My mom made me an anarchist. She would cringe reading that, but to me it’s the highest compliment. She truly lets people be who they are and radiates mutual aid and love.

We learn with joy of the release of the anarchist comrade Ivan Alocco! The comrade had been arrested a year ago, on June 11, 2022, by the Sous-Direction Anti-Terroriste (SDAT) of the Central Directorate of Police French for an investigation concerning some arson attacks, which took place in Paris and Montreuil between January and June of the same year, against vehicles of Enedis (dependent on EDF, Électricité de France), of the SFR (Société Française du Radiotéléphone), of the newspaper "Est Républicain", belonging to diplomatic corps and against a luxury car. We also recall that since October Ivan has undertaken two long hunger strikes in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (the first, of 35 days, from October 27 to December 1 and the second, of 32 days, from December 22 to January 23).

From de.indymedia.org (english translation)

The comrade Giannis after an intense struggle where he put his body at a risk of 33 days of hunger strike and 4 days of thirst strike, managed to win what he was entitled to and had been demanding since last year: his conditional release on parole. Something that he had been forced to claim again with a 67-day hunger strike a year before, which he suspended after the verbal promises of the officials that his demand would be satisfied. Something that never happened and as a result, a year later, our comrade continued his struggle.
