Dear comrades
On the occasion of the European Summit, celebrated in the Spanish State due to the rotating presidency of the EU, an anticapitalist and antiauthoritarian group has decided not to remain silent in view of the provocations the power in charge of the world crisis has implemented. We are ready to denounce the hypocrisy and the falsity of those who govern and to make hear the voice of the oppressed ones by any means necessary.
During this June, leaders of different countries will come to Barcelona, among them members of the European Union or other states, such as Israel and Egypt, in order to treat topics like immigration, energy, trading, social control, tourism… This set of meetings does not have any other goal than to consolidate their power and manage the economic crisis inherent in the capitalist system to support the social peace.
From this anticapitalist group, we would like to make an international call so everybody who has the chance could come to Barcelona between May, the 29th and June, the 7th in order to fight the established powers and break the silence of the social peace.
During these days, it has been organized a set of acts, mobilizations and talks which make an anti-summit days, reflecting on immigration, social control, etc, topics appeared in the official summit but the other way round, dealing with the autonomous, libertarian and combative point of view. From this group we invite all comrades to join the efforts and organize themselves against the established system.
Salute and keep on fighting!

Benvolgudes companyes
Amb motiu de la Cimera Europea per la Unió de la Mediterrània que se celebrarà a l’Estat espanyol per la presidència de torn del govern de Zapatero, un col·lectiu anticapitalista i antiautoritari ha decidit no quedar-se callat davant les provocacions del poder culpable de la crisi mundial i està disposat a denunciar la hipocresia i la falsedat dels que manen i a fer sentir la veu dels oprimits pels mitjans que calguin.
Durant el mes de juny, acudiran a Barcelona els caps d’estat de diferents països entre ells els membres de la Unió Europea o altres Estats com Israel i Egipte per tractar temes com immigració, energies, comerç, control social, turisme… Aquest seguit de reunions no tenen altre objectiu que consolidar el seu poder i gestionar la crisi econòmica inherent al sistema capitalista per mantenir la pau social.
Des d’aquest col·lectiu anticapitalista fem una crida internacional per tal que tothom qui pugui vingui a Barcelona entre els dies 29 de maig i 7 de juny per combatre els poders establerts i trencar el silenci de la pau social.
A Barcelona durant aquells dies s’han organitzat un seguit d’actes, mobilitzacions i xerrades que conformaran una contra cimera en que es tractaran els mateixos temes que a la cimera “oficial” però des del punt de vista autònom, llibertari, combatiu. Des del col·lectiu convidem a totes les companyes a unir forces i autoorganitzar-se contra el sistema establert.
Salut i que la lluita continuï!!!

23/4/ For the
"conspiracy cells of fire" with the only evidence her fingerprints in the Halandri house in Athens. On 23 September 2009 an apartment in the neighbourhood of Halandri is raided by the police, and almost directly afterwards Haris Hatzimikelakis, Panayiotis Massouras, Manos G. and Myrto P. are arrested on the charge of being members of the organization “Conspiracy of Cells of Fire”. The apartment is named by the security police “terrorist haunt”, thus incriminating anyone that had been inside. The first three of the aforementioned are held in pretrial detention, while a series of other arrests and warrants are issued based on ridiculous and baseless charges. This story about the apartment in Halandri is like a test-tube; what is being attempted is to incriminate bonds of friendship/ comradeship, to hold radical persons hostages and to act as a constant threat for potential arrests, prosecutions and incarcerations. And today the decision for Kostantina from the state is to keep her inside.... another comrade in the hands of the enemy.....
Freedom to the imprisoned in relation to the case of Halandri
Immediate dropping of charges. Fire to the prisons!

Solidarity Demo at Prison, Milton, Ontario (Canada)
(Posted here)
On Sunday, April 18th, 40-50 Anarchists and their friends held a noise demo in solidarity with prisoners locked up at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex and Vanier Center for Women. This superprison is located 30 minutes west of Toronto. As the march began, the front sign into the prison was spray-painted with the slogans “against prison” and “against police.” We walked around the (large) perimeter of the institution with banners, yelling fierce chants, lighting fireworks and banging on drums. The prisoners mirrored our excitement with powerful rhythmic banging, yelling and cheering. This enthusiastic response was felt deep in our crew. We were inspired to see the immediate and tangible result of our solidarity. The cops and screws were certainly not pleased with our presence there (and we certainly are never pleased with their presence anywhere). Despite the cops’ intentions, no arrests were made. On the way out we cut through the parking lot to distribute flyers.
Here is the speech that was read through a megaphone twice – once next to Vanier, and again near the maximum security wing of Maplehurst:
“There are about 1900 people locked inside this provincial superprison. Over 2/3 of whom are awaiting trial and haven’t even been convicted of a crime.
“The reason I’m here today is to express solidarity with prisoners locked behind these walls, and all prisoners fighting for freedom. I want the people inside Maplehurst and Vanier to know that they are not alone; that we are thinking of them out here, and we desire to destroy these cages with them. With all its violence and cruelty, repression and isolation, surveillance and harassment, prison is a daily reality that can’t be ignored or tolerated.
“Ultimately, the reason I’m standing here is because I want freedom. Not just this shitty excuse for ‘freedom’ we are offered on the ‘outside’ as long as we stay confined within the realm of acceptable behavior. I want a lot more than that. I want freedom from rape culture and patriarchy, police repression and court battles. I want freedom from borders and deportations, colonization and racism, and freedom from the State constantly dictating my choices.
“We can gain strength to fight for a world that we want to see, and challenge each other to create it. The dim reality that is this fucked up world can be confronted, as the function of prison can be weakened by our solidarity.
“I want to express solidarity with Giannis Dimitrakis, a bank robber and anarchist revolutionary from Greece who has an appeal to his 35 year sentence coming up on April 28. I also want to express solidarity with comrades in Vancouver facing repression and charges for the resistance during the Olympics. This is for all our comrades in Greece and everywhere who are rising up real fierce to tear down the prison-world. Across borders and oceans we can inspire each other and share struggle.
“There are no ‘humane’ forms of incarceration and punishment. Because the one thing the state can never give us is our freedom. This we will always have to take for ourselves.
“THE PASSION FOR FREEDOM IS STRONGER THAN THEIR PRISONS!”
Here are some chants to share:
“In Every City, In Every Town, Burn Their Prisons To The Ground!”
“They Can Take Our Lives Away, But Not Our Dignity! Our Hearts Will Pound Against The Walls, Until We Are All Free!”
“Prisoners Everywhere, Solidarity and Love! Against The Violence of Capital, Our Struggle Is One!”
“Maplehurst and Everywhere, Fire To The Prisons!”
“Milton To Greece, Fuck The Police!”

Solidarity with Milan
April 12th, Dijon: arson of three vans of the Red Cross
„In Dijon on April 12th, three vans of the Red Cross caught fire and a wall has been decorated with “ manages and makes profit of ghettos for poor“.
Because localy and internationaly the Red Cross carries out the same rotten role, concerning the management of the poor populations. Humanitarian help, this „big market“ of specialists who construct their prestige and money with it, have beeter to keep their space, preventing if it’s needed the concerned people from helping directly each other.
Their tools of (re)pression couldn‘t stop the revoltees ( ‚antiterrorist‘ investigation about the solidarity actions for the prisoners of the prisons for migrants, in Paris, Turin, or any prison…). Indeed, one of the italian rentention center (CIE), managed by the Red Cross has mainly burnt on March 29th. In the CIE of Milan, other prisoners started a hunger/smoke strike to show their solidarity.
No social misery nor co-managers! Let’s feed ourselves with what they deign to drop, and muffle them with their crumbs.
Solidarity with all the revoltees,imprisonned, free and/or hounded by the cops.
Nice escape to the escapees!“

Indonesia: Land dispute turns into urban warfare in North Jakarta, 3 dead and 150 injured
Jakarta – At least three people dead and 150 wounded. That is the toll from clashes yesterday in North Jakarta. Thousands of residents turned to urban warfare against 2 thousand public officials, backed by the police. The violence was unleashed by a dispute over land in sub-Koja district, near the port of Tanjung Priok. Rumors that officials demolished the tomb of a famous 18th century Islamic preacher also contributed to exacerbate the Muslims.
Overnight Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono called a press conference at the palace, calling on citizens to remain calm. “I am very sorry – said the head of state – for the violence that occurred in North Jakarta”. The President has ordered the governor of the capital, Fauzi Bowo to initiate detailed investigations on the matter. Meanwhile, one thousand police officers are guarding the city hall in central Jakarta, in an area not far from the offices of Vice-President of Indonesia and the U.S. embassy.
The origin of the clashes is a dispute over a plot of land – 20 square meters wide – near the busiest port in the country: the Tanjung Priok Export-Import, north of the capital. The area is in the sights of PT Pelindo, a company which runs the airport that aims to take over the property to build a road and rail link to the port. Injunctions by public officials to demolish illegal houses were met by a residents protest complete with machetes, sticks, swords and small arms.
Meanwhile, the ethnic Chinese community – the victim of a harsh attack in 1998, costing thousands of lives and destroying millions of business – is on alert for fear of further violence. The commercial heart of the capital is in fact only three kilometers from the area where the clashes occurred. Yesterday, demonstrators blocked vehicles and forced drivers to show identity cards, looking for plainclothes police officers or public officials.
The local Muslims ire has been further exacerbated by a rumour that officials – known by the nickname Satpol PP – demolished the tomb of Habib Hasan bin Muhammad Al Hadad, a famous 18th century Muslim preacher, the protagonist of the spread of Islam in Java.
Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo immediately intervened in an attempt to calm the waters, stressing that the administration has no intention of infringing on the place of worship sacred to all Muslims of North Jakarta. President Yudhoyono finally ordered the immediate cancellation of the plan to demolish of homes in the disputed zone.
Jakarta Police refuse to respond on clash containment failure accusation
Jakarta Police spokesman said Saturday that the institution would further evaluate Wednesday’s deadly clash in North Jakarta, refusing to respond on accusation that the police had failed to help contain the conflict.
“We have to look first; what caused [the clash]; who was responsible,” Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar, the spokesman, said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
The riot in Koja, North Jakarta, claimed the lives of three public order officers and injured at least 128 people. The clash erupted as the public order officers attempted to seize an Islamic leader memorial complex.
Earlier on Saturday, Hotman Sinambela, a top official at the Public Order Agency accused that the police had left his subordinates as clash broke out, leaving public order officers to their own devices.
Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo had suspended Public Order Agency head Harianto Badjoeri.
The clash was triggered by a land dispute between state-owned port operator PT Pelindo II and the self-proclaimed heirs of revered Muslim figure, Arif Billah Hasan bin Muhammad Al Hadad, whose tomb used to be located at the memorial complex on the land.

FREEDOM FOR ALL IN GREECE AND EVERYWHERE!! international solidarity !!
Last Tuesday, March 23rd, a few hundred flyers were handed out at the entrance, inside and around the Commercial and Economic Section of the Greek Embassy in Lisbon.
The text of the flyer:
« Freedom for all, in Greece and everywhere.
It’s true, the situation in Portugal is the same as in Greece. Populations living in poverty, on a daily misery in which we feel life turning into survival, at the same time that bosses and banks rob us of each moment and each place that used to be ours. Police, courts and prisons for those who dare to confront that misery and, increasingly, even for those who do not confront it at all. People that with a disgusting regularity are persecuted, beaten or murdered with shots by the police, because we all are a potential threat, no more no less, because the State has the authority and the weapons and the fear of revolt. Prisons that efficiently do their job: to eliminate dignity, to serve as a warehouse of undesirables, to give the example, to execute rebelliousness. To execute, plain and simply.
But in Portugal, as in Greece, as everywhere, there are those who do not stay still in the face of this system of exploitation, of oppression, of the elimination of everything that still breaths freely. There are those who put despair and resignation away, and grab life with nails and teeth, going for the attack.
Christos Stratigopoulos and Alfredo Maria Bonanno are only two of those individuals, arrested on October 2009, following a bank robbery in Trikala, Greece. Regardless of the crimes they are being charged with, the struggle for freedom is the crime they’ve always committed.
We want to denounce, in particular, the abusive detention of Alfredo M. Bonanno under unacceptable conditions in the prison of Koridallos (Athens), worsened even more with the attempt to frame him up with another bank robbery on July 2009. The politics of vengeance of the State has the aim of eliminating physically and psychologically this comrade of 73 years old who faces serious health problems. Alfredo Bonanno is an anarchist, involved in the movement since decades ago, active in the resistance against the dictatorship of the Greek colonels (1967-1974), and writer and editor of many anarchist texts. These are the true reasons for which they keep him in prison under conditions that endanger his life.
We demand the immediate release of Alfredo Maria Bonanno.
For the destruction of all prisons.
International solidarity initiative to Alfredo M. Bonanno and Christos Stratigopoulos »
On the same day a banner with the words “Against the Greek State and all prisons / Freedom for Bonanno and Christos” was hung on the Alameda fountain, in Lisbon.

Vandals spray paint Rio's Christ statue
17/4
Vandals covered the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro with spray-painted graffiti, marring the monument in an act Rio’s mayor called a “crime against the nation.”
The vandals covered the head, arms and chest of the 130-foot statue, which sits atop the 2,300-foot Corcovado mountain, using scaffolding that had been erected to carry out maintenance work. Phrases scrawled on the statue included
“When the cat’s away, the rats will play,” as well as what appeared to be references to Rio residents who were killed or who disappeared in recent crimes, the newspaper O Globo reported

Greek-style unrest for the UK?
BRITAIN will be hit by waves of "Greek-style unrest" if a Tory or Labour government narrowly wins the election and then tries to push through draconian spending cuts, Nick Clegg has warned.In an interview with the Observer, the Liberal Democrat leader says he fears "serious social strife" would break out on the streets if a government with limited support at the election on 6 May then raised taxes, laid off public-sector workers and froze wages.
"Imagine the Conservatives go home and get an absolute majority, on 25% of the eligible votes," Clegg said. "They then turn around in the next week or two and say we're going to chuck up VAT to 20%, we're going to start cutting teachers, cutting police and the wage bill in the public sector. I think if you're not careful in that situation… you'd get Greek-style unrest. And so my warning to people who think the old politics still works, is be careful for what you wish for."In his own constituency city of Sheffield, where there are no Conservative MPs or councillors, and a high proportion of public-sector workers, he fears a ferocious backlash against potential Tory cuts.
"Suddenly these people will be told by a government that has no legitimacy [in the area] in their eyes that this government is going to slash and burn, having promised them something else."
Clegg's fears may have been prompted by the 20th anniversary celebrations of the 1990 Poll Tax riots across the UK (see photo), which spelled the end for his heroine Margaret Thatcher.Recalled anarchist group Class War earlier this year: "A vast number of confrontations between the people, and the police and government took place all around the UK, building momentum towards the large demonstration planned.
"Class War came to prominence because of the riot in Trafalgar Square. The 1990 uprisings against the Poll Tax seared like wildfire outside every council chamber and Shire Hall culminating in that glorious carnival of insurrection at Trafalgar Square when 10000 riotous working class heroes were cheered on by another 300000 as they torched buildings, fought cops with scaffolding poles and brought the reality of class war to the cosseted rich of the City and West End.
"This was no drunken mob, this was MASS CLASS WAR. As the filth forced Trafalgar Square clear, the mobs went in different directions. East to the plush arcades of Covent Garden, North to the expensive shopping areas of Regent Street, West to Leicester Square. All with the same motive, to show the rich scum exactly what we think of them and what they can expect more of in the future."
Chile - young punk killed by carabineros
Monday, 12 April 2010
from informa-azione / diyfusionxanarcopunk.entodaspartes.net
Monday 5 April, in the Nueva Braunau locality about 10 kilometres from Puerto Varas the carabineros surprised -at 2 in the morning - 3 young people who were drinking outside their home. The cops went up to them and told them they were going to arrest them. An argument broke out between the young people and the carabinero. The sister of the victim affirmed: "during the discussion a carabinero threatened to kill my brother and he replied "kill me" , not thinking that he would shoot. Instead the carabinero fired a shot at him."
"Pepo", the victim, was shot at close range , less than one metre and fell to the ground. The carabineros did not help the victim and the ambulance arrived after 25 minutes. The ambulance of the police in the area did not intervene.
The young punk died after arriving at the hospital. The two young people accompanying him were taken to the police station.

An incredible fiasco became the company of police andantiteroristcops of local and foreign services.
A few hours ago announced cuts in wages and mass layoffs new public and private sector from the IMF, the
cops GREECE and americans bastards with their bosses, trying to set up another political plot by militants. Compared with past
political machinations - this fiasco are different.
First to sign the Poulain murderers of the American embassy, and the great Chrysochoidis. Also for the first time in prison will
be blunt (is expected) people because their computers in their libraries were dissidents texts. For the first time in many years
to criminalize political discourse rather than an abstract of the current systemic culture of criminalization, but there will be a
real episode in real life.
The charges against the detainees is that the hard drives of texts found in the police attributed to political organizations of
armed violence. But the political organizations of armed violence is not mentioned in nefelim and Elohim, but in political issues
concerning the operation of the order of few against the many. Only organizations are political texts with references to political
issues of all. It is the first time that the political discourse while not accompanied by a "criminal act" sufficient to prison
someone. The texts were found (according to the official announcement) in the possession of arrested persons are not attached
to a hit but "highly likely" that the amerikanotsoliades a blueprint for future attacks. .
Previously another bright luminary of the American Embassy, who served with loyalty and dedication the appropriate Ministry
of Chrysochoidis, put other ingredients in such cases for example, a little hash, a little gun ownership, a wig, a fingerprint, a
kettle, a frying pan, a vre something the brother to tie scenario, and had seen three or four American films, they were not
"illiterate" like this one here ..
From the first moment of operation of the cretin and police departments, and MMEmazi regime 'in the journalistic army. The
news of the company channeled first through administrative channels to the media after cops assumed by the news of the
arrest sent through administrative all media, from television of Vardilogianni, etc. Bobolas up the web of "honest journalists"
who were preparing the titles pychaious success .
In the end, rather than guns, dynamite, masks, etc., were found to count pages from political manifestos and television media
were putting Ms. puts screens up bottles for cleaning lenses known company that had become completely black from the ink
for fingerprints.
The size is huge fiasco is exactly proportional to the image have COPS both political radical spaces (anarchist-independent
elected, etc.) for years in a permanent attacking institutions and mechanisms, no one can hold this social- political piece to
something more "visible" and thus more controllable. 'Osokai for groups of armed force to attack at a time when both the left
and the other power forces can not defend anything, having completely killed ..
That are commonly cops deep midnight, can not understand the processes contributing to things. .
As part dakrygono and of our great offer to the public consultation of public affairs, we hope to the cops and the other
americans bastards good reading of hard disks, books, magazines and newspapers picked up on this wonderful business and to
supplement the first opportunity to let go at any bookstore to find even more .. ....
