Anarchic and Subversive Words from Chilean Prisons for the International Week for Anarchist Prisoners

War cries; true sounds of freedom!!
In this week of solidarity with the anarchist prisoners, we make an open call to war, to continue and intensify the conflict against each expression of Power and to strengthen the ties of affinity for combat between all the anti-authoritarian sectors that exist and walk common paths.
It is from this position that we remember our comrades Sacco and Vanzetti as part of the broad sector of anarchic illegalism, who were called “the Galleanists”, who with bombs, expropriations and executions shook the North American soil at the beginning of the last century. Sustained in the creation and multiplication of affinity groups and in violent action, the illegalists expanded anarchic ideas from the facts, understanding that word and action are inseparable.
Since then, a lot of water has passed under the bridge, many have died and many comrades have been imprisoned who proudly have faced Power from the place where they have been, despite the ideas that translate into affinity and these actions have endured and are what today motivate the anarchist and subversive prisoners of the territory dominated by the Chilean State to continue the war from this confinement and in the streets, always keeping in mind the necessary harmony between prisoners and supportive accomplices who walk in confrontation with the normality of what exists.

Uruguay: Activity in Solidarity with Prisoners in Struggle in Chilean Prisons

———–
We invite you to participate in the Evening of Internationalist Solidarity with the prisoners in struggle in Chilean prisons to be held on Friday, August 13.
Since we understand the social struggle as a set of practices that involve reflection, projection and offensive action against the state-capitalist system, as well as the moral and economic support of our comrades repressed by the State and its prison system of annihilation, we believe it is essential to become familiar with the situation of our comrades in prison and to take an active part in internationalist solidarity.

 Greece : In Malandrinos prison the cases of Covid-19 are increasing exponentially every day

In the Wing-1, where the rebels from Turkey are being held, on 15 August 2 prisoners tested positive, and less than a week later 14 more tested positive. The prison administration is responsible for this situation. Because they have no prevention policy against Covid-19. On August 15 where the 2 prisoners were diagnosed positive, they did not take any prevention measures, on the contrary they continued to hold all the prisoners together.
On August 17, several more prisoners were infected. But they only ran five tests, because there were no diagnostic kits. Of the five, three tested positive. After that, they said that the quarantine sections were full and they locked everyone in their cell and said we are in general quarantine. On August 20, after continued pressure from the prisoners, they were tested and 14 more were diagnosed positive.

[Chile] With anarchy, beyond limits!

“In seeking the impossible, man has always realized and recognized the possible. And those who have wisely limited themselves to what they thought possible have never taken a single step forward.” Mikhail Bakunin
Intervention in the prelude to this June 11 in international solidarity with Marius Mason and all long-term anarchist prisoners.
As of this day, more than 50 anarchists are being held in prisons around the world. An intimate embrace of the wind to those who in their anarchic path have not been satisfied with democratic passivity and have broken with the tranquility of those who hold power. To those who for different circumstances have had to navigate their confinement with cunning many times, but always with their heads held high, because becoming one more inhabitant of these prisons is such a possibility for us – the anarchic subjects – even when taking precautions in combat, and that must be taken into account. In the same way, just as imprisonment can strike us, there are also a thousand and one reasons to directly strike the structures of Capital. And why not strike the very promoters of the established order, generating the worst of winter storms, because in the practice of combat there are no limits, and the use of violence is always possible as long as it is dignified. Perhaps the names on the path of anarchy are repeating themselves: Severino Di Giovanni; Simon Radowitsky; The Bonnot Gang; The Russian Nihilists; Nicola Gai and Alfredo Cospito; Pola Roupa; Nikos Maziotis and how many more comrades that we have not named to our own detriment. Those who with successes and errors knew how to reconfigure and elevate anarchist action, in their own times and contexts, attacking the enemy where it hurts the most – submerging their souls in fear in their privileged domains, in those places where they never in their despicable lives thought they might feel threatened.

August radio show for Solidarity Week of the Anarchist Radio from Dresden (Germany)

The struggle for a more just world brings anarchists around the world into the clutches of the prison system. It is up to us, the people outside the prisons, to support our comrades.
Especially in the last year of increased isolation due to visitation bans and severe restrictions on contact, it is important to think of people behind bars. You may not know these people, you may not speak their language, and you will most likely never meet them. But by your actions, you show that they are welcome in this world. They are more welcome than prison guards and judges, more welcome than presidents and kings. So let your solidarity flow through the walls of the prisons and fight until all are free!
The radio show is recorded in german language.

Metz, France – Boris hospitalised: call for action and solidarity

25 August 2021
Our friend and comrade Boris has been in an induced coma in the burns unit of the Grand Est hospital in Metz since the morning of Saturday 7 August 2021 following a fire in his cell. His condition is life-threatening, his respiratory tract being highly damaged by smoke and ash. A  first skin graft operation will be carried out as soon as his state of health allows it.
Right away, a journalist from Lorraine Actu, Antony Speciale, rushed to take up the version of the facts provided by Fadila Doukhi, regional delegate of the Force Ouvrière prison union.
Priority was given to the vultures of the media of course, the prison did not even bother to inform the family until late in the day, long after publication in the news columns. Not surprisingly, the guards were congratulated for their responsiveness to this event, which had been directly produced by a year’s imprisonment.

Montreuil,France : Smoke signals of solidarity

via: attaque
Last night, we wanted to send a message of solidarity to Boris, an anarchist comrade who is in  coma because of a fire in his cell in the Nancy-Maxèville prison.
In Montreuil gentrification is advancing by leaps and bounds with new buildings for a more affluent population attracted by the extension of the metro. We’re no admirers of the poor slums and traffic-ridden neighbourhoods, a simple form of capitalism, albeit illegal. But the labyrinth of alleys between the small self-built houses has its charm and allows other relationships between the people who live there, less dictated by money. A different relationship to the State too. The winding alleys make video surveillance less effective, which is also advancing in Montreuil (as everywhere in Paname).
