The comrade has been in prison since September 14, 2012, following the repressive operation that led to his arrest and that of another comrade, both accused of having shot and wounded Roberto Adinolfi, the CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare, on May 7 of that year in Genoa. The action, claimed by the Nucleo Olga of Federazione Anarchica Informale – Fronte Rivoluzionario Internazionale (“Informal Anarchist Federation – International Revolutionary Front”), was then claimed individually by the two comrades also during the first degree trial held in Genoa. The comrade had been imprisoned in Ferrara’s AS2 since 2013.

GREECE: STATEMENT BY ANARCHIST GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS AT THE COURT FOR THE ARRESTS IN AGIA PARASKEVI
Once again I face a tribunal that I do not accept to judge my decisions and my actions. I have already stated my position on the State, capital, the established order of inequality and the widespread enslavement and exploitation of people and nature, the gradual transformation of the planet into an immense prison for every living thing. I have opposed the laws that sustain the murderous State order, both in word and deed. I have tried to be consistent in my position vis-à-vis law and order every time I have been dragged into the dock by the organs of its enforcement, not participating in the hypocritical process of every trial that always pretends to validate the State’s control over life and liberty.
I have paid the price of my choices by spending almost 8 years of my life inside penitentiary institutions, which are the centre of the social panopticon, the fear to discipline society and the tool for the reproduction of crime in terms of integration into the dark capitalist economy. Where in the name of the Law the walls suffer a generalized injustice. There in the grey zone of the law where the bones and souls of people are smashed to be thrown away morally and economically broken with no choice but to feed the prison monster with their despair. Providing the perfect alibi for the supposed necessity of the law and the building of the State of society. Of course, the outrages, which, if revealed, are labeled isolated incidents, are actually structural elements of the system and take place under the control or supervision of various officials and servants of the State, the «corrupt» and those who passively tolerate them so as not to jeopardize their positions or careers.

ITALY: RALLY AT SANTA MARIA CAPUA VETERE PRISON IN SOLIDARITY WITH NATASCIA SAVIO

Natascia, an anarchist prisoner, went on hunger strike on June 16 to oppose her transfer to the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison.
She has been transferred several times since her arrest in May 2019, in addition to having her correspondence censored and various other forms of internal pressure. It is evident the will of judges and jailers to distance and isolate her from the solidarity of those who support her from outside and to undermine her determination.
This last transfer takes on an even more indicative value since it occurred in the proximity of the beginning of the trial for Operation Prometheus that has Natascia together with 2 other comrades, accused of having sent explosive packages to the then director of the DAP and to the two public prosecutors Sparagna and Rinaudo.

CHILE: PALABRAS DE MÓNICA CABALLERO DESDE LA CÁRCEL DE SAN MIGUEL.
Compañerxs, amigxs y familiares:
Nuevamente les escribo desde una celda. Me encuentro recluida en la cárcel de San Miguel, durante 14 días permaneceré aislada por protocolo de prevención de contagio al COVID-19, posteriormente me clasificarán y me llevarán a un módulo definitivo.
Ya son casi 10 años desde la primera vez que pisé la cárcel como
imputada. Durante estos años mi vida de alguna u otra manera, siempre ha estado ligada a las prisiones, si bien los sistemas de control pueden cambiar, pero su estructura esencialmente no, se sigue buscando el castigo y el arrepentimiento.

Surplus oder Konsumterror
Dokumentarfilm, ca. 50 Minuten, Englisch mit deutschen Untertiteln
Samstag 3. Juli, 21:00 Uhr
Eine primitivistische Collage welche auf provokante Weise die Leere, den Wahn und auch die ihr zugrundeliegende Ausbeutung der Warenzivilisation aufzeigt; – ebenso wie die der falschen Alternativen des Staatssozialismus, welche der gleichen Lächerlichkeit preisgegeben wird. Ein Zeitzeugnis der frühen 2000er Jahre, welches die Notwendigkeit der Zerstörung dieser Scheisse aufzeigt und als Dokument des radikalen Flügels der Antiglobalisierungsbewegung immer wieder sehenswert ist… Yeaah!
Surplus. Terrorized Into Being Consumers
Documentary, around 50 minutes, english with german subs
Saturday 3rd July, 9p.m.
A primitivist Collage that shows in a provocing way the emptiness, the insanity and also the exploitation underlying the commodity civilisation… as well as that of the false alternatives of state socialism, which are held up for ridicule. A testimony of the early 2000’s that shows the necessity of destroying all that shit and is as a document of the radical wing of the antiglobalization movement allways worth a view… Yeaah!
Abschaffung der Polizei?
Diskussion
Mittwoch, 7. Juli, 19:00 Uhr
Wir wollen über das gegenwärtig immer breiter diskutierte Thema der Abschaffung der Polizei diskutieren und dabei auch den Punkt ausleuchten, ob und inwiefern Abschaffung und Zerstörung vielleicht sogar ein Gegensatz sind…?
Police abolition?
Discussion
Wednesday, 7th July, 7p.m.
We want to discuss about the presently ever wider discussed topic of Police Abolition and thereby focus on the point if and inhowfar abolition and destruction are maybe even opposites…?
Falsche Kritiker von links und rechts
Diskussion
Samstag, 10. Juli, 20:00 Uhr
Wir wollen an diesem Abend in Augenschein nehmen, wie linke und rechte Akteure sich in der derzeitigen Situation aufstellen und inwiefern durch diese falschen Gegensätze gerade dem der Boden genommen wird, was sich jenseits dieses politischen Geschwafels und Demonstrierens abspielen könnte. Denn weder die Wiedereinführung der alten, noch die gerechte Verwaltung der neuen Normalität kann jene befriedigen, die wirkliche Freiheit wollen.
False critics from left and right
Discussion
Saturday, 10th July, 8p.m.
On this evening we want to have a look at how leftwing and rightwing agents position themselves in the current situation and inhowfar through this false opposites the ground is taken away for something that could play out beyond this political brabbling and protesting. Because neither the reintroduction of the old, nor the just management of the new normality can satisfy those that want genuine freedom

“Mais ce qui frappe aussi, est que les formes infinies
d’auto-organisation qui auraient pu surgir des singularités
individuelles pour faire face au virus et continuer d’agir malgré lui,
aient été d’emblée comme paralysées par des sables mouvants de
recommandations contradictoires et de chiffres assommants : taux de mortalité et de létalité, taux de positivité, taux d’incidence, taux de passage aux urgences et d’occupation en réanimation, taux d’anticorpspersistants, taux de réinfection… et ainsi de suite. Cela met à nouveau en évidence qu’en se plaçant sur le terrain de la politique des grands nombres plutôt qu’en partant de soi –avec ses doutes comme avec ses désirs enflammés–, la réflexion finit généralement par s’embourber dans une logique gestionnaire, où le calcul productif prend vite la place de la vie et de ses excès dispersifs.
Pour briser le schéma même qui préside à toute réduction statistique de la complexité humaine, faire exister de l’unicité au-delà des moyennes et recréer de la diversité en défaisant les agrégats de données, il n’y a pas trente-six solutions.
C’est le terrain même où chaque individu est sommé de
s’incliner face à un intérêt supérieur collectif qu’il s’agit de
refuser. C’est son propre rapport sensible à la vie, à la mort, à la
maladie, aux risques à prendre, à l’entr’aide, aux étoiles à cueillir,
qu’il s’agit de défendre face à l’exigence sociale de les sacrifier sur
l’autel de la quantité. Que cette dernière se nomme patrie, économie, bien commun… ou même immunité collective.

“Dirty Pig”: the car of a municipal policeman of Tours tagged and damaged by fire
France Bleu, June 25, 2021 (extract)
A municipal policeman of Tours, living about twenty kilometers from Tours, has been in shock since Wednesday night when an attempt was made to set fire to his personal car, around 2 am. A “tag” was also left on his hood, “dirty pig”, an inscription “in the form of a scratch with a key, or a screwdriver” he explains.
*Remi was asleep when his wife was awakened by noises coming from outside his house, around 2am. She first saw a bright orange color, similar to flames. When he went outside, *Remi did not see anyone, but smelled a strong odor of gasoline. He then saw traces of attempted fire on his vehicle, as well as impacts on the window, proof that the passenger window was forced, also without result.
