MACHORKA

An effort is being made to disrupt the communication between prisoners with their loved ones as well as the flow of information that guides collectives, solidarity movements and campaigners to initiate actions in solidarity with prisoners’ rights and struggles behind bars. Squats, banners, demos, articles, are all integral aspects of necessary social action that breaks the silence and amplifies the reality in the country’s prisons so that it becomes visible for the rest of society, even those unaffected by incarceration and its consequences.

A cinque anni di distanza dai fatti contestati, si avvia alla conclusione il maxi-processo agli studenti del movimento dell’Onda e, più in generale, a chi tra il 2009 e il 2011 si è reso protagonista delle lotte sociali in città. Settantuno anni di carcere distribuiti tra settanta imputati. Confermata l’accusa di associazione a delinque su sette imputati, alla base dell’inchiesta che nel 2011 aveva già prodotto l’applicazione di 35 misure cautelari utilizzate dalla procura per attaccare e intimidire le lotte che si producevano in città.

Solidarity to Osman Evcan from Greece

Osman Evcan, who is imprisoned in the prisons of the Turkish state from 1992 and identifies himself as a vegan anarchist since 2003, is fighting a tough struggle for the rudimentary conditions of living, like the achievement of mail, telephone communication, information etc, with the main point being the vegan alimentation right. Since the 22th of February, he is carrying his 4^th hunger strike for the same reasons, in a very short period of time from the last one, as they transferred him recently in L type prisons, losing everything he had achieved till now with his former exhausting hunger strikes.

We barely know him personally, but we cannot help but feel moved by the fact that in a country-war zone, an imprisoned comrade is choosing and insisting to raise the matter of total liberation of life from the shackles of civilization and authority. An imprisoned comrade who refuses to feed himself with corpses of animals, which have been tortured by the meat industry and all the derivatives of pain, who refuses to become a cogwheel in this bloodthirsty capitalist machine which is destroying and plunders the earth.

Prison is a milestone in the revolutionaries’ path towards freedom. It’s an intermediary stop, but not the end.

The authority often chooses the subtraction from mathematics. Like when they subtract lives with bombings in the warzones of their energy-generating and geopolitical interests, like when they subtract refugees from the cityscapes, entombing them in isolated concentration camps, like they subtract the smallest crumbs of the underpaid wage slavery, beating more brutally with whips, bodies that have gotten used to rickets, like when they want to subtract everyone who defies them, by locking them up inside prisons…

In this way, every revolutionary anarchist is facing the biggest contradiction. They are fighting for freedom and yet they’re flirting with the captivity of the prison, they love life so much and yet death from the guards of authority wants to ambush them.

In these years that we are in prison, our steps have gotten used to be calculated inside the barbed wires, our eyes have learnt by heart every centimetre of these few cubic meters of the forecourt, but our minds have never been captured by the iron fences.

How can you let yourself capitulate, when you are facing on one side the provocative wealth of those in power and on the other side tearful eyes of a child at a concentration camp, on one side the mafia of the politicians, judges and journalists who are counting people like louses of the earth and on the other side men and women who are committing suicide because of the standoffs of the economic crisis, looking in garbage to find food, sleeping in the streets, on one side armies of happy slaves being dazzled from the storefronts and the screens of a fake life and on the other side the bad bevy of loneliness and silence being your only companion.

La noche fresca de la madrugada del dia jueves 10 de marzo del 2016, nos dirigimos a colgar un lienzo en solidaridad con lxs compañerxs Mónica Caballero y Francisco Solar, quienes en esos días enfrentaban con entereza y dignidad el juicio inquisidor del miserable estado español, en una pasarela de una ancha carretera por donde transitan miles de autos (o probablemente más) y donde miles de hermanxs no-humanxs son asesinadxs, ahí donde policías y gendarmes se movilizan y hacen sus traslados, ahí donde lxs eternamente pasivxs ciudadanxs trasladan su cuerpo en dirección al salario o agotadxs de vuelta de él, ahí donde nuestro espíritu se sentía vivaz y feliz por el pequeño gesto hacia nuestrxs hermanxs.
