Media Terror-Frenzy: Greek counter-terrorism police arrested Antonis Stamboulos on 1 October on charges of belonging to the Revolutionary Organisation – Revolutionary Struggle (Epanastatikos Agonas: EA). The police said that Stamboulos’s arrest was likely to prevent terrorist attacks, probably planned for 1-4 October, on several targets mentioned in a notebook allegedly in Stamboulos’s possession. The targets are alleged to include Vangelis Marinakis (a shipowner and the chairman of the Olympiakos football team), Theodoros Fessas (the president of the Federation of Hellenic Industries) and his Athens-based IT firm InfoQuest, the premises of the ruling New Democracy (Néa Dimokratía: ND) party, as well as Capital (a Greece-registered ship management company), and German engineering company Siemens.

Doneer! Actieve solidariteit voor Kobane!
De solidariteitskas van de Vrije Bond heeft vandaag 500 euro (9-10-2014) overgemaakt naar de anarchistische organisatie D.A.F Devrimci Anar?ist Faaliyet (Revolutionair Anarchistisch Front). Door de loop der jaren zijn er verschillende ontmoetingen geweest tussen Nederlandse anarchisten (en Vrije Bond leden) en mensen van de D.A.F. De ervaring om met hen te spreken en te leren kennen, hebben altijd bijgedragen aan de overtuiging dat de kameraden van de D.A.F. zeer betrouwbaar zijn en zeer toegewijd aan de anarchistische zaak zijn.

Terreinbezetting tegen geplande gevangenis (Haren, bij Brussel, België)
Via: Indymedia
Sinds zo 10 augustus 2014 wordt er in Haren, een ten noorden van Brussel (België) gelegen deelgemeente, een kampement op- en uitgebouwd tegen de bouw een nieuwe megalomane gevangenis, die de Belgische staat daar gepland heeft.
In plaats van het probleem van criminaliteit bij de wortel aan te pakken (armoede, marginaliteit, ingelepeld winstbejag, competitie om hoger op de sociale ladder te komen, …) steekt men diegenen die niet binnen de lijntjes van het systeem passen liever weg in een nieuwe gevangenis. Want pleisters blijven plakken is gemakkelijker dan de wonde genezen. Continue reading
