(Indonesia) Update Tahanan Anarkis May Day Bandung 2026 / Freedom for Mpe and the Mayday defendants

One of the detainees arrested during the May Day 2026 protests in Bandung, RR alias Mpe, who was previously accused of being the “leader of an anarchist group,” has now been charged by the police under terrorism laws. He has also reportedly been placed in isolation and denied access to legal counsel of his own choosing, raising serious concerns over the violation of a suspect’s right to provide testimony freely and without coercion, intimidation, or pressure.

In this case, the police appear to be employing the same narrative pattern used during last August’s unrest: identifying a supposed “mastermind,” “leader,” or individual believed to have planned and orchestrated the riots. Law enforcement authorities maintain that prosecuting those considered to be the driving force behind unrest can prevent similar incidents from recurring in the future. In practice, however, such an approach has often functioned as an authoritarian mechanism for criminalizing groups deemed disruptive to political stability, while simultaneously diverting public attention away from structural grievances and redirecting it toward specific individuals.

Unexpected Items, anarchist paper of beautiful inconviniences. Issue 2. (London)

EDITORIAL

In these pages, our second issue of hissing vitriol to hit the streets of London, readers will find ferocious criticisms of more than a few facts which have been promoted to universal acceptance. Facts like the inevitability of scientific progress and the great efficacy of modern medicine. They will also find noisy jubilation over some limited attacks on certain (in)famous personalities and “critical national infrastructure”.

Given that we are anarchists, it could well be asked what we think these kinds of very peripheral ideas and acts have to do with the realisation of a world without rulers or ruled? What they have to do with a revolution which releases each one’s personal powers and capacities in an unlimited way, across all the domains of life, from sexuality to food-cultivation, from philosophy to the use of weapons?

(Chile) Commemoration of the 17th anniversary of the death in action of anarchist comrade Mauricio Morales

On the anniversary of Mauri’s death, while attempting to attack the school of miserable jailers, a group of individuals gathered to remember him where he met his end.

The walls of that street, frequented daily by jailers, proudly and boldly proclaim our brother’s name and his contribution to Anarchy. We like it that way.

We were escorted by a large police contingent, with armoured vehicles and unmarked cars. We also like that this happened; it shows how much they fear the memory of our dead, how much they fear their legacy spreading like the worst plague.

We are happy that Mauri’s memory lives on, as much as Anarchy does.

Until we destroy the last bastion of the prison society!
Mauricio Morales present!

We Gave Us This Day Our Daily Bread: Refusing Mamie Clafoutis’ Pain-opticon. (Canada)

In the spirit of all those May Day expropriations that came before, we entered Mamie Clafoutis’ St. Denis location and filled our bags this morning in total rejection of the encroaching gaze of surveillance and and the false gods of capitalism.

Partnering with retail tech startup Leav, Mamie Clafoutis boasts that it is “pioneering a new era of automated smart stores.” This is the beginning of the same Amazon Go model that has already infected other cities, praised by media as innovation. Registering with a facial scan on their app can get you the ‘privilege’ of buying bread 24/7 in these automated, cashless bakeries.

A Rebel’s Memoirs: Going Underground

Eleven years ago, on April 28, 2015, the police launched a crackdown known as Operation Phoenix (Fénix). As a result, I later decided to go into hiding—that is, to live underground. The following text serves both as a memoir of that period and as a critical reflection on it.

Going Underground

In 2015, the authorities cracked down, and a lot happened in a relatively short period of time: Four anarchists in prison. Media propaganda scaremongering about terrorism. Raids on homes and at the community center. Confiscation of personal belongings. Being dragged through interrogation rooms. Intimidation, sowing discord, police surveillance. There was a lot going on, and taken together, it created enormous tension. At least for me, without a doubt. Continue reading A Rebel’s Memoirs: Going Underground →

The Cop, the Neo-Nazi, and the Elephant

In 2022, we published 2,000 french and 2000 german copies of the first edition of our book “How to defend yourself during a police interrogation.” Since then, the content of our practical guide has continued to spread, taking many forms, such as a workshops we conduct, an “interrogation” supplement for the role-playing game Blade in the Dark and translations into English, and Spanish. The book has now also been reissued in French by Éditions du Commun under the title “A Short Guide to Self-Defense During Interrogations,” as well as an audiobook version, a radio spot, a self-print brochure version on infokiosques.net, and posters illustrating the “broken record” strategy.
In short, we’ve put a lot of effort to share our self-defense advice as widely as possible so that anarchists and other rebels can protect themselves against repression. And it’s not over yet, since translations into Arabic, Italian, and Danish are underway, and our door is always open to anyone who wants to help us to diffuse it or to reach other formats and linguistic-geographic areas.

Bandung: 7 comrades arrested during Mayday clashes (Indonesia)

https://youtu.be/E4hVhkpgqXg?si=1EjTJsLwpBV5Li2u

Bandung, May 7, 2026 — The 2026 International Workers’ Day (May Day) commemoration in Bandung, West Java, ended in unrest that broke out in the late afternoon around the Dago Cikapayang Park area. Approximately 150 people had gathered at the location since 4:00 p.m. local time.

As night fell, the situation escalated. The crowd set fire to a videotron display, a police post, and several banners. Fires were also seen burning on the streets, sending thick plumes of smoke into the air.

Trial against Anarchist comrade in Leipzig in 12.05 (Berlin,Germany)

Trial against Anarchist comrade in Leipzig in 12.05

On May 12th and 2nd of June another „Tag X“ demonstration- trial against an anarchist comrade will take place at Amtsgericht Leipzig. The state attorney is accusing him of serious breach of peace, physical and aggravated assault of police officers in 18 cases and destruction of work equipment. This is not an isolated case, the upcoming trial is part of a collective accusation against several people. with a total of 1500 opened investigations on the whole weekend, 100 people having charges and another 100 still having open investigation.

In this specific case the accusation is based on photos published online taken by a photo journalist. The police believes that they can identify our comrade based on these photos with the help of a so called „super-recognizer“, a figure of dubious credibility. In the investigation „Tag X” the Leipzig police worked several times with these self-proclaimed „super recognizers“. These are police officers who present themselves as having superior recognition abilities to others, but who in reality are as subjective as anyone else. There is no scientific evidence of the existence of this „super-power“. Continue reading Trial against Anarchist comrade in Leipzig in 12.05 (Berlin,Germany) →

Call to action against the International Drone Show in Denmark, Odense!

On 3.-4. June 2026 at Hans Christian Andersen Airport, so-called “global players” and local startups will meet and show off their newest death toys.

These people who “just do their job” are making machines of “dual use technology”. The technology both makes you dependent on its usage in your everyday life, and can destroy that life upon the operators choice. They can try and pretend to have a cozy meeting in the middle of Fortress Europe, but we are many who live within the walls and are taking aim at the watch towers!

Drones aren’t toys, they are the very machines that terrorize and kill unnumbered people in the imperial wars haunting our times. People who have lived under the presence of drones become cautious and even afraid of clear blue skies, the perfect conditions for drone strikes. Drones fly across occupied Palestine carrying AI-assisted weaponry while playing sounds of babies crying, just to shoot the oncoming helpers. The same data center that delivers AI-girlfriends and deepfake-pornography can deliver critical information to militaries far away. Our simplest human joys and fears become the battlefield.

Slovakia: The gates to the Ukrainian consulate in the city of Bratislava were locked on April 27, 2026 by an angry unicorn

The gates to the Ukrainian consulate in the city of Bratislava were
locked on April 27, 2026 by an angry unicorn in protest against the
policies of the Ukrainian government.

Since the very beginning of the Russian Federation’s invasion of
Ukraine—that is, since 2022—Ukraine’s borders have been closed to men, and state institutions do not allow these people to move freely to safety. It is the Russian government and military that are responsible for the bombing of Ukrainian towns and cities. However, if the Ukrainian government prevents people from fleeing this threat, it is undoubtedly contributing to the circumstances that lead to their maiming and murder.

Snooping Eyes: Report on Methods and Tools of Digital Repression

From No Trace Project

“As friends and tech-savvy comrades, we are often approached with questions about what the police and other law enforcement agencies can do.
At the same time, we frequently notice behaviors that show a certain carelessness, overlooking the tools these authorities have at their disposal and the growing budgets allocated to advanced surveillance technologies in recent years. For these reasons, among others, we decided to compile this text to provide, in a structured way, some information about what we have seen or read over the past years.”

Memory and struggle for the anarchist comrades Sara and Alessandro! Chile, 29th March 2026

Memory and struggle for the anarchist comrades Sara and Alessandro!

On March 20th, some sad news reached us from the other side of the ocean: two anarchists are dead. They were preparing an attack against capitalist inertia. An attack against desperation, against the convenience of obedience, which is always the easier road compared to the uncertainty of rebellion.

They could have chosen a life of resignation, yet, in that corner of the planet, amidst the ruins of the city and the tension of an action the choice of the two comrades Sara and Alessandro was the synthesis of a long history of struggle that weaves past and present, opposing life and freedom to the system of domination and death. Sara and Alessandro chose the struggle and anarchy; our commitment is to not desist from this path. Continue reading Memory and struggle for the anarchist comrades Sara and Alessandro!

AGAINST ALL STATES, AGAINST THEIR WAR!

Answers to the questions from Maciej A. an anarchist comrade in Poland.

  1. Is the anarchist movement in Iran niche and fragmented, mostly concentrated in university cities? And how active is the diaspora?
    The anarchist movement in Iran is young. It is only in recent years that anarchism within the geography of Iran has developed into an actual movement in the full sense of the word. It is also only in the past few years that some anarchist books have been officially translated into Persian and received permission for publication inside Iran.
    That said, the movement is more geographically widespread than outsiders might expect. According to surveys we conducted on Twitter and Telegram, anarchists are present in all 31 provinces of Iran, from very small towns to very large cities, across the entire geography of the country. The movement is everywhere, even if it is not always visible.
    Due to the conditions of severe repression in the country, the anarchist movement has operated in an increasingly decentralised manner. This decentralisation is not a weakness, it is a survival strategy. Continue reading AGAINST ALL STATES, AGAINST THEIR WAR! →

Cyprus : What happened to the anti-fascist April 1st in Limassol (video + photo)

 

What happened to the anti-fascist April 1st in Limassol

On March 19, the neo-Nazi groups Fratria, Reconquista, Youth Resistance, and Paphos Nationalist Youth call for an “annual march” on April 1, 6:30 PM, from the Agios Nikolaos roundabout to the Grivas monument, attempting to repeat their march last year.

On March 26th , we announce a “Special Assembly Against Neo-Nazis” gathering in the park of Agios Nikolaos, at the monument to Fallen Resistance Fighters. Exactly between their pre-gathering and the Grivas monument. The clear aim was to block their path and cancel their march.
