Words from the confinement of Joaquín García Chanks
August 29, 2022

(Excerpted from Buskando la Kalle)

In the context of the Week of Agitation and Solidarity with anarchist and anti-authoritarian prisoners of all tendencies we share words of anarchist prisoner and comrade Joaquín García from confinement.

In times in which welfarist solidarity invades each and every space of the anti-prison struggle, dragging each space of complicity to an eternal logic of martyrs and spectators, it is urgent to rebel against the comfortable immobility of this conception of solidarity, to take it out of the stagnant limitations of purely material aid and to weave in actions of complicity, trust and spaces in which antagonistic violence finds fertile ground for its praxis.

On 6 September Minsk City Court pronounced the verdict in the criminal case of the so-called “international criminal group”. There are 14 anarchists and libertarians, four of whom have left Belarus. The defendants were charged under 10 articles, including the articles on the establishment and participation in a criminal organization (paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 of Article 285 of the Criminal Code) and the establishment of an extremist formation (paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 361-1 of the Criminal Code). The trial was held behind closed doors.

According to the investigation, from 2005 to 2020 unidentified persons together with anarchist Alexander Frantskevich and human rights activist Martha Rabkova united “a number of organized criminal groups”: “Revolutionary Action”, “National self-defense” and Revolucijna Dia (“Revolutionary Day”). Investigators allege that Frantskevich and Rabkova organized the arson of the Gomel District Tax Inspectorate in March 2017 using “Molotov cocktails.” Read more about the case and its defendants in Russian here.

Carcere La Gonzalina – Rancagua,Francisco Solar: a complicit greeting

A complicit greeting

Revolutionary anarchist solidarity is a mutual relationship that indispensably requires a clear and decisive war positioning of the prisoners and milieus in affinity outside. Starting from this basis, this week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners goes to fortify such a relationship upheld in the clash, which is nothing other than the existing complicity that attacks any expression of authority.

Ending assistentialism and victimism means ceasing to see prisoners as a subject who is unaccountable during their temporary condition of confinement. Therefore, it also means breaking with practices that tend towards hierarchization that evolve into authoritarianism. It is imperative to always bear this in mind in order to fortify the anarchist anti-prison struggle.

 Council decision appeal courts on the case of the Anarchist Action Organisation

After 7 months’ detention, the six-month council decided to release comrade Panagiotis Kalaitzis (who will present himself every 1st and 15th of the month), to replace the conditions of detention with house arrest and bracelet for comrade Georgia Voulgari and to extend the pre-trial detention for the captured member of the organization Thanos Xatziagkelou

The new developments, although they foreshadow the collapse of the anti-terrorism indictment, do not mean the end of the struggle on the part of the three comrades.

Terrorism does not bend the imperative right of the revolutionary struggle. Everything continues…

Until the last prison is torn down, no one is free.

To give space to the nameless, faceless and voiceless!

Horror, sadness, rage, anger and a feeling of helplessness, of powerlessness. Short-term flaring up of affects and stirring emotions here, long-lasting, persistent feelings there, and all this before what we call mood, it colors our experience background, it is, so to speak, the primordial layer, the ground of feeling.

It is the global warming, what is called “climate crisis”, as if it would be a temporally manageable crisis and not a generation-spreading world change, before whose foil all further conflicts must be read, because a world-spreading cooperation, a togetherness is demanded.

Instead, horrible wars are raging, the one that touches us in Central Europe for very different reasons in the area of Ukraine, but also in Kurdistan, in Syria, in Yemen, in many regions of Africa. Conflicts in South America, in Asia – basically there is no region of the world where military conflicts are not being waged, which in turn lead to even more horror, grief, anger and rage.

Qualche notizia sulla situazione dell’anarchico Ivan (Francia, 16 agosto 2022)

Ecco qualche notizia della situazione di Ivan, il compagno anarchico arrestato l’11 giugno vicino a Parigi per incendio e attualmente in detenzione preventiva nel carcere di Villepinte.

Sta bene. Dopo due settimane in cella da solo fra fine luglio e inizio agosto, è di nuovo in cella con un altro detenuto.

Mentre Ivan era in stato di fermo, la SDAT (Sous-Direction Anti-Terroriste della Direction centrale della polizia giudiziaria francese) ha interrogato la sua compagna. Qualche settimana dopo, hanno convocato per interrogatorio pure sua figlia (di 12 anni) e la madre. Gli sbirri intendevano interrogarla, ma la madre ha rifiutato di lasciarla sola.
