On 8^th 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.

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!

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.

FREEDOM FOR SUBVERSIVE AND ANARCHIST PRISONERS!

On September 22, 2021, the anarchist comrade Francisco Solar was hospitalized inside the La Gonzalina prison in Rancagua after being diagnosed with diabetes and found on the verge of a coma. Today the comrade was returned to the maximum security module 2 and since then medical staff/prison guards have tried to stabilize him with negligent and insuficient treatment.

Immediately, both Francisco and the network of solidarity on the outside began to make efforts to obtain the services of a private doctor to carry out a series of examinations, modify his diet and move towards as autonomous a treatment as possible for Francisco, to avoid depending on the mood swings of the prison guards to obtain insulin.

As expected, the Gendarmerie (Prison authority) has given no response or provisions either for the entry of a private doctor nor the release of the comrades’s medical file.

The only certainty: some reflections on the “revolt” of October 18th

It has been two years since the wave of mass demonstrations that began on October 18, 2019 and lasted in the streets much longer than the media “reported”. Many of us may have participated in those events in some way. And now, after the decline, and on the occasion of the anniversary, there are a few things worth pointing out, always with the aim of sharpening critiques and continuing the conflict.

(I) Revolt(s) and confrontation during the century of $hilean democracy.

The “revolt”, as many have wanted to call it, meant a generalized breaking point of the “normality” consolidated by the democracies of this territory during the XXI century. This class of “critical” moments is not alien to any government, and, for our part, it is absolutely necessary for us to take into account that the conflict with this normality existed from before and continues to exist after the events of October 18. That is why we cannot forget all the expressions of attack and confrontation that have taken place so far during this period, even though they have definitely not had the stir or the massiveness of the events of October 18 (and probably did not seek to).

Today, Wednesday 20th October 2021 , the court of Melipilla sentenced our comrade Pablo Bahamondes Ortiz, “Oso”, to 15 years and one day’s prison, for transport of weapons.

For those who engage in conflict against the State and power, there is no doubt that subversion does not die or stagnate.
