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.

GREECE: IN MEMORY OF ALEXANDROS GRIGOROPOULOS
On December 6, the anniversary of the murder of 15-year-old anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos, killed by a cop with two bullets in the back in 2008, there were numerous initiatives of struggle.
In the morning, a group of students opened the day; as night fell, a demonstration of thousands of people marched through the center of Athens.
The demonstration left at 18:00 from Propylaiea chanting slogans and heading towards the parliament and from there most of the demonstrators, the most prominent ones, went to Exarcheia, where at 21:00 there was a gathering at the memorial where Alexis was assassinated.

Thessaloniki, Greece: The time has come for my roar to be heard – Denunciation of sectarianism by the Biologica haunt
“Man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head! […] You have a fixed idea!” – Max Stirner
It’s been some time that I wanted my anger to be heard. An anger that awaited for its moment, so that it can be ready to be released from within me. If this denunciation won’t bother everyone, it will bother most, if not then it will bother a few. And for many reasons that I won’t analyse!
I have been active in the anarchist / anti-authoritarian milieu in Thessaloniki since September ‘21 and I was not pleased by many things and generally they do not express me. Because, as Renzo Novatore wrote, “I am an individualist because I am an anarchist and I am an anarchist because I am a nihilist.”
Nevertheless, I did not fall into the trap of dogmatism, I did not stop my activity just because most collectives and squats do not represent post-left anarchy, pure negation, direct action and informalism. Whenever and wherever I could, I showed my solidarity in practice, from participating in postering, to taking part in protests, and only out of personal desire because I was tired from complete isolation in Athens.
[Chilean Prisons] Taking responsibility. Excerpt from the declaration of anarchist comrade Francisco Solar
Original Published December 22, 2021 Translated by Act for freedom now!
Received 12/21/2021:
Extract from the judicial declaration of anarchist comrade Francisco Solar taking responsibility for sending explosive packages to the 54th station of the carabineros [Federal Police of Chile] and against the former Minister of the Interior, Rodrigo Hinzpeter in July 2019, action claimed by “Cómplices sediciosos/Fracción por la Venganza” [Seditious Accomplices/Vengeance Faction] and for the double attack on the Tánica building on February 27, 2020, in the midst of the revolt, action claimed by “Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta” [Armed Affinities in Revolt].
(…) In November 2017, our idea was to move away from the big cities, mainly Santiago, because of its frenetic way of life, and to start a self-sustaining project. Although I opted for that way of life, I did not stop thinking that the most appropriate way to fight against an overpowering system based on authority and predation is through violent revolutionary action. Only from this is it possible to achieve moments of destabilization that, even if they are fleeting instants, reveal the vulnerability of power
In the middle of 2018 I decided to start pursuing that kind of action (…) Once I made that decision I started to think about some target, being clear that if I was going to take a great risk, the action had to be powerful. I thought of carrying out an action as a response, as revenge against people linked to repression and business power. Both criteria were fully met by Rodrigo Hinzpeter, who in 2019 was manager of the Quiñenco group, whose president is Andronico Luksc. Hinzpeter had also been Minister of the Interior under the first government of Piñera, leaving a trail of repression that will be difficult to forget. He harshly repressed social and student mobilizations, trying to pass a law marked by prohibitions of all kinds, known as the Hinzpeter Law. As Minister of the Interior he was politically responsible for the murder of young Manuel Gutiérrez, harshly repressed the social mobilizations in Aysén and Freirina, militarized the Mapuche territory, resulting in hundreds being wounded, many of them children, and countless prisoners.
Maule, Chile: Arson attack against the companies Áridos Bullileo and Asfaltos Maule
We denounce its complicity in the plundering of the environment, in all areas and in all corners of this territory called Chile.
The result of this action was the total destruction of :
3 truck mixers
2 hopper trucks
1 truck tractor
1 tractor
1 mobile sorting installation [the one in the picture above; NdAtt.]
1 backhoe
To make a long story short, an amount of 800 million pesos [about 835,000 euros at today’s exchange rate; NdAtt.] of damage.
Before October 18, 2019, [date of the beginning of the great social revolt in Chile; NdAtt.] the workers of the companies mentioned mobilized to demand better wages and treatment from the owners. After a month of struggle, the Vega-Ruiz family resolved the conflict by buying off the head of the union, a traitor, which led to the demobilization of the workers, and then proceeded to unjustified mass dismissals. The anti-union practices of these people are constant and are part of the corruption maintained by the labor inspectorate and the large companies in the region.
