‘Pandora’ Frame-Up of Anarchists: Case Dismissed .. Zero evidence

CASE DROPPED!!!..the 2nd part of the Pandora operation against the “anarchist terrorism”
The National Court said that after eight months of investigation it has only been proved that the nine detainees are active in anarchist collectives, but there is not even evidence that they participated in the commission of any crimes.

As we knew from the beginning our comrades are amazing occupiers, resisters and community activists fighting the plague of corrupt capitalist evicters who are destroying the planet.. NOT ”TERRORISTS” even in the state’s wide definition of the term.

The state is the real terrorist, spending millions to cynically try to suppress our movement by imprisoning activists, intimidating supporters, raiding the Occupied Social Centers and promoting a vast campaign of media lies….but this time THEY HAVE FAILED.

In fact more people than ever have shown solidarity against obvious Frame-Ups and more people identify, support or at least recognise the anarchist movement as progressive, necessary and useful.

from Diagonal rough translation of part..
“The accused attended certain meetings, which gathered in public places, and took part without referring to any events related to terrorist activities.”

This is one of the conclusions reached by the Central Court of Instruction No. 3 of the National Court after eight months of investigation into the nine people arrested, on October 28, 2015, in Barcelona and Manresa in the framework of the second phase Pandora operation against the alleged “anarchist terrorism.” One detainee was remanded in custody for several weeks.

All the arrested in the Pandpra and Piñata raids were related to two anarchists awaiting trial for allegedly bombing a church! The Spainish right are still furious about this as it referred to the mega crimes of the church in aiding the fascist dictatorship, many of the arrested anarchists were accused of being in a prisoners support group for the two, Fransico and Monica. The campaign for their release continues with hope after the Piñata raids seem to be falling apart. — All the arrested in the Pandora and Piñata raids were related to two anarchists jailed without evidence for allegedly bombing a church! The Spanish right, who control the courts, were furious about this as it referred to the mega crimes of the church in aiding the fascist dictatorship, many of the arrested anarchists were accused of being in a prisoners support group for the two, Fransico and Monica. The campaign for their release continues with hope after the Piñata raids cases have fallen apart.

The head of the court, Judge Carmen Lamena, has decided to shelve the case against these nine persons, who the Catalan police accused of belonging to a terrorist organization.

….Records made the day of this second phase of the operation Pandora, note that “despite the elapsed time” researchers have not yet contributed any result of the study of computer devices and documents seized. The case also refers to the judgement of Monica and Francisco, in which the court ruled out the existence of an “anarchist terrorist conspiracy”…

'piñata' is a multi wrapped parcel full of goodies that's hung up at kids birthdays and whacked by blindfolded children till all the treasures fly out. — ‘piñata’ is a multi wrapped parcel full of goodies that’s hung up at kids birthdays and whacked by blindfolded children till all the treasures fly out.

….”The only result obtained by researchers is the finding that the investigated relate to people from anarchist collectives. They have been limited to report on their meetings, trips and visits to prisons,” explains the document.

“Faced with such poor results, I believe that they have not obtained in the present process objective data accessible to third parties and verifiable that may be considered evidence to state, not even circumstantially, participation in the alleged offences”…….

Archivada la segunda parte de la operación Pandora contra el “terrorismo anarquista”

La Audiencia Nacional afirma que, tras ocho meses de investigación, sólo se ha probado que las nueve personas detenidas militan en colectivos anarquistas, pero no hay ni siquiera indicios de que hayan participado en la comisión de delitos.

Si no hay terroristas habrá que inventarlos
Nueve detenciones en una nueva fase de la Operación Pandora

“Los investigados asisten a determinadas reuniones, que se reúnen en sitios públicos, y que mantienen conversaciones, sin que se refiera en ninguna de ellas hechos relacionados con actividades terroristas”. Ésta es una de las conclusiones alcanzadas por el Juzgado Central de Instrucción Número 3 de la Audiencia Nacional después de ocho meses de investigación sobre las nueve personas detenidas, el 28 de octubre de 2015, en Barcelona y Manresa en el marco de la segunda fase de la operación Pandora contra el supuesto “terrorismo anarquista”. Uno de los detenidos estuvo en prisión preventiva durante varias semanas.

La titular del juzgado, la magistrada Carmen Lamena, ha decidido archivar el causa contra estas nueve personas, a las que los Mossos d’Esquadra acusaba de pertenencia a organización terrorista.

El auto señala que de cada uno de los investigados se han referido acciones pasadas ya y se ha afirmado su integración en determinados grupos anarquistas catalanas –denominados en el auto también con las siglas GAC como Grupos Anarquistas Catalanes–, “sin que se les relacione con acciones concretas constitutivas de delito”.

En cuanto a los registros realizados el día que tuvo lugar esta segunda fase de la operación Pandora, el auto apunta que “pese al tiempo transcurrido” los investigadores no han aportado aún resultado del estudio de los dispositivos informáticos y documentos intervenidos. El auto hace referencia también a la sentencia de Mónica y Francisco, en la que el tribunal descartó la teoría del “terrorismo anarquista”

“El único resultado obtenido por los investigadores es la comprobación de que los investigados se relacionan con personas del colectivo anarquista. En los sucesivos oficios se han limitado a informar sobre sus reuniones, viajes y visitas a centros penitenciarios”, explica el auto. “Ante tan escasos resultados, estimo que no se han obtenido en el presente procedimiento datos objetivos, accesibles a terceros y verificables que puedan considerarse indicios para afirmar, ni siquiera de manera indiciaria, la participación de los investigados en los hechos que se les imputa”, continúa.

Huge solidarity demo against the earlier raids and arrests.. attacking one of us they attack us all..

La magistrada finaliza el texto afirmando que no hay avances que permitan continuar la investigación y que el Ministerio Fiscal se ha limitado a “afirmar de manera genérica la existencia de indicios sin concreción alguna sobre persona determinada”.

JUNE 11th statement by Jeremy Hammond

Revolutionary greetings on this June 11! Solidarity with all Earth warriors and anarchists behind bars!

We are up against a system of power and profit, a system which is destroying the planet and forcing the people into poverty and imprisonment. Many of us who have fought back found ourselves in the crosshairs of an extensive counter-intelligence apparatus who use trumped-up “terrorism” charges and entrapment by informants to put us in prison for years.

Anarchist Gabriel may be released after 30 years

Don’t let the Claws of the State Crush our Rebel Comrades!

Present situation of our ‘kidnapped’ comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva
by C.N.A. on May 28th, 2016

After more than 30 years spent in the cells of the Spanish and German states it seems there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel for our colleague Gabriel Pombo da Silva.

He was extradited from prison in Germany under a European arrest warrant issued by the court of Albacete for a further sentence of 3 years and 7 months. Through the application of normal reductions he should already have completed this sentence..

fax campaign see here: CAMPAÑA DE FAXES POR LA LIBERACIÓN INMEDIATA DE GABRIEL POMBO DA SILVA

On May 17, the same court in Albacete gave an order for his immediate release, and in the following days vafrious comrades went to the prison to welcome him to freedom. But in vain, because he is still behind bars.

Originally from Galicia, Gabriel is treated as a political terrorist prisoner under the harsh Spanish regime. His only ‘crimes’ were expropriations from banks for the anarchist cause, (as he admits in his autobiography), refusing to repent and escaping when let out on parole. He was also accused of masterminding an Italian anarchist direct action campaign from inside prison, along with Marco Camenisch , another long term anarchist prisoner. He has recently completed a hunger strike against prison conditions.

Warsav, Poland: Open letter in connection with the arrest of three anarchists [ENG-PL]

On the night of May 23^rd, the police in Warsaw arrested three anarchists on charges of an alleged arson attempt of a police vehicle. The three were transferred to a remand prison where they are to be held in custody for three months, awaiting trial. They face up to 8 years in prison. Media frenzy broke out over the arrest in the past few days, with high-ranking politicians and experts on terrorism discussing the matter on TV. Photos and video reruns of the arrested walking with chains around their feet and hands are broadcast on public transportation. The text below is a translation of the statement that was sent out by various groups from the anarchist and wider social justice community in Poland, in response to these arrests.

Open letter in connection with the arrest of three anarchists in Warsaw

The mass media in Poland are releasing increasingly more absurd, one-sided reports about the arrest of three anarchists on Monday, May 23^rd. We interpret this as an attempt to intimidate and criminalize social justice movements in Poland….
