Anarchist prisoner Marianna Manoura : Those Who Fuel Violence Are the First to Condemn Those Who Struggle. (Greece)

On 9/5, the extension of my pre-trial detention and that of my other co-defendants has been officially received. However, the decision was made months earlier, on 31/10, when the anti-terrorist police instructed the investigator to attribute the maximum charges to a highly inflated indictment.

Nevertheless, I will not focus on the decision of the Athens Misdemeanor Court Council – what council would take responsibility for releasing a defendant of the anti-terrorism police? – as well as the proposal and argumentation of the Athens Misdemeanor Prosecutor, Sotiris Bougioukos, who even rushed a whole month before the end of the semester to prove his obedience to the anti-terrorism law by assembling and proposing an abortive report, both for me and for the rest of the co-defendants. By rehashing the words of the anti-terrorist police, he simply repeats its position, revealing his indifference and the predetermined strategy followed by the dictatorship.

On the case of the bomb explosion in a bank in Thessaloniki where my former co-defendant S. Paraskevaidou lost her life – Fotis Tziotzis (Greece)

“Lies were told that even they themselves were ashamed, since they were not ashamed of the mouths that told them.”

All these days I have been watching the vile and unsubstantiated ridiculousness from the media slugs.

At first I thought that because of their low intelligence, I thought that these people could not put the facts in the right order. But now I now realize that some higher ups in the system are using them to shape-distort the truth and facts. It is a very dangerous and standard tactic used by the government media to mislead the public and impose their political agenda. Without of course in any way comparing cases, it is the same people who dare to slander the relatives of the victims of Tempi and cover up the case. It’s us they think we’re easy targets they’ll stick to; but are we?

On the 3rd of May 2025, at 5 am in the morning, Snizana Paraskevaidou lost her life because of the premature detonation of an explosive device she was placing outside a branch of the National Bank of Greece in Thessaloniki. The tragic death of this comrade lead to a widespread media terror-lust and so far, two arrests and the search of the cell of imprisoned anarchist comrade Fotis Tziotzis. We recognise and remember Snizana as a fighter and a heroine who died in battle, whose name and life is not forgotten.

Re-Opening of Meuterei – in memory of Kyriakos Xymitiris (Berlin,Germany)

By reopening Meuterei one more time we want to bring to the present those collective momentsthat brought closer the idea that other worlds are possible. Also we choose Meuterei becauseKyriakos was part of this collective. One of our spaces that got evicted 4 years ago. A placethat was not only a bar, it was a place of collective meeting and sharing; a place where social and political events where organized; a place to celebrate our friendship and comradeship.

With this action we want to commemorate that for a long time Kyriakos walked together with us in the struggles of Berlin. Together we defended our selforganized spaces and we fought against the process of gentrification that consum this city and changes it social geography benefiting some, while expelling the poor and marginalized people. Through Interkiezionale we confronted this process fighting together with other collectives against evictions. We stood against the establishment of, so called, danger zones that only pretend to secure while oppress those who don’t fit in the standards of a hipster- and touristified city We fought in the streets to reclaim our subversive and political ideas through the defence of Liebig34, Syndikat, Potse, Meuterei, Kopi Wagenplatz and Rigaer 94. We remember those times with nostalgia, but also with the powerful thoughts that if one time we were able to confront the State and his mercenaries with fierceness, we can and we will do it again.

(Chile) Claim for Explosive Attack on Abbot-Recalcine Laboratories, Black May 2025

Claim for Explosive Attack on Abbot-Recalcine Laboratories, Black May 2025

“The poor moan,
no one hears them.
Using arms,
now they hear them”

Women form gangs! This action isn’t an act of protest, much less of clemency; it is deliberately an act of vengeance. A few years ago the distribution of defective contraceptive pills by Abbott-Recalcine laboratories caused hundreds of unwanted pregnancies. Given this situation, the companies responsible proposed a compensation of $38,900 pesos, not even close to half of what it took us to make this explosive device. Although many disagree with the method of action, let’s at least agree that the sum offered is yet another mockery on the part of the democratic dictatorship.

The Andrómaco, Silesia and Abbott laboratories continue to make these practices company policy: they keep distributing defective contraceptives. Nothing new at all. Forseeably, both the business groups and the state run by Boric’s feminist pluri-police government and the rapist Monsalve remain silent. They are only interested in reproducing the cycle of poverty because, in essence, capitalism manages life and death for the systematic generation of wealth regardless of the damage it may cause.

(Chile) On the Demo for Comrade Mauricio Morales and the 81 Prisoners Killed in the Fire at San Miguel Prison


10/05/2025:

Against all odds… In memory of anarchist comrade Mauricio Morales and the 81 prisoners killed by the state in the fire at San Miguel prison.

Without leaders, nor managers, without fear of rain or police snooping, with anarchist pride high, we gathered different individuals in front of San Miguel prison to remember Punki Mauri. Remembering it right there, in front of the jailers, spreading its memory and continuing to sow offensive positions against Power is what we desire and what we do.

(Thessaloniki,Greece) TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCENDIARY ATTACK AT A COP’S HOUSE

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCENDIARY ATTACK AT A COP’S HOUSE

The landscape is constantly changing. Global and domestic developments constantly bring us before the lens of war, filling us with fear and uncertainty. Redistribution of wealth, “neighboring” wars, inflation and so many other words that constantly pound our minds in daily news headlines. Nothing can remind us of the golden decades of yesterday while the future looks bleak. Greece, through its strategic geopolitical position, is not absent from the sphere of global developments. As a member country of N.A.T.O it serves its part for the great powers, while at the same time, trying to combat “domestic enemies”, it tightens its repressive measures.

In recent years, we have observed an extreme form of escalation of the arrogant violence of the state and its institutions. One political
scandal follows another, while the state-parastate connection is more evident than ever. The cost of political responsibility is an illusory dream of the past, as everything is unfolding before our eyes. Trafficking circuits, pedophile circuits, illicit construction deals,
natural disasters that reveal corruption in infrastructure projects,
privatization of state wealth, photographic laws for the persecution of activists and so much more that weave the web of a deep state, which is intertwined in all its individual parts and creates a mafia state.

SAINT-JEAN-DE-MAURIENNE (SAVOIE) : SABOTAGE of LYON-TURIN  TGV construction site

[Received by mail, 9 April 2025]

Because it’s beautiful

The mountain has neither a mouth nor limbs to defend itself.

At the beginning of this spring 2025 at Saint Jean de Maurienne, severe damage was done to the conveyors transporting entrails sackaged from the mountain, as well as some building machinery, to put them out of their harmful action. This damage was accompanied by the messages « TELT fuck off »* and « Useless Project ».

We opposed ourselves to the new Lyon Turin TGV line and claim this damage whose aim is clear: to slow down the building sites, discourage the project managers and encourage opposition. Continue reading SAINT-JEAN-DE-MAURIENNE (SAVOIE) : SABOTAGE of LYON-TURIN  TGV construction site →

(Thessaloniki,Greece) Attack against ATM ,dedicate the action to comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris by anarchists

In a situation where state repression is intensifying at all levels,
cops are everywhere checking compliance with the doctrine of “law and order”; cameras are popping up left and right in the context of both social control and the defense of property; public space is shrinking more and more; and the condition of general sterilization of our lives is established, it is our duty to attack with all our means, causing cracks in the sovereignty of the state.

As anarchists, we have not stopped pursuing – step by step – the fundamental destruction of the existent, through a multifaceted struggle. A struggle that starts from the smallest and ends in the largest, with Anarchy as its goal. A struggle, on the path of which, comrades have gone through torture and prison, while others have perished with its flame within them.

NO SQUATTER IN PRISON! Campaign for the court expenses of Koukaki Squats Community (Athens,Greece)

It was March 2017 when we first opened the door of 45 Matrozou str. and began repairing the building so that it could house our struggles, desires, needs and bodies. And when these, a few months later, could no longer fit in one building we opened two more buildings that were rotting abandoned in the neighborhood of Koukaki, 21 Panaitoliou str. and the Blue House (3 Arvali str.). This is how Koukaki Squats Community was created in the center of Athens.

From then until 2020, Koukaki Squats Community had been a political community that combined anarchist struggle with communal life. The doors of its houses were open for those who wished to fight back against state violence and injustice, for people who needed shelter or wished to use its public structures, for those who sought a collective way of life. It was also an open political and social space accessible to the inhabitants of one of the most gentrified neighborhoods in Athens. Τhe community participated in struggles of the squatting and anti-fascist movement, in solidarity with political prisoners, against gender violence, patriarchy, racism, exploitation of nature, against the gentrification of the neighborhood and the privatization of the nearby Philopappos Hill. In addition to political assemblies and events that were hosted, a number of public structures were operating in the houses, such as a lending library,public baths & laundries and a free clothing bazaar.

The Trial of Ruslan Sidiki in Ryazan

Tuesday May 13, a panel of judges from the 2nd Western District Military Court began substantive hearings in Ryazan in the case against anarchist Ruslan Sidiki, who is charged under “terrorism” articles for two attacks on military infrastructure

Ruslan Sidiki was brought into the courtroom in shackles, which were not removed even inside the defendant’s cage. There were 10 bailiffs present in the room, some of them armed with rifles. As one attendee noted: “The level of security was like the Kremlin.” Prosecutor Boris Motorin requested that the trial be held behind closed doors, claiming that it would include “methods of conducting terrorist activities” and details about the Dyagilevo military airbase, which Sidiki allegedly attempted to attack. He also argued that investigative techniques might be disclosed. However, defense attorney Igor Popovsky and Sidiki himself objected, stating that the case materials contain no state secrets. Judge Oleg Shishov denied the prosecutor’s request but banned photo, video, and audio recordings.

During the first hearing:
-The prosecutor read out the charges.
-Four representatives of the victims were questioned.
-Part of the written case materials was read.

The Trial of Ruslan Sidiki — Day 2, May 14

The hearing ran from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with a break for lunch. The prosecutor read out written case materials, and three witnesses were questioned. Two of them were local residents who could not provide any significant testimony.

Anarchist Alexey Rozhkov sentenced to 16 years for setting fire to a military enlistment office

Rozhkov carried out the third known arson attack on a military enlistment office following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army. He committed the act on March 11, 2022, as a form of protest and a way to draw attention to the situation. In an interview Ivan Astashin conducted with Alexey in December 2022 — when he had managed to flee to Kyrgyzstan — the anarchist explained his motivation:

“I just understood that I couldn’t stay indifferent. (…) Any war means death for ordinary, simple people. War in the 21st century seems completely alien to me. Especially with such absurd reasons [they gave]. We annexed Crimea in 2014, and even then I said it was all done in vain. Crimea is not ours and never will be. There will be consequences. And that’s exactly what happened.

Russia: Radical resistance 15.03 – 30.04.2025

Bryansk : On the night of 18 April, Yevgeny Rytikov, head of the design bureau of the Bryansk Electromechanical Plant, was liquidated in Bryansk. He was responsible for the development and modernisation of REB and electronic intelligence systems for the Russian army, including the Krasukha complex.

His car was blown up with an IED. The explosive device under the bottom of the car went off as the man was getting into the cabin with his colleague. Both died on the spot.

Samara region

On the night of 18 to 19 April, unknown persons set fire to the administration building of Koshkinskiy district, Samara region.

The fire started in the office of housing and communal services and construction – furniture, equipment and documents were burnt. The resulting fire was extinguished for 1.5 hours. Gloves and a plastic cover were found on the spot. Despite the fact that there were surveillance cameras on the building of the district administration, it was not possible to establish the identity of the arsonist, as he knew about their ‘blind spots’ in advance.
