Week of mobilization and international solidarity from September 21 to September 30, for all our comrades kidnapped all over the world.

The survival of capitalism is so monotonous and is structured in such a way that it is not so different from that of cruel prison. Cities, timetables, work, school, family and countless repressive bodies are  suffocating us in a way that resembles a big prison unit. Surveillance cameras 24 hours a day, thousands of cops defending property, severe judges smiling satisfied when they enforce their harsh laws, tight handcuffs before their impregnable cages, etc, etc: this is what society uses in order to keep individuals under control; those who, fearing the punishment reserved to those who trespass the codes of imposed behaviour, stay silent, get used to oppression, absorb it like an integral part of life, like something natural, and so they prefer to avoid conflict with authority instead of rebelling. The powerful in all States don’t spare any efforts to repress and imprison those who have set themselves against the existent.

But today we are not going to write about survival within capitalism. We want to greet those who did not hesitate to trespass their moral enclosures and fought power face to face, those who today are inside the most blatant edifice of repression, prison. We are writing to express our solidarity with our comrades in jail. Power attacks by imprisoning comrades and organizes itself in order to crush the ideas of freedom. The revenge of power particularly hits well known individuals who openly declare themselves antiauthoritarian or anarchist and make an important weapon of struggle out of the spreading of ideas-deeds, as happened in Italy, Bolivia and Chile. The spectre generating from the possibility of an international web (we don’t mean any kind of organization) must continue to materialize like a real proposal.

A web through which comrades in different parts of the world - who don’t know one another nor will they ever meet, don’t obey any kind of structure or need any ideologies or ‘leaders’, can unite their will, efforts and complicity in order to face dominion in all its aspects, and with different instruments can overcome language barriers and fictitious borders and establish links of solidarity by overcoming false impositions…

Therefore, from September 21 to September 30,  we call for a week of unrest and solidarity with our brothers and sisters, with comrades kidnapped all over the world. It shouldn’t be necessary to make calls for a week of unrest, as we normally don’t like to do this because ‘solidarity’ does not knows calendar dates. But actions are being diluted in the endless chasm of information and in ‘so-called local struggles’, whereas the concentration of our energies in a limited period of time will help us to give a renewed and constant impulse to the struggle against prison and the spreading of libertarian ideas. Any action, any word of support gives strength and courage to prisoners.  And in this struggle for total liberation we don’t forget the repression suffered by millions of animals locked up in zoos, circuses and laboratories. We must struggle for their liberation.

This is a call to say, by multiform actions and different instruments, that our imprisoned comrades are not forgotten. Our actions of solidarity elude all watchtowers and run over kilometres of ocean in order to embrace all the irreducible standing out in the struggle inside and outside prison.  However we put the abstract imposition of borders into question, since so-called internationalism shouldn’t be such, considering that ‘in the world of bosses we are all foreigners.’

Rebel greetings to:

-In Chile: Luciano Pitronello “Tortuga”, Carla Verdugo and Iván Silva, the comrades of so-called “Segurity case”: Juan Aliste Vega, Marcelo Villarroel, Freddy Fuentevilla. To Alberto Olivares, Juan Tapia and to the brother and sister on the run Gabriela Curilem and Diego Rios. And to those arrested in street struggles; Sebastian “Chasca” Fajardo, Eduardo “Mecha” Garay, and to all those standing trial for street clashes.

- In Bolivia: Henry Serragundo, Nina Mancilla and Mayron Mioshiro
- In Argentina: Diego Petrissans and Leandro Morel

- In Mexico: Mario Lopez, Braulio Duran and comrade on the run Felicity
Ryder’s.

-In Indonesia: Eat and Billy.

-In Italy: Stefano Gabriele Fosco, Elisa Di Bernardo, Alessandro Settepani, Sergio Maria Stefani, Katia Di Stefano, Giuseppe Lo Turco, Paola Francesca Iozzi, Giulia Marziale, Lucca Abbá and those sentenced for the clashes of the G8 Genoa 2001,, Massimo Passamani and Daniela Battisti (under house arrest).

-In Switzerland:  Marco Camenisch and Costa.

-In Germany: Gabriel Pombo da Silva, and Sonja Suder and her codefendant Christian Gauger (the latter two were captured last year after 33 years on the run

-In Spain: Tamara Hernández (now free on bail, she was sentenced to 8 years awaiting partial amnesty to shorten her sentence), Claudio Lavazza and Juan Rico.

-To the comrades imprisoned in Russia and Belorrussia.

And above all to all the prisoners in struggle and the comrades on the run in Greece (the comrades of the Cells of Fire, Revolutionary Struggle and all those imprisoned for their antiauthoritarian practice).

And to all the prisoners who set themselves at war also from inside the cages all over the world…
Until the destruction of the last bastion of the prison society!
With anger and love…
see you in the streets!

[Χιλή] 21-30 Σεπτέμβρη: Μέρες αγκιτάτσιας και αλληλεγγύης με τα αιχμάλωτα
αδέρφια και συντρόφια μας ανά τον κόσμο

Η επιβίωση στον καπιταλισμό είναι τόσο καλουπωμένη και μονότονη, ώστε δεν διαφέρει πολύ από την ωμή φυλακή. Η πόλη, τα ωράρια, η δουλειά, οι σπουδές, η οικογένεια και ένα σωρό καταπιεστικοί οργανισμοί μάς πνίγουν με τρόπο τέτοιον που μερικές φορές μοιάζει λες και βρισκόμαστε σε κάποια μεγάλη πτέρυγα φυλακής. Κάμερες παρακολούθησης επί 24ώρου βάσης, χιλιάδες μπάτσοι να φυλάνε την ιδιοκτησία, αυστηροί δικαστές με χαμογελάκια ευχαρίστησης για την εφαρμογή των δρακόντειων νόμων τους, σφιχτές χειροπέδες που προηγούνται των ακατανίκητων κλουβιών τους και μια ατελείωτη σειρά αντίστοιχων καταστάσεων, είναι ό,τι χρησιμοποιεί η κοινωνία για να κρατά στη σειρά τα άτομα, τα οποία, τρέμοντας τις τιμωρίες
που τους περιμένουν αν σπάσουν τον επιβεβλημένο κώδικα συμπεριφοράς, το βουλώνουν, συνηθίζουν στην καταπίεση και την αφομοιώνουν ως δομικό στοιχείο της ζωής τους, ως κάτι το φυσικό, προτιμώντας να αποφύγουν τα μπλεξίματα με την εξουσία, αντί να εξεγερθούν.
Οι ισχυροί όλων των κρατών δεν τσιγκουνεύονται τα μέσα κάθε είδους
προκειμένου να καταστείλουν και να φυλακίσουν όσους κρατάνε στάση
σύγκρουσης με το υπάρχον. Σήμερα όμως δεν θα γράψουμε για την επιβίωση εντός του καπιταλισμού, αλλά θα χαιρετίσουμε όσες και όσους δεν δίστασαν να υπερβούν τους ηθικούς τους φραγμούς και αντιμετώπισαν πρόσωπο με πρόσωπο την εξουσία, όσες και όσους σήμερα πλαγιάζουν στην πιο προφανή απόδειξη της καταστολής, τη φυλακή. Γράφουμε για να εκφράσουμε την επείγουσα ανάγκη μας να δείξουμε την αλληλεγγύη μας στα έγκλειστα συντρόφια μας.
Η εξουσία επιτίθεται φυλακίζοντας συντρόφια και οργανώνεται για να
καταπολεμήσει τις ιδέες της λευτεριάς, με την εκδικητικότητά της να πέφτει κυρίως επί αναγνωρίσιμων ατόμων που χωρίς περιστροφές δηλώνουν αντεξουσιαστές ή αναρχικοί και φτιάχνουν μέσω της προπαγάνδας των ιδεών-δράσεων ένα σημαντικότατο όπλο αγώνα, όπως συνέβη στην Ιταλία, στη Βολιβία ή στη Χιλή. Το φάντασμα που γεννά η δυνατότητα ενός διεθνούς δικτύου (δεν αναφερόμαστε σε κανενός είδους οργάνωση) συνεχίζει να υλοποιείται ως μία πρόταση πραγματική, στην οποία συντρόφια από διάφορα μέρη του κόσμου, που δεν γνωρίζονται ούτε θα γνωριστούν μεταξύ τους, που δεν υπακούουν σε κανενός είδους δομή και δεν αναζητούν μήτε ιδεολογικούς ταγούς μήτε αρχηγούς, ενώνουν επιθυμίες, δυνάμεις και συνενοχές για να αντιμετωπίσουν την κυριαρχία σε όλο της το φάσμα, χρησιμοποιώντας διαφορετικά εργαλεία, υπερβαίνοντας τα γλωσσικά εμπόδια και τα κάλπικα σύνορα, εδραιώνοντας δεσμούς αλληλεγγύης και ξεπερνώντας τις ψεύτικες
επιβολές…
Γι’ αυτόν το λόγο, από τις 21 ως τις 30 Σεπτέμβρη καλούμε σε μια βδομάδα αγκιτάτσιας και αλληλεγγύης προς τα αιχμάλωτα αδέρφια και συντρόφια μας ανά τον κόσμο. Αν και δεν θα έπρεπε να είναι αναγκαίο να καλούμε σε εβδομάδες αγκιτάτσιας, μιας και γενικά είμαστε κριτικοί απέναντι σε αυτά τα καλέσματα, δεδομένου ότι η αλληλεγγύη δεν γνωρίζει ημερολογιακό προγραμματισμό, θεωρούμε ωστόσο ότι μερικές φορές οι χειρονομίες χάνονται στον καθημερινό καταιγισμό πληροφορίας και τους αποκαλούμενους «τοπικούς αγώνες», και έτσι η συγκέντρωση ενέργειας σε ένα χρονικό διάστημα καθορισμένο μάς βοηθά να δώσουμε μια νέα και συνεχή ώθηση στον αγώνα ενάντια στις φυλακές και στην προπαγάνδιση των ελευθεριακών ιδεών, με οποιαδήποτε δράση, οποιαδήποτε κουβέντα συμπαράστασης να δίνει δύναμη και
κουράγιο στους κρατουμένους. Σε αυτόν τον αγώνα για τη συνολική
απελευθέρωση δεν θέλουμε να αφήσουμε στην απέξω την καταστολή στην οποία υπόκεινται μυριάδες ζώα που βρίσκονται έγκλειστα σε ζωολογικούς κήπους, τσίρκα και εργαστήρια, και την ανάγκη μας να αγωνιστούμε για την απελευθέρωσή τους.
Αυτό το κείμενο καλεί να δείξουμε μέσω της πολύμορφης δράσης και
διαφορετικών εργαλείων πως δεν ξεχνάμε τα έγκλειστα συντρόφια μας και ότι οι αλληλέγγυες χειρονομίες μας ξεφεύγουν οποιουδήποτε πύργου επιτήρησης και διασχίζουν μίλια ωκεανού για ν’ αγκαλιάσουν οποιοδήποτε ανυπότακτο άτομο αγωνίζεται μέσα ή έξω από τις φυλακές. Παρομοίως, αμφισβητούμε την αφηρημένη επιβολή των συνόρων, γι’ αυτό ο αποκαλούμενος διεθνισμός δεν θα ’πρεπε να ’ναι ως έχει, γιατί «στον κόσμο των αφεντικών είμαστε όλοι ξένοι».
Αντάρτικους χαιρετισμούς σε:
- Χιλή: Σε Λουσιάνο Πιτρονέγιο «Τορτούγα», Κάρλα Βερδούγο και Ιβάν Σίλβα, στους συντρόφους της αποκαλούμενης «υπόθεσης σεκιούριτι» Χουάν Αλίστε Βέγκα, Μαρσέλο Βιγιαροέλ και Φρέντυ Φουεντεβίγια.

ITALIANO:Settimana di agitazione e solidarieta` internazionale dal 21 al 30 Settembre per i nostri compagni e le nostre compagne sequestrat@ in tutto il mondo

La sopravvivenza nel capitalismo e` cosi` quadricolata e monotona da non essere poi molto differente da quella della cruda prigione; la citta`, gli orari, il lavoro, lo studio, la famiglia e un innumerabile quantita` di organismi oppresivi, ci asfissiano in tal modo che a volte sembrerebbe stessimo in qualche grande sezione carceraria. Videocamere di vigilanza 24 ore al giorno, migliaia di sbirri custodiando la proprieta`, severi giudici con sorrisetti soddisfatti all’applicare le loro leggi durissime, strette manette che precedono le loro gabbie inespugnabili e un lunghissimo eccetera, e` tutto cio` che la societa` utilizza per mantenere controllati gli individui, coloro che, timorosi dei castighi promessi a chi sconfina i codici di condotta imposta, tacciono, si abituano alla oppressione, la assimilano come parte integrale della vita, come qualcosa di naturale e preferiscono evitare i conflitti con la autorita` invece di ribellarsi.
I potenti di tutti gli stati non si sono risparmiti sforzi di tutti i tipi per reprimere e incarcerare coloro che si sono mantenuti in posizioni di scontro con l’esistente.
Ma oggi non scriveremo a proposito della sopravvivenza dentro al capitalismo, vogliamo invece salutare quell@ che non hanno avuto nessun dubbio a traspassare i loro recinti morali e si sono scontrati faccia a faccia con il potere, quell@ che ad oggi dormono dentro al piu`palpabile edificio della repressione, il carcere. Scriviamo per esprimere la nostra urgenza di solidarizzare con i nostri compagni e le nostre compagne in galera.
Il potere attacca incarcerando i compagni e le compagne e si coordina per combattere le idee di liberta`.
Questa vendetta ricade principalmente su individui ben riconoscibili che senza maschere si sono dichiarati antiautoritari o anarchici e hanno fatto del propagarsi delle idee-azioni una importantissima arma di lotta, come cio` che e` successo in Italia, Bolivia o Cile.
Il fantasma che si genera nella possibilita`di una rete internazionale (non ci riferiamo a nessun tipo di organizzazione) continui a materializzarsi, come una proposta reale.
Una rete nella quale compagn@ di differenti luoghi del mondo, che non si conoscono ne`si conosceranno mai, che non obbediscono a nessun tipo di struttura e  che non hanno bisogno di ideologi ne`leader, uniscano volonta`, sforzi e complicita`per confrontarsi con il dominio in tutto il suo spettro; che, attraverso differenti strumenti, superando le barriere linguistiche e le frontiere fittizie, stabiliscano legami di solidarieta` e superino le false imposizioni…
Convochiamo quindi, dal 21 al 30 di settembre, una settimana di agitazione e solidarieta’  con i nostri fratelli e le nostre sorelle, con i compagni e le compagne sequestrat@ in tutto il mondo.
Anche se non dovrebbe essere necessario appellare a settimane di agitazione, visto che in generale ne siamo critici perche` la solidarieta’ non conosce date di calendario, i gesti comunque si vanno diluendo nella continua voragine della informazione e nelle “cosidette lotte locali” mentre la concentrazione delle energie in un lasso di tempo ridotto, ci aiuta invece a dare un nuovo e costante impulso nella lotta contro le carceri e nella diffusione delle idee libertarie; qualsiasi azione, qualsiasi parola di appoggio apporta forza e coraggio ai detenuti e alle detenute.
E in questa lotta per la liberazione totale non vogliamo tralasciare la repressione che soffrono milioni di animali chiusi in zoo, circhi e laboratori, e della nostra necessita` di lottare per la loro liberazione.
Questo testo e` una chiamata per dire, mediante l’azione multiforme e con distinti strumenti, che i nostri compagni e le nostre compagne incarcerat@ non sono dimenticat@, i nostri gesti di solidarieta’ evadono qualsiasi torre di vigilanza e attraversano chilometri di oceano per abbracciare a qualsiasi irriducibile che si posizioni nella lotta dentro e fuori dal carcere.
Della stessa forma poniamo in dubbio questa imposizione astratta delle frontiere, ragione per cui il cosidetto internazionalismo non dovrebbe essere tale, visto che “nel mondo dei leader siamo tutti stranieri”.
Saluti ribelli a:
-In Cile: Luciano Pitronello “Tortuga”, Carla Verdugo e Iván Silva, a i compagni e le compagne del cosidetto  “caso Segurity”:  Juan Aliste Vega, Marcelo Villarroel, Freddy Fuentevilla. A Alberto Olivares, Juan Tapia e ai fratelli e sorelle profugh@  Gabriela Curilem e Diego Rios. E agli arrestati della lotta di strada; Sebastian Fajardo, Eduardo Garay, e a tutt@ quell@ che sono ora sotto processo per gli scontri di strada.

E a tutt@ i/le prigionier@ che si posizionano in guerra anche dentro le gabbie in qualsiasi parte del mondo…
Fino alla distruzione dell’ultimo bastione della societa’ carceraria!

CON AMORE E RABIA… CI VEDIAMO NELLE STRADE!

GERMAN
Agitations- und Solidaritätswoche mit unseren gefangenen Schwestern, Brüdern und GenossInnen auf der ganzen Welt vom 21. bis 30. September.

Das Überleben im Kapitalismus ist so eingeschränkt und monoton, dass es sich nicht allzu sehr vom hartem Gefängnisleben unterscheidet; die Stadt, die Zeitpläne, die Arbeit, das Studium, die Familie und eine Unzahl an unterdrückenden Organismen ersticken uns, so dass es manchmal scheint, als ob wir in irgendeinem großen Gefängnistrakt wären. Videoüberwachung 24 Stunden am Tag, Tausende von Polizisten, die das Eigentum beaufsichtigen, strenge Richter mit zufriedenen Lächeln auf den Lippen, wenn sie ihre harten Gesetze anwenden, fest sitzende Fußfesseln, die ihren unerschütterlichen Käfigen vorausgehen und eine langen Liste an weiteren Mitteln, die die Gesellschaft benützt, um die Individuen in Schranken zu halten; die versprochenen Strafen bei Überschreitung der auferlegten Verhaltensmaßregeln fürchtend, halten sie den Mund, gewöhnen sich an die Unterdrückung, nehmen sie als Teil ihres Lebens, als etwas natürliches auf und ziehen es somit vor, Konflikte mit der Autorität zu vermeiden und sich lieber nicht aufzulehnen.
Die Mächtigen aller Staaten haben keinerlei Mühen gescheut, um diejenigen zu unterdrücken und einzusperren, die in Konfrontationsstellung zu den bestehenden Verhältnissen verharrt haben. Aber heute schreiben wir nicht über das Überleben innerhalb des Kapitalismus, sondern grüssen diejenigen, die nicht gezweifelt haben, ihre moralische Einzäunung zu durchbrechen und sich von Angesicht zu Angesicht der Macht entgegengestellt haben, die heute in dem greifbarsten Gebäude der Repression schlafen, im Gefängnis. Wir schreiben, um der Notwendigkeit Ausdruck zu verleihen, uns mit unseren GenossInnen im Gefängnis zu solidarisieren.
Die Macht greift an, indem sie GenossInnen einsperrt und koordiniert sich, um die Ideen der Freiheit zu bekämpfen; diese Rache fällt vor allem auf erkennbare Individuen ab, die sich offen antiautoritär und anarchisch erklärt und aus der Verbreitung der Ideen-Aktionen eine sehr wichtige Waffe des Kampfes gemacht haben, so wie in Italien, Bolivien und $hile. Das Gespenst, das ihnen die Möglichkeit eines internationalen Netzwerkes eröffnet (wir beziehen uns auf keinerlei Art von Organisation), materialisiert sich immer mehr als ein realer Vorschlag, in dem GenossInnen aus verschiedenen Orten der Welt, die sich weder kennen, noch kennenlernen werden, die keiner Art von Struktur gehorchen und die keine Ideologen, keine AnführerInnen benötigen, Wille, Anstrengung und Komplizenschaft vereinen, um sich der Herrschaft in all ihren Spektren entgegen zu stellen, Solidaritätsbände knüpfen und die falschen Zwänge überwinden, indem sie unterschiedliche Werkzeuge gebrauchen und die sprachlichen Hürden und erfundenen Grenzen überbrücken…
Deswegen rufen wir zu einer Agitations- und Solidaritätswoche mit unseren gefangenen Schwestern, Brüdern und GenossInnen auf der ganzen Welt vom 21. bis 30. September auf. Auch wenn es nicht notwendig sein sollte, zu Agitationswochen aufzurufen -im Allgemeinen stehen wir ihnen kritisch gegenüber, weil die Solidarität keine Kalenderdaten kennt, lösen sich die Gesten jedoch manchmal im fortlaufendem Strudel der Information und den “so genannten lokalen Kämpfen” auf. Die Energien auf einen engeren Zeitraum zu konzentrieren hilft uns, dem Kampf gegen die Gefängnisse und der Verbreitung libertärer Ideen einen neuen und konstanten Antrieb zu geben, jegliche Aktion, jegliches Wort der Unterstützung gibt den Gefangenen neue Kraft und Mut.
Ausserdem möchten wir in diesem Kampf um die totale Befreiung die Repression, die Millionen von Tieren eingesperrt in Zoos, Zirkusse und Labore erleiden, und unser Bedürfnis, um ihre Befreiung zu kämpfen, nicht unerwähnt lassen.
Dieser Text ist ein Aufruf dazu, aus der vielgestaltigen Aktion heraus und mit unterschiedlichen Werkzeugen auszudrücken, dass unsere eingesperrten GenossInnen nicht vergessen sind, unsere Gesten der Solidarität entkommen jeglichem Überwachungsturm und überqueren Kilometer von Ozeanen, um jedes unbezwingbare Individuum zu umarmen, das innerhalb oder ausserhalb der Gefängnisse Position bezieht. Ausserdem stellen wir jene abstrakte Auferlegung der Grenzen infrage, und damit auch den so genannten Internationalismus, dieser dürfte sich nicht so nennen, weil in “der Welt der Bosse sind wir alle AussländerInnen”.
Rebelische Grüsse an:
- In Chile: Luciano Pitronello “Tortuga”, Carla Verdugo und Iván Silva, an die Genossen des so genannten “caso Segurity” (“Segurity Fall”): Juan Aliste Vega, Marcelo Villarroel, Freddy Fuentevilla. An Alberto Olivares, Juan Tapia und an die Schwester und den Bruder auf der Flucht Gabriela Curilem und Diego Rios. Und an die Gefangenen des Straßenkampfes; Sebastian Fajardo, Eduardo Garay, und alle, die wegen des Straßenkampfes prozesiert werden.

- In Argentinien: Diego Petrissans und Leandro Morel.

- In der Schweiz: Marco Camenish und Costa.
- In Deutschland: Gabriel Pombo da Silva. Sonja Suder und Christian Gauger (die letzten beiden letztes Jahr nach 33 Jahren Flucht erfasst).
- In Spanien: Tamara Hernández (auf der Straße, zu 8 Jahren Haft verurteilt und in Erwartung auf Strafminderung, um die Haftstrafe zu kürzen), Claudio Lavazza und Juan Rico.
- An die in Russland und Belarus eingesperrten GenossInnen.
- Besonders an alle kämpfenden Gefangenen und an die Flüchtigen in Griechenland. (An die GenossInnen der Feuerzellen, Revolutionären Kampfes, und all diejenigen, die auf Grund ihrer antiautoritären Praxis eingesperrt worden sind)
Und an all die Gefangenen, die sich innerhalb der Käfige wo auch immer auf der Welt im Krieg erklären und Position beziehen…
¡Bis das letzte Bollwerk der Knastgesellschaft zerstört ist!

MIT LIEBE UND WUT… WIR SEHEN UNS AUF DER STRASSE.

SPANISH

Semana de Agitación y Solidaridad desde el 21 al 30 de Septiembre con nuestrxs hermanxs y compañerxs secuestradxs en todo el mundo.

La sobrevivencia en el capitalismo es tan cuadriculada y monótona que no difiere demasiado de la cruda cárcel; la ciudad, los horarios, el trabajo, el estudio, la familia y un sinnúmero de organismos opresivos nos asfixian de manera que a veces pareciera que estuviéramos en algún gran módulo carcelario. Cámaras de video vigilancia 24 horas al día, miles de policías custodiando la propiedad, estrictos jueces con sonrisitas satisfechas por aplicar sus durísimas leyes, apretados grilletes que preceden a sus inexpugnables jaulas y un larguísimo etcétera es lo que la sociedad utiliza para mantener a raya a los individuos, quienes temerosos de los castigos prometidos por desbordar los códigos de conducta impuestos, callan, se acostumbran a la opresión, la asimilan como parte integral de su vida, como algo natural prefiriendo evitar conflictos con la autoridad antes que rebelarse.
Los poderosos de todos los Estados, no han escatimado esfuerzos de todo tipo para reprimir y encarcelar a quienes se han mantenido en posiciones de enfrentamiento a lo existente. Pero hoy no escribiremos de la sobrevivencia dentro del capitalismo, sino que saludaremos a esxs que no dudaron en traspasar sus cercas morales y se enfrentaron cara a cara con el Poder, quienes hoy duermen en el más palpable edificio de la represión, la cárcel. Escribimos para expresar nuestra urgencia de solidarizar con nuestrxs compañerxs en prisión.
El Poder ataca encarcelando a compañerxs y se coordina para combatir las ideas de libertad, esta venganza cae principalmente hacia reconocibles individuxs que sin tapujos se han declarado anti-autoritarixs u anárquicxs y han hecho de la propagación de ideas-acciones una importantísima arma de lucha, como lo ocurrido en Italia, Bolivia o $hile. El fantasma que les genera la posibilidad de una red internacional (no nos referimos a ningún tipo de organización) se continúe materializando como una propuesta real, en la cual compañerxs de distintos lugares del mundo, que no se conocen ni se conocerán, que no obedecen a ningún tipo de estructura, y que no requieren de ideólogxs, ni jefxs, aúnen voluntades, esfuerzos y complicidades para enfrentarse al dominio en todo sus espectro, y utilizando distintas herramientas, superando las barreras idiomáticas, y las ficticias fronteras, establezcan lazos de solidaridad y superen las falsas imposiciones….
Es por eso que nos convocamos a una Semana de Agitación y Solidaridad desde el 21 al 30 de Septiembre con nuestrxs hermanxs y compañerxs secuestradxs en todo el mundo. Si bien no debería ser necesario apelar a semanas de agitación, en general somos críticos de ellas, porque la solidaridad no conoce de fechas calendarizadas, sin embargo a veces los gestos se diluyen en la continua vorágine de la información y las “llamadas luchas locales”, la concentración de energías en un espacio de tiempo reducido nos ayuda a dar un nuevo y constante impulso en la lucha contra las cárceles y la propagación de ideas libertarias, cualquier acción, cualquier palabra de apoyo inyecta fuerza y coraje a lxs presxs.
En esta lucha por la liberación total no queremos también dejar de mencionar la represión que sufren millones de animales encerrados en zoológicos, circos y laboratorios, y de nuestra necesidad de luchar por su liberación.
Este texto es un llamado a expresar desde la acción multiforme y con distintas herramientas que nuestrxs compañerxs encarceladxs no están olvidadxs, nuestros gestos solidaridad evaden cualquier torre de vigilancia y atraviesan kilómetros oceánicos para abrazar a cualquier irreductible que se posicione en lucha dentro o fuera de las cárceles.
Asimismo nos cuestionamos esa abstracta imposición de las fronteras, por lo tanto el llamado internacionalismo, no debería ser tal, porque en “el mundo de los jefes somos todxs extranjerxs”.

Russian writer and antifascist Pjotr Silajev is still arrested in Madrid

Silajev had been granted a political asylum in Finland early this year.
The Finnish embassy in Madrid has said that Silajev can be kept arrested
for 40 days! The Spanish police arrested Silajev in Granada because of
request from Interpol on the 21st of august. Contrary to the
expectations, he was not released in a trial in Madrid on the 22nd of
august, even though the Finnish embassy had provided all the papers
concerning his asylum and right to stay in the country. The court
wouldnt comment the case. The Spanish police said that he only had a
Russian passport when he was arrested. It is not clear how the Finnish
state will react to the arrest.

The Moscow Times interviewed Tanya Lokshina from The Human Rights
Watch, who said that the Spanish state does not have to take into
concideration the asylum from Finland and are free to send him back to
Russia. This does not seem possible. The Finnish YLE news has
interviewed the head of the immigration office Esko Repo who said that
all the European Union countries are committed to not sending people to
countries where they might face prosecution.

The lawyer of Silajev said the situation looks bad.

The Moscow Times said that the hardening line of the Russian government
towards protests can lead to even more cases where people need to flee
the country. The case of Silajev can be connected to other cases where
people who had fled the country have been tried to be sent back.

Silajev was granted asylum from Finland in april of this year. The
reason was the continuing political prosecution in Russia. The Russian
Federation wants him convicted for demonstrations against a highway in
the Khimki region outside Moscow. Among other protests, the house of the
city council was attacked and some people throw stones and fireworks in
the building in 2010.

The hunt of Silajev seems to be the last resort for the prosecutor to
convict someone from the Khimki protests. Last year Aleksey Gaskarov,
who was arrested for months, was releassed of all charges and Maxim
Solopov received a two year sentence for hooliganism. The third suspect
Denis Solopov has received an asylum from the Netherlands.

The Moscow Times have said that the mayor of Khimki Vladimir
Strelchenko resigned last week because of pressure from the new governor
of Moscow. Strelchenko is suspected of organising attacks against the
protesters who were resisting the building of the highway.

We are asking for solidarity from our comrades in Madrid and other
parts of the Spanish state! Support our anarchist and antifascist comrade!

Spread the word!

!Antifascista ruso detenido en Madrid!


El escritor antifascista ruso, Pjotr Silajev continua detenido en
Madrid. Silajev había conseguido asilo político en Finlandia a principios
de año. La embajada Finlandesa en Madrid ha declarado que Silajev puede
seguir retenido hasta 40 días. La policía española detuvo a Silajev en
Granada bajo una orden de la
Interpol, interpuesta el 21 de agosto. Tras su traslado a Madrid,
contrariamente a lo esperado, no fue puesto en libertad condicional al día
siguiente, a pesar de que la embajada finlandesa le había proporcionado
todos los papeles necesarios para garantizar su asilo y el derecho a estar
en el país. El juez no aceptó recursos al respecto. La policía por su parte
dice que Silajev tan solo tenía un pasaporte ruso cuando fue detenido.
Todavía
está por ver cuál será la reacción del Estado finlandés.

The Moscow Times entrevistó a Tanya Lokshina de The Human Rights Watch,
quien declaró que el Estado español no tiene la obligación de considerar el
asilo otorgado por Finlandia, pudiendo enviar al activista antifascista
directamente de vuelta a Rusia. Ésto no parece ser cierto. El canal
finlandés de noticias YLE ha entrevistado a Esko Repo, director de la
oficina de inmigración, que ha explicado como todos los países de la Unión
Europea tienen el compromiso de no enviar personas de vuelta a países donde
puedan ser perseguidas por motivos políticos.

El abogado de Silajev dice que la situación pinta mal.

Según The Moscow Times, la creciente represión por parte del gobierno ruso
contra protestas y disidentes puede llevar a muchos más ciudadanos viéndose
obligados a huir del país. El caso de Silajev no está aislado; puede
conectarse con muchas otras historias de personas que, habiendo huído del
país, fueron perseguidas con la intención de enviarlas de vuelta a Rusia.

Silajev obtuvo asilo en Finlandia en abril del presente año. El motivo fue
la continua persecución política que estaba sufriendo en Rusia. La
Federación Rusa quiere encarcelarlo por las manifestaciones en contra de la
construcción de una autopista en la región de Khimki, a las afueras de
Moscú. Entre otras acciones, el ayuntamiento de la ciudad de Khimki fue
atacado con piedras y petardos en 2010.

La caza de Silajev parece ser el último recurso del fiscal para intentar
seguir criminalizando las protestas de Khimki. El año pasado el activista
Aleksey Gaskarov, tras pasar varios meses detenido, fue puesto en libertad
sin cargos mientras que Maxim Solopov, otro presunto implicado en las
acciones, fue condenado a dos años de cárcel bajo el cargo de
“hooliganismo”. El tercer sospechoso, Denis Solopov, ha recibido asilo
político en Holanda.

The Moscow Times ha publicado recientemente la dimisión del alcalde de
Khimki, Vladimir Strelchenko, que abandonó su cargo debido a presiones del
nuevo gobernador de Moscú. Stretchenko es sospechoso de haber organizado
ataques, realizados por mercenarios y grupos neonazis, contra la acampada
de manifestantes que resistía y bloqueaba la construcción de la autopista.

¡Pedimos solidaridad a nuestros compañeros de Madrid y otras partes del
Estado español! ¡Apoyo para nuestro compañero antifascista y anarquista!

¡Pásalo!

Emotions run high as eviction leads to protest in northern Spain

June 27, 2012, MSNBC (Photos removed from MSMBC Website)

Riot police try to arrest members of the "Stop Deshaucios," Stop
Evictions, social movement during a protest to prevent an eviction in
Oviedo, northern Spain on June 27, 2012.

Protesters tried to prevent the eviction of an Ecuadorian family
unable to maintain its mortgage payments in Oviedo, northern Spain.
Jorge Cordero, his wife Patricia and five-month-old daughter Amanda
were evicted because they could not keep up mortgage payments to the
Cajastur bank. Seventeen people locked themselves in the apartment
with the owner and around 200 people gathered outside to try and stop
the eviction. Jorge's wife and baby daughter were not present in the
apartment during the eviction. Twenty people were arrested. The plight
of over one million Spanish people facing a crippling mortgage debt is
increasingly attracting public support as an anti-eviction movement
places pressure on politicians to act.

Activists from the "Stop Deshaucios," Stop Evictions, social movement
throw buckets of water from a balcony to prevent police entry during a
forced eviction.

Riot police take cover from water thrown from balconies by protesters of
an anti-eviction social movement.

US fugitive cites poor health in extradition fight

By BARRY HATTON - Associated Press | Oct. 28, 2011

ALMOCAGEME, Portugal — The wife of captured American fugitive George
Wright said Friday her husband has a litany of health problems requiring
treatment and should not be extradited to the United States to serve the
rest of his time on a murder conviction after 41 years on the lam.

Maria do Rosario Valente said in an interview with The Associated Press at
their home that Wright suffers from glaucoma, "very, very high" blood
pressure caused by recent stress, and has complained of chest pains. She
also said he regrets his criminal past.

"We're having a bunch of tests done to see what's his current health
condition," Valente said.

She added: "He regrets the choices he ... made. If he could, probably he'd
have made different choices."

Wright, tall and slim with his head shaved bald, did not participate in
the interview because of Portuguese court restrictions that prevent him
from talking about the case. After it was over, he kissed her and made
small talk about matters unrelated to his legal battle.

Wright's lawyer, Manuel Luis Ferreira, said he will include his client's
health problems in legal arguments aimed at preventing him from being sent
to the United States to serve the rest of a 15- to 30-year jail sentence
for the 1962 killing of a New Jersey gas station worker.

"I didn't initially realize how bad off he was," Ferreira told the AP
Friday. "Now that I've gotten to know him, I know his problems."

U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney declined comment via
email on what impact Wright's health could have on the extradition
process, which could last months.

Wright, 68, was convicted of the murder of Walter Patterson in Wall
Township, N.J... He escaped from the Bayside State Prison in Leesburg, New
Jersey, in 1970 after serving more than seven years. The FBI says says
Wright also was part of a Black Liberation Army group that hijacked a U.S.
plane from Detroit Metropolitan Airport to Algeria in 1972.

The rest of the group was arrested in France, but Wright made his way to
Portugal, and met Valente in the late 1970s in Portugal. The two later
moved to the tiny West African nation of Guinea-Bissau, a former
Portuguese colony, where the country's then-Marxist leaders granted him
asylum and a new identity.

Wright lived openly using his real name in Guinea-Bissau and even
socialized with American diplomats, but one former ambassador who served
in the country while Wright and other U.S. diplomats were based there has
told the AP they did not know about his past.

His wife worked for years as a freelance translator for the U.S. embassy
in the country's capital, Bissau, and Wright was a logistics coordinator
for a Belgian nonprofit development group until the couple moved back to
Portugal in 1993.

Valente said her husband has become a more peaceful man since his days as
a militant. She showed the AP photographs of paintings by Wright and art
work at local buildings — a skill which has allowed him to earn money in
Portugal among other odd jobs he's done over the years.

She spoke to the AP in English in the kitchen of the home she has shared
with Wright for almost since they left Guinea-Bissau, at the end of a
cobblestone street in a pretty hamlet on the Atlantic coast near a
stunning beach and about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Portuguese
capital of Lisbon.

The FBI says it requested Wright's detention after providing fingerprints
to Portuguese authorities that matched his contained in a national
fingerprint database for all citizens and residents. He was initially
jailed, but a judge allowed him to return home wearing an electronic tag
that monitors his movements and would alert authorities if he ventures
outside his house.

Neighbors describe Wright as a friendly, churchgoing family man. He has a
grown daughter and son with Valente. Some assumed he was from Africa when
he moved here.

"If ... the purpose of sending someone to jail is to rehabilitate them,
then that job is done," Valente said.

The main argument from Wright's lawyer for him to stay in Portugal is his
Portuguese citizenship — and a law from the country that allows Portuguese
convicted of crimes to serve their time at home.

The citizenship is based on his new identity from Guinea-Bissau, and the
name he was given: "Jose Luis Jorge dos Santos."

Armed with that, he married Valente in 1990, and used his new identity and
the marriage to convince Portuguese authorities to give him citizenship.

Ann Patterson, daughter of the man killed in New Jersey, declined comment
Friday on Wright's health problems but said she still wants him returned
to serve his sentence.

"Our world has been turned upside down," said Patterson, 63. "We've now
had to grieve for our father for the second time when we never should have
had to the first time."

Protesters retake Madrid square after police charge

Aug. 5, 2011 AFP By Daniel Silva

Thousands of Spain's "indignant" protesters reoccupied Madrid's main
square a day after riot police swooped down on demonstrators who rallied
at the interior ministry to protest its closure.

Police stood by late Friday as the demonstrators entered the Puerta del
Sol square, the symbol of their movement against the government's handling
of Spain's economic crisis.

"This square belongs to the people. We have much to celebrate today. We
won this battle," a spokesman for the movement said through a megaphone to
applause and cheers.

The protesters set up a huge banner at the entrance to the square that
read "Welcome Dignity" and sat on the ground to hold a "popular assembly"
to discuss future protest action.

At least 20 people were injured when riot police late Thursday charged
demonstrators who had gathered outside the ministry after trying
unsuccessfully to gain access to Puerta del Sol square for the third
straight day.

Seven of the injured were policemen. It was the most serious incident
since the "indignant" movement began in mid-May in the square against
Spain's economic crisis, soaring unemployment and political corruption.

Television images showed several protesters with blood on their faces
being surrounded by police or being loaded into ambulances.

The protesters, many wearing orange stickers that read "Very Fragile",
chanted "Shame! Shame! Shame!" as they passed the interior ministry,
protected by more than 50 riot police who stood side by side outside the
entrance.

Oriol, a 33-year-old whose arm was broken during the police charge on
Thursday, tried to give a white carnation to the head of the riot police.

The policeman refused to accept the flower but shook hands with the
protester after a brief chat.

"I asked them to be more respectful of the protesters. My goal was to show
that it does not matter if they hit us, we are not afraid. I think this
movement deserves the people's support," he told AFP, refusing to provide
his last name.

"I had my back to the police and they struck me three times, once in my
arm. The riot police hit everyone, women, old people."

The police say they were forced to intervene after some protesters tried
to climb the ministry's fence to hang a sign. The demonstrators say there
was no violence on their part.

Police cleared dozens of "indignant" protesters who were camped at an
wooden information stand in the Puerta del Sol square in a dawn operation
Tuesday that resulted in no injuries or arrests.

Since then members of the movement have staged daily demonstrations where
they try to gain access to the square were blocked by rows of riot police.

Many of the protestors linked the police action to clear the square to
Pope Benedict XVI's plans to visit Madrid between August 18-21 to attend
the Roman Catholic Church's World Youth Day celebrations.

"This square does not belong to the pope," and "Less crucifixes and more
jobs" were among the signs on display at the march in Madrid.

The "indignant" movement began when thousands of people set up camp in the
Puerta del Sol square ahead of May 22 municipal elections to protest what
they see as government's bowing to financial markets and ignoring the
needs of ordinary people.

The vast ramshackle protest 'village' was dismantled on June 12 but
members of the nationwide 15-M movement, have since staged regular
protests.

Spanish and Italian news

ELP Information Bulletin (24th June 2011) Dear friends News is coming in of a number
of arrests in Spain.  We've heard that some people may have been released but others
are still in custody and one person may be sent to prison.  Here is an offical
statement from a support campaign set up to support those arrested:
22/06/11 - OFFICIAL STATEMENT ABOUT THE 12 ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS
ARRESTED IN SPAIN AND CALL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY ON
FRIDAY 24 JUNE

Twelve animal rights activists were arrested this morning by the Spanish
police, in a series of raids sanctioned by the judge from the
Magistrate's court, Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. Arrests and
house searches of activists from the organisations Igualdad
Animal/Animal Equality and Equanimal took place in the regions of
Madrid, Asturias, Vizcaya and Galicia. The detained activists were then
taken to Santiago de Compostela court, where they were accused of
offences against the environment, public disorder, and criminal
association.

The origin of the investigations appears to be centred on the seemingly
intentional release of 20,000 minks from the farm Visones Bermúdez,
located in Santiago de Compostela, in November 2007, which would
indicate the supposed damage to the environment.

Both organisations have publicly condemned the deprivation of freedom,
torture and massacre of more than 300,000 minks every year by the
Spanish fur trade. These arrests therefore represent a clear attack by
the fur industry against animal activists for highlighting the horrors
of a practice in which the gassings, mutilations and captivity-induced
suffering of mink on fur farms are inherent and widespread.

These two organisations, which define their activism as being
non-violent, dedicate their efforts to raising public awareness of
animal rights, by informing society of the consequences of the
consumption of animal products and the promotion of alternatives. On the
other hand, even though the organisations were not involved in the mink
liberations, neither condemns these types of actions, to the extent that
they defend the interests of all animals regardless of species, as none
of the minks exploited by the fur industry deserves to live and die on a
Spanish fur farm.

Due to the fact that the authorities have no-one to hold responsible for
the mink liberations, the various members of Equanimal and Igualdad
Animal / Animal Equality have been arrested in an attempt to criminalise
the animal rights movement in Spain, as has already happened in other
European countries. The animal exploitation lobbies and powerful
multinationals wish to put the brakes on the animal rights movement in
Spain, and now we are seeing the arrival of repression.

Equanimal and Igualdad Animal/Animal Equality are holding two
simultaneous press conferences today 22/06/11 in order to read a
statement in response to the unjust arrests of these twelve activists
from both organisations, at 8pm in Madrid and Barcelona.

Tomorrow, Thursday 23 June, peaceful protests will also be held in
Madrid and Barcelona, in order for everyone who is against these arrests
to show their rejection of the events and display their support and
solidarity for the detained activists.

On Friday 24 June, we want to call for an Internationl day of solidarity
for the Spanish Activists.

Please consider to organize a demonstration in support to these
activists in front of Spanish embassies or in city centres on Friday,
the 24th of June!

take it to the streets! ELP will bring you more news on this story as we get it.
Moving on from Spanish to Italian news.  ELP has been informed about the arrests of
two people in Italy.  We've not got that much news on the arrests yet, but this is
what we have been told:

Two italian anarchists, Mattia, 26, and
Federico, 35, were arrested in the night between the 14th
and 15th of june in Milano (italy). The charge against
them is the carrying of explosive devices. They were stopped by a
police car as they were riding their bikes, their bags were searched
and the police found in one of them a device made of firelighter,
matches and a cigarette, that could be used for starting a fire. They
were arrested and after that Mattia's house was also searched: the
police took away a balaclava, a wig, some fireworks and an oil can.
Their arrest was confirmed by the
judge, so they could be held in prison until the date of the trial.
They are both anarchists and vegan, since long time involved in the
struggles for the earth and prisoners support, and against State,
capitalism and jail.

Violent infiltration in a peaceful revolution in Spain

by Oscar indybay.org
Saturday Jun 18th, 2011 8:17 PM

Peaceful demonstrators for real demoracy are depicted as violent by the press. Amateur footage exposes infiltration by the police. YouTube has blacked out some of the videos because they allegedly violate privacy. (Original video below.) The incident comes just days before a nationwide protest against economical austerity measures imposed by the government.

640_spanish-infiltrators....
original image ( 907x434)

On June 15 thousands of citizens from Barcelona gathered outside the parliament of Catalunya. They were protesting against austerity measures that were to be discussed that same day. These measures included cut-backs on education and health care.

The citizens of Barcelona defined themselves ‘indignados’, because of the fact that the banks responsable for the crisis benefited of hundreds of billions of euros in public credits while public services and citizens themselves were made to pay.

High unemployment rates, especially among young people, increased evictions of families unable to pay their mortgage, continuing speculation on real estate and widespread vacancy of housing all added to the people’s anger. They felt abandoned by a political class that was exclusively and transversally preoccupied with defending certain economical interests over the interest of the people they were supposed to represent.

Since May 15 people from Barcelona - and from all over Spain and many other countries - have given rise to popular assemblies to practice an example of what they want to reach.

Real Democracy Now.

The popular assemblies that have sprung up all over Europe are characterised by an atmosphere of peaceful exchange of ideas and constructive debate. They are aimed at reaching consensus through the use of collective intelligence. Non violence is the founding principle of the movement.

On the morning of June 16 the front pages of Spanish newspapers all brought the story of a fringe of protesters which had become violent. They were said to have attacked and insulted politicians who were being escorted through the crowd to parliament. No injuries were reported. It was emphasized that a large part of the politicians, including the president, had to be brought to parliament in helicopter.

The story did not match up with the facts documented by the people on the spot. (Links all posted below).

Amateur footage shows police attacking protesters and firing warning shots to disperse the crowd. It also shows a group of the supposedly violent protesters covering their faces and being escorted away by the police. Judging from their weaponry, these persons were likely to have been infiltrators from the Spanish national police.

Videos posted on YouTube documenting the infiltration where later blacked out. The man who posted them received a letter from the channel which stated that the footage violated the privacy of the infiltrating officers.

In his response, the blogger asserted that the films were shot at a public occasion, that no personal data were shown, and that the documented facts where all but a matter of privacy. They were a matter of public interest.

The blogger expressed his hopes that YouTube/Google was not in anyway acting as a result of pressure to censor this valuable material to the benefit of the official story as published by the mainstream media.

It would be odd if a company that tries to present itself as a defender of openness and the free exchange of ideas in closed societies as China was actively cooperating in censoring information on police violence among peaceful protesters in a Western nation.

Suspicions that the whole event was carefully orchestrated from the start until the ‘official version’ of the story came out, were fed by reports that the helicopter carrying the politicians was on stand-by long before protesters had sealed off the entrance to parliament.

In a statement issued afterwards the president of the Catalan parliament was not ashamed to say that the alleged aggression by peaceful demonstrators justified a posteriori the violent charge with which riot police cleared the Plaza de Catalunya three weeks ago, causing over a hundred wounded.

The Barcelona infiltration comes just days before an internationally coordinated protest, which is to take place in all Spanish cities on Sunday.

In the light of this recent attempt at provocation and misinformation by authorities and the press, the people of Spain will be even more determined than before to demonstrate their complete rejection of the this political class and the economic interests it represents.

They will make a lot of noise. They will respect their fellow citizens in uniform, but they will not fear them. They will be disobedient, but they will be peaceful.

And they will be vigilant.

For years our daily life has been monitered by camera’s, in private and public spaces. Wherever we go, we can expect to be observed. Today, Sunday June 19, will be no different. Everyone who commits violent acts can expect to be observed and exposed.

They will not represent a movement based on peaceful resistance.

Spanish police clash with protesters, many hurt

By EMILIO MORENATTI, Associated Press May 27, 2011

BARCELONA, Spain – Riot police firing rubber bullets and wielding
truncheons clashed Friday with protesters as authorities cleared away a
makeshift camp set up as part of a Spain-wide demonstration against the
country's economic problems. More than 100 people were injured.

The trouble started when police tried to clear the protesters from a main
square in Barcelona so sanitation workers could clean it up before
possible celebrations after a soccer match Saturday night.

Many of the protesters, who are angry about high unemployment,
anti-austerity measures and politicians' handling of the economy, refused
to move. TV images showed officers beating the demonstrators and dragging
them on the ground. Some wound up with bloodied hands and heads, or broken
limbs.

Felip Puig, the spokesman for Catalonia's regional Interior Ministry, said
84 protesters and 37 police were injured. Officers were seen hauling
people away, but Puig did not say how many had been arrested and he didn't
say how serious the injuries were.

He did say one protester had a broken arm.

"I can assure you that there was aggression against the police with rocks,
bits of wood, blows, shoves, with violence, with sprays," Puig said.

He said police had fired six rubber bullets, 12 unspecified "projectiles"
and 236 rounds of blank warning shots.

The protesters were allowed to return to the plaza, which has been
occupied by protesters for nearly two weeks, after it was cleaned.

Puig justified the authorities' action by saying the plaza had to be
cleaned because soccer fans will gather there Saturday night after the
Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United in London.

Scuffles also broke out between authorities and protesters in the city of
Lleida, west of Barcelona. Two people were arrested, according to the
Europa Press news agency.

United behind the slogan "Real Democracy Now," tens of thousands of mostly
young people have set up around-the-clock protest camps in cities and town
across Spain since May 15 to complain about the government's handling of
the economic crisis and what they see as a corrupted political party
system.

Nearly two years of recession have left Spain with a 21.3-percent
unemployment rate, the highest in the eurozone, and major debt problems.
The rate jumps to 35 percent for people aged 16 to 29, and many young and
highly educated Spaniards can't find jobs as the eurozone's No. 4 economy
struggles.

The biggest protest has been in Madrid's Puerta del Sol square, where tens
of thousands of people held nightly protests for nearly a week before
regional elections last weekend. On Friday, about 500 people were still
camping in the plaza, but they indicated they might move on within several
days.

Riot police have monitored the Madrid protesters, but have not intervened.
Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said Friday he was reviewing a
request by Madrid's regional government to dismantle the city's protest
zone because of complaints by merchants that business is suffering in the
key tourist area.

Patricia Heras kills herself after being sent to prison for a crime she did not commit

Background [see also correction at bottom]: there was some noisy party in some apartment in Barcelona, in the confuse events that followed an agent was hit by a potted plant thrown from a balcony causing him severe injuries that left him paraplegic.

Strangely the municipal police, instead of investigating properly and
persecuting whoever threw the pot, decided to blame this on the squatter
movement. First they decided that the apartment in question was
"related" somehow to the squatter movement, something these deny, then
they changed the story of the potted plant for a stone, finally they
accused this girl, Patricia Heras, of throwing not the stone but a
mobile fence in the course of the confusing struggle.
She always denied it. She denied being there at all, she claimed to be
a politically motivated scapegoat.    She also denounced, like most
others arrested in this confusing episode of likely political revenge,
tortures while in detention.    She was sentenced to three years of
prison. Being a free spirit, she could not put up with it and she killed
herself before going to jail again.


There are many ways to kill:
they can stab you,
they can take your bread,
they can not cure your illness,
they can push you to suicide... (Bertolt Brecht)

Correction: the original fight happened in a massive party in a squatted
building where some 1500 people were attending. The arrested seem to
have been randomly repressed among passers by, people getting out from
the party and visitors at a hospital.

Importantly, the original police report that attributed the injuries of
the agent to a potted plant has mysteriously vanished.
