March 15th, 2022 – 26th Annual International Day Against Police Brutality ( Canada)

From the Collective Opposed to Police Brutality
The evening of March 15th, was the 26th annual protest against police brutality. 26 years of marching, 26 years of systematic repression by police brutality, like an annual tradition that leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. The demonstrators decided to keep control of the sidewalks rather than be chased off the streets by violent and insulting police officers, and attacked the neighborhood’s worst businesses: Dollarama and the National Bank. Let’s remember that if Dollarama is a grocery store of last resort for the poor, it still sells unhealthy crap and is one of the worst companies in Quebec for abusing its workers. And on the other side, the National Bank is investing billions in several important oil projects. In the face of this self-defense of the poor against their oppressors, the police violently attacked the demonstration: truncheons, gas and beatings were the order of the day.

Ukraine: a technological war profiteer

Ukraine is using ClearView AI’s notorious facial recognition software
Le Temps (Switzerland), March 15, 2022
This is a surprise. Strongly criticized for its facial recognition system, the American company ClearView AI has recently started collaborating with the Ukrainian authorities. Its software should make it possible to identify Russians present on its territory, whether they are alive or dead. This rapprochement between the Ukrainian authorities and the New York firm was initiated by the latter which, according to revelations of the Reuters agency, offered its services for free to the country attacked by Russia.
Ukraine began Saturday to use the software ClearView AI, including to identify people at checkpoints. The goal is to identify Russians, presumably to unmask fighters infiltrating among civilians and wanting to engage in acts of sabotage. The director of ClearView AI, Hoan Ton-That, said that he will not offer his services to the Russian authorities. Continue reading Ukraine: a technological war profiteer →

Chenôve (Côte-d’Or) : burning the police stations (France)

A car set on fire in front of the municipal police of Chenôve, the building very damaged
Le Bien Public/France 3, 12 March 2022
This Saturday, at 4:15 a.m., GIS security guards alerted firefighters to a vehicle fire near the entrance of the Chenôve municipal police department. The vehicle had been voluntarily abandoned at this location. The flames attacked the reception of the building which is now unusable. Outside, the damage was still visible in the middle of the morning, especially at the level of the entrance door which burned.
This municipal police station adjoins the town hall building and faces the central square of the town, a stone’s throw from the streetcar terminal. All this happened downtown. For several days now, Chenôve has been facing a new episode of urban violence. Yesterday, the mayor of Chenôve, Thierry Falconnet, explained to our colleagues on France Bleu Bourgogne that “15 cars have been burned in three nights”. 40 CRS were called in as reinforcements.

France: Surveillance camera found outdoors, and one about an audio surveillance device found hidden inside the printer-copier of the anarchist library Libertad in Paris.

A surveillance camera was found at the entrance of the village, pointed towards the home of an environmental activist. The camera, barely emerging from the ground, was covered with brambles and grass. It was connected to a Pepwave router and to two cases containing high-tech lithium batteries labeled Accuwatt, hidden in a ditch, under a tarp and a camouflage net.
The case has been added to our list of surveillance devices, which can be downloaded here.
Here are pictures of the device found:

Update about Anarchist prisoner Toby Shone (UK)

Actforfree received by email:
Justice for Anarchist Prisoner Toby Shone!
Anarchist prisoner Toby Shone is being held in the Category B facility HM Prison Parc, a privately run prison in South Wales, despite being in reality a Category C or D prisoner who was eligible for Release on Temporary License (ROTL) on 21 January 2022, according to paperwork he received on 26th March 2022. ROTL is home leave from prison in preparation for release. Category B prisoners are not eligible for home leave.
Despite being found Not Guilty of political offences in court and with no evidence linking him to the website and publication 325.nostate.net, Toby is being held without legal process and without possibility of
redress as a Category B, High Risk prisoner where he is not eligible for ROTL (home leave). A probation official told Toby previously that his categorisation is a consequence of his anarchist beliefs, and the fact that he is considered by the authorities to act on those beliefs. This decision has been taken at a level above the Offender Management Unit (OMU) which is the unit Toby personally deals with.

Call to Action: International Day Of Solidarity April 4th, 2022

On Dec 8, 2020 a group of seven people were arrested by the French state for alleged terrorist association. All but one of them have been released with no specific charges beyond ‘criminal conspiracy,’ a charge that can be used to enhance sentences and strip away rights. Libre Flot was transferred to solitary confinement days after his arrest and is the only one of those arrested still behind bars.
Throughout his incarceration, the French state has attempted to say that Flot’s actions of joining the liberatory struggle against the Islamic State is the same as those who traveled to Syria to join ISIS.
As of Feb 27, Flot began a hunger strike in protest of the 14-plus months of pretrial detention, the allegation that seven people who did not even know one another committed a conspiracy, and the attempts of the French state to assert that those who fought the Islamic State are no different than the ISIS members they opposed.

FREEDOM TO ANARCHIST GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS – GATHERING – SOLIDARITY MARCH SATURDAY 9 APRIL 20:00 PM ΕXΑRCHEIA SQUARE (Athens,Greece)

GATHERING-SOLIDARITY MARCH
SATURDAY 9 APRIL 8PM ΕXΑRCHIA SQUARE
FREEDOM TO ANARCHIST GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS
STRUGGLE FOR THE RELEASE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS
Anarchist prisoner Giannis Michailidis has been imprisoned for more than 8 and a half years in the cells of democracy and 3 years in fugitive status in two different periods. His consistent commitment to the anarchist struggle, his unrepentant stance in front of the executioners of bourgeois justice, his practical questioning of the world of power and bourgeois legitimacy has put him in the crosshairs of the repressive and judicial mechanisms for years.
Giannis was prosecuted on the basis of a trumped-up charge of the mass revolt of the prisoners of Korydallos prison against the violent seizure of the then hunger-striking anarchist prisoner Dinos Giagtzoglou.
A persecution that targeted, without any evidence beyond solidarity texts, all the political prisoners of that period in order to put them in a new regime of hostage-taking, discontinued leaves, transfer from rural prisons, etc. Faced with the risk of prolonging his imprisonment and being transferred from the rural prisons where he was being held Giannis chose freedom, making an escape that allowed him to walk the paths of freedom for which he has fought consistently and at great cost throughout his life.

Trentino, Italy – Some solidarity communiques and texts following the latest repressive operation

Notifications
On the latest custodial measures
In this epoch of total falsification (“of facts and of news supporting facts”), certain words of our everyday lives tell the truth, unwillingly. “Notification” is one of these. That the word expresses simultaneously an algorithmic order that comes up on a smartphone and a police-judicial document whereby you are fined or subjected to custodial measures, here is something that tells us a lot about the world we live in.
The latest operation in Trentino – so bizarre that it doesn’t even merit one of those names with which carabinieri’s and the political police’s special units express their literary desires – contains some elements that deserve to be known.
The first concerns the modality of execution. It had never happened to us to see eight face-covered police in plain clothes come to notify… a mandatory residence order to a comrade, without even a house search to follow.

Cavaillon (Vaucluse) France: 12 construction machines out of order

Cavaillon (Vaucluse) France: 12 construction machines out of order
Communiqué action zac
A few days ago we put 12 construction machines of the future ZAC des Hauts Banquets (concerted development zone) out of action, in the commune of Cavaillon. Let’s be clear: every year, in France, more than 60,000 hectares are artificially developed. The equivalent of a department every 7 years. At this rate, in 100 years, half of the territory will have disappeared under concrete and commercial zones.
Faubourg Promotion, the promoters of the project, assure us that ransacking 46 hectares of fertile agricultural land is tantamount to building an “ecosystem designed around biodiversity”. The techno-park they promise us is certified as a “Park +, Committed Park”, “Eco Parc Vaucluse”, it would participate in “green growth”, would be “virtuous”, “responsible” and even “positive energy”… Capitalism, in its mortifying madness, ravages the very meaning of words. The Hauts Banquets farmlands have the capacity to produce food for more than 24,000 human beings, they are also the habitat of many living beings: earthworms, dragonflies, voles, frogs… If nothing is done, the construction site will leave behind brand new open spaces and a bitter taste of dust.

Meuse, France: Direct action against nuclear power and its world of shit

On the night of March 11, the anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011, we did a series of graffiti tags along the disused Bar-le-Duc / Ligny / Gondrecourt railroad, which is part of the CIGÉO nuclear burial project. In the ironically named village “Les Castors”, near Ligny-en-Barrois, we sabotaged the track with car jacks to counter the work planned for its reallocation. Our action is a small contribution to the national day of action against the revival of nuclear power and for the immediate end of nuclear power, a day to which our friends from Golfech have called for this March 13.
Nuclear power will not save the climate!
At the end of 2021, 10 years after Fukushima, the Castex/Macron government presented the energy transition program “France 2030”. Beyond the pro-industrial announcement in greenwashing mode about electric mobility or the creation of industrial wind farms, “France 2030” is above all one thing: the announcement of the massive reinforcement of the French nuclear power program. It involves the construction of at least six new EPRs (European Pressurized Reactor), investment in so-called mini reactors – which are currently being developed by the car and arms manufacturer Rolls Royce, among others – and the launch of the construction of CIGÉO by 2030.

Berlin, Germany: sabotage of rail traffic, against Tesla, the war and the Tren Maya

On Monday March 21 at 6am, an incendiary sabotage of cables of the German public railway company Deutsche Bahn occurred near the Berlin-Wuhlheide station. It caused numerous train cancellations and delays on the regional line RE1 to Frankfurt/Oder, on the line to the capital’s airport, and also on long-distance rail traffic (Eurocity from Poland). All traffic was only restored on Tuesday around 4 pm.
This sabotage was claimed against the planned inauguration the next day of the Tesla factory (the largest electric car factory in Europe) in the presence of Elon Musk, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his Minister of Economy and Climate (from the Green Party), but also against the war in Ukraine with the delivery of Russian oil and coal to Germany via tanker cars, and in solidarity with the opponents of the construction of the Tren Maya in Mexico (a 1,500 km long railroad line that will cross the Yucatán Peninsula), with which this same Deutsche Bahn is associated.

On the car the sentence “technology exists, security first” was written.
We send this gesture of solidarity to those repressed and imprisoned in the 27F* case and to all those who struggle inside and outside the walls.
