WAR TIMES

On Tuesday, June 16, in Rome and other cities, new police raids hit the anarchist movement, with seven arrest warrants against as many comrades, 5 preventive detentions in prison and 2 house arrests with electronic bracelets, searches throughout Italy (including La Vampa in Naples), and the eviction of the Bencivenga Occupato social center in Rome. The main charge is the now classic “association for terrorist purposes” (270-bis). In addition, two comrades were arrested for the new crime of “terrorism by words” for possession of some pamphlets found during the searches.

Starting at around 5am on June 16, 2026, the Rome prosecutor’s office launched yet another repressive operation involving numerous anarchist comrades in various parts of the country. The alleged crime is conspiracy for terrorist purposes (Article 270 bis). The conspiracy is said to be related to sabotage carried out during the devastation of the Milan and Cortina areas, also known as the Winter Olympics.

Seven people have been arrested in Italy over suspected sabotage attacks on high-speed railway lines during the Winter Olympics earlier this year.

Italian police said on Tuesday that the suspects, believed to belong to an anarchist militant network, were detained on suspicion of terrorism-related offences.

This is a collaborative zine, definitely a work in progress. We (the authors) are anarchists who live in areas that will likely end up on the proposed Alto high-speed rail route in Eastern and Central Ontario. Some of us live rurally and some live in Peterborough, the one small city that will likely have a train stop and will be affected in many ways.

These are translations of two posts -- one from sottobosko and the other from La Nemisi regarding the 7 February 2026 sabotages of train lines in Bologna and Pesaro, italy.

An Athens court has acquitted 25 members of the anarchist group Rouvikonas (“Rubicon”) who were arrested for hanging a protest banner stating “Murderers” from the roof of the headquarters of Hellenic Train in February. The banner was part of a symbolic protest marking the second anniversary of the 2023 Tempe rail disaster, which killed 57 people.

Experts say the arson attacks before the opening of the Paris Olympics bear the hallmarks of insurrectionary anarchists opposed to the state.

In the middle of January 2024 some anarchists blazed a mural of remembrance for Tortuguita. We stole the paint from a big box store and graffitied the mural on side of a train car.
