24.6._Wiederbesetzung_Hambacher_Forst-c-Pay_Numrich-5

[English below]

Onze kameraad Basti wordt sinds 30 oktober vastgehouden! Hij werd gearresteerd tijdens de ontruiming van een deel van de Hambach bosbezetting in Duitsland. Voordat hij werd gearresteerd werd hij door de RWE beveiliging geslagen. Hij wordt nu beschuldigd van het plegen van een gevaarlijke aanval. Er is nog geen datum voor de rechtszaak.

Het verzet in het Hambach bos is gericht tegen de winning van bruinkool en tegen de vernietiging van de natuur en het klimaat in het algemeen, alsmede de bestrijding van het kapitalistische systeem en zijn logica.

[German prisons] Thomas Meyer-Falk’s contribution to the 2014 Anti-Prison Days in Vienna

Posted on by

antiknastMany of us are spontaneously and long ago aware of it: prisons are places of ethical, humane, moral and cultural decay. No desire for life, freedom, humaneness is conveyed there, but instead, the guards and any other staff treat the detainees as dead objects; they manage people as cargo in a storehouse.

So prisons are necrophiliac places.

It was only a few weeks ago that one prison inmate – who was kept in solitary confinement for a couple of years, after he broke a guard’s nose with a headbutt in 2012 – was starved to death in Germany. Koala Rosmane was only 33 years old; he came from Burkina Faso, where he had been forcibly recruited as a child soldier. Continue reading →

Solidarity with comrade A.StamboulosMedia 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.

dafkobane1De 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).

Terreinbezetting tegen geplande gevangenis (Haren, bij Brussel, België)

Posted on by

indexVia: 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 →
