Text: A Legacy of Disgrace: On the situation of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda

The backlog of pages and cases passed from one office to another, from one department to another and from one ministry to another. The pages were still white, they had not yet yellowed as they eventually would. To tell the truth, many things at that time passed from one office to another, the transition accommodated and rearranged things so that nothing changed.

The urban guerrilla warfare, assaults, executions, brass, gunpowder, statements of armed hooded men, stolen cars, banks and blasts of the nineties were translated into the legal language of illicit association, homicide, co-perpetrator of homicide, formation of a combat group, robbery with intimidation, serious injuries and an almost infinite etcetera.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) : Fire-bruary

IAATA, March 5, 2023

The first cold hours of February 25 were warmed up by the criminal and shameless fire of a Circet car in Amidonniers. The development of telecoms transforms the world into an open-air work colony, but only the authorities have an interest in pretending that revolt is impossible. There is always a way to strike.

This flaming car was meant to salute Boris, a comrade from Besançon who was repressed for burning cell towers, and the people arrested in November across Occitania for burning cell towers and speed cameras.

Also, on February 24 the Italian justice confirmed that Alfredo Cospito
will remain in solitary confinement, which is like trying to kill him. This fire also wanted to support the fight against this world of barbed wire.

Words of Anarchist Prisoner Aldo Hernández

March 16, 2023

Metal against metal, heavy blows at the entrance of the building where I slept with my beloved daughter and my brother that night. I reacted to their machine guns and the imminent violence to which we would be subjected by waking up my daughter, getting her dressed, and telling her that the police were coming for me. I managed to tell her that I loved her forever and ever, to be strong and calm. I stood in front of her in the face of their weapons and arrogance.

Damn cowards, they investigated me for more than a year, followed me, placed cameras, photographed me, listened to me… they were on my heels and preferred to expose a minor to the violent raid that we experiences that early morning of December 22, 2022. Despicable beings that only did not stop me before out of fear. They clearly knew that this individual would not receive them in a good way, on the contrary, with all the courage that those of us who carry the confrontation against power and its servants, that courage that runs through our veins, that the enemies will never be able to understand. They came to me in the pure style of the fascism of the D.I.N.A or the C.N.I. I cannot forgive much less forget that they subjected my daughter to a “subtle interrogation”. I hate them a little more every second. Remember that though today my body is imprisoned, my ideas and projects continue to travel illegally through the streets of this territory with the desire to concretize in action what I have reflected with different comrades, sisters and brothers.

Spain: Claim for the Package Bomb Against the Head of the Prison Guards’ Union CSIF Zaragoza

March 11, 2023

Alfonso Peiró is not a mere jailer. For some reason he feels compelled to defend corporate impunity, specifically in the Zuera, Zaragoza maxi-prison.

When the prisoners vent their anger among themselves or against one another, everything continues as usual. However, when someone dares to return the violence to the henchmen of confinement, doubly despicable characters like Alfonso Peiró come out to bawl victimhood.

The few consequences that could arise from our attentions are nothing compared to what characters of his ilk and their superiors deserve.

Montevideo, Uruguay ; Banner in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Montevideo :  Banner in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

As a gesture of rebellious complicity and response to the international call for solidarity with the comrade Alfredo, we dropped this banner off front of one of the houses that the Italian community has in the Uruguayan capital. The comrade has been on hunger strike for more than 100 days, fighting until death against the 41Bis torture regime and life in prison.

The fact that the Italian state is letting him die is no surprise, and is is crucial to multiply and expand gestures of solidarity and action to support our comrade. Let’s not wait for the worst outcome to take to the streets.

FREEDOM FOR ALFREDO
FREEDOM FOR ALL

Internationalist Call for Actions in Solidarity with Marcelo Vollarroel after 15 Years in Prison & in the Context of the Permanent Campaign for his Freedom! ( $hile )

Internationalist Call for Actions in Solidarity with Marcelo Vollarroel after 15 Years in Prison & in the Context of the Permanent Campaign for his Freedom!

On March 15, in the context of comrade Alfredo Cospito’s admirable determination in Italian prison, and comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar’s preparation for trial, antiauthoritarian and subversive prisoner, comrade Marcelo Villarroel marks 15 years of imprisonment. 15 years ago, he was captured in Argentina while fleeing Chile in clandestinity due to the case known as “Security”.

The antagonistic actions against power that the comrade chose as his form of life at a very young age made him a target of the powerful and their media. They created a brutal and crude spectacle of persecution out of the expropriation of that bank in the center of Santiago, Chile and the resulting death of the cop Moyano in October 2007.

The state kidnapping of Marcelo, which in concrete terms is a concealed life sentence, is sustained by the most rotten filth of the dictatorial inheritance: Pinochet’s putrid Military court, even in 2023. Something that seems unthinkable 50 years after the military coup and the start of the civic-military dictatorship.

However, this parallel justice, that no one seems to notice, hear or mention, remains intolerably operational. This was demonstrated this past February 27 at the sentence review hearing helf in the 7th Guarantee Court of Santiago, which confirmed that Marcelo should remain in prison until 2036.

Oaxaca, Mexico: Claim for Explosive Attack of Bienestar Bank

Oaxaca: Claim for Explosive Attack of Bienestar Bank

February 19, 2023 via: es-contrainfo

We claim responsibility for the detonation of the homemade explosive artefact inside an ATM of bienestar Bank located on the outskirts of Oaxaca City, territory dominated by the Mexican State.

2/14/23 at dawn. We light the explosive. From a distance we hear the explosion and the bank alarms. We expected a more powerful impact that would cause greater damage to the ATM, and break the tedium of social peace for a moment. This time the action was silenced by the henchmen of order and the press. We will sharpen the knife more next time. This seditious gesture is a combative greeting to Alfredo Cospito and his irreducible war against prison and the 41 B.I.S. isolation regime.

It is clear to us that insurrectional solidarity requires will, courage and gunpowder.
Intensify the conflict by pushing forward the attack!
For the extension of combat and seditious solidarity!
DOWN WITH THE 41 B.I.S. ISOLATION REGIME!!!
For the practice of anarchic vandalism against the established order!

Anarchic Informality.
F.A.I.

Chile : Meeting in Solidarity with Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar

Meeting in Solidarity with Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar

March 12, 2023 informativoanarquista

With the start of preparations for the oral trial of comrades Mónica and Francisco, we call on you to come to the premises of the Injustice Center (located at Av. Pedro Montt 1606, Santiago Centro) on March 14 at 9:30 am. This is the beginning of a process in which the state apparatus will seek to break our networks and momentum, which is why solidarity remains part of our direct confrontation with any authority.

“Our only decision is the permanent attack against power.”
“Until all authority burns, unyielding until total liberation.”

MONICA AND FRANCISCO TO THE STREETS!

Greece: Announcement of Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis for his participation with a symbolic hunger strike in the international call of action for anarchist prisoner Marcelo Villarroel in Chile.

One-day hunger strike in response to the internationalist call for action in solidarity with Marcelo Villarroel

“These are times of clarity and definitions”

“I am from the war, a classic son of the working class, of the city growing up in a population where the code of struggle was and is for survival in the always precarious material conditions, but with strong bonds of communal solidarity as a life practice… Respect for the mapu ñuke, the search for a harmonious relationship with the planet, the recovery of spaces and territories and their clean control to build an autonomous path with values that oppose the bourgeois way of teaching and the ideology of the great God of Capital, perpetuated with blood and fire by the Chilean national state, and all its death apparatus, are aspects that make it impossible for me to ignore the bonds with and deep feelings about the struggle for the liberation of wallmapu.

These are times of clarity and definitions. Autonomous, anti-authoritarian and anarchist subversive practices in this part of the world cannot ignore the territoriality of the conflict, nor can they remain only in general and tepid solidarity….

The mode of confrontation is our inalienable choice in prison and on the street, we are not victims of circumstances, but conscious warriors of a fight to the death for the Total Liberation of peoples, individuals and communities. This is where all our efforts are made and renewed. “[1]

Perugia,Italy 14th March 2023: Update on the review hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures in ”operation Sibilla” and statements of some of the comrades under investigation.

Update on the review hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures in operation Sibilla and statements of some of the comrades under investigation (Perugia, 14th March 2023)

The hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures for anarchists in operation Sibilla of 11th November 2021 took place on March 14th in the bunker courtroom inside the prison of Capanne in Perugia. It concerned the comrades for whom measures were ordered on charges of incitement to commit a crime (414 criminal code), aggravated by the aim of terrorism, in connection with the drafting, publication and distribution of the first six issues of the anarchist newspaper “Vetriolo” and other articles and interventions.

Among the comrades under investigation are Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike for over 140 days, and Gianluca, currently under house arrest for a year now for the investigation Diamante.
This second re-examination resulted from the Court of Cassation’s ruling last June granting the prosecutor Manuela Comodi’s request, annulling the previous order of the review court which had revoked the precautionary measures in December 2021.

Alfredo Cospito participated in the hearing by video link from the Milan prison of Opera and three comrades under investigation were present in the courtroom in the Peurugia prison of Capanne. The hearing took place behind closed doors, while there were around 40 comrades in solidarity outside. The three comrades under investigation who attended the hearing in the bunker courtroom spoke (two of them with written statements) and each greeted Alfredo warmly. Alfredo made a long statement, in which he was very lucid and was loaded with his usual sarcasm (‘I prefer comedy to melodrama’).’I want to start with the words of my instigator,’ he began, quoting a stance of the current minister of justice Nordio going back to 2019 concerning 41 bis. The comrade then reiterated the meaning and perspective of the hunger strike against the detention regime, which he called a ‘medieval muzzle’ and a ‘metastasis that will spread to political dissent’. Alfredo said he does not accept this non-life and will go on until the end. “For anarchists, who have no organisation, the given word is everything.” That is why he will keep his word, going on to the bitter end. “I will leave with dignity. I hope that those who love me understand that.” The comrade wished to point out that, in the situation in which he is imprisoned, “the only remnants of light I see are the acts of my anarchist brothers and sisters around the world”, “Thank you anarchists. I love you”. Finally, he concluded: “Abolition of the 41 bis regime. Abolition of life imprisonment without parole. Solidarity with all anarchist, communist and revolutionary prisoners in the world”.
