August radio show for Solidarity Week of the Anarchist Radio from Dresden (Germany)

The struggle for a more just world brings anarchists around the world into the clutches of the prison system. It is up to us, the people outside the prisons, to support our comrades.
Especially in the last year of increased isolation due to visitation bans and severe restrictions on contact, it is important to think of people behind bars. You may not know these people, you may not speak their language, and you will most likely never meet them. But by your actions, you show that they are welcome in this world. They are more welcome than prison guards and judges, more welcome than presidents and kings. So let your solidarity flow through the walls of the prisons and fight until all are free!
The radio show is recorded in german language.

Metz, France – Boris hospitalised: call for action and solidarity  

via: lille.indymedia Translated by Act for fredom now!
25 August 2021
Our friend and comrade Boris has been in an induced coma in the burns unit of the Grand Est hospital in Metz since the morning of Saturday 7 August 2021 following a fire in his cell. His condition is life-threatening, his respiratory tract being highly damaged by smoke and ash. A  first skin graft operation will be carried out as soon as his state of health allows it.
Right away, a journalist from Lorraine Actu, Antony Speciale, rushed to take up the version of the facts provided by Fadila Doukhi, regional delegate of the Force Ouvrière prison union.
Priority was given to the vultures of the media of course, the prison did not even bother to inform the family until late in the day, long after publication in the news columns. Not surprisingly, the guards were congratulated for their responsiveness to this event, which had been directly produced by a year’s imprisonment.

Montreuil,France : Smoke signals of solidarity

via: attaque
Last night, we wanted to send a message of solidarity to Boris, an anarchist comrade who is in  coma because of a fire in his cell in the Nancy-Maxèville prison.
In Montreuil gentrification is advancing by leaps and bounds with new buildings for a more affluent population attracted by the extension of the metro. We’re no admirers of the poor slums and traffic-ridden neighbourhoods, a simple form of capitalism, albeit illegal. But the labyrinth of alleys between the small self-built houses has its charm and allows other relationships between the people who live there, less dictated by money. A different relationship to the State too. The winding alleys make video surveillance less effective, which is also advancing in Montreuil (as everywhere in Paname).

Paris, France: Eiffage on fire

via: attaque
On the night of 21-22 August we set fire to an Eiffage van in Paris (rue des Maraîchers)
Prison destroys lives, inside and also after release. It also looms as a threat against the choices of those outside. A threat to those who rebel against this order of things. It is the last bastion of this world against those who fight it, by necessity or choice.

Saint-Sauvant (Vienne): direct action against industrial agriculture

Deux-Sèvres/Vienne: the burning of a construction machine reignites tension on the reservoirs
Centre Presse, 13 August 2021
via: sansnom
On the night of Wednesday 11 to Thursday 12 August 2021, a 23-ton excavator was set on fire on an archaeological excavation site linked to the reservoir project in Saint-Sauvant, a commune in the Vienne department located about four kilometres from the commune of Avon, in the Deux-Sèvres. The excavator belonged to the 2 Sévrienne Service company, located in Saint-Gelais.
The gendarmerie has opened an investigation for criminal damage. The Volvo machine was rented by the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP). The site had started on Monday 9 August 2021. The archaeologists were intervening before the construction of a water storage facility for agricultural irrigation: Saint-Sauvant is part of the project of 16 “reservoirs” to be built along the basin of the Sèvre Niortaise, a project that has been the subject of controversy since 2017.

“A l’heure où dans le monde entier, les conséquences de l’avancée folle de la machine industrielle et technologique se font ressentir chaque jour davantage, où les changements climatiques induits par
l’industrialisation pourraient bien inaugurer des scénarios inouïs qui risquent de reconfigurer drastiquement les assises de la domination, la lutte mapuche dans un coin « perdu » du monde où des habitants et habitantes porteurs de façons de vivre antagonistes avec le capitalisme et l’étatisme se battent pour chaque mètre accaparé et exploité par des entreprises et l’État, peut avoir une signification qui dépasse le territoire du Wallmapu.
