Autonomous mapuche community Temucuicui: On Recent Police Repression in Our Territory

Temucuicui – On Recent Police Repression in Our Territory

March 4, 2023

Public declaration on recent occurances of police repression in our territory.

Autonomous mapuche community Temucuicui, declare the following before local, national and international public opinion:

1. Yesterday afternoon, March 3, 2023, the special forces of the carabineros launched a brutal intervention, using different weapons indiscriminently against our weichafe who resisted the military police incursion with only lances and witruwe (1), and gravely wounding weichafe Hugo Queipul (son of lonko Victor Queipul). They shot directly at our peñi with steel pellets, causing internal bleeding and compromising his stomach and lung, a serious clinical situation for which he is hospitalized in the intensive care unit, and will require surgery for the wounds tomorrow at Victoria hospital. We must remember that these are the very same steel pellets that took the life of our weichafe Alex Lemun in 2002, in addition to being a prohibited type of ammunition in the acting protocols of public order control. It should also be mentioned that an 11 year old minor in the community was also wounded by pellets in various parts of his body, and also needed to go to the doctor’s office in Ercilla. There are also others who were wounded in the community who refuse to go to a clinic out of fear of being arrested.

Traffic disrupted for TGV trains between Paris and the South-East: A possible “act of vandalism” for the SNCF
France3, March 28, 2023

Delays and patience… The South-East axis was affected all day Tuesday, March 28, by “a prolonged track intrusion” linked to the demonstrations against pension reform at Gare de Lyon in Paris, another at Gare Saint-Charles in Marseille and “a signaling failure in Seine-et-Marne,” said a spokesman for SNCF Réseau. “An investigation is underway into the causes of this incident, which could be linked to an act of vandalism,” he added.

Porto Alegre, Brazil: Protest at the Italian Consulate in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Porto Alegre: Protest at the Italian Consulate in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Actions in solidarity with comrade Alfredo Cospito have not been absent in the territory in conflict with the brazilian state.

The consulates of Belo Horizonte and São Paulo were visited (1). Posters were pasted up in the cities of Porto Alegre and São Paulo, the consulate in Porto Alegre was attacked with burning oil this past December (2).

March 1, 2023, at 11am, in response to the call for agitation for Alfredo, we went to the Italian consulate in Porto Alegre in a fleeting and surprising protest with pamphlets, incendiary devices and banners. We didn’t go to ask for anything, but to demonstrate our hatred of states, prisons and the societies that support them, as well as expressing our deep and complicit solidarity with comrade Alfredo Cospito. His hunger strike of more than 130 days is a fight to the death against isolation in italian prison (41bis), a struggle that is more than dignified (3).

Any gesture will seem small in contrast… but apathy will never be our comrade!

A DEMONSTRATION RALLY on Saturday 29/4/23 OF SOLIDARITY AND COUNTER-INFORMATION IN THE STATE NARRATIVE THAT WANTS OUR 4 COMRADES BEHIND BARS

 

A DEMONSTRATION RALLY OF SOLIDARITY AND COUNTER-INFORMATION IN THE STATE NARRATIVE THAT WANTS OUR COMRADES BEHIND BARS

On 14/11/21 our comrades Fotis D. and Jason (Iasonas) R. did not stop at a checkpoint carried out by a DIAS team in the area of N. Faliro. Immediately afterwards a pursuit started against them by a vehicle without crossbars, which rammed them on the move risking fatal injury, then they were taken to the G.A.D.A central police headquarters in Athens . There, after compulsory fingerprinting and DNA sampling, they were charged with the attack on the Piraeus traffic police earlier that evening. With invalid evidence, namely, the spreading of false news, since they talked about a house-den and an explosives manufacturing plant, inaccurate statements of cops, which constantly fell into contradictions, it was decided to remand them in custody.

Nearly a year after the arrest of F.D. and I.R., with no trial date set and the case file still open, the investigator had room to implicate more people. On the morning of Tuesday 20/9/21 , State security cops, accompanied by a prosecutor, raided the house of comrades Panagiotis B. and Lambros B. After they were given a summons to appear for the case of the attack on the Piraeus Traffic Police, a house search was conducted, where personal belongings were seized. The comrades were arrested, detained at the GADA and subsequently released.

On 6/10/21, after interrogation in the Piraeus courts, they were remanded in custody once again on the pretext of criminalizing their comradeship and friendly relations with the already remanded for the same case, F.D. and I.R. Despite the many means at the disposal of the E.L.AS, (Greek police) having imprisonment and convictions as their aim, it resorts to the classic method of creating evidence. In particular, they choose to ‘identify’ (through video footage), simple and everyday clothing (for example, ‘cargo pants’). Our comrades are confronted with the following charges:

[Poster] FREEDOM for Georgia Voulgaris, P. Kalaitzis, Th. Chatziaggelou

FREEDOM for Georgia Voulgaris, P. Kalaitzis, Th. Chatzianggelou

At dawn on Tuesday 8/2/22, two comrades were arrested following an operation by the “anti-terrorist police”. The reason was the burning of the “Foundation for National and Religious Reflection” in Thessaloniki. In the house where they were arrested, “incriminating” evidence was found which, in the context of the Terror Law, acquires a “felony” character. Later, another comrade was arrested. All three were remanded in Korydallos prison, prosecuted under the Terror Law (187a) for their participation in the organization “Anarchist Action”, the arson of the “Foundation for National and Religious Thought” and other actions.

Anarchist Thanos Chatzianggelou claimed responsibility for this arson and the findings in the house, and later on 10/3/22 he claimed political responsibility for his participation in the organization “Anarchist Action”.

The anarchist Gewrgia Voulgaris defended the choice to have a supporting role in carrying out the action. She remained in custody for 7 months and then the prison board decided to continue her detention under house arrest with an electronic bracelet.

P. Kalaitzis, whose only connection to the case is his relationship with the house and his companion, friendly and collegial relations with T.H. denied all charges and after 7 months of pre-trial detention he was released from prison with restrictive conditions, to sign every 1st and 15th of the month and a ban on leaving the country.

TRIAL TUESDAY 4/4, 9:00am LARISA COURT
The war against the State and capital is unceasing, unyielding and multiform. The struggle for equality, freedom and solidarity may have losses, but it will be victorious because justice is on our side. No criminalisation of anarchist comrades, social and friendly relations.

Assembly of Solidarity with the Prisoners, imprisoned, fugitives and persecuted fighters.

EN/IT : A political intervention of solidarity with the comrade and hunger striker, since 20/10/22, Alfredo Cospito at the Italian Educational Institute in Patission. (Athens,Greece)

(EN) On Friday, March 17th, at the launch of the presentation of the collective volume – tribute to the work of Altiero Spinelli (“a visionary and one of the great ‘fathers’ of European unification”) at the Italian Educational Institute in Patision – Athens (across the NTUA gate), a political intervention of solidarity with the comrade and hunger striker, since 20/10/22, Alfredo Cospito was held.

Video

Interrupting their civil celebration, in the presence of the ambassador of the Italian state Patrizia Falcinelli and the president of the European Movement of Italy Pier Virgilio Dastoli, the president of the Mediterranean Studies department of the University of the Aegean S. Dalis, the vice president of the European Parliament D. Papadimoulis and the former MEP K. Botopoulou, as well as other big business exploiters and their henchmen who were smitten before the elections in the institutional salons, such as the former minister and current MP G. Katrougalos, we shaked for a while the image of their superiority in their field.

The hypocritical “sensitivity” of Europe’s bourgeois democratic politicians and scholars for rights and federalism (of the economies and the capital), in the media image of 2016, when Renzi, Merkel and Hollande paid tribute to Spinelli’s grave (in favor of the foundations of European unity), was forced to be silent in order to hear the speech of the anarchist hunger striker Alfredo Cospito and the fight against 41bis and against the prison.Slogans were heard, flyers were thrown and we made clear to the present representatives of the former government that we do not forget the passing of the new Penal Code and the way it opened for the condition of incarceration here. Our struggles recognize no borders.

Napoli and Pozzuoli, Italy: Raids on houses of comrades in connection to a 270 bis investigation into attacks in solidarity with revolutionary prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas

On March 28, 2023 two houses, one in Napoli and one in Pozzuoli, were raided and four comrades were taken to the police station, in connection with a 270 bis investigation (anti-terrorist association), which was officialized in May 2022 following several house-searches.

Although the investigation is still ongoing, one comrade was placed under preventive arrest, accused of an arson attack against the Greek consulate in 2021. The prosecution contextualizes this attack within the campaign in solidarity with revolutionary Greek prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas, who at the time was on hunger strike.

Alfredo Cospito – 30 March, 2023 ”Remains dangerous and without a trace of remorse”

Alfredo Cospito – 30 March, ”Remains dangerous and without a trace of remorse”

Today, 4 days after the decision of the Supervisory Court and after the general outcry not only from comrades but also from the whole of the progressive – and not only – world, the Italian media – after days of silence where there is no substantial information about his health condition – are reporting and highlighting the ‘reasons’ for the rejection. Reasons such as the judges’ insistence that Alfredo, in addition to 41bis, ‘could have indicated, organised and communicated hits and targets to the FAI comrades’, with the aim of carrying them out.

At a time when more than 200 lawyers and judges in the country have signed a petition to protest against his illegal detention in 41bis, the media are speaking of the ‘obvious danger’ because of which the court has again rejected the appeal of the defence, bringing back the original decision of the Supreme Court of Rome in December 2022, according to which ‘if Alfredo had remained in maximum security, he would have continued to ‘lean’ on his ‘free associates’ and be a point of reference and a source of indication and planning as to the lines to be followed and the targets to be hit’… .

‘He is extremely dangerous, persistent and unbreakable’

The ‘reasons’ are further explained in the sentence filed today, Thursday 30 March, as follows:

“Computer pirates in action to give solidarity to Alfredo Cospito, the anarchist leader – previously detained in Sassari, now confined to the Opera penitentiary (Milan) – for months on hunger strike against the harsh prison to which he is subjected and which in recent days has been taken to the hospital for medical checkups.

The attack targeted several cigarette vending machines in Sardinia : after entering the computer system, the hackers managed to make the message “Fuori Alfredo dal 41 bis” appear on the screens. And, further down, “Close the 41 bis free all free all”.

Solidarity Means Attack

friendly additions to AN EARNEST PROPOSAL

The clear cutting of Weelaunee has begun, the rise of politically legitimized overt right wing fascism is here, the white supremacist systemically racist society is only doubling down on it’s thirst for control and expansion, the reaches and brutality of prison continually expands, a genocide against trans people is ongoing, abortion access is criminalized and outlawed in parts, police murder 3 to 5 people a day, colonial society is not going to destroy itself, concentration camps for migrants are only expanding, the for-profit, for-technology, and for-progress destruction of this earth and the ensnaring ecological collapse is only worsening. A million different ways it can be said that the current conditions of life are so immeasurably horrid, ensnaring, entrapping, and destructive that there is nothing in it that is worth saving.

The world we live in is upheld/maintained/progressed by a network of interlinking and inseparable institutions, supply chains, and infrastructure [warriorup.noblogs.org] that kills, controls, and only allows life to exist so-far as to facilitate the upwards stream of capitalism.

There is no future, not one to wait for, not one to build towards, not one to hope for, no such thing as good progress. There is nothing that is going to be done to fight against this hell that you are not doing. No-one is coming to save you. Nothing is guaranteed to work. If you fight you are not alone.
