Solidarity with the 9 anarchists persecuted in Italy in the latest operation (Berlin,Germany)

Solidarity with the 9 anarchists persecuted in Italy for allegedly sabotaging a high-speed train line during the last winter Olympics and forming an organization with the goal to subvert the state.
From Berlin in solidarity, we send you strength and love!

As a small gesture to inform people the night after we heard about the raids and your arrests and the eviction, and to get out of our heads and start to express our sadness and rage we hung a banner in the streets of Berlin.

Genova: carretto solidale per gl* arrestat* del 16 giugno (Italy)

Nella serata di venerdì 19 giugno un carretto ha attraversato i vicoli del centro storico di Genova per portare solidarietà ai compagni e le compagne arrestat*, indagat* e perquisit* nell’operazione messa in atto dalla procura di Roma ad inizio settimana.

Un po’ di musica, interventi, cori e striscioni tra i caruggi intasati dalla caotica movida del fine settimana; questo momento è stata anche occasione per scambiare qualche parola con ragazze e ragazzi che si fermavano, incuriositi, a leggere i volantini distribuiti, e allo stesso tempo momento per ribadire tutto il nostro odio (spesso tra questi giovani decisamente condiviso!) per le guardie e le galere.

EN/IT/: A new repressive operation under Article 270bis. The Bencivenga Occupation in Rome has been evicted, and arrests and searches have taken place in several cities. (Italy)

FR: Italie : Rafle d’anarchistes ,Rafle d’anarchistes à Rome et ailleurs. Les adresses des compagnons emprisonnés

We make known:

Starting at around 5am on June 16, 2026, the Rome prosecutor’s office launched yet another repressive operation involving numerous anarchist comrades in various parts of the country. The alleged crime is conspiracy for terrorist purposes (Article 270 bis). The conspiracy is said to be related to sabotage carried out during the devastation of the Milan and Cortina areas, also known as the Winter Olympics.

As far as we know, five comrades are being held in prison and two have been put under house arrest with electronic bracelets. However, following the searches, two more comrades were arrested on charges of autoaddestramento [self-training] (Article 270 quinquies), although no precautionary measures had initially been foreseen for them.

Following this operation, the occupied Bencivenga was evicted.
We are currently listing the addresses that are known of the comrades in prison.

Nico Aurigemma
Arnau Vallet Casadevall
Stefano Marri
Regina Coeli, Via della Lungara 29, 00165, Rome

Micol Marino,
Rebibbia Women’s Hospital, Via Bartolo Longo, 92, 00156 Rome

Pietro Rosetti,
C.C. of Forlì, via della Rocca 4, 47121, Forlì

Francesco Benedetti
C.C. Lorusso and Cotugno, via Maria Adelaide Aglietta 35, 10151, Turin

These addresses are provisional and may change in the coming days. One of the two comrades arrested following the search is reportedly still at the police station awaiting a fast-track trial. Updates will follow.
All our solidarity goes out to them. With rage and love, for anarchy.

Italy: In times of war. About the anti-anarchist raid of June 16th (Anarchists of Trento and Rovereto June 16th 2026)

EL: ΣΕ ΚΑΙΡΟΥΣ ΠΟΛΕΜΟΥ Για την αντι-αναρχική επιχείρηση της 16ης Ιουνίου

IN TIMES OF WAR
About the anti-anarchist raid of June 16th

Tuesday June 16th, in Rome and elsewhere, yet more raids struck the anarchist movement, with six arrest warrants for as many comrades various others under investigation, searches all over Italy and the eviction of the occupied space in Rome, Bencivenga.

As well as that, two comrades have been arrested with the new charge of “terrorismo della parola” [terrorism of the word] (270-quinquies) for possession of a number of pamphlets found during the raid.

While the information leaked by the media is scarcer and more patchy than usual, it is quite clear that the investigations concern a number of acts of sabotage of railway lines, in particular that carried out on February 14th on the Rome-Florence line, against the Cortina war Olympics in 2026.

Solidarity gathering: Get Alfredo out of 41 bis. For international solidarity among the oppressed. Against all the masters of war and exploitation (Rome, Italy, june 12, 2026)

GET ALFREDO OUT OF 41 BIS
FOR INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY AMONG THE OPPRESSED
AGAINST ALL THE MASTERS OF WAR AND EXPLOITATION

As the four-year application period was coming to an end, the Ministry of Justice announced on April 30 that the 41 bis regime would be extended for another two years for Alfredo Cospito. A hearing regarding the appeal against the Ministry’s decision to extend the regime is scheduled for June 12 at the Supervisory Court of Rome.

Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist imprisoned in 2012 for attacking one of the key individuals responsible for the upcoming nuclear disaster. After nearly ten years imprisonment, he was transferred to the most oppressive prison regime in the Italian prison system. This measure is in line with the repressive maneuvers of all recent governments and is a clear expression of internal war policies imposed to silence him and halt the circulation of his writings. Meanwhile, in the final phase of the anti-anarchist “Scripta Manent” trial, he faced the risk of a life sentence without parole.

The international solidarity movement of 2022–23, which developed during Alfredo’s extremely long hunger strike, shattered the political and repressive balance on which the intent of total annihilation, represented by the combination of 41 bis and a life sentence, was based. At the same time, the movement pierced the veil of silence surrounding a torture prison regime that had previously been untouchable. Finally, last year, 12 anarchists, including Alfredo, were acquitted in Perugia of charges related to publishing a revolutionary anarchist newspaper. The investigation had been a key justification for the transfer to 41 bis.

[Spanish/Italian State] Text: Preparing for the worst: possible extradition to Italy of comrade Gabriel Pombo Da Silva

Preparing for the worst: possible extradition to Italy of comrade Gabriel Pombo Da Silva

9.5.26

We recall that in December 2025, our comrade was arrested under an international arrest warrant (EAW issued from Italy). His detention lasted five hours until Judge Pedraz granted him provisional release with the conditions of signing in and a travel ban. This EAW stems from one of Italy’s many repressive operations: “Operation Scripta Manent” in 2016, which resulted in Gabriel being sentenced to two years’ prison in 2022 for incitement to commit crime. At the end of November last year, the Turin court announced that it would not accept the alternative measures to imprisonment requested by the lawyer due to a “lack of self-criticism of his own values” (a rather apt metaphor to emphasize his lack of remorse), thus paving the way for the execution of the sentence. This is why the EAW was issued: Judge Pedraz considered this offence a crime of opinion and therefore did not order imprisonment, requesting certain documentation from both parties.

A few days ago, a court order arrived, signed by the same judge, who, while partly agreeing with one side and partly with the other, facilitates the possible extradition of Gabriel to Italy if certain requirements are met.

Let’s continue talking about Sara and Sandro

The deaths of Sara Ardizzone and Alessandro Mercogliano on the night of 19–20 March in Rome, following the explosion and collapse of an abandoned cottage in the Parco degli Acquedotti area, have created an open wound that is not intended to heal. For the most part, the spontaneous reaction of the anarchist movement in Italy and around the world has been dignified and coherent with the life paths of two revolutionaries who died fighting. However, a genuine moment of reflection has been lacking so far. We do not regret this, but rather believe that the extended timeframe is necessary given the nature of this event. These are inevitably long, grief-filled days, but they are also days spent coming to a concrete understanding of the facts.

We do not believe that we should take a stance of specific struggle towards this tragedy, with all the urgency, contingencies and anxiety that such a struggle imposes, in order to do something “practical”. Of course, this kind of event has also been accompanied by moments of struggle: attempts to sabotage participation in funerals using every petty stratagem; the preventive custody of 91 anarchists who were trying to lay flowers near the accident site on the morning of 29 March, the media smear campaign against the Easter Monday gathering in Valnerina to commemorate Sara.

International call for *Raíces y Radicalidad* (Roots and Radicality) a fanzine poetry from jails and streets Juan Sorroche , Miguel Peralta

We want to spread this new call to poetry,to “haiku without haiku,” and to free, unfettered verse–born as a continuation of *Haiku sin Haiku* (2023). The new collection will be titled *Raíces y Radicalidad* (Roots and Radicality) and was launched by our comrades Juan Sorroche–a prisoner in Terni (in the territory currently known as Italy)–and Miguel Peralta, who is currently evading persecution by the Mexican State somewhere in the world.

*Raíces y Radicalidad* seeks to create a space for encounter, convergence, and expression for those who “confront, resist, and struggle against power every day” across different latitudes.

Therefore, we invite you to contribute verses, thoughts, feelings, and words to this collection. Continue reading International call for *Raíces y Radicalidad* (Roots and Radicality) a fanzine poetry from jails and streets Juan Sorroche , Miguel Peralta

Responsibility for the incendiary arson attacks on the homes of Panagiotis Tsanakas,a snitch dean of the ΕΜΠ and a riot police officer (Athens,Greece)

Responsibility for the incendiary arson attacks on the homes of
Panagiotis Tsanakas,a snitch dean of the ΕΜΠ and a riot police officer

National Metsovian Military Police

In the early hours of March 25, we carried out an arson attack on the
residence of the dean of the National Polytechnic University of
Athens, Panagiotis Tsanakas, as well as a riot police officer, in the
Zografou neighborhood. Our investigation into the chief of the
academic rabble at the Polytechnic led us to a coincidence that is both peculiar and poetically explainable. A snitch and a cop that work and live together, an image that is, at the very least, moving.

Tsanakas is not merely Hatzigeorgiou’s (director of the National
Technical University of Athens) lackey; rather, as the culmination of
his “academic” work, he has shamelessly turned in to the police a
student who was writing slogans in support of the Palestinian people on campus’ walls. However, he plays a deeper and more substantial role in Hatzigeorgiou’s police-controlled monstrosity, a rectorate that permits/enforces the daily presence and patrols of police on campus in full compliance and obedience to the dictates of the New Democracy doctrine for absolute control and, in essence, necrosis of student and subversive struggles within universities. An administration that we have lost count of how many times it has ordered the invasion of law enforcement forces onto the university grounds, with a particular “sensitivity” when it comes to those showing solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.

Every modern war starts in a laboratory (Italy)

Received by anonymous mail and published

In the night between 7th and 8th April 6 incendiary devices were placed on 4 heavy vehicles and the control units of two cranes inside the site for the construction of a technology-hub of the Sant’Anna institute of higher education. It is impossible to know the actual damage done due to the complete ignorance of the media on the subject, there was definitely damage given that columns of smoke could be seen rising in the distance.

Freedom for Alfredo Cospito and all the prisoners of the social war.

A thorn in the side A poster that appeared in the night, in Cremona. (Italy)

 

A thorn in the side

Silence is danger, darkness intoxicates risk. It is anguish that generates the void, the sensation of finding oneself on the bridge from where you look down and see the abyss, where you cannot tear your gaze away from the chasm opening up before the world: but it is precisely in moments like this that you tend to feel alive, without mediation of any kind.

The clamour of industry or a steady trickle of devices, like democratic chatter, are unbearable because imagination, sedition, sensitivity, contemplation, and daydreaming are flattened and substituted by the constant bombardment of news, messages, notification alerts, impositions to consume and calls to the order of war.

The megamachine engulfs, sleeping slavery wears invisible chains and the impotence felt goes with the flow of continual massacres and genocides. Continue reading A thorn in the side A poster that appeared in the night, in Cremona. (Italy)

Chronicles and reflections on expressions of affection for Sara and Sandro, and on the anti-Mafia movement as a tool for counter-insurgency

During the night of Thursday 19th to Friday 20th March, a loud bang shook the neighbourhoods of eastern Rome near the Parco degli Acquedotti; inside the park, an explosion caused part of an abandoned farmhouse to collapse. The explosion and the collapse killed two of our comrades, Sara and Sandro. Their unwavering consistency between idea and action led them to take risks and cross the line between life and death.

Για τα συντρόφια Σάρα και Σάντρο, που θα είναι πάντα ζωντανά στους αγώνες μας

Στις 19 Μαρτίου, στην Ιταλία, οι αναρχικοί σύντροφοι Alessandro Marcogliano και Sara Ardizzone σκοτώθηκαν έπειτα από έκρηξη που οδήγησε στην κατάρρευση της οροφής ενός εγκαταλελειμμένου κτιρίου του πρώην σιδηροδρομικού σταθμού, γνωστού ως “Casale del Sellaretto”, στο πάρκο των ρωμαϊκών υδραγωγείων. Τόσο από την ανακοίνωση των εκεί μπάτσων, όσο και από την κατάσταση που βρέθηκε η σορός του συντρόφου Sandro, φαίνεται ότι είχε προηγηθεί πρόωρη έκρηξη.

The affinity we share and expand is in large part realised by our confrontation with power, which we communicate through actions, calls, responses, and reflections that spur us on to further action. That affinity also comes, and deeply so, from tenderness between comrades, which is one of the forces that drives us to act, so that they feel that in the anarchist struggle, we are here too!
