Manifestation at Soto del Real prison [Madrid]

Chronicle of the manifestation at the prison of Soto del Real (Madrid), where the comrade arrested on the 13th of April is imprisoned.

Last weekend a group of comrades travelled to the Soto del Real prison in Madrid in order to break the isolation they want to impose on the anarchist that was arrested on the 13th of April, and to show the prison institution that neither she nor any imprisoned fighter is alone in front of the State. The manifestation, although we were not many, was a success; the comrade has told us she could hear the voice and noise of the people, effacing for a moment the silence they went to impose on her surroundings. A brief chronicle of the manifestation:

This Saturday, the 25th of June, some thirty people held a manifestation in front of the Soto del Real prison (Madrid) to show their rejection of imprisonment and of the extradition of the comrade arrested on the 13th of April, accused of the expropriation of a bank in Germany.

They shouted in solidarity with the prisoners and against penitentiary centres, they read a text in solidarity with the comrade and another in which the situation of imprisoned women was explained. At the same time, they lit fireworks, necessary to transgress the walls with noise and thus breaking the imposed distance between those inside and those outside.

During the manifestation some cops of the Guardia Civil appeared who asked for identification of the people present, which they refused. Despite this, the act ended with a repressive strike; the agents of authority stopped every car that headed for the exit, registering the cars and forcing identification.

Let’s not forget that this Thursday 30th of June the comrade will definitely be extradited and put at the disposition of the German authorities. All this, after having received numerous abuses by the direction of the penitentiary centre of Soto del Real, such as denying her the possibility of maintaining vis-a-vis communication with her partner on the day of her wedding or the prohibition concerning telephone contact with her and another person.

Let’s extend the solidary and rebellious expressions.

DOWN WITH THE PRISON WALLS!!
WALLS AND GUARDS, YOU WILL NOT SILENCE OUR PASSION FOR FREEDOM!!
