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 →

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.

I have finally been acquitted of several criminal charges brought against me by the police on the basis of dubious speculation. The acquittal ruling states:

“(…) the court finds that no evidence was presented that would lead to the identification of the perpetrator, and thus to the proof of the defendant’s guilt. The defendant’s guilt has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, as required by Section 2(5) of the Criminal Procedure Code. These doubts are fundamental, logical, and insurmountable, as the expert opinions confirmed that the perpetrator cannot be identified by any scientific method.”

What made this court case unusual was that the prosecutor tried to use my book “Tato kniha není (z)boží” (This Book Is Not a Commodity) against me However, the court ultimately ruled that this book does not constitute evidence.

The joint attack of Israel and the USA against Iran on the 28th of February 2026 is what comes next after the so-called “12-day war” of June 2025, when Israel attacked Iran with the help of the USA. In that phase of the war, the Zionist regime attacked, thus escalating the situation and limiting whatever scenario of “mild” resolution to the open issues concerning the Iranian state such as its nuclear program. The June war actually formed the terms and the political context to prepare and set off the current “episode”, which includes the greatest part of the ambitions of the American-Israeli coalition. Under the doctrine of “precautionary war”, which has been announced since the beginning of 2025 by the Israeli state claiming a sort of justification for its military operations in the name of calculated (and not manifested) dangers and threats.

The war that sparked on 28/2, attempts to form a new geopolitical geography in the broader area of the Middle East. At the top of their priorities lies to overthrow the Iranian regime, so that the danger for Israel coming from its neighboring states can be completely eliminated. Not long ago Iran was the pillar of the so-called “axis of resistance” against the aims of Israel and the USA. Apart from that common goal, the two ally states could establish their interests in the broader area since the Arab states (on various levels) have made agreements with Israel (bearing at the same time a close cooperation with the USA) and practically submit to its pursuits.

We are publishing an interview with a solidarity network that helps refugees a deserters from Ukraine. Visit the initiative’s website for more information. solidarityactivities.noblogs.org

1) Your initiative helps people fleeing the war in Ukraine. Why do you help these people in particular?

Mutual aid is a fundamental factor in our lives. And because we cannot help everyone, we help primarily where we have the resources and capacity to do so. We also realize that inter-imperialist tensions are escalating in various parts of the world. War may soon come to the places where we now live. But it’s not just about empathy. It’s also very practical. If we show solidarity with people in war zones, it is part of the process of self-organization of the working class, which opposes wars and their possible escalation into another world war. The ruling classes of all imperialist blocs have their Continue reading Interview with the “Solidarity is the Way” →
