6 Months Undead. Liebig is Everywhere! (Germany , Berlin)

Six months since Liebig 34, as the constellation of the haus on the corner of Liebigstrasse and Rigaerstrasse, ceased to exist. Six months since years of struggle culminated in an eviction in the morning, a riot in the evening, countless other acts of solidarity -including an attack on the ringbahn which left it out of service for days- and ultimately the loss of a global symbol of anarcho-queer-
feminism.
But six months on and Liebig lives; in Bristol where last week a demonstration -following the kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard by a Metropolitican police officer- against gendered violence and a new authoritarian policing bill escalated into a night of violence against the police; in London where the same struggle resulted in the occupation of a disused police station; in Mexico City on International Women’s day, where militant feminists broke down the fence surrounding the National Palace and set fire to the riot cops‘ shields; in the last week in Berlin where the eviction of Meuterei and the ongoing threat to Rigaer 94, Potse, Koepi Wagenplatz and other projects saw demonstrating and attacks. With the haus gone Liebig is at once nowhere and everywhere.

A los pueblos, individuxs, comunidades y territorios en lucha y resistencia.
A quienes se rebelan ante este presente de opresión y miseria.
A nuestras manadas, familias, amigxs, complicidades, compañerxs y amores repartidos por el mundo.
A todxs!!:
Hoy lunes 22 de Marzo, siendo las 00.00hrs en Santiago de Chile, lxs prisionerxs de la guerra social:
– Mónica Caballero Sepúlveda en la cárcel femenina de San Miguel.
– Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda,
– Joaquín García Chanks,

– Francisco Solar Domínguez en la sección de máxima seguridad.
– Pablo Bahamondes Ortiz,
– José Ignacio Duran Sanhueza,

– Salida a la kalle del kompañero Marcelo Villarroel y de todxs lxs prisionerxs subversivxs, anarquistas, de la liberación mapuche y de la revuelta!!!
De modo simple es que no haya retroactividad en la modificación de la ley que regula la «libertad condicional». Y que ésta vuelva a ser un derecho adquirido de la persona presa y no un beneficio como hoy lo estipula la ley transformada permanentemente en función de la razón de estado para mantener secuestradxs a quienes luchan contra la normalidad de lo existente.

Chile – Words from anarchist comrade Marcelo Villaroel

25th March 2021
On the constant struggle against reclusion and the war to the death against the prison society and those who support it
To live resisting reclusion for days, weeks, months, years, whole decades is a constant and millimetric struggle against those who keep us behind bars, strengthening our will to persist and keep going. These caged days are not a simple picture of reclusion but rather the everyday struggle of a prisoner where there is no real resistance without concrete praxis, no matter how words embellish falsified reality with the skills of a scriptwriter.
A long inalienable path of conflict against every authority, inside and outside the conflict, continuing a practice of combat written in rebel and subversive blood, insurrectional and autonomous, warrior blood of word and action. Because by sustaining a constant confrontation with the world of power and merchandise, authority and borders, State, prison and capital, we give continuity to the memory of attack of the libertarian autonomous subversive resistance of the last 25 years.

Solidarity Means Attack

BUTCHER SHOP TARGETTED BY THE ALF IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE BRISTOL RIOTERS. 4th April, Bristol UK.

received anonymously via encrypted email:
“In the early hours of the 4th of April we paid a visit to the butchers shop in Hanham, Bristol. Every available shutter,door and wall was painted with slogans such as “scum” “ALF” “go vegan” and “meat kills”.
A small side window was also gleefully smashed! We can’t fully comprehend the pain and suffering animals go through on farms and in slaughterhouses so instead we take action for them. Together we can bankrupt animal abusers and create a better world.
Action dedicated to the Bristol rioters – hurt cops not animals!
ALF”

Anarchist Leonardo Landi released from Sollicciano prison (Italy, March 25, 2021)

Every now and then a good news: yesterday, March 25, 2021, our comrade Leonardo Landi was released from Sollicciano prison (Florence) for the end of his sentence. We embrace him again with affection, and with unchanged anger against all prisons!
As long as even one is behind bars, we will never be free!
Anti-Repression Fund of the Western Alps [Cassa AntiRepressione delle Alpi occidentali]
Note: Anarchist Leonardo Landi was arrested on February 26, 2019 following a cassation sentence related to a trial for a robbery that took place in 2007, for which some anarchists were arrested and investigated in the context of the “Ardesia” repressive operation. He was convicted to a residual sentence of 2 years and 8 months. The other convicted defendants served their sentences. During these years he was imprisoned in Lucca, Vibo Valentia and Sollicciano (Florence) prisons.

General News Action Sabotage, solidarity in Greece

Athens Greece: Viktoria area has a new squatted social center-Ζιζάνια on Fylis and Feron ( ELLINIKA/ ENGLISH/ FRANÇAIS/ TURKISH/ فارسی/ اردو/ عربى/)

original text from :athens.indymedia.
and updates: 4.4.21
The first day of zizanio has come to an end! The corner of Fylis and Ferron was filled with life by solidarians who supported the projects, neighboors who came to meet and greet and bypassers who contributed to our effort to gather first need products. The attendance and participation of the people invited as well as of the people who spontaneously approached the space was of great practical and sentimental value to each and everyone of us! The need to support the project continues especially during the first days which are crucial for both its progress and in terms of repression. Our rendez-vous is renewed for (today) 4/4 from 10.00 for collective works in our new space.
P.S. Our most immediate need is furniture(tables, chairs, carpets, cushions)

Στην Φυλής και Φερών η Βικτώρια έχει ένα νέο κατειλημμένο κοινωνικό χώρο. Ένας χώρος για την αυτοοργάνωση της γειτονιάς, για κοινωνικές παρεμβάσεις, για συλλογική αντίσταση και για την οικοδόμηση μιας κοινότητας.
Ας συναντηθούμε στο χώρο αυτό για να ανταλλάξουμε σκέψεις και ανησυχίες, φαγητό, καφέ και ρούχα και για οποίον άλλο λόγο μπορούμε να φανταστούμε. Για χαριστικά παζάρια και δωρεάν κουρέματα, για προβολές και καφενεία, για αυτομορφώσεις και διάβασμα, για workshops και συνελεύσεις. Να χαρούμε το χώρο αυτό ως ένα βήμα προς την απελευθέρωση όλο και περισσότερων δημόσιων χώρων, να αρπάξουμε την αρχή αυτή ως αυτές/οί που διαμορφώνουν και ορίζουν τους αγώνες τους και τις ζωές τους. Αυτές/οί που δεν περιμένουν από άλλους ανθρώπους ή θεσμούς, που δεν αναμένουν κάποιες πιο ευνοϊκές συνθήκες για να πράξουν.
Με τα Ζιζάνια σκοπεύουμε να δημιουργήσουμε ένα ζωντανό χώρο μακριά από τη ρατσιστική, σεξιστική, καπιταλιστική βία του κράτους και της σημερινής κοινωνίας. Οραματιζόμαστε ένα χώρο αλληλεπίδρασης μεταξύ ατόμων διαφορετικών καταγωγών, ταυτοτήτων, ηλικιών, γλωσσών, απόψεων. Τις συνθήκες αυτές πρέπει να τις δημιουργήσουμε και να τις διαφυλάξουμε όλες/οι μαζί, συναντώντας η μία τον άλλο, δυναμώνοντας τις συντροφικές μας σχέσεις, διασυνδέοντας τις κοινοτητές μας και τους αγώνες μας. Για πολύ καιρό ονειρευόμασταν κάτι τέτοιο -σίγουρα δεν είμαστε οι μόνες/οι- και τώρα ήρθε η ώρα να πράξουμε. Με τις σκέψεις αυτές, σας προσκαλούμε να αναδείξετε τα δικά σας ζητήματα, να καταθέσετε τις δικές σας ιδέες, να αρχίσετε τις δικές σας πρωτοβουλίες και τους αγώνες και να συνδιαμορφώσουμε όλα μαζί το χώρο και τις λειτουργίες του.
Η Βικτώρια είναι ο τόπος που ζούμε και συναντιόμαστε και με τον έναν ή τον άλλο τρόπο βρεθήκαμε στους αγώνες της γειτονιάς. Ζώντας στη Βικτώρια έχουμε παρατηρήσει και βιώσει την πολυεπίπεδη κρίση που εξελίσσεται γύρω μας: οικονομική πίεση, μαύρη εργασία, ρατσιστική βία, καταρρέον σύστημα υγείας, περιορισμοί κυκλοφορίας και μια γενικότερη ψυχολογική κατάσταση φόβου και ανασφάλειας. Σε αυτή τη συγκεκριμένη γειτονιά, η φασιστική στροφή της Ελλάδας και της Ευρώπης είναι κάτι παραπάνω από εμφανής: εθνικιστική ρητορική, στρατιωτικοποίηση των δρόμων και των δημόσιων χώρων μας, ρατσιστική βία στο σχολικό περιβάλλον, στην χαμηλόμισθη εργασία, στη ζωή στο δρόμο και καταστολή οποιασδήποτε αντίστασης.

Italy : Your sentence doesn’t trouble us

1st April 2021
Your sentence doesn’t trouble us
Everything began in defence of the earth, in defence of a centuries-old campaign, in defence of the memories which that land aroused in the hearts of many inhabitants of the area. A struggle against TAP, SNAM, against the companies which through their great works have become owners of land, legalized usurpers.
Everything that has remained of a struggle that didn’t stop for almost two years, where day after day, night after night, we gave our all to prevent or slow down a devastation announced by the coming of TAP, are 77 years of sentences handed out at the end of a trial farce, where it seems that two years of struggle against TAP have transformed themselves into a struggle against the Lecce police, against the digos.

We call for actions of all kinds, convinced that insurrectional/subversive solidarity will get our brother/sisters and compas out of prison.
In the night of March 28, in the Almagro district [in the centre of Buenos Aires] we set fire to barricades and interrupted citizen normality, while dodging the watchful eyes of the police.
