After about a year and a half in hiding, on January 25, 2020, Gabriel Pombo Da Silva was arrested in Portuguese territory. Gabriel previously spent more than 30 years in prison
With an international arrest warrant for a residual theoretical sentence of over ten years (a personal vendetta converted into a “legal detail”), Gabriel continued to contribute to the anarchist struggle with his writings.
This 28 page collection of writings by Gabriel Pombo da Silva is available here to download..
The zine is written in Gabriel’s amazingly raw, imaginative style and shows why the German and Spanish authorities tried to suppress him forever – Read his words, be inspired and take action!!
Gabriel Pombo da Silva is a well-known Galician anarchist militant who has spent more than 30 years in prison. Always at the crossroads of repression, both Spanish and from other European States, for his commitment to the anti-capitalist struggle, he wrote a book during his stay in jail – Diario e ideario de un delincuente -, as well as different booklets – gathered in the book Parte de un appido— and other writings.
On Monday, January 27, 2020, the trial (*extradition) against our comrade began on Portuguese soil, the first stage during which the following emerged in summary.
Portugal has so far accepted the paralysis of extradition to the Spanish state and the defence has about 20 days to add documentation that further supports the importance of non-extradition..
The defence has immediately challenged the calculation of the residual penalty that the Spanish State claims to apply to our comrade, namely 16 years! Without going into too much legal detail, it can be seen from the documentation justifying this count, that it is a “legal revenge” (but what state revenge is not?).
For the moment, Gabriel remains detained at the Oporto Judicial Police, waiting to appear before the judge more or less in mid-February. He can receive visits every other day from anyone. He is well and he is strong, combative, determined and ironic as always!
On the same morning of Monday, January 27, the houses of Elisa Di Bernardo’s mother, father, sister and brother-in-law were searched with the aim of seizing computer equipment.
The public prosecutor’s office of Brescia issued yet another 270bis [subversive association with purpose of terrorism or subversion of the democratic order] for Elisa and Gabriel accusing them of belonging to a subversive cell with international base and support (shakes earth, shakes!).
This new (but old, crushed and retracted) repressive wave obviously does not facilitate Gabriel’s legal situation and the regime press of the three countries has already done its duty by exalting the close investigative collaboration between Italy, Spain and Portugal.
To journalists, our historical enemies’ puppets, their duty… to us our revolutionary duty (and let each one call it what he wants, je je).
Updates will follow.
Freedom for Gabriel! Freedom for all! Long live anarchy!
Ardire, Scripta Manent, Operation Buyo … Do they mean anything to you? These are only a few of the police judicial “operations” that our “clan” has lived on its own skin for being and remaining anarchists to the extreme consequence.We are a nomadic clan that goes from country to country in search of accomplices who practice anarchism without asking for approval or consensus, who act without worrying about the “politically correct” discourse (so much in vogue in our times) that haunts our little shops today. We are also not interested in “aesthetics”, but “ethics”, the practical, the real.
We are looking for an anarchism that dirties our hands, keeps us awake and always on guard (as opposed to any complacency); this anarchism that is not liked by and disturbs the servants of the State, who have not abandoned their efforts to imprison us.
It is not easy to go from one place to another. It’s even more difficult along with our daughter, that little beauty we called Iraultza, and a canine companion that we will never fail to take with us, because she is an integral part of our clan.
Apparently, the Spanish State has not stopped wanting to put me in prison for a “residual sentence” that exists only in its putrid mind and its disgusting papers.
That being how things are, we have decided to live in the shadows, bringing our invisible contribution to all the projects that are of interest to us and with which we feel complicit.
We express all our subversive solidarity for the DESERVING comrades on trial in Italy and the world. We have no declarations to make in the courts of the “gowned” because we don’t give a shit about their theatres and farces, their accusations and acquittals.
The best way to propagate Anarchy is to live it intensely, not by representing it. We are not for farce or comedy.
There will be no more “communiques” from our clan: We are free and we are dangerous.
For Anarchy!
The nomad-anarchist clan. Elisa-Gabriel-Iraultza and the quadruped.

Belmarsh Prison inmates have revolted in support of WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange, who has now been moved out of solitary confinement.
What kind of world do we inhabit when Belmarsh Prison Inmates
prove more ethical than the entire Western Empire? In some refreshingly good news about Julian Assange, WikiLeaks is reporting that its founder has finally been moved out of solitary confinement to a different wing in Belmarsh Prison where he can have normal social interactions with 40 other inmates.
Chelsea Manning is back in jail for the 2nd time for refusing to testify against the victimized Julian Assange
So what caused this shift in Assange’s treatment? Did the powerful empire-like alliance loosely centralized around the United States suddenly come to its senses and realize that torturing journalists for telling the truth is the sort of tyrannical abuse that it accuses other governments of perpetrating? Did officials in the British government bow to public pressure from the pro-Assange demonstrations which have been taking place in London month after month and have some faint flickerings of conscience? Did Belmarsh Prison authorities come to their senses after more than a hundred doctors warned that their cruelty was killing the award-winning publisher?
Why no. As it turns out, Assange was in fact rescued from the cruelty of this globe-sprawling empire by the concerted protests of high-security prison inmates.
On January 25, various feminist collectives, NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations), and community members from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas met at the Santa Fe international border crossing to protest the unsolved murder of 26-year-old activist and artist Isabel ‘Isa’ Cabanillas de la Torre.
Isabel was murdered on the dawn of January 18, after being reported missing the day before. Isabel’s body was discovered next to her bike in the designated “safe corridor for women” located in downtown Juarez. She was found with two bullet wounds, one to her chest and one to her head.
Mexican authorities have not yet made any arrest, named suspects, or know the reason for Isabel’s murder. Contradictory rulings on the murder have been provided by the Attorney General’s Office and it’s own women’s department within the office.
Hijas de su Maquilera Madre said that they held the Mexican state responsible for the safety of women and activists in Juarez and Mexico, issuing demands for the highest levels of Mexican authorities, “to open the lines of investigation into Isabel’s femicide.” They also demanded an end to the gun exports from the US to Mexico and an end to impunity for women’s murders.
Demo at the border for Murdered activist, Isabel Cabanillas
Juarez Mayor Armando Cabada enforced a temporary closure of the international border in conjunction with the protest. In an act of empty propaganda, Cabada solely deployed women police officers to monitor the demonstration, a similar tactic seen last year in Mexico City.
Some of the organizers declared that the demonstration was peaceful, pandering to authorities by stating that those who took part in violent actions or destruction of private property were infiltrators.
Hundreds of indignant people marched up the international bridge, rallying against the Mexican government’s inaction to address violence against women. Despite the calls by organizers against property destruction, some demonstrators spray-painted slogans such as ‘Isa Vive (Isa Lives)’ on buildings and structures as they passed.
