6 MONTHS OF IMPRISONMENT OF THE ANARCHIST COMRADE ABEL

🔴 DEMONSTRATION⚫️

📆 Saturday 30 November
🕢 19:30h
📍 Plaça Orfila, Barcelona

**DEMO CALLOUT**

This November 30th will mark 6 months since our anarchist comrade Abel was
kidnapped by the State and imprisoned in the Brians 2 CP Prison (Barcelona) with a firm sentence of 3 years and 9 months for the assault on a JUSAPOL protester who was carrying fascist symbols in 2018.

All the judicial instances of the State, ratified the accusation of the crime of injuries with aggravating factors of hatred with the aim of thus shielding his henchmen and further criminalizing the militancy of the comrade. A punishment, which the state has doubled, since during all this time his classification in ‘third degree regime’ has been rejected on two occasions, alluding to the ideology of the comrade and his lack of empathy with the “victim”.

This is how the Power justifies the reintegration programs (an essential condition for obtaining prison permits) to which the prisoner must submit in order to annihilate his revolutionary conscience: like a carpenter who hammers in the crooked nails on a board.

In this way, they turn the sentence into torture and blackmail.

But for us, their penitentiary policy based on exercising a set of structural violence according to the social position of the prisoners is nothing new: pure labor exploitation, humiliation and aggression by the jailers and
systematic mistreatment of families are just the tip of the iceberg.

We have never expected that their laws would serve as a tool for us, much less
aspired to reform them to soften the abuse and suffering. Because we know that
prison, like any other repressive institution, is an instrument at the service of the Power and the ruling class, whose objective is to annihilate any hint of
dissent in society.

An institution that only deserves to be destroyed and abolished.

Therefore, the jail, that hole where time seems to stop and sometimes
passes without us realizing it, is the place that Democracy has reserved for those who dare to question the established order. Throwing into it those who are forced to live in the blind spot and those who fight without ceasing.

We also go out to shout for all of them.

Because we do not forget the rest of the prisoners in struggle who resist inside and outside the State and those who could be yet to come. Because we are not satisfied with making the glass that separates us tremble with our fists, with hurrying our voices in a call against the visitors clock, with sending our affection by post.

We want to see those walls fall.

This November 30th we go out to defend what is ours and what they want to steal from us.

For the love of Anarchy and hatred of repression.

Because we are those who, loving the spaces we inhabit, resist in them, putting our bodies on the line for the trivial and simple fact that they are our trenches. We prefer the ashes of the metropolis to the yoke of Capital.

Because of the hatred of homelands, borders, wars and disasters, where we are in the front line, lovers of conflict and revolt, who sow mutual support and solidarity against all systems of domination.

Without offering to the dead, wounded and fallen, not a minute of silence, not a minute of kneeling, but a whole life of combat and revenge.

Because of the hatred of the bosses, bourgeois, parties, fascists and tyrants who with their mask of democrats wanted us by force as extras in the spectacle of misery.

Despite this, we decided to be protagonists because of our passion for freedom and hatred of their authority, because of our affection for our equals and our love for our brothers who want to take us away.

For all this, we take to the streets this November 30th. Because solidarity is the weapon that shortens the distance that separates us. For love of Anarchy and hatred of repression.

The anarchist Abel Mora: “I did not push the neo-Nazi, yet they condemn me for co-authorship because they say that everything was premeditated”

The activist entered Brians Prison on the same day that the amnesty law was passed, convicted of a crime of treasonous injury and aggravated hatred against a protester of the Jusapol Police March in 2018. The Supreme Court confirmed the sentence of three years and nine months in prison by considering him a co-author of an action he did not commit.

Jeremy Hammond: Anarchist Hero sends Message from Prison

June 11th 2019 statement

A special message from anarchist prisoner Jeremy Hammond

A raised fist to you all this June 11th! May this letter find you in revolutionary health and spirits. Although I am unable to be with you physically on this occasion due to being held in captivity by the BOP, I still feel connected with you on this day of solidarity. It was nice to run the 5K with you a few days ago for Running Down The Walls. I also sent out a few dozen origami models decorated with June 11th anarchist tattoos; you should be receiving those shortly.

Big ups to the other anarchist comrades behind bars. We have been through a lot of trials and tribulations over the years: harassment from abusive guards, solitary confinement, diesel therapy, the mind-numbing frustrations from battling the brutal bureaucracy for so many years. Never have we been alone, however. Continue reading “Jeremy Hammond: Anarchist Hero sends Message from Prison”

Spain: Prisoners Resisting Cruelty Start Hunger Strike on May 1st

COMUNIQUES> NEWS> Female and Male Prisoners> SPAIN:

RESISTING PRISONERS  WILL START HUNGER STRIKE THIS MAY 1st

The distancing of prisons from cities and inhabited areas, the mental walls, the lack of conscience, the belief in a line between “the good guys” and the “bad guys” … we do not know what the reasons are, nor which of them has more strength so that we have reached this point, in which the people who are locked in the Penitentiary System, matter so little and generate this terrible lack of empathy outside.

We want to take out, for a moment, the voice of these people who are fighting. They themselves have written a proposal of collective struggle where they show “the situation in which we are systematically subjected to abuse of power, aggression, continued physical and mental torture, and inhuman and degrading conditions of existence in many aspects: medical-sanitary abandonment, labour exploitation, legal defenselessness, cultural discrimination, non-existent freedom of expression, etc. “

Faced with this situation; from within, from the incarcerated people, a proposal of Collective Hunger Strike has emerged to throw a ray of light on the normalized violence in prison, to reach “out”. Continue reading “Spain: Prisoners Resisting Cruelty Start Hunger Strike on May 1st”

Second, a Molotov cocktail was thrown against a Carabinieri barracks in Rovezzano (Florence) on 21st of April, 2017.

Greece releases jailed anarchist writer Tasos Theofilou

 Theofilou walks free after five years in jail, but Greek anarchists accuse the government of a crackdown.

 from   Athens, Greece – ………A cloud of tension hovered inside an Athens courtroom as an anxious crowd waited to hear the appeal verdict in the case of 34-year-old Tasos Theofilou, an anarcho-communist and novelist who has been in prison since 2012.

Several police officers suited in riot gear entered the room, while lead judge Ourania Papadaki warned the 200 solidarity activists and supporters who were present to remain calm in advance of Friday’s verdict.

“We find the defendant innocent of all charges,” Papadaki said, prompting tears of joy throughout the crowd.

His supporters chanted in unison: “The passion for freedom is more powerful than any prison cell.”

Three of the five judges ruled in Theofilou’s favour, while the other two voted to uphold his guilty verdict.

In February 2014, Theofilou was first sentenced to 25 years in prison after being found guilty of robbing a bank and killing a taxi driver on the Greek island of Paros in August 2012.

For half a decade, he rejected the charges against him, and many Greek activists considered him a political prisoner due to his involvement in the anarchist movement.

Disbelief was sketched across the faces of Theofilou’s parents, who were sitting in the front row.

“It’s impossible to believe it,” his mother said, smiling and visibly relieved as she hugged a handful of her son’s supporters.
