Lecce, Italy – Benefit for the prisoners of ‘Operation Ardire.’
Translation act for freedom now/B.pd
Friday May 24, Anarchist Circle, Via Massaglia 62/b Lecce
8pm: exhibition and audio contribution on Marco Camenish, radical ecologist imprisoned in Switzerland.
9pm: benefit dinner
10:30pm: anarchist and struggle tunes – guitar and vocals by Andy Cat.
On June 13 2012 ten anarchists are delivered an ordinance of remand in custody, following the usual charge of conspiracy with purposes of subversion of the democratic order.
Currently, almost of all them are still under arrest in prison or at home. To isolate and imprison is an attempt by the State at striking the rebels of this society so that they don’t act as a spark in a world lying on a powder keg. To break this isolation can be a way for that spark to remain always alive in spite of repression.
Our solidarity goes to Marco, Gabriel, Stefano, Sergio, Alessandro, Giuseppe, Elisa, Katia, Giulia, Paola.
We are all prisoners because a society that needs prison, a society that needs to lock up and exclude, is a prison itself. But they joy of the dream of freedom from the bosses and their jails, the joy of solidarity in the struggle, cannot ever be imprisoned.’
Marco Camenish

Naples, Italy – Fascist attack and theft of plasterboards of the exhibition on Marco Camenish
From RadioAzione
Translation act for freedom now/B.pd
Naples, 14th May. While heading to the Libertarian Studies Centre ‘Louise Michel’, one of the young occupants of the Occupied Canteen of the faculty of Literature and Philosophy is attacked. The aggressors are very well-known fascists who’ve been around in Naples for at least 30 years: so called ‘mazzieri’ [mace-bearers, TN] of the 1970s. The theft of the plasterboards of the exhibition on Marco Camenish and nuclear power followed the attack. The plasterboards had been taken to Naples in February, where an initiative had been organized at the Occupied Canteen in solidarity with Marco Camenish.
RadioAzione express solidarity with the assaulted young man. As for the well-known fascists the message is clear: Piazza Nicola Amore is famous in Naples for something much more beautiful than your premises…. Be aware of your skulls!

The book “Mauricio Morales Presente” by Black International publications. – greece
No experience can be summarized with a bit of ink and paper.
Even less the experience of someone who decided to provoke the authoritarians with every possible
way and any place. There are no pages which can effectively illustrate someone who died while
fighting against authority. Inside these pages therefore, is not the whole of Mauri’s life.
We do not condense all of his experiences and the moments our paths met.
We honestly desire that this is not the last collection of his writings.
We are not owners of his thoughts, the events he experienced or his analyses.
We hope that more material related to him will come to light, not as a fetish,
not as a day on the calendar, but probably as a memory longing its moment.

REMEMBERING “PUNKY MAURI” 4 years after his death in the struggle.
‘For when freedom, love and anarchy beat in unison in the heart, anarchy doesn’t die in the mouth but lives in active hands.’
Punky Mauri
Mauri, you’re present in every attack in the social war. You are present
in every attempt to destroy this society and in every beautiful act of prisoner
solidarity….
We won’t and don’t want to forget you.
Your memory pertains to the incandescent revolt and to us who hold
fire in our hearts and hands.

A talk between the imprisoned members of the CONSPIRACY OF THE CELLS OF FIRE and a few anarchists in Mexico on tactics, theory and practice.

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN ANARCHISTS
What follows is a conversation between the imprisoned members
of the CCF and a number of anarchists from Mexico. The
questions are asked by various comrades of the country, not
only by those of the editorial group Cospiracion Acrata. We
thank the comrades who helped us with the huge job of translation
from Greek into Spanish, and the comrades who helped
us in making the conversation with the imprisoned comrades
possible. Solidarity greetings to all of them and to our comrades
of the CCF!
This dialogue came out for the first time in May 2012, in
Spanish, in the Mexican anarchist magazine Conspiración
Ácrata.

INFORMATION BY REMANDED ANARCHIST COMRADE CONCERNING THE CASE OF THE ARRESTS IN NEA FILADELFIA, ATHENS ON 30/4/13
Translated by Actforfredomnow/boubourAs
On 30/4 around 3pm in the area of Nea Filadelfia I am arrested and summarily transferred to the 12th floor (anti-terrorist office) of GADA (police hq), together with four comrades.
There began the known procedures (dna/fingerprints), without any approval of ours, this known as well.
Late at night the announce to me that I am charged with harbouring a fugitive, resisting arrest and false testimony.
The next morning, they announce to me that upon these charges is added also that of criminal organization intending to carry out robberies, without however there being a specific robbery this alleged organization is charged of. Also, along with the above indictment they inform me that I, personally, am accused of a bank robbery in Filota Florina as well as one more robbery in Pirgetos Larissa, based on some kind of dna identification, without giving me the identification report.
From there on, because the case of the Filota robbery is in the hands of special appeals interrogator Nikopoulos,
because of an alleged revolutionary fund, my charges are enriched with those of participation in a terrorist organization and more specifically the Conspiracy Cells of Fire. At this point I want to clarify that I denied the charges attributed to me, and I was never part of the CCF.
As an anarchist stand, revolutionary, in solidarity to the action and contribution of the CCF, as well as the anarchist revolutionaries who have taken the political responsibility for the organization and its action,
as well as the anarchists who have been accused over time, for the same organization, denying however their participation. Finally, making a short look back in the recent past, we can easily observe that dozens of anarchist comrades have been accused
of participation in the revolutionary organization CCF, denying however,
their participation while the members do the same, (because of political disagreements from both sides -always at the level of co-complementarity of the anarchist movement and not the rupture between us- ).
first of all because it suits the legal system, in order to burden anarchist comrades more,
giving an aroma of “terrorism” to each case and secondly because it best serves the state mechanism,
when every “violent” action is homogenized under the umbrella of the CCF, (a very specific revolutionary organization,
with dynamic action inside and outside the walls) in order to not have a possibility of self-definition of each anarchist
and revelation of the multiform dialectic and imperatives inside the anarchist movement.
NOTHING IS OVER,
EVERYTHING CONTINUES
SOLIDARITY TO ALL ANARCHIST FIGHTERS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE WALLS

LETTER FROM ANARCHISTS ARGIRIS DALIOS AND FIVOS HARISIS FROM KORIDALLOS PRISONS-ATHENS
Translated by Actforfreedomnow/boubourAs
A BANNER WAS PUT UP WHICH READ: STRENGTH TO THE 4 ANARCHISTS F.HARISIS, G.NAXAKIS, A.DALIOS, G.SARAFOUDIS FOR OUR COMRADES WHO WERE ARRESTED ON 30/4/13 IN NEA FILADELFIA IN ATHENS.
“To you who at night you go to bed desperate from the futility of the struggle, from the oppression which ‘steals’ the comrades from us, the squats, which wipes out anything that stands in front of it. Get dressed, take with you a decision and fight. Let history write of those who fought till the end, till the last revolutionaries become dust in the passage of updated technological oppression. Let the whore of a history write about the enraged cries of the People before their executions. Yes, to you who at night counts the stars and you heart beats fast, faster, even more faster awaiting the dawn for the continuation of the attempt and the struggle… ALL OR NOTHING”
That afternoon in the area of Nea Filadelfia ended the beautiful journey of freedom which we had begun after the official announcement of our illegality. Time froze, minutes were also set under surveillance and the sky hid from the hoods of our persecutors. We fell into their hands, the bitter feel of defeat which entails a captivity will hunt us behind the walls as well as long as the memories of our free life will come alive in our minds. Our journey of illegality, struggle and freedom in no way began in mid February -when our arrest warrants were published- neither ended with our hands cuffed behind our backs in unmarked cop cars.
All these years we decided to take a battle position in the anarchist struggle we experienced valuable moments of conflict, violence, discussions, attempts, casualties. But above all the smile left on our face by the feeling that we accomplished something, the minimal pebble we put with our comrades for the structuring of a true and unenslaved life.

CCF trial update,Session 46, 47. – Athens
Translated by Actforfreedomnow/boubourAs

CCF trial update
Session 46.
In this session appeared two prosecution witnesses who were employees at a courier company.
The first witness who was called mentioned that she does not know any of the accused, despite the fact that in her initial testimony she had identified them. The chairwoman of the court asked her if fear is the reason that today she does not recognize anyone.
At this point we would like to remind that during the additional testimonies of the prosecution witnesses which took place before the trial for the identifying (snitching), many witnesses recalled their initial testimonies according to which they recognized some of the accused. Back then the prosecutor asked in writing that the recalls of the witnesses in which they did not identify anyone to be invalided, since as she noted “the witnesses recall their initial testimonies since they are under a regime of fear and terror by the accused themselves”.
As she had added “a witness, Reklitou, had received a threatening letter with bullets from a Kalashnikov before she testified”. (This is the witness who had opened the parcel and called the cops resulting in the arrest of two comrades of the CCF. Also, a while ago FAI-Intact Cell of Revenge, had placed an explosive mechanism outside a courier company which belongs to this specific witness, blowing it up). The second witness testified about the checking procedure of parcels. He mentioned that those days, security measures at airports which was the section he works at, were draconian, because of the attacks of the Conspiracy Cells of Fire.

Lisbon, Portugal – Anarchist Book Fair (24th May – 26th May 2013)
Translated from Italian by act for freedom now/B.pd
We are back!
The sixth Anarchist Book Fair will be held from May 24 to May 26 in Lisbon, at the premises of the ‘Amici di Minho’ group, with the objective – renewed every year – of creating an autonomous space open to everyone for the spreading and discussion of anarchist ideas.
Besides the usual presence of bookstalls, this year’s programme includes two talks. The one is focused on the forms, practices and limits of the media sector and the possible alternatives to it. The other one concerns the role played by libraries as a privileged space for gathering, thinking, discussing and sharing.
The Fair wants to stimulate the publication and reading of books and other material on anarchist topics. We continue to believe that anarchy is an alternative to State violence, the arrogance of capital, the ‘progress’ of technology and the devastation caused by servile journalism.

Chile – Updates on anarchist comrades Carla and Ivan
From RadioAzione
Translation act for freedom now/B.pd
The date of the trial against comrades Carla Verdugo and Ivan Silva has been set on June 3 2013. Both comrades are under night house arrest and stand accused of placing an explosive device according to the anti-terrorism law. The prosecution has demanded heavy sentences for the two comrades: five years for Ivan and five years one day for Carla.
This difference is crucial as it aims at preventing Carla from benefiting of any kind of mitigating circumstances. In this way they are trying to criminalizing her love relation with comrade Juan Aliste, who is under arrest following the ‘Security Case’.
We call on comrades to show solidarity as they did in other trials (CCF, Revolutionary Struggle, ‘Bombas Case’ and the trial against comrade Luciano) and to publish updates on the case in the various counter-information sites so as to avoid relying on the bourgeois press to get news on the trial against the comrades.
Solidarity with the comrades on trial!
Stop the anti-terrorism law!
Ivan and Carla free!
More information on the trial against Carla and Ivan here.

Trial statement of Polykarpos Georgiadis – Greece
Translated -Matthew (TIOJ)
In August 2008, Thessaloniki anarchists Vangelis Chrysochoidis and Polykarpos Georgiadis were arrested alongside infamous bank robber—and “the most wanted man in Greece” —Vassilis Palaiocostas. The authorities charged them and others with the kidnapping of powerful industrialist Giorgos Mylonas, which took place that summer and ended with Mylonas’ “release” in exchange for a ransom of 5 million euros. Georgiadis has written a number of open letters (here, here, and here), but Chrysochoidis hasn’t because—like Simos Seisidis, for example—he has no interest in doing so and doesn’t really consider himself a “man of letters.”
The trial for the kidnapping began on February 2, 2010 and ended with sentences of 22 years and 3 months in prison for both Chrysochoidis and Georgiadis, which sentences took into account a number of robberies they were also charged with. A brief summary of the trial can be read (in Spanish) here, while Palaiocostas’ open letter in support of the two comrades is here.

Santiago, Chile – Days in memory of Punky Mauri (anarchist comrade Maurizio Morales)
Translated from Italian by act for freedom now/B.pd
‘For when freedom, love and anarchy beat in unison in the heart, anarchy doesn’t die in the mouth but lives in active hands.’
Punky Mauri
Material Anarchista: We can’t remain indifferent at yet another anniversary, which is approaching. Four years ago on May 22 we saw an unwavering comrade and fighter go away: Mauricio Morales Duarte, Punky Mauri. To forget him would be inconsistent with our principles because to remember the comrades fallen in the struggle is an act of pride, through which we declare war to power when the latter wants to erase our memory. We will never allow them to take our comrades away from us. For no reason will we let power cast our comrades’ revolutionary struggle into oblivion. Therefore we will be there for the memory and honour of comrade Maurizio Morales Duarte.
‘Memory as a weapon is a way to refuse resignation when we are deprived of our comrades and spaces while we look at it as spectators.’
Gabriela Curilem
On the poster:
Days in memory of Punky Mauri until the last bastion of prison society is destroyed.
