 days for the authorities to finally decide that it was time to try our case, the Ampelokipi case. Just one breath before the end of the 18-month period. Not because the investigative process was truly endless, nor because new evidence was constantly emerging in the meantime. From the very first moment, the facts were more or less the same.

The choice, however, to set the trial at the last minute was neither accidental nor procedural. It was a purely political choice, a conscious method so that the process would run on a fast track and the desired decision would be produced, with the same speed. Nevertheless, in this last text of mine before the trial, I will not dwell in detail on the practices and methods that the judicial authorities employ against us. These are already known to anyone who wants to see them.

BERLIN: ALONGSIDE OUR COMRADES SARA AND SANDRONE (Germany)

Sometimes our life places us before a choice; and sometimes that choice asks everything of us.
Our comrades have dedicated their lives to fighting oppression, in the name of a better world for all, free from domination and exploitation.
We remain by their side, today and forever, carrying their struggle into the streets again and again, and holding their strength, their courage, and their unbreakable determination in our hearts.
Our comrades have fallen for an ideal, an ideal in which we continue to belive with stubborn resolve, with all our hearts and all our strength.

For this reason, Sara and Sandrone, nothing is over…everything continues, until we see rise that beautiful sun called Anarchy.

I Defend, I Don’t Apologize by anarchist Marianna Manoura (Greece)

In the midst of revelations of all kinds of government scandals and the participation of the Greek state in the war unleashed by the US and Israel against Iran, the repressive mechanism decided to deal with the “internal enemy”. Three weeks before the first hearing, we were notified of the start of our trial. On April 1 and one month before the end of the 18-month period, the process begins. A process based on an obviously inflated indictment where it is obvious that four of the five defendants have nothing to do with or knew about what was going to happen on 31/10. The court’s focus, however, is not exclusively to highlight the otherwise well-used tactics of the anti-terrorist unit, but to defend the memory of the revolutionary Kyriakos Xymitiris and the armed means of resistance he decided to adopt against this cannibalistic system.

From the very beginning, the prosecuting authorities with the counter-terrorism at the helm saw this specific case as an ideal event to open yet another fan of persecutions and imprisonments of people. The apparent inability of the anti-terrorism police to establish even a pretextually credible indictment held us all hostage, with requests to terminate the temporary detention being rejected in all the interim judicial councils (six months and twelve months) with flimsy justifications. The case was thus kept open, in the absence of any new evidence to justify it, with the councils’ dismissive reasoning self-refuting at points, trying to find a new narrative in order to exhaust the limit of pre-trial detention for all the defendants, thus attempting to satisfy two goals: on the one hand, the consolidation of state vindictiveness and on the other hand, the maintenance of the narrative of a terrorist organization. An organization without a name, without a history, without action, without even a substance, the invention of which serves on the one hand spectacular-communicational reasons, but also a serious upgrade of the indictment that carries the risk of lethal penalties.

 Contributions from Eat (Reyhard Rumbayan) and a video: ‘From the Carcass of a Rotting World’ with english subtitlles for the solidarity info night 24th of March in south London, UK, about the repression after the uprising across the Indonesian archipelago.

I am a detainee in what is being called the “Chaos Star” case. I was
arrested in Makassar on September 23rd, 2025, by West Java Regional Police, along with dozens of counterterrorism units from Densus 88.

I have been accused of being the mastermind behind the spontaneous uprisings that took place between August and September across several cities in Indonesia, particularly Jakarta and Bandung. The authorities also accuse me of inciting acts of vandalism, and of orchestrating a bombing at a police post in West Java in December 2024.

An idea of freedom. For Sara and Sandro by Biblioteca Anarchica Disordine(Italy)

2026/03/26 

That Sara and Sandro’s gesture was the decisive affirmation of the “here and now”, we can only imagine. As anarchists and comrades we feel a strong need to stand by them and defend them from anyone who allows themself to slander them. And we are in no doubt that revolutionary violence is part of anarchism and an antiauthoritarian idea that would uproot every kind of oppression and hierarchy. An idea that expresses itself with many varied methods and which, when it decides to use violence, never strikes in the heap but aims its attack against oppression and who and what constitutes one of its gears.

Against the new war in Iran, against peace that sets the ground for war.

The joint attack of Israel and the USA against Iran on the 28th of February 2026 is what comes next after the so-called “12-day war” of June 2025, when Israel attacked Iran with the help of the USA. In that phase of the war, the Zionist regime attacked, thus escalating the situation and limiting whatever scenario of “mild” resolution to the open issues concerning the Iranian state such as its nuclear program. The June war actually formed the terms and the political context to prepare and set off the current “episode”, which includes the greatest part of the ambitions of the American-Israeli coalition. Under the doctrine of “precautionary war”, which has been announced since the beginning of 2025 by the Israeli state claiming a sort of justification for its military operations in the name of calculated (and not manifested) dangers and threats.

The war that sparked on 28/2, attempts to form a new geopolitical geography in the broader area of the Middle East. At the top of their priorities lies to overthrow the Iranian regime, so that the danger for Israel coming from its neighboring states can be completely eliminated. Not long ago Iran was the pillar of the so-called “axis of resistance” against the aims of Israel and the USA. Apart from that common goal, the two ally states could establish their interests in the broader area since the Arab states (on various levels) have made agreements with Israel (bearing at the same time a close cooperation with the USA) and practically submit to its pursuits.

Interview with the “Solidarity is the Way”

We are publishing an interview with a solidarity network that helps refugees a deserters from Ukraine. Visit the initiative’s website for more information. solidarityactivities.noblogs.org

/ Русский / український / Česky / Español / Italiano / Ελληνικά /

1) Your initiative helps people fleeing the war in Ukraine. Why do you help these people in particular?

Mutual aid is a fundamental factor in our lives. And because we cannot help everyone, we help primarily where we have the resources and capacity to do so. We also realize that inter-imperialist tensions are escalating in various parts of the world. War may soon come to the places where we now live. But it’s not just about empathy. It’s also very practical. If we show solidarity with people in war zones, it is part of the process of self-organization of the working class, which opposes wars and their possible escalation into another world war. The ruling classes of all imperialist blocs have their Continue reading Interview with the “Solidarity is the Way” →

Claim of responsibility for incendiary attacks on cops’ houses by Anarchist Cell ‘Lambros Fountas’ (Athens, Greece)

We claim responsibility for the incendiary attacks on the homes of the MAT unit (riot police) at 12 Athanaton Street in Sepolia, on February 9, where Andreas Poligenis resides, and at 4-6 Teas Street in Kaisariani on February 24, as well as at the home of a cop from the OPKE unit [Crime Prevention and Suppression Unit] at 18 Deligianni Street in Exarcheia on March 7. We dedicate these actions to the memory of our anarchist comrade and member of Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas, who fell fighting in an armed clash in Dafni on March 10, 2010. Lambros was a exemplary fighter who advanced the multifaceted struggle with social revolution as its goal. He participated in every aspect of anarchist action, from assemblies, marches, and clashes with the forces of repression to revolutionary armed struggle.

The reasons why we carried out the above attacks are self-evident: we are striking back at those who trample on our dreams. To those who rape people at police stations, to those who mercilessly beat up migrants, to those who protect crooks like the “illustrious” Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, who has dismantled the National Health System, to those who crush strikes and marches, such as the one on 10/31 in honor of the anarchist, armed guerrilla Kyriakos Xymiteris. There must be no truce with those who suppress our lives.
