From Anarchist Front (telegram)
January 13, 2026

Today is the seventeenth day of the revolutionary protests by the people in Iran and the sixth day of a total nationwide internet blackout. According to an unimaginable report on the number of people killed in the war of the Islamic regime, fully armed, against unarmed citizens, we received the following messages. Due to the internet shutdown, this news cannot be independently verified from multiple sources.

The Political Repression and Resistance of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca

From The Final Straw Radio

This week, an interview we just conducted with Madeleine Wattenbarger and Axel Hernández of the Cooperativa de Periodismo in Mexico and Ambar Ruiz of Radio Zapote about the case of autonomous resistance and repression in the Mazateca community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón in Oaxaca, Mexico, so named for being the birthplace of the Cipriano Ricardo Flores Magón, revolutionary Mexican anarchist who was murdered by medical neglect by the US prison system in 1922 (check out our 2022 episode on the history).

Judicial Harassment Against Anarchist Militant Gabriel Pombo da Silva

From Abolition Media - Italy, Spain

The Italian authorities are continuing judicial repression against anarchist militant Gabriel Pombo da Silva, who was sentenced to two years in prison for “incitement to crime” as part of Operation Scripta Manent, despite the recognition by the Spanish state that he has already served 2 years and 8 months of excess detention.

NO KKKINGS

From PDX Anti-Repression Committee

Operating from within the u.s. empire, there are many contradictions that run rampant in our movements — so much so that sometimes, the movements we foolishly perceive as posing a challenge to the state are actually reinforcing its violence.

Who Are Putting Our Lives at Risk?

From Abolition Media by Marianna Manoura

As an inmate, you come face-to-face with the judicial apparatus and its bureaucracy at regular intervals, whether you like it or not. Documents that are either late or never come, documents that you don’t expect and turn up or look forward to and don’t come. Folders are closed, opened, plugs added, categories removed. There prevails, especially in the sub-judicial regime, a continuous waiting which sometimes gives motivation and sometimes causes tension. As far as our own case is concerned, the judicial system remains silent. After 13 months, the file was just closed after negative release decisions with ridiculous and non-existent justifications preceding it. The judicial mechanism, as it usually does in such cases, unfolds its vindictiveness in our case while it turns its gaze to the simultaneous systemic crimes.

Anti-war resistance in Russia and anarchists

From avtonom

Thousands of Russians have been fighting against the invasion to Ukraine. During first month of protests against the war, 15 000 people were detained. Small street actions are still sporadically taking place, although they are heavily persecuted. More than 300 people have been imprisoned for anti-war activities, including six anarchists and antifascists. What are the current anti-war initiatives in Russia to follow? How to support Russian anti-war movement, which is operating in more and more repressive circumstances? Why Russian anti-war movement has this far failed to change the course of war? Who are the current anarchist and anti-fascists prisoners in Russia, and how to support them?
