Since a few days, the anarchist comrade imprisoned in Soto del Real since the 13th of April has been the target of various abuses by the prison direction. Under the pretext of “security reasons” she has not only been denied the possibility of having vis-a-vis communication with her partner on the day of her wedding, but she has also been prohibited from having any telephone contact with her partner and one other person. Moreover, the assistant director of the prison has imposed on her different types of disciplinary measures for – according to him – “inciting mutiny” among the other prisoners in the isolation ward, and another measure as punishment for talking to other prisoners during the night.
We understand that all these punishments are retaliations for the comrade’s combative attitude and her solidarity; despite the distance and isolation she has continued to be determined in participating in the fights on the street, sending a message of support to the Banc Expropriat in Gràcia, and a card in which she reaffirmed her convictions and political practices of struggle against the State and the capitalist system.
From the point of view of us who are on the streets, all these attempts to silence and isolate her could only be thrown back through a multiplication of the manifestations of solidarity and efforts to diffuse and spread her words for which they want to punish her even more. Let’s also not forget that soon the deadline for her stay in the Soto del Real prison in Madrid will come to an end and it is expected that she will be extradited to Germany on June 30.
Let’s not permit they silence the voice of imprisoned fighters!
Let’s break the circle in which they try to isolate our comrades!
Spread the word! Take to the streets! Participate in the call-outs! Act!
