Athens, Greece : for the anarchist comrade Harris Mantzouridis
Athens: for the anarchist comrade Harris Mantzouridis
On 13/10/21 the state mechanism through the ELAS ( general greek police} and more specifically the ΥΔΕΖΙ (crimes against property) service proceeded with the kidnapping of comrade Harry Mantzouridis outside his house, where he lives with his partner and their child. The tactic is well known and much used over the years, they surrounded him, ostensibly to take him to the GADA (Attica General Police Directorate) under the pretext of arraignment because after an “anonymous phone call” (sic) a week earlier, he was suspected of robbery and was summarily found handcuffed, beaten before the eyes of the surprised neighbourhood and surrounded by the security guards.
We know the character of the police officers and if there is a reason to analyze and enumerate their atrocities, it is simply so that one does not forget who we are up against and what they are capable of doing. For the organs of the state it is just a Wednesday where they use disproportionate violence to stomp on a man in front of his young child, it is just a Wednesday when they handcuffed a man who is not charged with anything and according to them is indicted, it is just a Wednesday when they defame a man and spread the word that he molested a young girl, it was just a Wednesday.

GR: Από το κέντρο του Σαντιάγο, μια περιοχή που κυριαρχείται από το κράτος της Χιλής, διαδίδουμε τη λέξη. Οι δρόμοι μιλούν δικαιώνοντας τους συντρόφους μας,ελευθεριακούς,αυτόνομους, ανατρεπτικούς κρατούμενους που κράτησαν τις γροθιές τους ψηλά με σαφήνεια και αποφασιστικότητα όλα τα χρόνια του εγκλεισμού όπου η εξουσία τους έθαψε κάτω από τόνους σκυροδέματος και μετάλλου φυλακής για περισσότερα από 24 χρόνια φυλάκισης σε 3 διαφορετικές περιόδους που δεν μπόρεσαν να παραβιάσουν την απόφαση να πολεμήσουν ενάντια στην εξουσία και κάθε εξουσία.
EN/ GR/ ES : AS LONG AS POVERTY EXISTS THERE WILL BE REBELLION! Concepción 8th region, territory dominated by the Chilean State, winter 2021.
When persistence and insistence becomes a war cry that spreads through different territories and in different languages, but with the same language of war as the genuine voice of struggle for the destruction of prison society, capitalist normality, domination and all its devices of assimilation, control and punishment.
This cry came out of prison more than 20 years ago and was reaffirmed again loudly almost 13 years ago and today. It is part of the practical-theoretical arsenal of many in the unavoidable framework of the Social War!!!
“AS LONG AS POVERTY EXISTS THERE WILL BE REBELLION!!!!

ΟΣΟ ΥΠΑΡΧΕΙ ΜΙΖΕΡΙΑ ΘΑ ΓΙΝΕΤΑΙ ΕΞΕΓΕΡΣΗ!! Περιοχή Concepción 8a, περιοχή όπου κυριαρχεί το κράτος της Χιλής, χειμώνας 2021.
Όταν η επιμονή (και η ισχυρογνωμοσύνη) μετατρέπονται σε μια ανεξίτηλη πολεμική κραυγή που εξαπλώνεται σε διαφορετικά εδάφη και σε διαφορετικές γλώσσες αλλά με την ίδια γλώσσα πολέμου ως γνήσια φωνή στον αγώνα για την καταστροφή της κοινωνίας των φυλακών, της καπιταλιστικής κανονικότητας, της κυριαρχίας και όλων των συσκευών αφομοίωσης, ελέγχου και τιμωρίας.
Critical Perspectives on Uruguayan Prisons
A week ago, thanks to the official media, it became common knowledge that a young first-time inmate within the prison system was doubly kidnapped: first by the State and secondly by another group of inmates, where he was tortured for several weeks. The number of days varies according to the media outlet.
We do not want to detail the suffering to which this person was subjected, as we are well aware that the atrocities committed are appalling. Instead, we consider it more important to emphasize that these events of great magnitude are a consequence, not only of the prison as a system and institution, but also of the world that encompasses it.
France – A letter from isolation, a poem and a drawing that escaped from inside a prison
On 8th December 2020, several searches took place all over France, leading to the arrest of nine people. After 96 hours in custody at DGSI (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Intérieure) [General Direction of Internal Security], seven of them were charged with “criminal association of a terrorist nature”. Five of these people were subsequently imprisoned, all as “prisoners submitted to special surveillance” (DPS). At the end of April 2021, after five months of freedom deprivation, two of them were released. More recently, in mid-October 2021, another comrade was released on bail conditions in spite of the prosecutors’ appeal. These arrests took place in a context of the growing criminalization of social movements. Recourse to the charge of criminal association is being increasingly made to break up militant collectives and to crush the struggle. We have been seeing an excess of legislation for several years: a law on global security, a law on separatism, the Darmanin decrees, the SILT law, etc.… the administrative authority is gaining the upper hand on judicial power. With the enforcement of a form of predictive justice, everyone is allegedly guilty and people are judged on the basis of a presumption of their intentions. The letter that follows, as well as the poem and the drawing are from the comrades still imprisoned.
A letter from isolation – Bois d’Arcy – Summer 2021
For more than a month and a half I’ve wanted to write about isolation again but I can’t begin, I can’t concentrate enough. Either my mind evaporates into nothing like a little cloud or it condenses in a sort of molasses so dense that it blocks everything in my brain and gives me a headache. Even if the former might appear lighter (it is like being drugged and in a state of confusion), both situations give me a painful sensation. In fact, witnessing the loss of one’s intellectual abilities and one’s decadence is a particularly violent sensation. It is in this mental condition that I am working on this text.

NOT A STEP BACK
25/10/2021
The masks of hypocrisy are slowly falling apart and the real reasons for the rejection of my request for leave are being revealed.
According to the prison council, which rejected my request for leave for the third time, the reason was the very text I had published last June when my request was rejected for the second time.
Here is the whole rationale for the prison council’s decision: “As it is clear from recent public statements and views expressed via the internet in the public media through which he urges an indefinite number of persons to commit criminal offenses and which are taken into account as elements of his conduct and personality in general,
and of his general personality, it does not appear with certainty that there is no risk of committing new criminal acts (during his leave) occasioned by these statements.
Surveillance and Other Nuisances
From Counter-Surveillance Resource Center
An evaluation of the observation and surveillance of the three anarchists convicted in the so-called “Parkbank trial”.
In this text, we will try to summarize the observation and investigation measures around the “Parkbank trial”, and to clarify some points that might be important for people with a heightened interest in privacy.
It should be emphasized at the outset that everything is based on the cops’ files and our conclusions. The security apparatus is naturally reluctant to show its cards and, even in criminal proceedings, only discloses the parts of its reports that it believes are absolutely necessary. As expected, the release of the entire surveillance protocols, which was requested by the lawyers, was refused. Thus, our reports are also incomplete. Draw your own conclusions, but do not consider anything as established truth – we are telling a story here, which the cops have compiled in a file!
Draguignan (Var), France: Damien Camelio, anarchist comrade, jailed again.
source Indymedia Lille / Friday 5 November 2021
Anarchist comrade Damien Camelio is in pre-trial detention on charges of “attempted kidnapping”, “ambush”, “violence”, and “death threats”, “defamation”.
He has prepared a lengthy statement which he will make at his trial on 8 November 2021.
The trial will take place in a courtroom open to the public.
The comrade Delphine Dagnicourt will also be in the court for the same charges and complicity, she has assumed and claimed her association and the ideas of defended freedom.
We wish to make this trial about justice and the patriarchal masculinist society.

Anarchist Sergey Romanov sentenced to 1 year in jail (BELARUS)
01/11/2021
A few weeks before the trial on the case of anarcho-partisans, Gomel judge Hlyshchankov Alexei Anatolievich (https://t.me/BlackBookGomel/266) sentenced Sergei Romanov to a year in prison for violation of state supervision.
This story began after Romanov’s release in 2019: local operatives from the GUBOP actively built up administrative cases against the activist and tried to shut him down even before the 2020 elections. Due to appeals against administrative cases, they failed to do so, and in October 2020 Romanov was detained in the case of anarcho-partisans with Dmitry Rezanovich, Dmitry Dubovsky, and Igor Olinevich. According to Romanov himself, his case was handled by Yermoshkin Denis Aleksandrovich (https://t.me/karatelibelarusi/6905), a GUBOP operative.
