Genoa, Italy – Claim for an incendiary attack on a high voltage pylon
In the night of christmas eve, tired of the artificial panorama of a city ready to celebrate on the capitalist sleigh, we decided to contribute to the illuminations by lighting up a Terna high voltage pylon with cans of petrol. Our little nocturnal present succeeded, illuminating the grey sky with dazzling flashes and some dull thuds.
As for today we don’t know how much actual damage was caused, but we do know that Terna might have to add our christmas pylon to its endless list of maintenance, improvements and adjustments which it is set to do over almost 75,000 km of Italian network.
Obviously the hope was, remains and will remain that of definitively turning off the system of energy supply, the beating heart of this sick world of consumerism and opulence, devastation, wars and death.

Claudio Lavazza free now!
Claudio Lavazza is an anarchist of action who has spent the last 25 years in Spanish and French jails. A militant in the armed tumult of the 1970s, after a time in Italian jails following the activities of PAC (Armed Proletarians for Communism), his life went from being a clandestine on the run to an obstinate and never-interrupted enemy of banks and authorities with always ready solidarity with the subversive movements he encountered along his path. Arrested in Spain in 1996 following a gunfight after an unsuccessful bank robbery, he engaged in the fight against the Spanish special prison, the FIES regime inflicted on him for 8 years. After 24 years’ imprisonment he was extradited to France where a sentence of 10 years for a big heist that took place in a Bank of France branch in 1986 was awaiting him. In spite of the fact that European law establishes that the accumulation of the sentence served in Spain should absorb this other sentence, and that Claudio should have been released on11th December, the prosecutor of Mont de Marsan, who is in charge of his case, continues with excuses and pretexts to play for time regarding Claudio’s release.
Yet another case of revenge of the State to punish a coherent revolutionary who has never repudiated his past and continues to claim the necessity and importance of the struggle against State and Capital.
We are calling a for mobilization from 7th January,2022 when the French judicial offices reopen, so that the authorities responsible unblock Claudio’s release. An anarchist international solidarity poster will be also available shortly, printed in many languages (an email address to order copies will be spread).

SOLIDARITY POSTER : FREEDOM FOR CLAUDIO LAVAZZA!

POSTER PDF
From January 7, 2022, a period of solidarity with anarchist comrade Claudio Lavazza will begin. Claudio was first imprisoned by the Spanish then by the French State, and has already served over 25 years in detention. Although the doors of prison should have already opened last December 11, the prosecutor of Mont de Marsan – the emissary of State vengeance that is following his case – continues to keep him behind bars.
To raise awareness about the solidarity needed for our comrade, a poster with an international scope has been printed (at the moment in Italian, Spanish, English and French). Those who share it and wish to spread it, can request copies and more information at this email address:

It is very important to not leave Claudio alone in this moment and to not make him look isolated to his captors. We here publish his new address, as we think it is essential that he receives letters:

Paris : Solidarité avec Francisco !

La prison plane en permanence comme un nuage sombre au dessus des vies de celles et ceux qui ne veulent pas se résigner à ce monde d’autorité et d’exploitation. Elle broie les vies de tant de personnes que l’État considère comme inutiles ou dangereuses.
Nous portons dans nos cœurs les noms, les mots et les actes de nos compagnon-nes emprisonné-es partout dans le monde.
Parmi elleux il y a Franscisco Solar, un anarchiste chilien qui a récemment assumé avec force et dignité la responsabilité des engins explosifs qui ont brisé l’illusion de la sécurité tellement chère aux flics, aux politicards et aux riches. Pour que la peur change enfin de camp.
Malgré la distance et les murs, on voulait lui envoyer un message de solidarité.
Du coup dans la nuit du 24 au 25 décembre on a mis le feu à une voiture des constructeurs de prisons Eiffage, et à un’autre qui avait une plaque diplomatique, rue Courat à Paris.
Courage compagnon ! Les anarchistes ne t’oublient pas !
Une pensée aussi pour Toby, compagnon emprisonné en Angleterre.
Feu aux prisons, aux entreprises qui les construisent et au monde qui en a besoin.
La solidarité c’est l’attaque.

Bristol UK: Toby Shone speaks from the dungeons of Bristol prison, explaining his case. en/gr/ it/ es/ fr/ German/ polish/ Russian
Important notes: The anarchist comrades from the anarquia.info they did a correct translation for the Spanich text and the anarchist comrades from the attaque they did a correct translation for the French text.
My name is Toby Shone, and I’m an imprisoned anarchist held in Bristol prison who was kidnapped at gunpoint by the anti-terrorist unit, as part of Operation Adream in the UK. The repression was aimed to target the anarchist group of critique and practice, 325 collective and the website 325.nostate.net. Operation Adream is an attack by the British State in conjunction with European partners against anarchist direct action groups, counter-information projects, prisoner solidarity initiatives and the new anarchist critique of the technological singularity and the fourth and fifth industrial revolution. Operation Adream is the first time that anti-terrorist legislation has been used against the anarchist movement in the UK.
I was taken hostage by the regime on the 18th of November 2020 by a team of tactical fire arms cops after a car chase through the remote Forest of Dean, which is on the border with South Wales, one hour north of Bristol. At the same time coordinated raids took place at five addresses in the Forest of Dean against collective living projects, hangouts and a storage unit. I was taken under armed guard to a nearby police station where I was held in incommunicado and interrogated many, many times. I refused to speak during the interrogations and I did not cooperate with the murderers in uniform.

Update from the gathering at Korydallos prison on New Year’s Eve (Athens,Greece)
On the eve of New Year’s Eve, following the call of the assembly of solidarity with imprisoned, fugitive and persecuted militants, about 200 comrades gathered outside Korydallos prison to bring in the New Year, joining our voices with those of the prisoners.
We stayed outside the prison for about an hour with fliers, slogans, smoke bombs and fireworks, briefly blocking Grigoriou Lambraki street, where we stayed for a long time exchanging words and slogans with the prisoners of the women’s prison of Korydallos.
FIRE TO THE PRISONS
SOLIDARITY IS OUR WEAPON!

Athens,Greece: Information on the transfer of comrade Charis Mantzouridis to the Psychiatric Hospital for Prisoners in Korydallos Prison
On 24/12, comrade Charis Mantzouridis was discharged from the psychiatric hospital in Dafni and transferred to the Prisoners’ Psychiatric Hospital in Korydallos prison. He was immediately placed in “quarantine”, where he will remain from 4 to 7 days (it is not certain exactly how many).
The conditions there are deplorable, which reflects the general conditions of detention in the prison in the midst of a pandemic. He is kept in a very small room with three other prisoners, and new ones are added every day, which increases the actual chances of catching covid. The window is broken, so it is very cold, the mattresses are ripped, broken glass, blood and excrement on the floor, food is thrown away by all the prisoners, the possibility of communication with his own people is minimal.
Rebel prisoner Andreas Krebs is dying..(Italy)
24/12/21
Time is running out!
We take it for granted that Andreas Krebs is a terminally ill prisoner in Italy (Naples).
In recent weeks, Andreas was officially told by a German-speaking doctor that he was in the last phase of his cancer.
Shortly afterwards, the prison management (Centro Penitenziario di Secondigliano) advised Andreas to apply for transfer to Germany (Berlin). According to his wife Jutta Krebs, he did so on 10.12.21.
Apparently, the Secondigliano prison does not want to have the body within its own walls. That would be news again about the prisoner who had not received medical treatment for years. But it is nevertheless also in the prisoner’s interest to be near his wife and his supporters in his last hours, weeks or months.

Lille,France – Action against ANAA Architects: destroy the C.R.A.!
On the night of 21 December, we went to the premises of ANAA Architects, located at 14 rue du quai in Lille. Their front door was sealed with expanding foam and a small message was left on their window: “The State is murdering in the CRAs / ANAA is an accomplice”.
The company ANAA Architectes is responsible for drawing up the plans for the extension of the Lesquin Administrative Detention Centre. This company had already drawn up the plans when the centre was created (in 2006).

New Year’s Eve to the Jail (Germany)
For a long time, it has been an anarchist tradition to go to the jail on this day and start the new year with all prisoners and demand their freedom.
Now it may seem strange to some people when we talk about the freedom of all prisoners, because there may also be people there whose actions we deeply despise. This is also true, and yet we are convinced that a critical and solidarity-based approach to prisoners is needed.
The majority of those who spend days, months, years or even their entire lives in prisons are there for social reasons. In other words, their deeds are the result of social misery. They are thieves or burglars who have not physically harmed anyone, but merely wanted to survive in a world that has cast them out. They are people who have been caught driving illegally too often because tickets are becoming more and more expensive. Likewise, refugees are locked away, some of whom have travelled incredible distances to flee political persecution or simply to live a better life. From the beginning of our lives, we are confronted with laws and rules that we never decided or wanted. If we do not comply with them, there is punishment. The highest form of punishment in this State is prison, because this seems to people to be the most humane form of punishment. People look arrogantly at other countries that still carry out corporal and or death sentences. But let’s be honest, isn’t a (life) sentence also just a death sentence in instalments? Prisons are not hotels, life there is neither fair nor free of exploitation and oppression. It is also expensive.
Sardinia,Italy – On Operation “Sibilla” by Sardinian Anarchists
On Operation “Sibilla”, from Sardinia
[Note: all the repressive measures inflicted on comrades struck by operation Scintilla were annulled by the court of review on 16th December 2021]
SEMPRI AINNATIS!
SOLIDARITY WITH THE RECALCITRANT!
“…The use being made of the charge of incitement, whether employed “purely” or as “garnishing” to other charges, is significant because it is aimed at breaking the link between revolutionary action and the propaganda of ideas that it inspires and supports, so as to push us to a watered-down adjustment in our convictions and our modes of expression…”
(Vetriolo, issue 6)
With these few lines we want to express all our solidarity and closeness to the anarchist comrades arrested and investigated following the umpteenth investigation from Perugia prosecutors which takes the name of “Operation Sibilla” this time.

Athens,Greece: New Year’s Eve Gathering demonstration outside of Koridallos prison
Gathering 31.12.2021, 23:30 Korydallos Town Hall
In times of pandemic, thousands of dead and so many others seeking access to basic goods, in times when the world is increasingly resembling a modern supervised prison, we do not forget the “invisible” of this world.
We express our solidarity with the incarcerated population and join our voices with our imprisoned comrades who are being held because of their choice to fight in the struggle.
