——————–
It was a joy to set fire to the car of Astrid Oppermann near her Winterhude apartment in Maria-Louisenstieg today.
Astrid Oppermann spied on the autonomous scene in Hamburg as an undercover investigator under the name Astrid Schütt from 2006-2013. She was a regular active participant in the autonomous general assembly, helped prepare the autonomous congress in Cologne, she went to the protests against the world climate summit in Copenhagen, was involved in the mobilizations against the conference of interior ministers in 2010 and the protest against the so-called “Day of the German Future” in Hamburg in 2012.
Italy – Texts and materials distributed during the initiative of 26/11/21 at Bencivenga plus Alfredo’s and Juan’s contributions
via: infernourbano Translated by act for freedom now!
We receive and publish a series of texts and materials distributed during the initiative in solidarity with Chilean prisoners, which took place at the Occupied Bencivenga on 26 November 2021. Two pamphlets: one about the hunger strike carried out by prisoners in Chile, the other is a collection of texts, many translated by the magazine Kalinov Most, which aimed to better focus the topics of the debate: the specific reality of Chilean prisons, solidarity, the struggle against prison. There are also two contributions by Juan and Alfredo for the initiative, which they asked to be circulated.
UNTIL THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PRISON-SOCIETY
(A leaflet introducing the debate handed out during the initiative)
This initiative was born out of the need to send, in our own small way, a gesture of solidarity to the prisoner comrades in Chile, who in the first months of this year undertook two tough hunger strikes. We want to support them, also through the translations in the pamphlets prepared for this meeting, by spreading the determination with which they have carried out the struggle inside the prison, with the aim of feeling it closer to us who are outside those walls and far from those territories. Although at the end of their mobilisation the prisoners did not get everything they demanded, it did allow them to build and forge bonds of complicity, both inside and outside the prison. These bonds have made this struggle cross barriers and borders and, since it has clearly positioned itself against all forms of coercion and domination, thus making itself recognisable and reclaimable by rebels all over the world.
Spoleto, Italy : We won’t enlist
WE WON’T ENLIST
The war has finally arrived. After two years of preparations for war, chants, flags, discipline, the «we are at war» announced since spring 2020 is finally real. The tragic news coming from Ukraine is the trigger they were seeking for the definitive militarization of our society.
Wars are always a bloodbath for the exploited and profitable business for the bosses. We are not interested in the contrasting reasons of the propaganda made by the belligerents. The exploited in Russia as well as in Ukraine, Italy and the United States are our brothers, their blood is our blood. Governments, generals, businessmen, financiers are our enemies, our executioners, those who starve us.
The arrogant insatiable thirty-year old NATO expansion and Russia’s internal crisis were the mixture for the explosive situation which we find ourselves thrown into. On the one side, a long series of imperialistic precedents such as the bombardments in Serbia, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the support of criminal gangs such as those ruling Ukraine, where trade unionists are burnt alive; on the other, regimes such as Putin’s and Lukašenko’s, which hold together with the glue of encirclement paranoia and imperial nostalgia, where anarchists and opponents are arrested and tortured. In the face of all this filth no front is ours. Our enemies are not the exploited on the front, but all rulers, starting from those in our country.
Santiago, Chile: San Miguel prison. Milena Cartes: a new State murder, a new death in prison
publicacionrefractario
After the extermination of 81 prisoners in the San Miguel prison in 2010, the State decides to set the facility up exclusively for women prisoners. The painted ramparts and the woman guards never change the meaning of the prison: the extermination of the prisoners.
Tower 5 was the place where years ago smoke and fire burned in the crematorium ovens of democracy. On January 29, 2022 in that same place, Milena Cartes (50 years old), a prisoner for several months awaiting trial, suffered severe abdominal pains. After days of asking for medical attention and the apathy of the jailers, her situation began to worsen drastically. Her fellow prisoners protested for her to be taken to the doctor, but the guards took her to the prison hospital. Due to the seriousness of her situation, she was transferred urgently to the Barros Luco Hospital.
RUSSIA: Minecraft ‘terrorism’ Russian court sentences 16-year-old to five years in prison over plot to blow up virtual FSB building in video game
On Thursday, February 10, a Russian court handed down sentences for terrorism to three teenagers from the Siberian town of Kansk. The boys were arrested in the summer of 2020 for posting leaflets with political slogans on the local FSB building. After searching their phones and uncovering a “plot” to blow up a virtual rendering of an FSB building in the video game Minecraft, investigators charged the teens with making explosives and training to participate in terrorist activities. On Thursday, a military court in the Krasnoyarsk territory sentenced one of the defendants, 16-year-old Nikita Uvarov, to five years in prison. The two other defendants in the case received suspended sentences.
A Russian military court has handed down sentences for terrorism to three 16 year olds from Kansk, a town in Siberia’s Krasnoyarsk territory. The teenagers were tried on charges of making explosives and training to participate in terrorist activities.
February 12, 2022, 300 people demonstrated against the Polish internment camps.(Poland)
Yesterday, Saturday, February 12, 2022, 300 people demonstrated against the Polish internment camps. Also the coach of Solibus e.v. from Berlin came with about 50 activists* to Krosno Ordzańskie, 150km away. Together with German and Polish groups and many individuals, they protested for the freedom of movement of refugees and against the conditions in all arrival centers in the country. There were speeches by various groups and letters from those affected were also read out in several languages.
With drums, banners and chants, the demonstrators gathered in front of the camp in Krosno Ordzańskie, where currently about 100 people are detained in a former barracks. These are people who made headlines at the turn of the year on the Polish-Belarusian border because they became pawns of Lukashenko’s, Poland’s and the EU’s policies. In the meantime, we know that at least 21 people died at this border, some of them froze to death.

Patra city,Greece: Expropriation in a supermarket and distribution at a street farmer’s market
Patra Now – Expropriation in a supermarket and distribution at a farmer’s market.
Today 3/3 in the morning, an expropriation of essential goods from the supermarket AB Vassilopoulos in the area of Ag. Sofias and their distribution in the adjacent market took place. Texts were handed out and fliers were thrown. The following is the announcement:
Everything belongs to us because everything is stolen
Block / self-reduce the increased cost of living that is the result of the bosses’ crisis being passed on to our backs
At the present juncture all of us at the bottom of society are experiencing an unprecedented attack by the economic and political elite. State and capital are seeking in every way to pass on the cost of the deep ongoing capitalist crisis to the poor, the unemployed, the precariously employed, the low-paid, pensioners and immigrants. An attack that has been going on for years with the slashing of wages, pensions and welfare structures, with the dismissals and squeezing of workers, the dismantling of public health, education, transport, the plundering of nature for their “development” and profits. The health crisis of covid-19 magnified this attack and it is now understood that the pandemic is primarily hitting the people of our class. The rich are getting richer, the poor and the dispossessed are groaning under the burden of unemployment, precarious work, boss terror in the workplace and the frightening rise in the cost of living.

Poster for Solidarity with the Prisoners of War
WE ARE NOTHING-WE CAN DO EVERYTHING
“We shook the hand of so many comrades! When sometimes we despair
we feel like a knife piercing our palm
the memory of their hand.
And then when we are doing what we have to do, there is a sensation
Something sure and steady in the palm of our hand
as if we held the whole world in our hands.”
TO MEET…
…exchanging looks of complicity behind burning barricades, on nightly dates,
in joint processes, sharpening our consciences, creating comradeships, evolving our strategies, upgrading our practices, gnawing at the foundations of the edifice of domination.
Making mistakes, learning from our “defeats”, alongside old and new comrades.
…WE HAVE THE REASONS
The persecution and imprisonment of fighters will always be another reason for new hostilities.
one more occasion to search, to experiment, to discover unknown paths, one more occasion to attack, taking up a fighting position in the social war that rages, translating our every refusal and desire into action.
THE PRISONERS OF WAR
ARE THE FLESH OF THE FLESH OF THE REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNITY
AND WE WILL DO EVERYTHING TO BRING THEM BACK.
CONSTANT AND CONTINUOUS STRUGGLE WITH ALL MEANS.
UNTIL THE LAST STRONGHOLD OF POWER IS TORN DOWN.
UNTIL ANARCHY.

WAR TO WAR. FUCK NATO
NATO SUMMIT IN MADRID ON JUNE 29TH AND 30TH
The 29th and 30th of this coming June a new NATO summit will be held in Madrid. This military organization was created after World War II as a weapon to defend the interests of the victor: capitalism.
During these days the streets will be filled with Militaries, owners of weapons manufacturing companies, leaders… with the aim of planning and developing new war scenarios, new weapons and ultimately preparing for all the difficulties and adverse scenarios that the techno-capitalist project may encounter.

The statue of Juan Ponce de León, Spanish colonizer and invader, was toppled in San Juan on the morning of January 24, the same day that King Felipe VI arrived from Spain. The group Fuerzas Libertarias de Borikén claimed responsibility for the action.
“Ahead of the planned visit of the King of Spain, Felipe VI, to Puerto Rico and the escalation of the gringo invaders taking over our lands, we want to send a clear message: Neither Kings, nor gringo invaders; Borikén is ours.

Genoa, Italy – Listening to their voices: a leaflet handed out during an initiative on 20th February
Listening to their voices: a leaflet handed out during an initiative on 20th February 2022
We receive and publish a leaflet handed out during an initiative dedicated to Juan and anarchist prisoners that took place in Genoa on 20th February. The leaflet introduces an exhibition of texts written by our imprisoned comrades Juan Sorroche, Anna Beniamino, Alfredo Cospito, Monica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Ignacio and Luis Avaca and a collective text from anarchists locked up in the prison of Korydallos in Greece.
LISTENING TO THEIR VOICES
This initiative stems from the desire to clear the field of misunderstandings when talking about solidarity and the hypothesis that the latter, if understood inconsistently with intentions, can end up discrediting the paths taken by prisoners.
The idea of solidarity that anarchist prisoners in struggle intend and that emerges from their voices as can be seen from the texts shown here, is very clear: it is not the search for a generic solidarity, human or pietistic, which stems only from a feeling of empathy for the fact of being persecuted by the state, subjected to a despicable yoke of deprivation and daily violence, as indeed are the other people held in Italian prisons.

To block Greece’s participation in the imperialist wars
English translation of our collective’s text regarding the situation in Ukraine and Greece’s involvement. It is our duty to work against Greece’s participation, and to build international struggles against the war, against all capitalist wars. (You can find the text in pdf form as well, in the end of the page).
“Those at the top say:
Peace and war are of different substance.
But their peace and their war
are like the wind and storm.
War grows from their peace, like son from his mother.
He bears her frightful features
Their war kills whatever their peace has left over.”
In the early hours of February 24th Russia decides to invade Ukraine, with coordinated missile attacks and simultaneous raid of the army.
This move marks an escalation of tensions and rivalries in the region, with probably most notable events being the rejection of Ukraine’s 2013 EU accession agreement by then-President Yanukovych -who was pushing for an agenda of closer relations with Russia- and the uprising that followed (also known as the “Euromaidan”), with the active participation of the far right and the support of the Euro-Atlantic bloc, which led to the ouster of the president. The general unrest that prevailed at the time, gave Russia the “opportunity” to invade Crimea and annex it to its territory. It also sparked protests (with the support of Russia) against Euromaidan and the new regime, and riots, culminating in the arson of the Trade Union House in Odessa, in May 2014, by Ukrainian hooligans and neo-Nazis, which led to the horrific death of 42 of people who were burned alive. At the same time, and as separatists declared the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics in eastern Ukraine, the unrest escalated into a war, with more than 15,000 killed, and intensified attacks by Ukraine during the past months.
