France, Crest (Drôme): Two nights of tagging
[…] After a first major wave of tagging on the night of Tuesday 23 to Wednesday 24 of November 21 ,it was the same again last night. The taggers struck hard, “bombing” the walls of the cemetery and the Armorin high school, as well as numerous facades. Messages in round letters and written in black paint, with anarchist tendencies, flanked by the acronym of the circled A for some. On the facades or walls of businesses, one could read: “Ecocidal bastards”, “Support for Guadeloupe”, “Let’s free ourselves from slavery” or “If a policeman says papers, if I answer scissors, I’ve won?

BARCELONA,SPAIN: WORKSHOPS AGAINST EXTRACTIVISM AND ITS WORLD.
(Glasgow,Scotland) Banner Drop at the Greek Consulate for the 13 years since the state murder of anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos in Greece(en,Gàidhlig,gr)
[GLASGOW] Banner Drop at the Greek Consulate for the 13 years since the state murder of anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos.
‘A bullet in the heart of Alexandros to close the circle of the statist machine’s omnipotence. A bloodstain on the Messolonghiou pedestrian street to open the circle of rebellion that wrecked the legal order and sowed chaos and anarchy in all cities throughout Greece.’
– Nikos Romanos, Requiem for a Journey of No Return.
As of today, 6/12/2021, it has been 13 years since the Greek state murdered the anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos. Alexis was shot by two cops, E. Korkoneas and V. Saraliotis, in the neighbourhood of Exarcheia, following minor clashes with the police. As soon as the news of Alexis’s murder broke, a spontaneous insurrection began. Protests, riots, expropriations and occupations of public buildings were but some of the collective expressions of rage. Despite the attempts of state and capital to depoliticise the murder, we must not forget that Alexis was killed because of his political beliefs – he challenged in practice the authority of the police and, by extension, that of the state. This is the violence faced every day by those whose existence the state deems undesirable, those who are a threat to their social order.

—————————–
A new repressive operation, named “Sibilla”, is targeting anarchists in Italy.
At dawn on November 11, there were numerous raids in different cities (Cagliari, Cosenza, Cremona, Genoa, Lecce, Massa, Perugia, 
Rome, Taranto, Spoleto and Viterbo) and 6 companions were served with judicial surveillance warrants. Alfredo Cospito, already imprisoned in Terni, was given a preventive detention order (sic!). Michele, companion from Spoleto, has been placed under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. Four other companions are under various forms of judicial control (forbidden to leave the region they live in, obligation to report to the police station three times a week).
The comrades are charged with the crime provided for by article 270 bis (association with the purpose of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order), because of the design, printing and distribution, also by digital means, of the anarchist newspaper Vetriolo, as well as for tagging walls with content considered as incitement, in addition to a case of damage to property belonging to others. In addition, they are charged under art. 414 (provocation to crimes and misdemeanors), for the drafting and dissemination of communiqués with content inciting the commission of crimes against the State, with the aim of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order.

Toulouse, France: Banner and tags for the Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR)
“GOLDEN CAGES REMAIN CAGES”
“STATE TRANSPHOBIA, TRANSPHOBIA IN OUR HEADS = DEATH”
“RETALIATION, REVENGE, ATTACK (AGAINST GENDER)”
The “transfriendly” governments use our struggles as progressive vindication to continue their same transphobic, capitalist, colonialist shit… Their so-called integration into this system can in no way be liberating and emancipating. It gives legitimacy to the State to reinforce its power and control our lives and bodies.

Montevideo, Uruguay: Mobilization at the Chilean Embassy in Solidarity With Anarchist Comrade Francisco Solar
Metz, France: News about anarchist comrade Boris
Contrary to what we had hoped for, stopping the sedation about a month and a half ago was not the beginning of a full recovery. Boris is still in the burn unit of the hospital in Metz, in the intensive care unit. His condition is fragile and unstable. He is still not able to speak or write. It is not known how long it will take for him to regain his abilities.
Moreover, his belongings cannot be recovered in prison. Therefore, it can be imagined that the investigation of the cell fire is still ongoing.
News will be given according to the evolution of the situation.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Intervention at MarCom tzelepoglou – Solidarity with Francisco Solar
Originally published by SAKM. Translated by Dark Nights.
“Prison is another point of struggle at the post-conflict level – the anti-authoritarian conflict is not over for me, it has just changed form”
M. Caballero
24/7/20 in Chilean territory, anarchists Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar are arrested, accused of parcel-bombing. Specifically, for a bomb that exploded in the Huechuraba police station, leaving a cop seriously injured, – and one that was defused by the GOPE (operational police group), a bomb in the office of Rodrigo Hinzpeter, former minister and current manager of the Quiñenco company (one of Chile’s largest business groups), and finally, for planting two bombs in the Tánica building. Since 24/7, therefore, the comrades have been held in custody and have remained in the cells of the republic ever since.
Video report-back: TagX demo after Köpi Wagenplatz eviction (Germany)
Here are a few videos of the #b1510 köpi tagX demo from public sources, edited more or less chronologically without regard to copyright. Unfortunately, there are hardly any shots from the front of the demo or overview shots because pixelating would have been too much effort and because there are also few.
there are probably no public videos of the attack on the akelius headquarters at erkelenzdamm 11-13 and so on, and the 4 minutes only show a small section of the large and widespread demo.

Leipzig, Germany: Actions after demo bans
Leipzig, 23/24 October 2021
The police enforced the ban on demonstrations in Leipzig with a large contingent on Saturday. However, as darkness fell, arson broke out. Among other things, several vehicles were set on fire in front of a car dealership.
After the ban on three left-wing demonstrations in Leipzig, there were individual incidents on Sunday night, especially in the south of the city. According to the police, five vehicles belonging to a car dealership were set on fire in Richard-Lehmann-Straße at around 0:22 am. Police arrested two men and two women aged between 18 and 24 at the scene. No one was injured, but there was property damage in the lower six-figure range. In the west of Leipzig, two cars also burned in Neue Gutenbergstraße. It was a similar story in Große Fleischergasse, where one car was on fire and four other cars were damaged by the heat.
Police pelted with stones
There was further action in the Bornaische Straße area. According to MDR reporters, there was an attempt at a spontaneous demonstration there at 11 pm, but it failed. Around 0:40 a.m., a trash bin as well as branches and wooden slats burned in the street. Several people blocked the tram with them. When the police tried to extinguish and remove the barricade, the officers were pelted with stones, according to reporters. A short time later, a squad of hundreds arrived with water cannons and evacuation tanks. According to the reports, the stone-throwers fled. An allegedly uninvolved drunk man who was warming his hands by the fire was arrested.
EN/ES/ The Greek Police and State are Murderers. Nikos Sampani, a Roma Youth, Shot Dead by Greek Police
22.10.2021 The police and the State assassinated Nikos Sampani, a Roma youth, and seriously injured another in a brutal racist shooting in Perama (Greece) with the complicity of the media which covered up the events.
Greece, Attica, Perama. Last night, October 22, 2021, yet another incident of extreme police violence and arbitrariness took place. A D.IAS team killed an 18 year old Roma youth and seriously injured another. The police chased a vehicle that failed to stop when signaled. The chase, which started from the Renti area, continued to Perama where the police did not hesitate to start shooting at the people in the car, who were unarmed, firing 38 bullets with 7 service weapons in a residential area. Inside the car, the 18-year-old was killed, the 16-year-old was wounded and evacuated, and the 15-year-old escaped.
Solidarity with Lina, one year after the cops kidnapped her (Germany)
On November 5, 2020, Lina was kidnapped by the police and taken into custody on charges of „having formed and being part of a criminal organization“ („Bildung und Mitgliedschaft einer kriminellen Vereinigung“). Her criminalization falls under the legal appeal of §129 of criminal code. A legal section which is part of the anti-insurgent structures of the German state, and which is made known to the public as „Anti-Terrorist“ laws.
The current cases under §129 all have certain points in common: what is criminalized are not only actions, but political ties, shared ideas and solidarity. Thus, people who do not define themselves as a group are criminalized because of their shared political ideals, which are often the only excuse with which the state forcibly constructs such dangerous organizations. Organizations that enables its repressive attacks intimately consistent, seeking to destroy the possibility of a personal life -individual and collective- of those who are understood as a potential danger to the Status Quo.
Raids, wiretapping, preventive detention… What is the interest of the state in entering the personal life of an anti-facist? Where does this information go? Without going into legalistic explanations nor into the particular mechanisms of this trial, it is interesting to see that a case of „Criminal Organization“ is built with the accusation of having beaten with Nazis, and that this accusation has the character of „affecting the existence and security of the state“. The existence of which state is being affected? The security of which ideals is endangered by antifacism? In the court room there is not space for individual cases, the hearings are not about the accused persons and their alleged acts. They and their lawyers are fillers forced to take part on this play, in which the federal prosecution and the judges reproduce the sovereignty of the nation-state, and try to bury the idea that other worlds are possible under the banality and cruelty of the criminal process.
