From Return Fire

Original title: Open letter from Return Fire magazine to the 2024.03.29-31 International Anti-Prison / Anti-Repression Gathering

We welcome this initiative, and send our love and gratitude to all gathering in Brighton with the aim of together building a more durable and combative struggle against the authoritarian nightmare of the present-day. From the limits of our own capacity, we’d like to offer some thoughts; reflections that have been born from decades of shared struggle and over 10 years of publishing our magazines with a strong presence of anti-repression/anti-prison documentation and agitation.

Introducing: Jersey Counter-Info

Anarchist circle-a with flames in the background

Jersey Counter-Info (https://jerseycounterinfo.noblogs.org/) is a counter-information platform to promote and spread anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, abolitionist, and other radical ideas, news, and events in occupied Lenapehoking or so-called “New Jersey” and the surrounding areas.

This project is intended to fill a need for anarchists groups and collectives in the region who may not encounter each other to share their analyses and reportbacks securely and anonymously.

Indonesian Black Cross Statement: the Repression of Counter-Information

Statement of the Indonesian Black Cross (WA) Against the Repression of International Counter-Information

The same thing also happened in Indonesia, the silencing and repressiveness of the counter-information media has been increasingly encouraged by the Indonesian Police, such as the creation of a “cyber police” or social media police, which one of their aims are to isolate the spread of information not only anarchist networks but other political dissidents and those who have the courage the criticize the state.

325 Communique on the Attack upon Counter-Information

"There must be a re-energization of the international counter-information network, to once again become a threat internationally, after the repressive reaction that seeks to isolate anarchists from each other, not just around the world but even locally."

From Act for Freedom Now, UK

On 29.03.21 the Dutch police raided the data center that holds the nostate.net server, seizing the server itself as part of a criminal investigation into ‘terrorism’. Nostate.net is a collective that provided a platform for international movement websites from prisoner solidarity groups, multiple campaign collectives, anti-summit pages and international counter-information. Significant sites that used nostate.net as a platform that have been targeted by this repressive attack by the Dutch police are Anarchist Black Cross Berlin, Montreal Counter-Info, Northshore Counter-Info, Act For Freedom Now! (now re-activated on noblogs.org https://actforfree.noblogs.org/) and 325.
