Bure: Solidarity with the evicted squats in Athens and Montreuil (Paris)
From the self-organised camp of meeting and struggles in Bure in the northeast of France we send a small sign of solidarity to our comrades from the evicted squats in Athens and Paris.
Here in Bure a local struggle is taking place for the last 30 years against the plans of the French state and the Andra company to install a burial unit oc nuclear waste. In the context of this struggle a 10 day camp was organised for individuals and teams from all over the world who struggle against the pillage of nature and build collective/self-organised structures in the countryside to meet. More infos about this struggle and the camp here:https://bureburebure.info/https://lpr-camp.org/

South London,UK : A solidarity benefit gig on Saturday, 2 September for Boris, an anarchist comrade in France
Static Noise – Benefit gig w/ Swaraj Chronos/Bug Central/Ashes of Death/Grunt/Revival of Death/Hearse Pileup
A solidarity benefit gig for Boris, an anarchist comrade in France who in 2021 was sentenced to 2 years in prison for burning down radio towers that housed the communications networks of the French police as well as all four mobile network operators.
During his time in prison a fire in his cell left him tetraplegic, and in need of a “state”-of-the-art wheelchair if he is to be mobile again.
Athens,Greece: ZIZANIA squatted social center in Viktoria and Ano Kato squatted steki in Patissia have been evicted,and some symbolic actions round Europe.
Update 25/8/23/, Cops are currently evicting Zizania squatted social center. We will update soon with plans for solidarity and resistance.
update 29/8/23, Cops are now putting sheet metal on the windows of Zizania. There are OPKE cops at the door.
We call for an immediate gathering at the corner of Feron and Aristotelous.
25/8/23 , ZIZANIA squatted social center in Viktoria and Ano Kato squated steki in Patissia have been evicted.
Zizania is a squatted social center that opened in early April 2021, during the second lock-down and shortly after the events of Nea Smyrni. In this context, we chose to open a squat in Viktoria– having in mind the hard repression that hit the squatting movement over the last years, the huge loss of organising spaces, the policing and privatisation of public spaces, and the marginalisation of the area of Viktoria and its struggles. We chose to squat this specific building both for its central location and its 30 year old history of being a self-organized space(with breaks) in this neighborhood of the marginalised, the left aside,the undesirable.
Viktoria is where we live, where we met, and in different ways became part of the area’s constant struggles. It’s a neighborhood of the marginalized— migrants, queer people, sex workers, drug users, poor people, and those the state and society pushes to the outside. It is created and maintained by racist police checks, fascist attacks, sexist harassment, forced social isolation, and deep housing precarity while replicating Greece’s external borders in its criminalisation of people of color through barriers to healthcare, documents, work and education.

Solidarity greetings for the Soli Week for Anarchist Prisoners 2023
Also here from Freiburg in southern Germany, solidarity and warm greetings for the Soli Week. For almost 27 years I have been observing the world behind bars from the perspective of a prisoner. First in pre-trial detention, later in criminal detention and finally since 2013 in preventive detention. Preventive detention was introduced in Germany in 1933, yes, it was the Nazis who amended the criminal law accordingly on 24.11.1933 – since then, people can be held in prison in Germany for an unforeseeable period of time even after serving their prison sentence. In the 1990s and 2000s, other European countries followed suit, always in the name of “public security”: Belgium, France, Sweden, Great Britain, Switzerland and many more.
In many cases, normal imprisonment is already a death sentence in instalments, first the soul dies, and often in the end the body dies as well. Just a few weeks ago, a man in his early 40s took his own life in the Freiburg preventive detention, apparently seeing no realistic prospect of regaining his freedom. His wife, children, adoptive mother and siblings mourn him – but so do some of the other inmates. However, it must be clear that prisoners also have the right to take their own lives. No one should be allowed to forbid them to do so. But it must also be asked what responsibility the state institutions bear for such a decision? It would be too easy to release them from their responsibility by referring to the autonomous decision of the respective inmates.

Letter from Ambro – anarchist prisoner in Chile for the Week of Solidarity
“I wish I could transform myself into a wolf, so I could sink my teeth into the womb of society in an orgy of destruction.” Bruno Filippi
From some corner of the Chilean prisons
Having finished my daily hours in the courtyard, from my cell I throw myself into writing a few lines in order to find a brief moment of freedom that will interrupt my prison reality.
If I think of anarchist solidarity, the first thing that comes to my mind is my arrival in prison, when my comrades who had already been held hostage for various political reasons took charge of orienting me and gave me the tools to survive in this hostile and indifferent world.

Prison and resistance. Talk with Gabriel Pombo da Silva 28 August in Leipzig (Germany)
Prison and resistance. Talk with Gabriel Pombo da Silva 28 August in Leipzig.
In the framework of the international week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners, this Monday, the 28th of August, there will be a talk with Gabriel Pombo da Silva at the Karl-Helga.
Gabriel is a well-known anarchist militant with a long history, who has spent more than 30 years in different prisons for his activities. On this occasion, we will talk about what this week of solidarity means and how important it is; at the same time, we will remember our comrades who are still behind bars or who have left us. For his part, Gabriel will tell us about his current situation (recently released), the repression of the anarchist movement and the meaning of prison within the system of domination and why we anarchists oppose it.
The talk will be streamed and will start at 6pm.
We invite you to bring something to eat to share with other participants.
Drinks will be available on site.

For an internationalist and anti-authoritarian mobilisation against the war. Second meeting in Rome, September 2nd, 2023 (Italy)
For an internationalist and anti-authoritarian mobilisation against the war. Second meeting in Rome, September 2nd, 2023
The discussion about the war in Ukraine on July 22nd in Rome was well attended by comrades and comrades from different territories and cities. A shared will emerged to help stop a massacre that threatens to drag us all — on this or that side of the frontline — towards an abyss with no return (be it the nuclear apocalypse or a state of permanent war between the different capitalist blocks, the repercussions of which are already being felt in our latitudes: war economy, increasing militarisation of society, demonisation of opinions, attack on all social and class struggles, iron fist against subversives and opponents…).
