Solidarity fund for the imprisoned anarchist comrade Giannis Dimitrakis. (Greece)

Since 24/05, our friend and comrade, anarchist political prisoner Giannis Dimitrakis is being hospitalized at Lamia with heavy injuries from the murderous attack against him at Domokos prison. At the very moment, it appears that Giannis has overcomed the danger of the first hours. The injuries that he sustained however, have caused multiple hematomas in the head that influence basic functions of his brain.

At the very moment, it appears that Giannis has overcomed the danger of the first hours. The injuries that he sustained however, have caused multiple hematomas in the head that influence basic functions of his brain. On Sunday 30/05, many of us gathered outside of the hospital of Lamia. We shouted slogans just a few meters away from his bedroom window to express our solidarity, even though Giannis could not hear us. Since then, his state seems to be improving. For his health to be fully restored, however, continuiing monitoring from specialized medical personell is required for several months. It is obvious that such care cannot be given in the prison environment.

GREECE: STATEMENT BY ANARCHIST GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS AT THE COURT FOR THE ARRESTS IN AGIA PARASKEVI
Once again I face a tribunal that I do not accept to judge my decisions and my actions. I have already stated my position on the State, capital, the established order of inequality and the widespread enslavement and exploitation of people and nature, the gradual transformation of the planet into an immense prison for every living thing. I have opposed the laws that sustain the murderous State order, both in word and deed. I have tried to be consistent in my position vis-à-vis law and order every time I have been dragged into the dock by the organs of its enforcement, not participating in the hypocritical process of every trial that always pretends to validate the State’s control over life and liberty.
I have paid the price of my choices by spending almost 8 years of my life inside penitentiary institutions, which are the centre of the social panopticon, the fear to discipline society and the tool for the reproduction of crime in terms of integration into the dark capitalist economy. Where in the name of the Law the walls suffer a generalized injustice. There in the grey zone of the law where the bones and souls of people are smashed to be thrown away morally and economically broken with no choice but to feed the prison monster with their despair. Providing the perfect alibi for the supposed necessity of the law and the building of the State of society. Of course, the outrages, which, if revealed, are labeled isolated incidents, are actually structural elements of the system and take place under the control or supervision of various officials and servants of the State, the «corrupt» and those who passively tolerate them so as not to jeopardize their positions or careers.

CHILE: PALABRAS DE MÓNICA CABALLERO DESDE LA CÁRCEL DE SAN MIGUEL.
Compañerxs, amigxs y familiares:
Nuevamente les escribo desde una celda. Me encuentro recluida en la cárcel de San Miguel, durante 14 días permaneceré aislada por protocolo de prevención de contagio al COVID-19, posteriormente me clasificarán y me llevarán a un módulo definitivo.
Ya son casi 10 años desde la primera vez que pisé la cárcel como
imputada. Durante estos años mi vida de alguna u otra manera, siempre ha estado ligada a las prisiones, si bien los sistemas de control pueden cambiar, pero su estructura esencialmente no, se sigue buscando el castigo y el arrepentimiento.

Prison of Nancy-Maxeville, France: Why I burned the two antennas of Mont Poupet

Hi, I’m Boris. I’ve been incarcerated in the Nancy Maxéville prison for 9 months now for the burning of two cell towers in the Jura in April 2020.
If I decide only now to write a few public words about my case, it is mainly because the State has just judged me and it seems vital to me to put down on paper my impressions and my rage against this techno-totalitarianism which have not faded at all since I have been locked up. On the contrary.
While the States were agreeing to muzzle the population by summoning it to stay quietly at home under the pretext of curbing the covid-19 pandemic, waves of sabotages broke out in France and in Europe (Netherlands, England, Italy,. From East to West, from South to North of France, pylons have been knocked down, their cables cut and most of them burned by dozens, interrupting telecommunications, the geolocation of cell phones and the spying of those in the target of the repression organs.

CHILE: COMMUNICATION FROM ANARCHIST PRISONER MÓNICA CABALLERO

via: anarquia.info Translated by Act for freedom now!
June 22, 2021
In the last days of the first week of June, the Gendarmería de Chile (Genchi) carried out a massive transfer of prisoners from the Cárcel de Alta seguridad (CAS) to the prison of Rancagua, capital of the O’Higgins region, 87 kilometres south of Santiago.
The prisoners include the Anarchists and Subversives: Juan Aliste Vega, Marcelo Villarroel, Mauricio Hernández Norambuena, Juan Flores, Joaquín García and Francisco Solar.
The transfer of these prisoners was motivated by modifications in the infrastructure of the CAS, which will last approximately one year. Once the works are finished, the prisoners will be returned to the prison according to the information provided by GENCHI, meanwhile my comrades will be away from their affective and political environment. In this way, not only is the prisoner being punished, but also their friends, comrades and family members.
It is also important to emphasize that in the territory dominated by the Chilean State, free transit between regions is not allowed due to measures for the prevention of the spreading of Covid 19.

Chile : New Hunger Strike and Uprising by Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners in Rancagua Prison

first publish on 15.6.2021
FACING A NEW HUNGER STRIKE, MOBILIZATION AND STRUGGLE FROM COMPANY PRISON RANCAGUA.
We assume the conflict with the state, prison and capital from the moment when we leave empty words and take action. With this, we assume the step to the offensive and the hostile consequences that come from the winding road of confrontation.
We do not need the permission, or the recognition of anyone to take the life in our hands and from there, build ties of affinity, of comradeship and brotherhood.
Clearly, this dynamic and constant process teaches us and calls us to always be attentive to the future of the struggle for total liberation.
Yes! We seek the total liberation of peoples, individuals and communities, a life away from the capitalist garbage, from the imposition of authoritarian rule affirmed, among other things, in the rotten politics of their agreements, solutions and cooked alliances, even between four walls, just to affirm the continuity of the Power that we hate in all its shapes and colors. Today, we are in a new chapter of real and concrete struggle in the Chilean prisons. Subversive and anarchist comrades of long convictions face the vengeance of the state in the first person together with our families, comrades, friends and the like. This reality is the struggle for the total destruction of prison society, not as a slogan on the air but in the daily and millimetric confrontation in the entire daily life of confinement. For decades, we have lived the political imprisonment that has never disappeared and that did not start on October 18, 2019. The same judicial, political-journalistic-police hostilities that today are denounced as unacceptable. we have lived them without pause for years.
