A high court judge yesterday granted an injunction that directs the Home Sweet Home occupiers of Apollo House to vacate the building by noon on January 11th. This means that the occupiers will remain in the building until after Christmas which is some good news but it still means that the State is quite willing to forcibly eject people from safe accommodation back out onto freezing streets or into unsafe, sub standard accommodation.

UPDATED: The Workers Solidarity Movement’s collectively agreed position on women’s freedom.
1. We recognise that women are specially oppressed as a gender, that they face oppression as women. We call this oppression sexism. As anarchists we oppose sexism wherever it exists on principle and in practice.
2.1 The nature of women’s oppression has changed as societies have developed. For example, the oppression of women that might have existed in some pre-class societies assumed a fundamentally new character with the development of class society. Just as the oppression of women in feudal societies changed its character with the development of capitalism.
2.2 We reject the idea that women are in any way inferior to men or that women are biologically predisposed to assume certain roles in society. Sexism, racism etc are not genetic traits but, rather, are formed by social existence, upbringing and education.
We publish the letter of anarchist activist Siao. They were imprisoned on December 1, but released today. The letter was written during the time they were in prison.
Although cops evicted activists at Hambacher forest several times, parts of the forest are still occupied. The massive repression against activists did not stop the actions. The resistance against the destruction of the forest near Cologne, Germany continues.
Hi!
Thank you very much for writing (and for write to Hodei also).

URGENTE COMUNICADO POR EL CIERRE DE ACCIÓN ECOLÓGICA
Acción Ecológica denuncia la solicitud de procedimiento administrativo de cierre (extinción y disolución) de nuestra organización solicitada por Diego Torres Saldaña, Vice-Ministro de Seguridad Interna, al Ministro del Ambiente, por desviarnos de los fines y objetivos para los cuales fuimos constituidas.
Esta decisión administrativa, de acuerdo a la notificación del Ministerio del Interior al Ministerio del Ambiente (MDI-VSI-2016-00033), fue tomada por difundir “los graves impactos ambientales y al ecosistema que resultarían de la actividad extractivista” en la Cordillera del Cóndor y por alertar sobre la violación de derechos humanos de las comunidades que viven en esta zona. Debemos decir, que son precisamente estos objetivos por los cuales se constituyó Acción Ecológica, como lo señala el artículo 2 de nuestro estatuto: “Promover la defensa de los…
“You may have seen the riots taking place at HMP Birmingham on 16 December, this demonstation acts in solidarity with those incarecerated at HMP Birmingham who are fighting on the inside, and against G4S, HMP and the Prison Industrial Complex. Bring pots&pans for noise!”
Again, it’ll be starting at 17:30 on Sunday 18th (today), outside HMP Birmingham, Winson Green Road. The organisers are Birmingham Prison Resistance, who I’d not heard of before, but may be ones to watch as the situation at HMP Birmingham develops.
It should have been an acquittal. This was a political show trial with lots of media hype over what was basically a large firework. The aim of the police was to link Monica and Francisco with anarchists arrested on suspicion in the Piñata and Pandora police raids and brand them all as terrorists in an organisation called GAC.
None of this worked out for them despite choosing rabid far right prosecutors and magistrates. There was extensive solidarity and support and instead of 44 years they got 12 years jail, on the basis of blurry security camera photos that ”proved” they were in the city at the time.
Now the Supreme Court has reduced that to 4 and a half and since they have already endured nearly 3 years incarceration we will be planning freedom celebrations soon!!
….media circus inventing the ”shocking destruction” after the ”bomb” which Monica and Fran are accused of planting in the Zaragoza Basilica, symbol of the Catholic/Fascist dictatorship… State demanded 44 yrs jail each with zero evidence.
