EN/FR/IT/ES Updates about the situation of Claudio Lavazza (France)
Updates about the situation of Claudio Lavazza
The prosecutor Céline Bucau of the Mont de Marsan Court, after months of pretexts and procrastination to avoid pronouncing the total amount of years that Claudio still has to serve, yesterday – January 11 – came to the decision that the concurrent sentence (of his Spanish and French sentence) should amount to 30 years.
The French justice system thus adds 5 years (out of the 10 years to which Claudio was sentenced for bank robbery in France) to the 25 year Spanish sentence.
Now that the concurrent sentence has been defined, the lawyer can present an appeal to the Appeal Court of Pau for our comrade to be released on parole. The parole possibilities are going to be considered based on the years he has already served (25 years). Continue reading EN/FR/IT/ES Updates about the situation of Claudio Lavazza (France)
ITALY: THE CENSORSHIP OF CORRESPONDENCE FOR ALFREDO COSPITO WAS RENEWED
We inform that in January the censorship of correspondence (incoming and outgoing) to anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, currently imprisoned for a 20-year sentence in the ‘Scripta Manent’ trial, was renewed. We remind that censorship was also previously ordered between September and December 2021.
Alfredo was recently subject of an arrest order in the context of the ‘Sibilla’ operation of November 11, as he is accused of incitement to commit crimes with the aggravating circumstance of the purpose of terrorism, in relation to the publication of the anarchist paper ‘Vetriolo’. The arrest order was subsequently annulled by the court of re-examination of Perugia on December 16, while the case against all the investigated comrades remains open.
Revolutionary solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists.

“Between the weichan and the social war: An urgent and necessary path of encounters”. Words of Marcelo Villarroel for the activity “Complicity in Resistance”. (Chile)
We share the following words of Marcelo Villarroel sent for the activity “Complicity in Resistance” carried out by Espacio Fénix on December 12 at the Comedor Popular Luisa Toledo in solidarity with the autonomy of the Mapuche people. Reading this that same day allowed us to nourish the event with even more experiences, for which we thank the comrade who accompanied us from prison with his words and reflections.
Between the weichan and the social war: An urgent and necessary path of encounters.
I was born in a country that bequeathed me a nationality that does not represent me and that I rejected in a practical way since I embraced the path of struggle, receiving from it only punishment, repression and death.
A set of codes and values of a history that feel alien to me, a hybrid identity written with ancestral blood, mashed up with hegemonic western European rationality until the present and with strong identity ties between power and its supporters and false critics.

18 to 20 years’ imprisonment for Belarusian anarcho-partisans ( Belarus)
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.

Chile : A few simple words. Statement from anarchist comrade prisoner Ignacio Avaca
A few simple words. Statement from comrade Ignacio Avaca
There are many things I’d like to say to you and in my opinion words will always fall short to express the intensity and particularity of what I feel. I would like to thank each and every one of you without having to repeat “thank you”, but rather with a hand when you need it, with deeds, not letters. However, at this moment, perhaps the only action I have left is to continue resisting as I have done till now, together with my blood brother, and with the subversive brothers and sisters here in Rancagua, Santiago or any prison in the world.

Updates news about Anarchist prisoners Marios Seisidis and Charis Mantzouridis (Athens,Greece)
After his transfer to the Korydallos Prisoner Psychiatric Hospital on 24/12 and resulting negative in a rapid test conducted for preventive reasons, comrade Charis Mantzouridis was placed in “quarantine” in the only space they have, in the disciplinary isolation infrastructure.
We talked about this space in the previous update, when the comrade was transferred there. It is a cell with a broken window, freezing, with mattresses ripped open, with blood and excrement everywhere, with food discarded by everyone, with prisoners constantly being added to the same place, abolishing even the supposed concept of quarantine. As we said at the time, the situation in this place is but a small example of the overall barbaric condition of keeping all prisoners in prison and the minimal measures taken to protect them from the pandemic.
On 30 December, after six days of his stay there, a rapid test was carried out again and he tested positive for the virus, and since then he has remained in isolation without the possibility of communication. It has been 17 days since the comrade has been in the prison within the prison, without medical supervision and without his relatives knowing anything about his health, both physical due to covid and mental.
Immediate release of comrade Charis Mantzouridis!
Prisoners’ lives matter!

CHILE: ON THE SITUATION OF MÓNICA CABALLERO SEPÚLVEDA.
On Tuesday, December 28th, our Anarchist comrade Mónica Caballero Sepúlveda, had a verbal and physical altercation with the inmate Denisse Llanos, detainee, who was returning from a punishment due to another quarrel she had provoked the same day in the morning. Monica expressed her refusal to share a cell with the inmate due to multiple differences with her behavior.
It is necessary to mention that the gendarmeria’s measure of installing Llanos right in the cell of her companion, returning from her punishment, is a clear provocation, in a context of tension both internal, such as overcrowding and the pressure of the prison itself, and external, such as the placement of explosive devices in gendarmeria’s facilities. It is for this reason that close to Monica went the next day to interviews with staff of the OSI (in charge of security of the prison) and the Chief of the prison Denisse Melgarejo to whom all the apprehensions, concerns and discomfort generated by this serious event in which our colleague was involved were expressed. Together with this, an authorized visit was requested, in which we were able to give Monica the support and affection of many.
