culmine
Today, Wednesday 15, we met informally, about twenty individuals, to act and show solidarity with our comrades who have been prisoners for four months for the salamander case ("caso bombas").
We met in a main artery of Santiago to make a roadblock. We started at the intersection between Republica and Alameda, and ended up Matucana, where several supermarkets, banks and shops were attacked, destroying the windows. Telepizza motorbikes were used for barricades and the Dogguis was looted and destroyed. Everyday objects were used for barricades. In the case of Fashion Park the window was destroyed and clothes handed out to people waiting for buses.
Although we were only a few comrades, we spent about 20 minutes damaging urban fittings. We erected barricades several times to make it difficult for the police to advance. 3 times they turned up and on the third we left because they were a large contingent (apparently several comrades were stopped).
In Chile, Wallmapu, Argentina, Mexico, Greece and Switzerland, freedom to the prisoners in war
Freedom for the comrades of the caso bombas
For the destruction of the prison society
Mauricio Morales is present!

Cordoba, Argentina! - Police suppress student protest. 20 injured and arrested
cordobacontaminada
16/12/1910 - A pitched battle broke out yesterday afternoon in downtown Cordoba after the PJ and Kirchner in the Legislature approved the controversial provincial Education Act governing the programs for secondary and tertiary. Following the riots about twenty demonstrators and policemen were injured, while some students and leftist activists were arrested.
The main student complaint suggests that "the curriculum will be tailored to business, generating internships to become cheap labor. Furthermore, there is an intrusion of the Church in the State, as they teach religion."
Yesterday during the more than eight hours of debate, began at 11 am and ended at 19.30-there was much tension in the centre of Cordoba. Secondary students, tertiary and university held two marches that converged in the Plaza San Martin, one block from the Legislature.
Since Tuesday, a small group of university students began a hunger strike to protest the approval of the controversial law.
Minutes before the vote, students tried to enter the recintopara participate in the meeting and the incidents broke our.

A short report from Athens December 15
actforfreedomnow!
15 Dec. 2010 - More than 150-200.000 people to the streets with angry moods. People from the organized political scene (anarchists and antiauthoritarians, leftists, a separate march for PAME-KKE stalinists), base syndicats and workers' groups, and also many "mainstream" workers (the strike was called and covered by the main sell-out trade union umbrella GSEE, and others (an initiative of families with more than 3 children: they are somewhat of privileged traditionally in Greece, a status they lose to the austerity measures now), neighbourhood and residents' assemblies and anti-garbage-dump initiatives (there is actually a violent clash and police occupation in Keratea's planned dump outside Athens these days). Most of the country's economy was blocked, since workers in ports, airports, trains, banks etc went on a strike.
Some speak of as large a participation as on the May 5th demo (~300.000. where 3 bank employees died in a fire caught from molotov cocktails, locked inside their bank). Probably this was one of the reasons there was a real restriction of using fire against such buildings in this demo, virtually all of the "cocktails" were offered to the cops (also to a few luxurious cars). One of the few exceptions was the Grande Bretagne hotel opposite the parliament that got hit by some really strong kind of firecrackers. Also, a former right-wing minister (Hadjidakis) got spotted and was beaten to bleeding by mainly middle-aged "mainstream" demonstrators. Hours of strong clashes around Syntagma square (parliament) and all the way to the Polytechnic.
The police gangs of Dias/Delta motorbike cops had their asses kicked maybe for the first time on such a massive scale, same goes for their riot-cop mates. At least 2 of their bikes were set on fire http://athens.indymedia.org/local/webcast/uploads/img_0248.jpg (also a riot police van) while many of their "kamikazee" attacks against the crowds were repelled with stone pelting and face-to-face fights by all means! To get even, they retaliated against passersby and isolated demonstrators. Thousands of plain-clothes & hooded pigs in large masses of 50-100 or more, sometimes even entering the demonstrations seemingly as yet another block! Many demonstrators got followed by such pigs after the demo and some got abused or even prosecuted for a "control check" at the police headquarters (a police tactic to intimidate and scare individuals out of participating in angry demos). Lots of people retreated to the Polytechnic university, around which battles with every kind of cops followed.
The plain-clothes cops took care of the greatest part of the repressive work today, this could be a new police tactic for demos in Greece, since in such a way the police doesn't seem so much (good for the TV and foreign press), but is more invasive and uncontrollable.
The people seemed to be overwhelmed with anger rather than fear of the police State terror, much actions of solidarity were demonstrated leading to a relatively small amount of arrests-kidnaps of demonstrators by the cops.
Some also speak of fascists with batons around the cops, attacking retreating demonstrators, but they could be as well plain clothes officers, as there aren't any differences in our days, except for a salary (the cops are probably the only "employees" in the country -ok maybe also the priests, judges...you get the idea- that don't suffer huge >30% wage cuts).
After the demo police took over seemingly every street in central Athens, while motorbike patrols moved into Exarchia, to take over the streets, probably to prevent people staying out and moving to any strategic occupations and plans for the next moves.
Herstal, Belgium - Lorry containing 300,000 euros in meal tickets stolen at gunpoint
rtlinfo
A delivery man was preparing to deposit meal cheques at a pharmacy located in Herstal, Tuesday morning, when he was robbed by a gunman. After receiving a few blows, the victim gave the keys of his vehicle whose cargo was about 300,000 euros. The vehicle was quickly recovered, but there was nothing inside.
The robbers were probably well informed and the driver had undoubtedly been tracked. They knew all the places and times of passage. In addition, they committed the attack near the highway at a place where they could easily escape and in the early morning when the lorry was still full.
Currently, the police are trying to track the criminal network that committed the robbery. But for this we must wait for meal cheques to be delivered to traders in the country. Thanks to bar codes, the investigators hope to locate the thieves or their associates from the black market.
With regard to workers who were to receive these benefits, there is no need for panic. They will receive their good meal cheques but with some delay, the time it takes to reprint them.

Khartoum, Sudan - 46 women and 6 men arrested for unlawful assembly for protesting against flogging
cnn
Khartoum, Sudan -- A YouTube video of Sudanese police officers laughing as they publicly flogged a pleading, fleeing woman has sparked outrage, prompting dozens of demonstrators to protest Tuesday outside the Justice Ministry in downtown Khartoum, authorities said.
The demonstrators belonged to the Women Initiative Against Violence, and 52 of them -- 46 women and six men -- were arrested for unlawful assembly, the Khartoum State Police Force said in a statement.
All 52 persons were released under bail, police said.
The two-minute video has caused an uproar in Sudan, and columnists in pro-government newspapers have called for an immediate investigation. Much criticism focuses on how the flogging was carried out.
The footage shows an unidentified woman in a head scarf and black abaya, or Islamic robe, and she's ordered in Arabic to sit down in a parking lot and take her punishment so that the officers "can go home."
The flogging is initially to her back, in keeping with the Sharia code, or Islamic law, governing flogging, but when she turns to ask for mercy, the whipping continues to the front part of her body, including her face, hands and legs.
A shocked passerby can be heard exclaiming, "There is no authority but God's" after witnessing the woman's punishment. One of the officers responds: "This is a fundamental principle. Let him whip her."
At another point, an officer laughs when he realizes he is being filmed and asks the person behind the camera to film spectators whom he says are laughing with him. That officer then joins the flogging, and the woman is whipped by the two male officers.
Sudan's deputy police chief, Adel Al-Agib, initially attempted to downplay the incident and told the government's official news agency that the video was circulated to "damage the image of the country."
In a recent meeting organized by the Sudanese Journalism and Publications Council, Al-Agib said the video was recorded in July 2009, but was recently released "to coincide with International Human Rights Day in order to bring on more international pressure on the country," he said.

Madina, Saudi Arabia - Rioting erupts in orphanage for girls
14 december 2010 - MADINA: Officials from six government agencies and 40 security officers, including Maj. Gen. Awad Al-Qahtani, Director of Police in Madina, and 12 women jailers restored order at a girls’ orphanage after some female inmates rioted and held the orphanage’s principal and social workers, according to sources.
The situation at Orphan’s Village was resolved peacefully and there were no injuries, officials said. Hatim Ameen Bari, Director of the Ministry of Social Affairs in Madina didn’t elaborate on the causes of the incident due to its sensitivity.
Before they came out of the orphanage, the rioting girls were throwing stones at some girls who were passing by, according to sources.
Bari and some female supervisors from the ministry’s branch in Madina arrived at the scene and made efforts to control the situation, officials said.
A source said a committee of officials from the ministry and Madina Police had probed a similar incident in the past month.
The investigation included scrutiny of security guards deployed at the facility, the source added.
The committee has completed the investigations and submitted its recommendations to Prince Abdulaziz Bin Majed, Emir of Madina, the source said.
The orphanage, which shelters 60 female orphans, witnessed a similar incident when its staff poured diesel fuel on the walls to prevent inmates from escaping, which led to the intervention of members of the National Society for Human Rights in Madina.
The members, who made it clear that the action violated the orphans’ rights, said the riots were caused by a lack of a rehabilitation program, poor standard of living and services and a lack of psychologists.
Lecce, Italy - Sentence of the Nottetempo appeal trial (9th December 2010)
As usually goes with the justice of the system, things turned badly for the comrades on trial: not only have some of the requests of the public prosecutor been accepted but those who had been acquitted in the first grade of the trial have also been charged. The story is by now well known. Operation Nottetempo started in May 2005 when searches were carried out all over Italy and five comrades from Lecce were arrested and detained for almost two years in preventive arrest. The main reason for this judicial operation against anarchists was the tenacious struggle the comrades had undertaken against the notorious detention centre for immigrants Regina Pacis

Rome and many other cities, Italy - Riots and clashes in day of action against Gelmini reform and vote of confidence in Berlusconi
from the italian media
14 December 2010 - Thousands of college students demonstrated today in Rome and major cities in a day of action against the Gelmini reform and in support of the no-confidence vote against Berlusconi. Among them, however, are also added to the social centres and militant black bloc. And after the confidence in the House, the violence broke out.
Black Bloc activists and militants from the social centres, who had joined the student marches in the morning, reached corso Rinascimento, a step away from the Senate, presided over by the police. Against the police cars paper bombs, firecrackers, cobblestones, bottles and eggs rained down. There were riots and fights in different areas of the centre between Via del Corso and Piazza del Popolo, with charges of tear gas in response to improvised barricades with trash bins on fire, road blocks, broken windows, and assaults on armoured forces of law and order with sticks and hammers. A dozen young men with their faces covered raided the offices of civil defense in via Ulpiano smashing windows and throwing eggs, no injuries among employees. The wounded in the street however were at least 40. Among them a journalist of the Agi, hit in the face by a stone.
At Porta del Popolo police charged protesters engaged in heavy stone-throwing, to back them off to the Tiber. The bulk of the procession is split: one part is directed at the Flaminio district, the other Prati. A difficult day today for the Capital. In the streets, on the day in Parliament voted confidence in the Berlusconi government, university and high school students, along with temporary workers, workers, researchers, Aquila earthquake survivors and activists from struggles for housing and social welfare gathered under the name "united against the crisis."

Athens, Greece - Update on Giannis Dimitrakis trial 13/12
actforfreedomnow!
13/12/2010 - The public prosecutor proposed that the defendant be found guilty for the robbery, which he has accepted, as well as the attempted homicide against the guard of the bank.
However he asked to change the criminal charge of criminal organisation he faces to the delinquency of “gang” since after his first trial acquittal for six of the seven robberies that he was initially accused of, the evidence of “continuous action” is “missing”. For this robbery Giannis Dimitrakis had been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
The public prosecutor, however, proposes basically to decrease his sentence since he asks he be exempted for two more attempted homicides against two cops for which he had been sentenced at the first trial. As for the injury of the police guard of the bank the Public Prosecutor stresses that there is no homicide intention from the defendant but only his “mental subscription to the perpetrators”. “Maybe he did not shoot himself but the perpetrators left organised and together in a way that shows that they had decided together before hand how to react to a potential obstacle”, he said.
The public prosecutor in order to justify his proposal characterized “contradictory and vague, the testimonies of the police officers”, while he stressed that “in the area they only found one bullet, a fact that shows that the defendant did not shoot continiously”. He asked though that of the mitigations that he asks for are recognized.
Earlier in his plea Giannis mentioned: “My punishment is a field for fighting and conflict with authority. The robbery was a representative solution for my ideological and existential problems. It is the answer to the question of how an anarchist goes on. In the dilemma if I shall remain a weak-minded spectator or an active citizen I decided to participate. In the end we will win!!!!”
He called “comrades” the wanted Seisidis and Tsironis, as well as the arrested as members of Conspiracy Cells of Fire. He made a specific mention to Lambros Foundas that was killed in a clash with police officers in Dafni area and stressed that “in the Revolutionary Struggle case they criminalized human relations in a setting of American cutting similar to the 17 November group” and added: “it is a death that has been justified by the regime with the phrase “terrorist that died when he avoided arrest”.
G. Dimitrakis ended “I was I am and I will be an anarchist. As long as I live and breathe the journey will continue”.
The trial will resume on the 23d of December when it is also expected the decision will be taken.

Residents of Keratea, southeast of Athens, clashed with riot police yesterday and on Saturday as they attempted to prevent efforts to construct a new landfill in the area. Police used tear gas on both days and several people suffered minor injuries as officers attempted to stop angry locals from blocking the site in the Ovriokastro area. Keratea and Grammatiko, northeast of Athens, were designated several years ago as the sites where Attica’s new landfills would be built but the schemes have been held up by legal wrangles and residents’ protests.

Jerusalem - Israeli police have arrested hundreds of Palestinian children
thenational
11 Dec 2010 - In the past year, criminal investigations have been opened against more than 1,200 Palestinian minors in Jerusalem suspected of hurling rocks at Israeli soldiers or Jewish settlers, according to police statistics gathered by the Association of Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI). That was nearly twice the number of children arrested last year in the much larger Palestinian territory of the West Bank.
Most of the arrests have occurred in the Silwan district, close to Jerusalem's Old City, where 350 extremist Jewish settlers have set up heavily guarded illegal enclaves among 50,000 Palestinian residents.
Late last month, in a sign of growing anger at the arrests, a large crowd in Silwan was reported to have prevented police from arresting Adam Rishek, a seven-year-old boy accused of stone-throwing. His parents later filed a complaint claiming he had been beaten by the officers.
Tensions between residents and settlers have been rising steadily since the Jerusalem municipality unveiled a plan in February to demolish dozens of Palestinian homes in the Bustan neighbourhood to expand a Bible-themed archeological park run by Elad, a settler organisation.

Santiago, Chile - Attack on mobile police checkpoint
lahaine.org
11/12/2010 - About what happened at the end of the march against the prison ...
After the pain and helplessness at the death of 81 prisoners in an extermination centre because of a fire produced and spread by the undignified conditions in which the State keeps under constant punishment and torture of thousands of exploited people who do not fit into the parametres of civilized society (obey / work / consume). The State and the Gendarmerie are truly responsible for the deaths of prisoners in the jail of San Miguel and all the imprisoned persons tortured and killed behind its bars.
It is for this horrible everyday slaughter that no cop should go unpunished, not that they should be tried and convicted, but because they must be avenged by the thousands of uprooted lives and for many that are they are willing to uproot.
This is how once the march against the prison ended, peacefully, a group moved to another point in the centre of Santiago, where stones, bottles and paving stones attacked a mobile police checkpoint smashing their windows and damaging the car body, from which a stunned official attempted, revolver in hand, to catch their attackers but without success.
"Jails cover up the miseries of this unjust society ... the prosecutors, policemen and judges responsible for this slaughter." Families outside the prison in San Miguel, the day of the fire. From Mexico to Switzerland, from Argentina to Greece, solidarity with all prisoners!
Offenders for assembling bombs in the street!
Revenge against the exploiters and their guardians!

Lyon, France, ten TCL bus company vehicles destroyed by fire
cette semaine
Progress, 06.12.2010 - Yesterday morning, two separate outbreaks of fire caused the destruction of cars parked at the TCL depot in the 8th district. One person was placed in custody "This is just the hardware. There were no injuries and that is the main thing, "says Karim, TCL controller, looking at the two officers from the forensic fussing around ten burned cars.
Sunday shortly before 4 pm, firefighters were called to a fire at the TCL depot in Lavirotte and Audibert streets in the 8th arrondissement of Lyon. At this hour, none of the 500 employees (drivers, maintenance workers, supervisors) can be found on the site. Only the security guards who make rounds with several companies. The street is deserted, surrounded by corporations and the Guillotière cemetery. The depot, meanwhile, is closed by a large blue gate but a wall of only 1.20 meters in height allows anyone to enter.
Fifteen soldiers and ten fire engines, four spears, were mobilized to contain a fire that could spread to the premises of the "Directorate of Security" nearby. The worst is avoided for the building came out with broken windows and a blackened facade. In contrast, ten vehicles used by TCL controllers, overwhelmingly Renault Kangoo, are completely charred. "A sad spectacle," said sorry Bernard Rivalta, president of Sytral, who went up yesterday morning. The buses, parked in a hangar at several metres from the parking lot, were not affected. According to preliminary investigations, two separate outbreaks of fire were found, confirming the thesis of arson. The wind and the proximity between the cars, parked in two rows, contributed to the rapid spread of fire.
Shortly after the incident, police arrested a person close to the disaster. He was remanded in custody, the time to conduct verifications, including his movements. "No, for the moment there is no decisive evidence to say that it was he," said a judicial source. Prints from his hands were taken yesterday. Results are expected today.
London, 9 December - Thousands fight against exclusion and the death society in iconoclastic revelry
sysiphus
London 9 December, 2010 - Thousands of young and not so young pour uncontrollably like mercury into Parliament Square to make themselves seen and heard. No fetishisation of the cops - they are simply ignored or got out of the way with the means at hand. Barriers intended to fence people in like sheep become a part of the improvised weaponry, thrown back from whence they came amidst music and laughter. 'We kettled the cops, heh, heh, heh'. At one point a posse of mounted riot cops gallop into the crowd - there is no panic, and without fear to stimulate their adrenaline, they ride straight out of the compound.
Meanwhile, impervious to the people's solicitations, the democratic dictatorship - worthy servants of capital's restructuring - press ahead in their contribution to the division of the world into included and excluded.
As the young people's anticipation turns to rage, some of the symbols of greed and power (dead and alive) that infest everybodies' lives are derided, brought down to size, simply, from the heart, far from the calculated deadly violence of police who step in, one of them almost murdering a demonstrator, smashing his skull with a truncheon.
Now, days later, it is the job of the lackeys of the regime to vomit out the latter's essence, VIOLENCE, in a twisted condemnatory accusation against the people whose lives are at stake now and in the future to come.
Perhaps a broken window in a high street store revealed the institutional violence of the sweatshops of Bangladesh that supply their trashy goods under the whip of starvation wages?
Perhaps paint on a riot cop's shield sparked the will to live, i.e. rebel, i.e. exercise one's physical and mental force in one's own interests, regardless of the threat of the blind institutionalised violence of the State?
Perhaps shouts of 'Off with their heads!' and the terror on the faces of the occupants of the cracked, paint-bespattered royal hearse jolted us out of the Disneyland of everyday 'life', giving a glimpse of a new/old wonderland, where vague historical images encounter vibrant hitherto undreamed dreams?
The Treasury, the supreme court?
No fortress is impregnable, the structures around us that affect our lives and rule the planet continue to exist thanks to consensus, ignorance or indifference, all conditions that are undergoing a radical upturning.
The detox has begun, we are flushing the State out of our veins!
So, in the words of an Angry Punk, found in a leaflet some time ago in the streets of London, SMASH YOUR TV, PISS ON YOUR NEWSPAPER, FIND THE PEOPLE THAT SHARE THE SAME HATRED AGAINST THIS SOCIETY AND ACT DIRECTLY AGAINST THE TARGETS!

Santiago, Chile - 83 prisoners dead, many more critically injured, as a result of being locked up as prison burned
reuters
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mundo/noticias/2010/12/101208_chile_incendio_carcel_jrg.shtml
8 Dec 2010 - Fire engulfed a prison in the Chilean capital early on Wednesday, killing 81 [now 83] prisoners and critically injuring 14 others, prison officials said, in the worst-ever accident in the country's jail system.Officials said the fire was triggered during an early-morning fight between prisoners [it has since been said that there is no evidence of this] in one of the crowded prison's five towers. Television footage showed part of the San Miguel prison in flames, black smoke billowing from the building.
Frantic relatives of the prisoners flooded to the jail's walls, screaming and imploring police to let them in to rescue their loved ones. Some threw rocks at police inside the prison perimeter in frustration.
"There are 81 dead, and we hope that figure won't rise," said Luis Masferrer, director of the national prison system. "This reflects the precarious state of Chile's prison system, which we have been denouncing and working to rectify since we took over (in March)."
"Overcrowding is a factor that will have to be analyzed in determining the causes of this terrible incident," he added.
Justice Minister Felipe Bulnes said the prison housed 1,960 inmates, nearly twice the 1,100 inmate capacity.
Radio station Bio Bio reported that around 200 prisoners had to be evacuated into a jail yard due to the fire.

Ancash, Peru - One dead and eight wounded by police during protest against Centaur Mining permit
larepublica.pe
6 Dec. 2010 - One dead and eight wounded was the toll of the conflict between people of the Comune of Recuay and the National Police in Ancash. The victim was identified as Muñante Cadillo Willy Vergara (33), who died in hospital in Huaraz after receiving a gunshot wound.
The incident occurred this morning as part of a 24-hour pre-emptive strike to protest the mining concession granted to the Centaur company.
Farmers from the villages of Catac, San Miguel and Virgen del Rosario covered 167 kilometres to refuse to grant over 800 hectares of land in the community of Huambo.
The move caused several vehicles to be stranded on both sides of the road, so that the police used force to unblock the road, resulting in a violent confrontation. The villagers blame this situation on the Regional Office of Energy and Mines' permit to Centaur Mining, which they said will pollute Lake Conococha, considered a source of life.

La Devèze (Béziers), France - Future police station set fire to again
cette semaine
5 December 2010, Midi Libre - The message is loud and clear: no, no, no, delinquents in the neighbourhood of La Devèze in Beziers do not want that future police station, currently under construction behind the cultural centre Albert Camus!
For the third time in less than three weeks, the building suffered a fire in the night between Thursday and Friday.
This time, as before (Friday, November 19), the authors forced the door of the building under construction before throwing a burning dustbin inside. The hall leading to the stairwell and the lift has again been devastated.
Remember that Monday, November 15, a car had already been rammed against the facade. Blackened by fire, the building still carries the marks.
On the night of Thursday to Friday, firefighters were also called to two other garbage fires. The first was triggered at 22 hr at the Krafft College of La Devèze. The second broke out at 2 am, Rue de la Republique, in the city centre.

6 December 2010 - Demonstrations in 17 cities of Greece
informa-azione
6 Dec 2010 - On the second anniversary of the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos there were demonstrations in 17 cities of Greece. In Athens, two events took place: the first in the morning, called by students and teachers, the principal in the afternoon with a greater presence of anarchists, anti-authoritarian and leftist movements.
During the first march, students greeted the police throwing oranges, previously, in cities and suburbs, spontaneous demonstrations of high school students marched through the streets and in the area of Aigaleo, a hundred of them collided with the police after they entered the local police station.
Before the main march began, the fighting had already begun, triggered by the ban to start the event and provocations of the police in the university area where the participants were gathering.
The ban on demonstrating and the charges against the first clustered in the street, failed to block the various groups that were gathered beyond the police lines.
Thousands of people then came together, without permission, in the streets of Athens and the deployment of riot cops, 3000 agents, attacked at several points surrounding the blocks of protesters who responded with rocks, sticks, cans of paint and some petrol bombs (mainly in clashes outside Parliament).
The riot cops first responded with tear gas, then with stun grenades.
All night the fighting continued in the district of Exarchia, where Alexis was killed. Still charges, tear gas, and attacks against police barricades, many protesters held, some wounded among the police.
It seems that the cops have also destroyed the marble plaque placed by demonstrators in memory of Alexis.
For now, according to the regime media, it seems there are 84 held among the demonstrators.

Portland, OR, USA - Anarchists set off smoke bomb in cop bar
anarchistnews.org
In the predawn hours of December, 6th 2010, to mark the two year anniversary of the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos in Exarchia, a smoke bomb was ignited inside the Portland Metro Police Club (618 SE Alder st.)–a private bar, ballrooom, and athletic facility operated by the Portland Police Association. We did this to articulate our utter contempt towards the police, and our hatred of the state and capitalism in general.
This act of sabotage was a gesture of revolutionary solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists of the Conspiracy Cells of Fire in Greece, The Asheville 11, Christos Stratigopolous, the recently released Alfredo Bonanno and all those resisting state repression everywhere.
Fire to the cops, bosses, and politicians!For anarchy and communism!

[warning: keep at arm's length, and remember: THE STATE IS THE ONLY TERRORIST!]
aolnews - ATHENS, Greece (Dec. 5) -- An Athens prosecutor on Sunday charged five men and a woman with terrorism-related charges following a flurry of police raids believed to have thwarted an attack ahead of the second anniversary of violent riots sparked by the police shooting of a teenage boy two years ago.
The suspects, aged between 21 and 31, were under surveillance for more than a month but police resorted to dragnet arrests Saturday after two suspects were caught leaving an Athens hideout with backpacks of explosives, hand grenades and guns."The assumption was that they were preparing an attack," said a police official requesting anonymity. The official refused to elaborate but the private Mega television network reported that the terror suspects were eyeing a police or judicial target.
At least 14 house raids waged across the country have so far produced a grab-bag of weapons and gear, ranging from safe action pistols and submachine guns to flak jackets, memory sticks and wigs. While much of the police operation – still ongoing – has focused on the greater Athens area, counter-terrorism officials have also fanned out across the country raiding an apartment in Agrinio, central Greece, and arresting a nutritionist on the island of Crete.
All six terror suspects, including the 26-year-old female accomplice, have denied the charges levied against them; they say their rights had been violated and that authorities had refused to disclose details of the case against them. They face an investigating magistrate on Monday.

Papua - Escaped prisoner's death sparks prison riot
thejakartaglobe
Jayapura. December 3 2010 - Hundreds of inmates at the Abepura Penitentiary in Papua rioted on Friday to protest over the shooting of a fellow prisoner who escaped and was killed in a raid the same day.
The prisoners shattered windows and destroyed fixtures like chairs and tables after jail officials refused to identify the officer who shot Hiron Wetipo, who had fled with five other inmates early on Friday.
Dozens of officers from the National Police Mobile Brigade (Brimob) rushed to the scene to restore order, according to Nazaruddin Bunas, head of the Justice Ministry’s Papua office.
Additional help was sought from the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM), he said.
Nazaruddin said Buchtar Tabuni, a convicted separatist rebel and the riot leader, had demanded that authorities name Hiron’s shooter. “They didn’t give in to his demand, so the riot broke out,” he said.
Adj. Sr. Comr. Imam Setiawan, chief of the Jayapura Police, said Hiron and his group had gone into hiding in Tanah Hitam, Abepura subdistrict.
They were found by a joint police and military team looking for alleged separatists who launched a series of attacks along Jalan Raya Abepura on Sunday.

The Rise of Indonesian Atheism
thejakartaglobe
Dec 5 2010 - Embedded within Indonesia’s constitution are the following two lines: “all persons have the right to worship according to their own religion or belief” and “the nation is based upon belief in one supreme God.”
Placed side by side, it’s almost as if those two lines take on a new meaning. Feel free to worship however you choose, but make sure you choose to worship.
However one interprets it, there is no question that inter-religious conflict is on the rise in Indonesia.
Recent confrontations over faith have been allowed to turn the ideal of tolerance on its head with violent and ugly results.
And while finding common religious ground among those of different faiths has always been a delicate dance, it seems there are some people who are interested in changing the tune entirely. In greater numbers than ever before, they are standing up and doing the unthinkable: they are proclaiming that they no longer have any religious faith at all.
They are members of a small community of non-believers, otherwise known as atheists, and it seems that many of them are no longer content being silent.
More and more Indonesian non-believers are taking a stance against what they perceive is an archaic and repressive system.

Argentina - An anarchist brigade? Doubts raised by comrades of Culmine
culmine
Culmine willingly publishes and translates communiques relative to anarchist direct action undertaken anywhere in the world. We remember with pleasure that Severino Di Giovanni had a regular column like this - precisely in Culmine - called "Face to face with the enemy."
With the changing times, many claims are made directly on the Internet and in countries where there is no strict control of the network connections (e.g. fascist Italy) there are no great risks to those who send clandestine communiques. Unfortunately, this phenomenon increases the risk of false press releases or actual provocations. Recently we have had to deal with examples from Chile and Mexico.
More recently there is the case of an Argentinian brigade claiming actions of a certain weight, it is almost always of attacks, robberies, shootings. All actions that could have the approval of real rebels, provided they are truthful.
We of Culmine, in the light of recent events, have begun to have doubts and we need some confirmation.
But let's step back, re-reading some of the claims signed by the brigade, we read: "We are mainly anarchists" meaning they are not all anarchists, "we collaborate with a group of classist comrades who have decided to unite their destiny with our true antisystem fighting against union bureaucracy" which concerns us little, since we are not classist and that we are not fighting at all against the union bureaucracy.
Concerning an arsonist attack against buses, in a wage dispute, it was written "may no exploiter remain unpunished, nor any bureaucrat without warning from the moment their actions are observed by the proletarian working mass" ... but what proletarian working mass? Not even the 70s Italianist workerists expressed themselves in this way!
Another report on the theft of weapons from a barracks, concluded with the appeal "arms for the people." Again, hyper-populist language!
About the explosive attack of Cipolletti, which caused the death of a garbage collector, the brigade in question only talked of the death after being urged by the Células Revolucionarias. Here's the question and answer: c.r.: "it seems important that they give their views on recent events in Patagonia Argentina, where we sincerely believe a person who died was not the objective of this action. " Brigade: "unfortunately it was not like the cell of the area is making a self-criticism for this and will plan better for future attacks."
And their last release - among others - that relative to the assault on a security van in San Nicolás. This is a question of a real military assault, with powerful firearms (FAL, M-16 and other armaments), by a group of more than a dozen attackers, with at least three stolen cars.
Disproportionate firepower to send to the other world a couple of cops, as they want to make it understood by the statement. In fact, this is one of the many armed attacks on security vans ended badly, partly because the group focus seems to be primarily that of liquidating the two patrols rather than breaking into the armored vehicle.
The Argentine press has not given any weight to the claim of the brigade and points more to the idea of a band made up of cops and criminal elements, which is quite frequent in that country. The following two videos to help you understand the dynamics of the assault: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmGmdoRpwZI&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQtC1C3c3FM&feature=related
The statement twice uses the term "the comrades withdrew with order", unusual language for anarchist action group. These are our concerns. We do not feel like adding more. We are always on the side of those attacking the system, but we want to understand who we are dealing with. Actions do not speak for themselves, two cops killed by other cops (real or potential) do not interest us. We do not know what to do with the proletarian masses in arms!

Jamgara, Ashulia, Bangladesh - Garment workers rebel against sudden closure of Universe Knitwear Factory
thedailystar
5 December 2010n - At least 10 people, including two policemen, were injured in a clash between law enforcers and garment workers over the sudden closure of a factory at Jamgara in Ashulia yesterday.
Sources said nearly 1,700 workers of Universe Knitwear Factory reached their workplace in the morning to find that the unit has been shut down. No prior notice was served.
Incensed at the incident, the workers gathered at Jamgara Government Primary School compound and started chanting slogans against the authority. At one stage they gathered by the Dhaka-Tangail highway in a bid to block it.
The clash ensued when the agitating workers tried to put a barricade on the highway around 9:30am, said Sirajul Islam, officer-in-charge (OC) of Ashulia Police Station.
The workers also started throwing brickbats at the law enforcers, to which the police retaliated with tear gas shells and rubber bullets, added the OC. The workers were dispersed around 10:00am.
Sub-inspector Shahen Shah Parvez said “I with a team of six police personnel reached the spot. The workers hurled brickbats at us leaving one of my colleagues and myself injured.”
The SI added they took shelter behind a shop and on information another team rescued them.
At least eight factory workers sustained injuries during the clash, said locals.
Managing Director of the factory Hossain Shah Zaved, however, claimed the factory management was compelled to shut down the factory temporarily fearing more unrest.
The workers had been agitating since Wednesday demanding almost double the rate per piece for production of sweater. Zaved termed the demand unusual.
The factory will resume production once normalcy returns, he said, adding a negotiation between the workers and the management was going on to resolve the crisis.
Police arrested three factory workers at noon in this connection.
Meanwhile, around 3000 workers of Palmal Sweater Ltd abstained from work at its factory at Ashulia from 11:00am demanding pay hike.
SI Parvez said police personnel were deployed in and around the factory to avert any breach of peace.
One of the directors of the factory said they would sit with the workers today to settle the matter.
He added the workers left the factory in the afternoon.

Athens, Greece - Further updates on last night's arrests
actforfreedomnow!
Update on the arrests in Athens, Greece 5/12
Big turnaround by the balistic reports. – The guns are not connected with 'terrorist' attacks.
The first balistic reports are completed on the guns in the safehouses.
They have not been used in 'terrorist' attacks. Were not used in attacks of urban guerilla war, that were found in Nea Smirni and in Piraeus, according to the until now results of the balistic examinations, in the laboratories of the criminological service. Meanwhile the Police continue to interrogate the nine individuals that, according to the statements and leaks of the antiterrorist police but also the ministry of Protection of the Citizen, are alleged to be connected with the activities of the armed organisation “Sect of Revolutionaries”.
NOTHING HAS FINISHED!
EVERYTHING CONTINUES!! SOLIDARITY IS OUR WEAPON!!
A LETTER FROM THE LAWYER OF ONE OF THE ARRESTED
What certainty until now has been dislocated is the procedural right of the detainees and their possibility of communication with relatives and lawyers. The absolute prohibition of elementary rights while its been almost 24 hours since their arrest as well as the refusal to confirm the names of the arrested touches the limits of snatching. The scorn is completed with the usual method of selected leaks and the communication manipulation of common opinion.
And if these happen with the cover of the District Attorney's office the coincidence of repression mechanisms not in protection, but in the catalysis of the legal and constitutional order is confirmed.
One day before the completion of two years since the murder of Alexis Grigoropoulos and while the entire society finds itself in unrest and prepares for mobilisations the guilty State has an obvious need to redeem itslelf, to present successes and especially to legalise the autarchy that it is preparing for tomorrow's anniversary.
No tolerance! No political and communication expediency above rights and liberties!

UPDATE ON THE RAIDS IN ATHENS
actforfreedomnow!
Summarising all we heard from the mainstream media and journalists basically the voice of the anti terrorist police. 2 houses (a garage in Nea Smirni and an apartment in K. Grenades were found, 50 kilos of explosive materials anfo and a small quantity of TNT. As for the arrested, it's four people, two on Themistokleous Street in Exarhia, Athens and the other 2 in Nea Smirni that they say had weapons on them as well. The anti terrorist is leaking according to its spokespersons that there are 10 more people prosecuted while they are searching 15 points in Attica. As for Piraeus 2 young individuals of about 23 years, while they are openly saying that they have arrested an individual with a 600000 euro price on his head by the State wanted for the “robbers in black”.
The ballistic report has still not finished while they vaguely connect that they have in their hands members of two organisations, Revolutionary Sect and Conspiracy of Cells of Fire. Definitely all that we hear is the voice of the State that with its mechanisms and its spokespersons will take the case communicatively where they want it to.
Attention to what is heard, it needs great reserve since what they are trying to connect is not only incomprehensible by the simplest logic but also vague or lies. The State this moment is steps ahead of what they have found, and leaves what they want to pass to society via our screens.
Its good that we are aware of what it is said.
Solidarity to the fighters that will spend the night in the hands of the fascist authorities of the parastate, cops and the justice of the junta.
The fight does not stop no matter how many fighters they arrest.
