Chile: Words of Comrade Kuyen After 6 Months of Preventative Prison

March 30, 2024 / informativoanarquista

Time has passed since I wrote my last communique, concerning my situation as a prisoner as well as expressing my perspective and general reflections that I’ve gained in this process. Summarizing these six months that have passed, since I was detained and put in preventative prison by the state  I can only say that I remain equally convinced by the path that I’ve decided to take, even if I walk it alone or alongside other individuals. I’ve decided that my life will be eternal war, carrying this responsibility to the end of the consequences that it carries with it, always sustaining that ideas without actions that back them up aren’t worth anything.

This said, I was to speak about a point that’s been present with me for a while but which has been defined with clarity after half a year in preventative prison. This is about the supossed individuals who label themselves anarchists and anticarceral. These labels that they’ve decided to put on stagger at the first expression on the part of power or when these positions take an active role in the various situations that come up in this adverse and uncertain path. I can’t avoid pointing out that these “comrades” who consider themselves in solidarity but who, as I mentioned before, when it’s moment to do something concrete that requires leaving their comfort for the cause which they say they’re a part of or for the situation of another  comrade, they vanish.

Chile: Words of Anarchist prisoner Mónica Caballero on a New March 29th

“If the Streets Spoke”: Words of Mónica Caballero on a New March 29th

March 31, 2024 / informativoanarquista

If the streets of this city spoke, they’d tell us stories of barricades and of fire, mixed with sweat, blood and tears. In these stories would be the small and resilient figure of Luisa Toledo, who moved generations with a few words. It was also she who, the more years that passed since the murder of her sons Eduardo and Rafael at the hands of the police, never stopped going out on the street so that their death wouldn’t stop being commemorated and above all their lives as combatant youth.

Chile: Interview with Espacio Fénix EN/ES

ES: (Chile) Entrevista a Espacio Fénix

Opening the tensions of dialogue, we present the following section of interviews with individuals, collectivities and related spaces that make up the anarchic body in different parts of the world.

The interviews are a valuable contribution to the observation in detail and depth; they come, in a certain way, to broaden the view to give us feedback among comrades and to debate with perspectives and projections, that although they may be different, they converge in the ideas and practices of freedom against all authority.

Without further ado, we have in this first venture of dialogues the comrades of Espacio Fénix.

1-How and when did Espacio Fénix arise, and what projects converge in the space?

DEMO AT CARDIFF CITY PROBATION OFFICE FOR TOBY SHONE (UK)

DEMO AT CARDIFF PROBATION OFFICE FOR TOBY SHONE

On March 6th 2024, anarchists demonstrated outside Cardiff Probation Office to show their solidarity with Toby Shone as his parole pre-hearing meeting approaches. For the last 3 and a half years, probation officers including Lewis Thomas, Ashley Fussell, Gillian O’Brien, and Paul Smith amongst others at Cardiff probation office have collaborated with police such as Philip Gay at the National Security Division (NSD) and SouthWest Counter Terror Police (SWCTP) to target Toby for his anarchist beliefs and his alternative lifestyle. The UK police state is trying to criminalise such beliefs.

Toby was initially arrested on terrorism charges related to the 325.nostate.net website. This case fell apart the day before the trial in 2021. The Crown Prosecution Service had no evidence to offer the court. He was instead sentenced to three years and nine months in prison for a minor drugs charge. Released on licence in December 2022, Toby was recalled to prison on 19th September 2023 after attending a prisoner letter-writing night and dinner at the anarchist social centre BASE in Bristol. This meeting was being watched by two Counter Terror Officers.

His new request was submitted on 12 March and is expected on the one hand the relevant recommendation of the prison prosecutor, and on the other hand the relevant decision by the competent judicial council of Lamia.

LAMBROS FOUNTAS IS IMMORTAL by Pola Roupa and Nikos Maziotis (Greece)

 

 LAMBROS FOUNTAS IS IMMORTAL

10/03/2024

It has been 14 years since the death in a clash with policemen of our comrade Lambros Fountas on March 10, 2010. All these years, whether in the underground continuing the action of the Revolutionary Struggle when we dedicated to him the attack on the Central Bank-ECB-IMF in 2014, or in prison, we always had him on our minds. And of course he will be in our memory and our heart as long as we are alive.

It is known that when we assumed political responsibility for our participation in the Revolutionary Struggle, we publicly announced with the “Political Letter to the Society”, that Lambros Fountas was killed in a preparatory action of our organization, in an attempt to sabotage the country’s inclusion in the memorandum, i.e. in the program of the IMF, the ECB and the EU, something that had already been decided by the then government of G. Papandreou and we had predicted as an organization since the fall of 2009. He is the first and last dead fighter of the social resistance against the memoranda, against an era that opened with the imposition of the 1st loan agreement in the spring of 2010.

Greece – anarchist prisoner D. Chatzivasiliadis in solitary confinement because he remained consistent with his registered refusals.

Today 19/3, Dimitris Hatzivasiliadis was transferred to the prison of Diavata, to the manor of chief torturer Valsamis, for the appeal court of the expropriation of the bank in Thessaloniki (2021).

The comrade, as always in the dozens of transfers for courts that have been made in the two and a half years of his captivity, refused to be taken of hes clothes complicity.. This is a refusal won by political prisoners long ago and has been consolidated over the last 15 years. Before the investigation the comrade asked to have access to a payphone like every other prisoner, and a minimum of time in the yard, as provided by the penal code.

Following the appeal to this sentence, on March 27, 2024 the San Miguel Appeals Court will decide the final sentence of comrade Francisco. Mónica’s sentence was not appealed.

Fight against the masked life sentence given to anarchist comrade Franscisco Solar!
Solidarity and complicity with all who challenge the powerful and repressors!

————————————————————————————-

From La Zarzamora [https://lazarzamora.cl/?p=12168]

Following the defense’s appeal of the 86 year sentence of anarchist comrade Francisco Solar, this coming March 27, the San Miguel Appeals Court will dictate the definitive sentence.

This past week arguments were made for an annulment action entered by Francisco Solar’s defense before the San Miguel Appeals Court. This action, according to lawyer Nicolás Toro, of Francisco’s legal team, is based in “different infractions to the valuation of the trial, to sane critique and to errors of law in the sentence according to the criteria of the defense”.
