NOT A STEP BACK
25/10/2021
The masks of hypocrisy are slowly falling apart and the real reasons for the rejection of my request for leave are being revealed.
According to the prison council, which rejected my request for leave for the third time, the reason was the very text I had published last June when my request was rejected for the second time.
Here is the whole rationale for the prison council’s decision: “As it is clear from recent public statements and views expressed via the internet in the public media through which he urges an indefinite number of persons to commit criminal offenses and which are taken into account as elements of his conduct and personality in general,
and of his general personality, it does not appear with certainty that there is no risk of committing new criminal acts (during his leave) occasioned by these statements.

Anderlues, Belgium: the local councillor has a name… and address

Alderman Pastorelli’s cars set on fire in Anderlues
Sud Info/DH, 5 November 2021 (extract)
It was around 5am on Friday morning when a fire broke out in the Rue du Château in Anderlues. Two vehicles, parked in front of the house of the alderman for Folklore Guglielmo Pastorelli (PS), were on fire.  The shocked socialist politician spoke of political revenge.
The Binche and Thuin fire brigades were called in and were able to bring the fire under control. It seems that the fire is of criminal origin. The Binche police have opened an investigation. The police and the lab arrived at the scene.

Video report-back: TagX demo after Köpi Wagenplatz eviction (Germany)

Here are a few videos of the #b1510 köpi tagX demo from public sources, edited more or less chronologically without regard to copyright. Unfortunately, there are hardly any shots from the front of the demo or overview shots because pixelating would have been too much effort and because there are also few.
there are probably no public videos of the attack on the akelius headquarters at erkelenzdamm 11-13 and so on, and the 4 minutes only show a small section of the large and widespread demo.

Leipzig, Germany: Actions after demo bans

Leipzig, 23/24 October 2021
The police enforced the ban on demonstrations in Leipzig with a large contingent on Saturday. However, as darkness fell, arson broke out. Among other things, several vehicles were set on fire in front of a car dealership.
After the ban on three left-wing demonstrations in Leipzig, there were individual incidents on Sunday night, especially in the south of the city. According to the police, five vehicles belonging to a car dealership were set on fire in Richard-Lehmann-Straße at around 0:22 am. Police arrested two men and two women aged between 18 and 24 at the scene. No one was injured, but there was property damage in the lower six-figure range. In the west of Leipzig, two cars also burned in Neue Gutenbergstraße. It was a similar story in Große Fleischergasse, where one car was on fire and four other cars were damaged by the heat.
Police pelted with stones
There was further action in the Bornaische Straße area. According to MDR reporters, there was an attempt at a spontaneous demonstration there at 11 pm, but it failed. Around 0:40 a.m., a trash bin as well as branches and wooden slats burned in the street. Several people blocked the tram with them. When the police tried to extinguish and remove the barricade, the officers were pelted with stones, according to reporters. A short time later, a squad of hundreds arrived with water cannons and evacuation tanks. According to the reports, the stone-throwers fled. An allegedly uninvolved drunk man who was warming his hands by the fire was arrested.

EN/ES/ The Greek Police and State are Murderers. Nikos Sampani, a Roma Youth, Shot Dead by Greek Police

22.10.2021 The police and the State assassinated Nikos Sampani, a Roma youth, and seriously injured another in a brutal racist shooting in Perama (Greece) with the complicity of the media which covered up the events.
Greece, Attica, Perama. Last night, October 22, 2021, yet another incident of extreme police violence and arbitrariness took place. A D.IAS team killed an 18 year old Roma youth and seriously injured another. The police chased a vehicle that failed to stop when signaled. The chase, which started from the Renti area, continued to Perama where the police did not hesitate to start shooting at the people in the car, who were unarmed, firing 38 bullets with 7 service weapons in a residential area. Inside the car, the 18-year-old was killed, the 16-year-old was wounded and evacuated, and the 15-year-old escaped.

Surveillance and Other Nuisances

From Counter-Surveillance Resource Center
An evaluation of the observation and surveillance of the three anarchists convicted in the so-called “Parkbank trial”.
In this text, we will try to summarize the observation and investigation measures around the “Parkbank trial”, and to clarify some points that might be important for people with a heightened interest in privacy.
It should be emphasized at the outset that everything is based on the cops’ files and our conclusions. The security apparatus is naturally reluctant to show its cards and, even in criminal proceedings, only discloses the parts of its reports that it believes are absolutely necessary. As expected, the release of the entire surveillance protocols, which was requested by the lawyers, was refused. Thus, our reports are also incomplete. Draw your own conclusions, but do not consider anything as established truth – we are telling a story here, which the cops have compiled in a file!

Lund, Sweden: Solidarity with imprisoned anarchists: arson attack on Shell trailers

We set on fire three large trailers of the British-Dutch corporation Shell at the gas station of the company in Lund (Sweden) in the night of August 27. The reason to take Shell as an aim for attack was Shell`s participation in the construction of the natural gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 as an investor. This action was carried out within the International Week of Solidarity With Anarchist Prisoners (August 23–30).
Nord Stream 2 belongs to the Russian State Corporation Gazprom and it is a strategic project of Putin’s regime. This gas pipeline will become a serious weapon in the hands of the dictatorship. Nevertheless, Shell and several more Western companies help the Russian state economically.

RBC Fucks Around, RBC Finds Out

Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info
RBC finances the Coastal GasLink pipeline. On the night of Tuesday October 26, anarchists in Montreal coordinated some actions in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en land defenders. We smashed the windows at 5 RBC branches across the city, and used a fire-extinguisher filled with paint to vandalize the facade of another.
In the lead up to the Olympics on stolen Native land in 2010, rebels across so-called Canada attacked the sponsor RBC. Over a decade later, it is time to recreate this inspiring wave.

Report-back for Wednesday, October 27, 2021 – Gidimt’en Yintah (Canada)

Report-back for Wednesday, October 27, 2021 – Gidimt’en Yintah
Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info
On wednesday morning an action was put into effect in response to the posturing of RCMP in Likhts’amisyu territory which is approx 40 km away from the Gidimt’en drill site occupation. The action was in solidarity with Chief Dtsa’hyl who, while acting as an enforcement officer for Likhts’amisyu clan disabled 10 heavy machines which were being used to destroy their unceded territory and build a new road, which CGL says they own. It was assumed by police presence and a variety of other factors that enforcement would occur, and it did. The main objective was to show force, solidarity, and defiance to the incursion of the Canadian state and industry on Wet’suwet’en Yintah.
The action consisted of several components and was completed without arrests or injury. Tactics were deployed successfully and though police presence and security/worker aggression had potential for escalation and direct conflict, none occured.

Anarchist Sergey Romanov sentenced to 1 year in jail (BELARUS)

01/11/2021
A few weeks before the trial on the case of anarcho-partisans, Gomel judge Hlyshchankov Alexei Anatolievich (https://t.me/BlackBookGomel/266) sentenced Sergei Romanov to a year in prison for violation of state supervision.
This story began after Romanov’s release in 2019: local operatives from the GUBOP actively built up administrative cases against the activist and tried to shut him down even before the 2020 elections. Due to appeals against administrative cases, they failed to do so, and in October 2020 Romanov was detained in the case of anarcho-partisans with Dmitry Rezanovich, Dmitry Dubovsky, and Igor Olinevich. According to Romanov himself, his case was handled by Yermoshkin Denis Aleksandrovich (https://t.me/karatelibelarusi/6905), a GUBOP operative.

Solidarity with Lina, one year after the cops kidnapped her (Germany)

On November 5, 2020, Lina was kidnapped by the police and taken into custody on charges of „having formed and being part of a criminal organization“ („Bildung und Mitgliedschaft einer kriminellen Vereinigung“). Her criminalization falls under the legal appeal of §129 of criminal code. A legal section which is part of the anti-insurgent structures of the German state, and which is made known to the public as „Anti-Terrorist“ laws.
The current cases under §129 all have certain points in common: what is criminalized are not only actions, but political ties, shared ideas and solidarity. Thus, people who do not define themselves as a group are criminalized because of their shared political ideals, which are often the only excuse with which the state forcibly constructs such dangerous organizations. Organizations that enables its repressive attacks intimately consistent, seeking to destroy the possibility of a personal life -individual and collective- of those who are understood as a potential danger to the Status Quo.
Raids, wiretapping, preventive detention… What is the interest of the state in entering the personal life of an anti-facist? Where does this information go? Without going into legalistic explanations nor into the particular mechanisms of this trial, it is interesting to see that a case of „Criminal Organization“ is built with the accusation of having beaten with Nazis, and that this accusation has the character of „affecting the existence and security of the state“. The existence of which state is being affected? The security of which ideals is endangered by antifacism? In the court room there is not space for individual cases, the hearings are not about the accused persons and their alleged acts. They and their lawyers are fillers forced to take part on this play, in which the federal prosecution and the judges reproduce the sovereignty of the nation-state, and try to bury the idea that other worlds are possible under the banality and cruelty of the criminal process.
