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.

South London,UK : A solidarity benefit gig on Saturday, 2 September for Boris, an anarchist comrade in France

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.

For an internationalist and anti-authoritarian mobilisation against the war. Second meeting in Rome, September 2nd, 2023 (Italy)

For an internationalist and anti-authoritarian mobilisation against the war. Second meeting in Rome, September 2nd, 2023

The discussion about the war in Ukraine on July 22nd in Rome was well attended by comrades and comrades from different territories and cities. A shared will emerged to help stop a massacre that threatens to drag us all — on this or that side of the frontline — towards an abyss with no return (be it the nuclear apocalypse or a state of permanent war between the different capitalist blocks, the repercussions of which are already being felt in our latitudes: war economy, increasing militarisation of society, demonisation of opinions, attack on all social and class struggles, iron fist against subversives and opponents…).

Montargis (Loiret) France : riot and sabotage go hand in hand

Montargis (Loiret): riot and sabotage go hand in hand

Infrastructure destroyed during the riots, then acts of sabotage on [fiber] cabinets
La République du Centre, July 26, 2023 (excerpt)

Hundreds of residents in the Sirène and Chaussée neighborhoods have been without Internet and telephone service for weeks now, due to rioting and sabotage of fiber network cabinets.

It’s a recurring message on social networks over the last few days, on groups dealing with daily life in Montargis: many residents of the Sirène and Chaussée districts have pointed out that they no longer have an Internet network, and are wondering about the potential end of the outage, which is linked for many to the violent riots that took place on the nights of June 29 and 30.

Solidarity With Anarchist Prisoners: A Message From Occupied Ohlone/Miwok Territory

On August 21 2023, approximately 20 people gathered in San Francisco to write letters in solidarity with imprisoned revolutionaries, liberationists, insurrectionists, and anti-colonial warriors facing state repression around the globe. In commemoration of both BLACK AUGUST and INTERNATIONAL WEEK OF SOLIDARITY WITH ANARCHIST PRISONERS, people came together to read zines, share food, stories, and discuss the cases of numerous anarchist prisoners.

At the end of the night, a small group of comrades dropped a banner over the 101 freeway in San Francisco, declaring solidarity from the Bay Area with anarchist prisoners everywhere. We encourage others to please take action this week; whether in the form of writing a letter or dropping a banner – “Every sincere effort is as special as every human life.”

EN/FR/EL Greece: Resistance message of the imprisoned member of the Anarchist Action Organisation Th. Chatzianggelou for the international week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners

Thanos Chatziangelou ….and the ashes of the Bastille will spread to the furthest reaches of the earth

“See, how their indifference is killing us”

On a planet that increasingly resembles a slaughterhouse, there are people with steeled consciences, deeply buried in the concrete and iron of non-existence for their subversive intentions. People who have honoured their status, standing with respect and dedication in the passage of history. They confronted the lackeys of power face to face, not as spectators in the arena of the spectacle but as fighters. Sworn enemies of injustice and opponents of the status quo.

On a planet that increasingly looks like a prison, there are real prisoners with the flower of liberation rooted in their hearts. Prisoners of a silent unrelenting war against decadence and alienation that promises no security but thirsts for life. And every night they gaze at the stars as the walls of confinement rise. And each dawn grows taller with will and perseverance. Until the last dawn comes…

Aude : no vacation for the network of the police

Aude: emergency numbers unreachable this August 15 due to an act of vandalism
L’Indépendant, August 15, 2023 (excerpt)

Vandals don’t take vacations. On the night of Monday August 14 to Tuesday August 15, as yet unidentified individuals severed the fiber network in a commune of Haute Vallée, along a railroad line. An act with serious consequences, since emergency numbers (15, 18 and 17) have been unreachable in the area ever since, regardless of the mobile operator.

“Even on a public holiday, our teams remain mobilized to restore access to these emergency numbers as quickly as possible. The area concerned is difficult to access: the teams have to walk for an hour and a half along the railroad line, and in the heat, before reaching the location”, explains Pierre Savanio, Director of Relations with Local Authorities for Orange. As a result, two teams are working simultaneously on site to weld and replace the cables over a distance of more than a kilometer as quickly as possible.
