Argentina: Justice for Natix!

From Sociedad de Resistencia Oficios Varios Zona Sur GBA / FORA (facebook)
September 15, 2023

On Monday, September 11th, in police station N° 61 in Fray Luis Beltran, Maipu, Mendoza, punk and anarchist comrade Natix (Natalí Cardozo Guiñazu) was "found hanged." We know that punks, the anarchists, are a nuisance for the system, a nuisance to be eliminated, and even more, being imprisoned in the jails, we are more prone for the police (hired killers at the service of the powerful) to do whatever they want with us, with our bodies. We know that the police use and invent suicides that did not happen to cover up their murders in the prisons, and the friends and relatives of Natix believe that this is what happened in that police station.

It is with grief that we announce that on July 11, 2023, after a long illness that in the last months had exhausted and consumed him in body and mind, comrade Paolo Bruscino passed away, leaving a void of his kind and human presence.

Paolo had approached our Federation in 2009 at the beginnings of the Pietro Gori Committee formed for the centenary of his death and for the celebrations of the Elban anarchist and the laying of a plaque in his honor.

Revolutionary hearts burn forever: an obituary for Nicole

From Kontrapolis
August 17, 2023

As anarchists we often forget how important it is to celebrate, even in pain, and remember and pay homage to our comrades. Those who who have gone and those who are still by our side. As anarchists we should remember more often something so important that no power or repression had yet been able to break our networks of affinity and solidarity. It is thanks to these networks that today we can, even if from far, remember Nicole with you.

Remembering Lobo, a Revolutionary, a Comrade, a Friend

From Unoffensive Animal
August 2, 2023

Last week we heard that Lobo, known in Rojava as Elefteria Hambi, was martyred in Syria. After joining the YPJ in 2018 they moved to the mountains where they joined the YJA Star guerrillas and on the 25th of November 2019, they were murdered by the Turkish state during an airstrike. The news of their martyrdom was not made public until today.

Andrea Cianel left suddenly and quietly, like when at concerts after a beer and a couple of cigarettes all of a sudden he would disappear into the shadows and you would never see him again because he had gone who knows where, probably somewhere else listening to other music drinking another beer.

The year is 2019. We’ve arrived in California from Kansas City.
