translator's note: this communique (originally posted at https://de.indymedia.org/node/565575) uses a couple of phrases that need explanation. The first is "Handarbeit" which I have translated as "DIY." In this case, the phrase handarbeit (work done by hand) has a special meaning among autonomists etc, as in the phrase "Antifa Bleibt Handarbeit" -- Antifa remains done by hand-- meaning both that you need to do it yourself, it can't be done FOR you, and also that you must literally use your hands to do it.

In mid November GLS bank got in touch with the association that was helping us to collect donations. Their bank account got canceled immediately. The bank didn’t give any reason apart from mentioning a certain rule that allows them to cancel the bank account for “important reasons”.

Last weekend, 14th–16th November 2025, anarchists from different countries met for the second time for an international exchange to analyze, debate, and develop anti-militarist struggles. Contributions in person, via video, and in writing from comrades in the UK, Greece, Israel/Palestine, Italy, France, Finland, and Germany were presented. As we can easily understand, the enemies of freedom and their dogs are surely not fond of an international moment like this. Besides surveillance around our meeting, we want to make one incident known:

From Anarchist Barrio

In the context of the Rheinmetall Entwaffnen (RME) antimilitarist action camp in Cologne 2025, an open assembly came together in Berlin to organise an Anarchist Barrio in the camp. After the camp, people from the Berlin assembly who participated in the A-Barrio discussed their perspectives and experiences of the camp at evaluation meetings. This following text aims to summarize those discussions but as well support them to go deeper.

As previously reported, we (Nathalie and Manuel) were unexpectedly released from prison on September 22.

(Below is a brief update on our release and the first few weeks afterward, followed by the subsequent publication of an open letter from prison dated August 2025).

From Act for Freedom Now! - Berlin, Germany

October 31 marks one year since the day in 2024 when our friend and comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris lost his life in the afternoon in an apartment on Arkadias Street, Athens. He died as an anarchist revolutionary, who chose armed struggle, when a bomb in his hands exploded.

From Paradox-A

One thing I've never really understood is when people with explicit views say they need to clarify this or that before they can get involved (again). These are either people who were previously "politically active" or people who actually never were. The latter sometimes move around in the scene for years without ever organizing themselves into groups, striving for their own actions, or supporting structures.
