Yesterday, on saturday 2nd of July, we made a small gesture of solidarity for our comrades facing the accusation of bank robbery by the court Aachen Germany.

Two banners were hung on the bridge of the Vondelpark in Amsterdam, at the height of Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat. After dropping the banners we through flyers in the air, with messages like: “Destroy all prisons and the world that needs them, Until we all are free” etc.

On the back of the flyer there is the address for the website that talks in detail about the case and about the solidarity around it.

Our comrades will not face repression alone!
For the spreading of active solidarity!

Yesterday the 29th of June, around five p.m, guards of the penitentiary centre Soto del Real visited the cell of the comrade arrested on the 13th of April to inform her of her immediate transfer and to make her pack her things.

This means that the extradition process – normally carried out under a heavy silence toward the outside, without the possibility of warning the person who will be transferred – has already begun, or will begin very late today. This finally puts into effect the European order of arrest and extradition that was sent out from Germany in the beginning of April against our comrade, who is accused of having participated in the expropriation of a department of the Pax Bank in the city of Aachen in 2014.

We know that the comrade will take with her not only the determination and conviction of her political and revolutionary principles, but also all the expressions of solidarity and support that you have showed during this time, reminding her that she is not nor will be alone before a State that persecutes and attacks everyone who rebels against its order of misery.

We want to call out to take to the streets our support of her and all the fighters facing reprisals and remind you that in response to the extradition there will be a manifestation in Manresa tomorrow the first of July at 8 p.m at Plaça Sant Domènec.

We will keep you posted.

WE WANT HER FREE, WE WANT HER CLOSE!

SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE ACCUSED OF HAVING EXPROPRIATED BANKS IN AACHEN!

FREEDOM FOR ALL THE IMPRISONED AND PERSECUTED FIGHTERS!

Last night we carried out actions in solidarity with our comrade who is imprisoned in total isolation in Spain on charges of participation in an expropriation in a bank in Aachen, Germany, two years ago. She is now awaiting extradition to Germany which will probably happen this week.

In solidarity we spray painted the texts ‘freedom for our Spanish comrade’ on a department of the Spanish embassy in The Hague, the Netherlands and glued the locks. In the morning during rush hour a banner was hung above the highway with the text: ‘Burn all prisons! Freedom for our Spanish comrade!’

We are not interested in knowing whether the comrade is actually responsible for the bank robberies or not. Expropriation is an ethically just and politically legitimate practice, a method of struggle that is part of the history of all revolutionary movements.

Indeed, despite the constant attempts by Power to reduce this method to within the scope of a ‘common crime’, motivated by individual greed, the fact is that the expropriation of places of accumulation of capital is a constant in our history: from the anarchist-syndicalist groups in the early twentieth century who robbed banks to support strikes or help the families of imprisoned comrades, to the various autonomous groups of the the 70s and 80s.

We call out to anybody to make action in solidarity with the comrade imprisoned in Madrid! Immediate freedom for the comrade!

Burn all prisons!
In solidarity,

some anarchists

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!!

LAST MINUTE: The Audiencia Nacional has ordened the extradition of the comrade arrested on the 13th of April! Call out for MANIFESTATION!

The sadly famous – because reactionary –judge Ángela Murillo has ordened the extradition to Germany of the comrade imprisoned on the 13th of April, accused of having participated in the expropriation of a bank in the city of Aachen. The extradition could take place any moment within the next 10 days.

As you already know, the comrade was arrested last April during a policial macro-operation in which the social centre Los Blokes Fantasma and two other houses were raided and searched, because of an international order that was sent from Germany. The prosecution office of the city of Aachen ascribes to her the material authorship of a robbery that took place two years ago, of a bank that is connected to the catholic church, where a notable sum of money was taken without causing any personal harm. The prosecution office investigated this action within a supposed series of similar expropriations that happened the year before in this city. Within this investigation an anarchist comrade from Amsterdam has also been imprisoned, who is currently outside awaiting her courtcase after having spent several months in preventive arrest.

Despite having sent a call out for a manifestation on the day following the announcement of the extradition, but because of the struggle for the recuparation of the Expropriated Bank, we have decided to move the mobilisation to the coming week, next Tuesday the 1st of June, at 20h at Placa Diamant. These days of struggle, of resistance, of dignity in front of the brutality with which the police is defending the interests of the speculants, trying to abuse this space that is constructed for the neighbourhood, we feel the imprisoned comrade closer than ever. We know that she would be one more among many defending the Expropriated Bank with every means in the streets of Gracia, where she herself has lived for many years.

We do not know whether the comrade is responsible for the robbery that they ascribe to her, what we do know is that expropriation in the capital of the bank, whether it is in the form of money or buildings, will always be ethically just and politically legitimate. Which is why we send from here a call out to all the fighting people in solidarity of Barcelona and everywhere, to go out into the streets on the coming Tuesday 1st of June, to show that no matter how far they take her, our comrade will never be alone.

Rebellious and international solidarity with the two comrades accused of robbing banks in Germany!

The struggle is the only way!

MANIFESTATION AGAINST THE EXTRADITION!!
TUEDAY 1ST OF JUNE
20H PLACA DEL DIAMANT
( L3 FONTANA)
