Publicacion Refractario Monday 20 December 2021

Today, 20 December 2021, in a new hearing by video conference, it was decided to extend the investigation period in the case against the compas Francisco Solar and Mónica Caballero.

The court agreed to two more months’ investigation, pending the gathering of new information in the case of the explosive packages sent to the 54th police station and to the former Minister of the Interior Hinzpeter and the double explosive attack in the  neighbourhood of the rich. We remind you that the compas have been in prison, in the jails of Rancagua and San Miguel, since 24 July 2020.

Solidarity and complicity with Monica and Francisco !

Freedom for the subversive and anarchist prisoners!

The sentence was announced today for a group of anarcho-partisans who held a series of direct actions against the dictatorship about a year ago. In an attempt to isolate the activists, the trial was held in camera and only the pronouncement of the sentence was made public.

Sentences:

• Siarhei Ramanau – 20 years

• Ihar Alinevich – 20 years

• Dzmitry Rezanovich – 19

• Dzmitry Dubousky – 18 years

Enormous sentences for symbolic actions are an example of the dictatorship’s fear of anarchists. So far, these sentences are the longest in the history of political repression in the country.

Some people decide to stay inside

Alberto Frisetti – Albo to his friends – refuses to get out of jail on bail, or rather by paying a ransom of 45,000 euros to the Spanish State, in line with the common declaration made by the 27^th February Prisoners following Jeanne’s release: “Either all or none”. Albo refuses this compromise despite the generosity of his father who would have paid the disproportionate amount of ransom.

The frame-up against them accusing them of attempted murder has collapsed, but the judge who has been holding them in jail for 9 months and who for a long time had concealed a fire brigade report exonerating them from the serious charge, contrived this latest obscenity of exorbitant ransom, a blatant attack on the Presos del 27F beyond any criminal charge, thus revealing the true highly political face of this trial: laws are only bludgeons to strike the enemy.

I didn’t know I was Harry Houdini

26/11/2021

Today I was taken from the cells of G-wing, Bristol prison to the City Hospital under a security escort. This was to detect any reoccurrence of cancer in my abdomen and pelvis. In the reception area of the prison, I had the usual strip search, and I was forced to change out of my own clothes into prison-issue clothes.

This offended my dignity as even when I was being held in Wandsworth prison in London under “antiterrorist” conditions I could at least go to the hospital in my own clothes. Whilst I was waiting for the screws to finish the paperwork, I got a glance of my cover sheet at my file – “escape list” marked in red. I was shackled to a screw with an escort and another two and I was driven by four screws in an unmarked van to the radiology unit. Along the way and back, of course, I was a witness to the pathetic, belittling ,racist, misogynistic “chats” of the screws who consider themselves experts of all aspects of life. At the radiology unit there were discussions between the medical staff and screws with some referral to their superiors, as, without any foresight on the screws part, they hadn’t realised that I couldn’t be shackled inside the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. Despite the MIR machine being within a sealed room with a single door, I was forced to wear a pair of plastic zip tight cuffs which were tightened so tight they cut into my wrists.

The Solidarity Fund continues this year the series of diaries / calendars in Greek language that chronologically record some of the most important moments of the social and class war in Greece

After presenting the period 1974-1990 (diary / calendar 2020) and the 1990s (diary / calendar  2021), this year we attempt to record the five-year period 2000-2005. In this way, we hope to contribute our part in preserving the thread of our collective memory, the memory of radical struggles. It is precisely this thread of collective revolutionary memory and tradition that the State and capital are increasingly attempting to sever once and for all.

Understanding this instrument of communication as a tool to give voice to the prisoners in struggle, we publish this interview with comrade Marcelo Villarroel from the prison of Rancagua (territory dominated by the Chilean state). Months after having ended a hunger strike with other anarchist and subversive prisoners, Marcelo, a long-term prisoner with a long history of struggle, tells us about his experience in the strike and the reasons for his transfer to the prison of Rancagua, among other things. We thank Marcelo for his willingness and contributions and the comrades who made the interview possible.

THEY CAN IMPRISON THE BODY, BUT NOT THE IDEAS. FREE MARCELO!

• We would like to know about your current situation in the Rancagua prison and the relationship between the prisoners there. 

The transfer that took place in the first days of June this year, 5 months ago, corresponds with the repair, maintenance and re-foundation of the high and maximum–security system in the high and maximum–security prison in Santiago de Chile. In this place where the anti-capitalist fighters, the anarchic subversives of the last 25 years in the history of the Chilean prison structure have historically been housed.
