Athens, Greece : for the anarchist comrade Harris Mantzouridis

Athens: for the anarchist comrade Harris  Mantzouridis

On 13/10/21 the state mechanism through the ELAS ( general greek police} and more specifically the ΥΔΕΖΙ (crimes against property) service proceeded with the kidnapping of comrade Harry Mantzouridis outside his house, where he lives with his partner and their child. The tactic is well known and much used over the years, they surrounded him, ostensibly to take him to the GADA (Attica General Police Directorate)  under the pretext of arraignment because after an “anonymous phone call” (sic) a week earlier, he was suspected of robbery and was summarily found handcuffed, beaten before the eyes of the surprised neighbourhood and surrounded by the security guards.
We know the character of the police officers and if there is a reason to analyze and enumerate their atrocities, it is simply so that one does not forget who we are up against and what they are capable of doing. For the organs of the state it is just a Wednesday where they use disproportionate violence to stomp on a man in front of his young child, it is just a Wednesday when they handcuffed a man who is not charged with anything and according to them is indicted, it is just a Wednesday when they defame a man and spread the word that he molested a young girl, it was just a Wednesday.

France: Hard times for the cops (mid-November 2021)

Argenteuil (Val-d’Oise): The police station targeted after cops injured a teenager
RTL / Monday, November 8, 2021
Mortar fire targeted the police station and police officers in Argenteuil (Val d’Oise) on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 November. These attacks, perpetrated by about fifty young people, would be a sign of protest against the LBD [launcher of defence balls] shooting that injured a teenager earlier in the evening of Saturday.On the images circulating on social networks, we see the young man with a broken nose and a swollen face. On Sunday evening, dozens of individuals attacked the Argenteuil police station.
A reinforced security device was then put in place in the district of the Dalle. Calm returned during the night. No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.
 Already the week before, in another neighbourhood…
Le Parisien / Wednesday 2 November 2021
They targeted a place that is symbolic of authority. Between 20 and 30 young people dressed in black tried to set fire to the police station of the district of Argenteuil while it was unoccupied, Monday evening. Aged about 13 or 14, they placed a trash can in front of the building and set it on fire. They also threw projectiles at the building and damaged windows on the second floor. The latter are not police premises but those of the social branch of the departmental council, which includes a maternal and child protection centre.

District of Saint-Etienne, France : Attack

During the night of November 2 to 3, 2021, we carried out a coordinated attack on three cell towers around Saint-Etienne by setting them on fire.
(And not one, as the media tried to claim!)
This cut off telephone communications and momentarily interrupted the dependency that the techno-world requires in order to persist.
(We could take the Thales arms factory in the neighbouring town as an example, or the 80,000 people deprived of telephones for the week, but there are many others…)

EN/ IT/ ES/ FR , Italy: Does the Sibilla predict the storm?

Sibilla predict a storm?

At dawn on 11 November, a number of searches were carried out in various Italian cities and six comrades were served with orders for precautionary measures: in prison for Alfredo, under house arrest for Michele, and an obligation to remain and sign three times a week for four other comrades.
The comrades are suspected of the crime of art. 270 bis (subversive association for the purpose of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order) for the conception, editing, printing and dissemination, including via computer and telematic tools, of the anarchist paper “Vetriolo“, for wall writings with content considered outrageous and instigatory and for an episode of damage. They were also charged with Article 414 (incitement to commit crimes), for drawing up and disseminating communiqués containing incitement to commit crimes against the State in person, for the purposes of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order.
In addition to this, two counter-information websites, roundrobin.info and malacoda.noblogs.org, were obliterated because they were considered an aggravating factor in the specific crime of incitement (through a digital instrument).
The investigation starts in the year 2017 in Milan, from the beginning of the newspaper’s editorial experience, then was passed to the Perugia prosecutor’s office until today, and reviews the content of the anarchist propaganda articles that are declared dangerous for their communicative effectiveness and the spreading of the radical idea.

Bologna, Italy – Sunday 28th November, gathering outside La Dozza prison 

After the revolts of March 2020 in prisons all over Italy, hundreds of prisoners were put on trial for having protested in defence of their health in full Covid emergency. 50 prisoners are on trial in Bologna and 70 in Modena. Right in the Sant’Anna prison 9 people were killed by screws with beatings and gunshots, but this was covered up and investigations against the prison police were soon filed away, while Modena prosecutors extended investigations on the prisoners.
We are going back outside the prison to express all our solidarity with those who experience prison violence on their skin every day. Alongside anarchist prisoner Beppe, and Mattia, the prisoner who a year ago told the truth about the massacre in the jail of Modena.
AGAINST ALL JAILS AND THE WORLD THAT PRODUCES THEM!
Sunday 28th November from 4pm

Genoa, Italy – On ”Operazione Sibilla”

In order to break exploitation and oppression it is necessary that offended and crushed dignity turns into action because we firmly believe that “freedom” is not at all the right and duty to obey authority, it is not a life lived on one’s knees. Freedom – here and now – is in the conflict against all forms of power, in the wild desire for practical concrete destruction of authority.
Vetriolo, issue 5
At dawn on Thursday 11th November operation “Sibilla” [Sybil] kicked off, coordinated by Perugia and Milan prosecutors (Manuela Comodi and Alberto Nobili respectively), following which comrades were raided in several Italian cities. It was the ROS carabinieri (led by General Pasquale Angelosanto) who enforced measures ordered by investigating judge Valerio D’Andria, resulting in 6 anarchist comrades being subjected to custodial measures and investigated for instigation to commit crime aggravated by purposes of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order.

SIBILATIONS – On the anti-anarchist operation denominated Sibilla
All this must end. For ever. And if the State and the bosses are our living enemies, then the role of anarchism as the spade with which we’ll dig their graves is more evident than ever.

11th November 2021 dozens of searches were carried out in the homes of anarchist comrades in Genoa, Carrara, Pisa, Cremona, Bergamo, Roma, Perugia, Viterbo, Lecce, Taranto, Cosenza and Cagliari before dawn. The investigation carried out by the ROS carabinieri on order of Perugia prosecutors focuses on anarchist sobillazioni [instigations], particularly the paper Vetriolo and “alongside” counter-information websites such as roundrobin.info and malacoda.noblogs. The main charge against the comrades is that of having formed and/or participated in a subversive association with purposes of terrorism (270bis), as according to the cops, through the publications mentioned above the comrades allegedly instigated to commit terrorist acts against the State.
Besides dozens of raids all over the peninsula, there were 6 custodial measures: the “arrest” of Alfredo, already imprisoned in the jail of Terni, a comrade subjected to house arrest with electronic tag and another 4 with compulsory residence and signing.

Lecce, Italy – Chatter and identities

11/11/2021, Biblioteca Anarchica Disordine
The democratic system is the best you can aspire to live in: in it all freedoms are guaranteed. Let’s take freedom of the press and freedom of expression as examples; under democracy it is possible to say and publish everything, provided it is what the democratic system allows one to say and publish.
One of the most important guarantors of these freedoms is to be found in public prosecutor Manuela Comodi of the Perugia prosecutor’s office, who in a brilliant police operation unleashed her watchdogs – the ROS carabinieri – to raid the homes of numerous anarchists in Italy, looking for anarchist publications no less! And think, she even managed to find them… To tell the truth it wasn’t that difficult; like looking for philosophy books in a philosopher’s home or paintbrushes in a decorator’s workshop…

Turin, Italy – Report on the 6/11/2021, a demo against evictions, borders and CPRs

On Saturday 6th November we took to the streets in Turin with a demo against evictions, borders and CPRs.
Following the umpteenth eviction of a self-managed shelter in upper valley, we decided to start off from the centre of the city to give visibility to “the border”, a murderous mechanism that the State wants to conceal in silence. The names of the responsible for evictions and of those complicit in deportations and CPRs were repeated with strength.

Switzerland – Against the Covid pass and the world that produces it.

Health or security?
In recent weeks, with the introduction of compulsory Covid pass to access restaurants, bars, stadiums, gyms, universities, theatres, cinemas, museums, libraries and other places of gathering and public demonstrations, the Swiss government has de facto imposed compulsory tracing of the movements of the majority of people who live in the territory. After a first attempt in the summer of 2020 at introducing the SwissCovid app which had little success, in recent weeks the Federal Council has put in place a subtle rhetoric of persuasion-coercion to convince as many citizens as possible to get vaccinated, under the blackmail of being denied access to a whole range of places and services, in some cases even including work and education.
As someone wrote elsewhere: “we fear that the instruments established today in the name of public health can be easily reset in function tomorrow for security purposes, that the declaration of one’s identity and the recording of one’s movements will be standardized and that the mesh of social control will dangerously tighten up”. As soon as they are established as “exceptional measures”, instruments such as health passes become irreversible, thus strengthening police power and adding to the strings of devices which in recent years have been increasingly limiting the individuals’ freedom with the excuse of “counter-terrorism” and the “war on the virus”.

Zaventem, Belgium: the offices of the technology company Devoteam in ashes

In an office building in the Belgicastraat in Zaventem [Flemish Brabant], the third floor was heavily damaged by a fire on Tuesday evening. A guard noticed the fire and alerted the emergency services. There were no casualties. According to the public prosecutor’s office, the fire was started at the technology company Devoteam.
On Wednesday morning the public prosecutor’s office in Halle-Vilvoorde sent a fire expert to the Keiberg industrial estate to find out the exact circumstances. After a visit to the site, the appointed fire expert came to the conclusion that there was evidence of malicious intent, i.e. that the fire had been deliberately set.  As a result of the fire, the third floor of the office building was sealed off.

Brussels, Belgium: End of the Acrata project

Acrata, 3 November 2021
Hello everyone,
The anarchist library Acrata opened its doors in 2008. At the time, a text presented it not only as a “space for meetings and discussions”, but also as an “instrument to sharpen our knowledge and to find solid bases to confront domination”.
Throughout the years, people from here and elsewhere met there, publications from different parts of the world were disseminated and discussed, struggles (local or international) were defended and debated. Acrata was also a space for those who recognized themselves in it. As is often the case with struggles and interpersonal relationships, the dynamics within Acrata have changed over the years, sometimes marking fault lines.

Puento Alto, Chile: Incendiary barricades against the militarisation of Wallmapu   

Resistance in Wallmapu has been underway for more than 500 years. Nowadays, the advance of the Chilean colonial State has been further accentuated by its military presence in the territory, with the mobilisation of all its repressive apparatus, after the announcement of the constitutional state of exception decreed on October 12 and extended until November 11.
The conflict, whose historical course has known different moments of calm, is intensifying and flaring up once again today, and is causing the battle flags to rise against the idea of the unceasing progress of extractivist capitalism, based on the usurpation of territory, which steals and devastates lands, forests, rivers, lakes, forest animals and bodies for its own profit, to the detriment of the immense multiplicity of life forms.
