solidarity 9.1
On the September 1st a court hearing will take place to decide about the extradition towards germany of an anarchist, who is charged with bank robbery by the prosecution on Aachen. She has already been arrested for this case in July 2015, and served 5 months under a preventive investigative regime, but was released, free of all charges in December 2015. The cassatie court has however decided to confirm the charges and take her to court.
International collaboration between judicial and police departments is nothing new, and in this case, as in many other cases, is used by the States as a political tool to reinforce repression and reaffirm the respect for each other’s national sovereignty, control and power.
Whatever the outcome of this case, the logics of the State and the courts are nothing that belong to anyone who in this world seeks freedom and autonomy. The concept of justice that this world imposes on the poor, on the rebels, on the undesirable, on the unproductive, on those who pursue freedom on their own terms, is just a tool to maintain the armed order and peace of the markets. This is a justice that aims to punish anyone who through ideas or deeds challenges the robbing, the pillaging, the massacring, the manipulation that State and Capital are ravaging this world with.
Whether the comrade accused is innocent or guilty, is of no importance to us. Because we simply do not submit to the morals of authority and the world it wants to keep in place.
An attack on anyone who refuses the State’s coercion and control, is an attack on everyone who on their own path and by their own means is struggling for freedom.
We send strength and courage to the comrade facing repression in Aachen.

backside:
[spoken word, Chocking Victim, Money]
In every single bank robbery,
That in every single case practically,
the cost of the police was more then the actual money
that the robbers took from the bank.
Does that mean, oh you see?
Of course it’s an economic,
of course they’re defending the banks.
Of course, because if they didn’t stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost,
This could jeopardize the entire banking system.
You see, there are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime.
And that’s not true, the function of the police is social control,
and protection of property.
