Call for an International Solidarity Campaign for Marco Camenisch

undefinedCall for an International Solidarity Campaign for Marco Camenisch

marco camenisch, known for his active role in the anti-nuclear movement during the seventies, has been a political prisoner for almost 20 years. as a militant green anarchist he has been taking part in struggles, campaigns and protests in and outside prison during all these years. He is currently  detained in the penitentiary pöschwies/regensdorf near zurich.

in two years comes the case of his conditional release that should basically be granted since in the swiss prison system, conditional release is the rule.however marcos situation is a particular one. all special privileges and preparatory measures for release are refused. the medical treatment he needs because of his cancerous disease continues to be insufficient. the furlough usually granted is refused on the grounds that he does not renounce his political convictions and has to many friends all over the world who might help him escape. yet having good social contacts is a criterion for conditional release – one out of many criteria which marco would fulfill.

the juridical authorities give the strong impression that conditional release is only granted for broken and/or conformist prisoners. this tendency can be observed with nearly all political prisoners in metropolises. prisoners defending their political identity are buried alive in prison although they have served their sentence already – with the intention to weaken them and the progressive movements they come from and to keep up the fear of prison as a weapon of those in power. some examples among many are the situation of leonard peltier in the usa, the one of the prisoners from action directe in france or of the basque prisoners in the spanish state.

together with the international red aid, we therefore call for an international solidarity campaign for marco camenisch coordinating with struggles for the release of long-standing prisoners in other countries. meanwhile we do not want to lose the prospect of a society without prisons. that is why we set the start of the campaign for june 19 which is the international day of action for antagonist prisoners and against prisons.

sign the call of the international red aid, spread this information via your websites and other channels. join the campaign adding your own focal points. Take part in the international day of action on september 18 2010.

solidarity is a weapon!

Solidarity Poster for Polykarpos Georgiadis and Vaggelis Chrisohoidis (greece)



POSTER SAYS:
did anyone speak of a
KIDNAPPING?
“…A handful of capitalists
have organized a criminal gang
and have kidnapped the proletarians,
demanding for ransom
their labor force,
merchandising their human activity,
their time (which is turned into money),
their own being itself…”
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
to vaggelis Chrisohoidis and Polykarpos Georgiadis
who the persecuting authorities, exactly because they denied to betray values and people,
accuse them as participators in the kidnapping of industrialist Milonas
anarchists from Serres from north-greece


Anarchists solidarity protest outside Korydallos prison, the main prison in Athens, at the time of the change of the year. This protest happens every New Year's Eve for the past six years. This year more than 400 people took part in the protest that interacted with the prisoners inside through shouting mutual slogans and fireworks. The main slogan was "The passion for freedom is stronger that your prisons".

FIRE TO ALL PRISONS

A society that punishes/the condition of incarceration/the prison of the mind/the prison as punishment/the rage of the damned will sound on the ruins of prisons/those denying obedience and misery of our era even within its hellholes/will dance together on the ruins of every last prison/with the flame of rebellion avenging whatever creates prisons.

To the prisoners struggle already counting one dead and thousands in hunger strike across greece, we stand in solidarity and anger until the destruction of every last prison.


ARSON AND WILDFIRE FOR EVERY PRISON
