London (UK): 288 surveillance cameras sabotaged in four months

London. Mass sabotage of surveillance cameras

Le Matin (Switzerland), August 18, 2023

London police reported on Friday that hundreds of cameras had been sabotaged in the run-up to the controversial extension of the tax on the most polluting vehicles, scheduled for the end of the month in the British capital. Restricted to central London when it was introduced in 2019, the ULEZ (ultra low emission zone) had already been considerably expanded in 2021 and is due to be extended to the whole of Greater London on August 29.

The extension of the tax, in the midst of the UK’s cost-of-living crisis, has been strongly criticized by local residents, and some opponents are attacking the cameras placed on the roads – which are supposed to read license plates to check that the vehicle is exempt or that the tax has been paid.

Static Noise – Benefit gig w/ Swaraj Chronos/Bug Central/Ashes of Death/Grunt/Revival of Death/Hearse Pileup

A solidarity benefit gig for Boris, an anarchist comrade in France who in 2021 was sentenced to 2 years in prison for burning down radio towers that housed the communications networks of the French police as well as all four mobile network operators.

During his time in prison a fire in his cell left him tetraplegic, and in need of a “state”-of-the-art wheelchair if he is to be mobile again.

Athens,Greece: ZIZANIA squatted social center in Viktoria and Ano Kato squatted steki in Patissia have been evicted,and some symbolic actions round Europe.

Update 25/8/23/, Cops are currently evicting Zizania squatted social center. We will update soon with plans for solidarity and resistance.

update 29/8/23, Cops are now putting sheet metal on the windows of Zizania. There are OPKE cops at the door.

We call for an immediate gathering at the corner of Feron and Aristotelous.

25/8/23 , ZIZANIA squatted social center in Viktoria and Ano Kato squated steki in Patissia have been evicted.

Zizania is a squatted social center that opened in early April 2021, during the second lock-down and shortly after the events of Nea Smyrni. In this context, we chose to open a squat in Viktoria– having in mind the hard repression that hit the squatting movement over the last years, the huge loss of organising spaces, the policing and privatisation of public spaces, and the marginalisation of the area of Viktoria and its struggles. We chose to squat this specific building both for its central location and its 30 year old history of being a self-organized space(with breaks) in this neighborhood of the marginalised, the left aside,the undesirable.

Viktoria is where we live, where we met, and in different ways became part of the area’s constant struggles. It’s a neighborhood of the marginalized— migrants, queer people, sex workers, drug users, poor people, and those the state and society pushes to the outside. It is created and maintained by racist police checks, fascist attacks, sexist harassment, forced social isolation, and deep housing precarity while replicating Greece’s external borders in its criminalisation of people of color through barriers to healthcare, documents, work and education.

Solidarity greetings for the Soli Week for Anarchist Prisoners 2023

Also here from Freiburg in southern Germany, solidarity and warm greetings for the Soli Week. For almost 27 years I have been observing the world behind bars from the perspective of a prisoner. First in pre-trial detention, later in criminal detention and finally since 2013 in preventive detention. Preventive detention was introduced in Germany in 1933, yes, it was the Nazis who amended the criminal law accordingly on 24.11.1933 – since then, people can be held in prison in Germany for an unforeseeable period of time even after serving their prison sentence. In the 1990s and 2000s, other European countries followed suit, always in the name of “public security”: Belgium, France, Sweden, Great Britain, Switzerland and many more.

In many cases, normal imprisonment is already a death sentence in instalments, first the soul dies, and often in the end the body dies as well. Just a few weeks ago, a man in his early 40s took his own life in the Freiburg preventive detention, apparently seeing no realistic prospect of regaining his freedom. His wife, children, adoptive mother and siblings mourn him – but so do some of the other inmates. However, it must be clear that prisoners also have the right to take their own lives. No one should be allowed to forbid them to do so. But it must also be asked what responsibility the state institutions bear for such a decision? It would be too easy to release them from their responsibility by referring to the autonomous decision of the respective inmates.

Letter from Ambro – anarchist prisoner in Chile for the Week of Solidarity

“I wish I could transform myself into a wolf, so I could sink my teeth into the womb of society in an orgy of destruction.” Bruno Filippi

From some corner of the Chilean prisons

Having finished my daily hours in the courtyard, from my cell I throw myself into writing a few lines in order to find a brief moment of freedom that will interrupt my prison reality.

If I think of anarchist solidarity, the first thing that comes to my mind is my arrival in prison, when my comrades who had already been held hostage for various political reasons took charge of orienting me and gave me the tools to survive in this hostile and indifferent world.

Arson Attack Against a Vehicle Owned by Environment-Destroyer Züblin in Berlin, Germany

Arson Attack Against a Vehicle Owned by Environment-Destroyer Züblin in Berlin

(B) Switch Off! Neighborhood and environment destroyer Züblin

Somebody has to build all this shit, the highways through forests, the jails, the palaces of the rich in the formerly green backyards of Berlin’s old buildings, the concrete aisles along the banks of the Spree River.

As we walk through the city, we repeatedly encounter the signs of a handful of companies that want to use them to mark who owns the city. Among them is Züblin, a construction corporation that pours cement on the explosive increase in rents. Züblin has long been active in the business of the capitalist attack on our living spaces, and was already targeted forty years ago for this reason, when construction machinery burned because of its involvement in the construction of Runway West in Frankfurt. During the Nazi regime, Züblin used forced laborers at Frankfurt Airport. Through its connection with Strabag, Züblin has become one of the leading tree killers, see the expansion of the A49 through the Danni or A66 through the Fechenheimer forest.
