Eight Federal Prairieland Defendants Sentenced Today to Prison Terms Ranging From 30-100 Years for Common Protest Activity (USA)

Fort Worth, Texas,

FORT WORTH, TX – Eight Prairieland defendants were sentenced in federal court today, three months after their convictions on a variety of federal charges, including riot, material support for terrorists, attempted murder, possession and conspiracy to use explosives, and conspiracy to conceal documents. Family members and supporters, who sat stunned as US District Judges Mark Pittman and Reed O’Connor delivered sentences ranging from 40-100 years in prison, called the punishment cruel, callous and starkly disproportionate to the defendants’ actions. In a rally and press conference held after the sentencing, supporters expressed defiance and vowed to continue fighting for the Prairieland defendants’ freedom.

The eight Prairieland defendants sentenced today are Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada, Benjamin Hanil Song, and Elizabeth Soto. All defendants, with the exception of Sanchez Estrada were convicted of rioting, providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to use an explosive, and use of an explosive device, which referred to the consumer grade fireworks used on July 4. Sanchez Estrada was convicted of concealing a document—political literature—and, along with Rueda, conspiracy to conceal documents. Song was additionally convicted of attempted murder of an officer and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime.

A statement of the comrade Marianna Manoura that followed after the final trial sentences. (Athens,Greece)

24/04/2026

Comrade Marianna Manoura began.

At this point I must make my final statement. As for the decision and my own sentence, I cannot say that I was surprised. After 15 years in the anarchist movement, vindictiveness and severity have come to be expected in the face of fighters, both male and female, who either choose revolutionary armed non-violence or actively stand alongside them, assisting and helping them.

The fact that the trials took place with such high density on a daily basis and in exhausting schedules, could not even provide the necessary conditions and the necessary time for a substantive examination of the testimonies of the witnesses, the statements of the accused and the final speeches of the lawyers. I honestly wonder how it is possible for a system to allow, and even offer the possibility of making decisions that decide on the lives of dozens of people – in our case, the 5 of us – within 2 hours, from 9:00 to 11:00. This system is protected by the judicial mechanism and this is the way that it accepts to operate. This system uses, and in this way reveals, the expendability of our lives. All that remains is to decide between the depreciation of our lives by the judicial mechanism that condensed the decision-making process into two hours, and the possibility of a pre-determined process. I do not know which is worse. I will say the second, because the first involves an even tiny attempt to rationalise the indictment, and to recognize the unceasing work of the defence lawyers. However, I am very much afraid that the second is probably true, and this because the turn that the said proceedings would take was evident from the beginning.

May Day Bandung 2026: The Spectacle of Advocacy and Advocacy as Spectacle (Indonesia)

We do not know Mpe personally—at least not until this case brought us into relation with him. We are not part of the advocacy circles, not activists, nor are we the sort who habitually bustle behind the scenes of movement theater. Yet we stand unequivocally on his side. He is a young man from Bandung arrested during the May Day 2026 demonstration for taking part in acts of arson, swiftly charged with terrorism after Densus 88 uncovered his coordination with others via WhatsApp groups. The consequence? Far heavier sentences, of course. Was Mpe reckless? Undoubtedly—but that is beside the point.

At first, word circulated that he had already secured legal counsel from Bandung’s advocacy networks. Photographs of the arrest warrant spread, and comfortable assumptions followed. No one suspected any deeper rot. Only after three weeks did the truth surface: Mpe had received no independent defense whatsoever. The police merely offered lawyers of their own choosing. These “neutral” advocates, who supposedly safeguard the rights of the accused, in practice—as those familiar with the machinery of law well know—serve the investigators. The result? Prolonged interrogation without genuine protection—a classic disciplinary process in which the judicial and carceral system does not merely punish, but molds bodies and souls, transforming living subjects into controllable objects through systematic surveillance, isolation, and pressure. All of it seamlessly integrated into the functioning of society.

ALF SABOTAGES BUTCHER VANS IN BRISTOL (UK)

In the early hours of 9th May some hooded creatures gained access to the yard of John Sheppard, a ‘family owned & operated’ butchers and slashed the tires of around 15-20 refrigerated vans, also tagging the sides and using leftover paint to cover the wing mirrors and headlamps.

This small action was done in solidarity with the Filton24, anarcho-nihilist vegan Ru of Susaron case and T, anarchist accused of torching a cop car in Brussels.

The Informal Solidarity Network for Political Prisoners of the “Anarchist” Cluster, are raising funds to cover legal expenses for prisoners. (Indonesia)

COMMUNIQUÉ

In August and September 2025, following the killing of a motorcycle taxi (ojek) driver during protests against government corruption and police brutality in Jakarta, Indonesia erupted in a massive popular uprising that shook the regime of President Prabowo, a former military officer. In the aftermath of the unrest, the ruling elite blamed “anarchists” for the disorder and launched mass arrests of thousands of young people across major cities, accusing them of involvement in the protests.

Across the country, young people were abducted by the Densus 88 counterterrorism unit and tortured into giving false confessions. The regime targeted young people in the streets, motorcycle taxi drivers, IT workers, activists, punks, journalists, musicians, and many others, all accused of committing serious “crimes.”

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.

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.

EN/INDONESIAN : HSBC Bank attacked in solidarity with imprisoned anarchists in Indonesia (Bristol,UK)

Bristol solidarity for Indonesia

We receive and transmit:

COMMUNIQUE

On 10th June in Kingswood, Bristol, HSBC Bank was attacked and the windows were smashed. HSBC Bank are a large investor and financial bloodsucker operating in Indonesia, where foreign multinationals and domestic businesses allied to the Prabowo regime loot and destroy the ecology and people. It is the banks, capitalists and elites that are responsible for the misery in our lives and it doesn’t matter that our imprisoned comrades Adit, Naufal, Komar, Mpe and Dena are far away.

Through destruction of a shared target, in this case a Bank with
investments in the Indonesian state, we are making our solidarity real.

RU FROM ”CASO SUSARON” MAKES A STATEMENT FROM PRISON (Chile)

“As the months have passed I’ve become quieter and more withdrawn. I suppose those are normal effects after spending a fairly prolonged period in prison.

I hadn’t written for a while because I hadn’t felt like it and because I felt I’d already said what I needed to politically. But I have never stopped receiving shows of support, solidarity actions and other gestures. That is why I write these words.

Taking responsibility for inflicting damages on Peiraiws bank and Sklavenitis supermarket

In response to the call to support the demands of the community of the occupied prosfygika. Outraged by the vindictive sentencing of our comrades Marianna and Dimitra

  1. In the early hours of Friday, May 1, 2026, we smashed the facade of the Piraeus Bank on Georgiou Averof street.
  2. In the early hours of Thursday, May 14, 2026, we smashed the facade of Sklavenitis on Valaoritou street –>
    https://www.epiruspost.gr/agnostos-dielyse-tzamaries-soyper-ma/ . We chose targets in the city center to demonstrate that the tower of state sovereignity, even in areas with increased police presence, is built from cards.

However, just as social activism requires a constant presence, so does the night-time activity to exert pressure.

We are no restless.

With our hearts with our fallen comrade Kyriakos
With our minds with our imprisoned comrades Dimitra and Marianna
With our hands in support of the struggle of the occupied prosfygika

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.

Molotov cocktail attack on the Evelpidon Courts – Solidarity with those facing charges over the bank expropriation in Lower Tithorea (Athens,Greece)

“The future is the mask of fear. The courage and strength have no future for the simple fact that they themselves are the future that revolts on the past and destroys it.

“The purity of life proceeds only with the nobility of courage that is the philosophy of action.”

I observed: “The purity of this your life seems to me to border on crime!”

He said: “Crime is the supreme synthesis of liberty and life.”

– Excerpt from The Expropriator

by Renzo Novatore

On the morning of 11th May, a group of comrades raided a bank in lower Tithorea. A few hours later, eight comrades were arrested; after their initial hearings, six were remanded in custody and transferred to different prisons.

How can anyone feel human while denying the fundamental human trait of taking initiative rather than waiting to be given something? Especially when we’re talking about reclaiming what is rightfully ours. How can anyone accept the existing system when it inflicts violence upon us every day?

Update from a motorcycle demo in solidarity with those accused for the expropriation of the bank in Kato Tithorea

On 24/05, a large number of comrades held a motorcycle demo in solidarity with the 8 comrades prosecuted for the expropriation of the bank in Kato Tithorea. Starting from Syngrou Avenue – the Fix metro station, we closed Syngrou Avenue and moved south, making stops at the central news stations 24media and SKAI, shouting slogans, throwing fliers and lighting flares. A similar stop was also made at the offices of New Democracy (in Moschato area). The motorcycle demo ended with slogans at the 4th anti-authoritarian  bookfair in Mercouri Square in Ano Petralona.

Mauricio Morales Present – ​​flaming barricades in Exarcheia (Athens,Greece)

17 years on, we send a signal of solidarity to the comrades in Chile, linking the struggles for memory and rebellion.

At midnight on Friday, May 22, we set up burning barricades with bins in the main streets of Exarcheia at 8 different points, in Benaki and Dervenia, Kallidromiou, Spyrou Trikoupi, Economou, Zoodochou Pigi, Botasis and Charilaou Trikoupi.

From the smallest spark that lights up the night, at every roadblock you set up – from Greece to Chile – we honour our fallen comrades. The aim of this action is to disrupt the consumer fiesta of Exarcheia, creating a disturbance on the main streets of the neighbourhood even for a moment, disrupting imposed normality. At the same time, we express our solidarity with the occupied Refugee community (Prosfigika) and the hunger strike of Aristotelis Chantzis from 5/2 and Suzon Doppagne   1/5.

Create a Freedom Tree with Marius (USA)

Create a Freedom Tree with Marius

After 17 years, Marius Mason is finally free. Marius, an environmental and animal rights activist, anarchist, writer, artist and trans advocate, was serving the longest sentence to date for acts of environmental sabotage. He was released to a half way house on May 14th.

Solidarity does not end when our friends get out of prison. While we support them from the outside, they also build relationships of mutual support with others inside. Our movement prisoners act as a bridge between outside support and everyone inside, sharing words, ideas, material support, and solidarity. Alongside the joy of release is the pain of leaving friends behind. Continue reading Create a Freedom Tree with Marius (USA)

[LE] Van belonging to prison contractor KONE vandalized – Solidarity with prisoners in Greece! en/gr/German.

On the night of Friday into Saturday (May 15–16), we demolished a KONE van parked in Connewitz, smashed the windows, slashed the tires, and left the slogan “Against Prisons.” The elevator manufacturer KONE is involved in the construction of prisons and thus profits directly from the inhumane prison system.

With this action, we send militant and solidarity-filled greetings to Athens. There, among others, our anarchist comrade Marianna was sentenced to 19 years in prison a few weeks ago for incorporating the path of armed resistance against the world of opression into her resistance. A path that cost her comrade and partner Kyriakos Xymitiris his life. In addition, six more comrades have been in custody since yesterday, accused of carrying out a number of successful armed expropriations of banks; here too, they face lengthy prison sentences.

Our passion for freedom is stronger than any prison cell!
Freedom for all prisoners!
Militant greetings to the Greek prisoners!
