This article is also available in German, Italian and Greek

DOWN WITH PARAGRAPH 129,129A&B STGB!
FREEDOM FOR ALL ANTIFASCIST AND REVOLUTIONARY PRISONERS!

On May 16th last year, the anti-fascists Özgül Emre, Serkan Küpeli and Ihsan Cibelik, member of the music band Grup Yorum, were arrested. This year, anti-fascist Hasan Unutan, father of three, was also arrested.
All four were arrested on the basis of paragraph 129b of the German Penal Code (StGB) and have since been in pre-trial detention in various prisons in Germany, awaiting their trial for almost a year now, which they do not even know what it will involve because no indictment has been sent to date.
Since there are many injustices around the arrests and the trial, which we as the Committee “Away with Paragraph 129” have drawn attention to in various ways, we are taking our fight against these injustices to a new level. That is why Eda Deniz Haydaroglu is on an indefinite hunger strike. With the demands of the hunger strike, we want to draw attention to these injustices and call on the authorities to heed these demands.

Anti-Imperialist Struggle Committee Bulletin No. 12 – We Share the Hunger, We Share the Resistance!

To grow the resistance, we as Anti-Imperialist Struggle Committee, were in 4 day hunger strike to be in solidarity with Eda Deniz Haydaroglu.

On 18th of March, the Day of Political Prisoners, Eda Deniz Haydaroglu, a member of Revolutionary Youth Europe, started her indefinite hungerstrike. The utmost demand is the end of pre-trial detention (which has lasted nearly a year) of Özgül Emre, Ihsan Cibelik, Serkan Küpeli and Hasan Unutan. There is no judicial ground to legitimatize such a misuse of law, German State wants to punish revolutionaries and their friends without having to deal with judicial functions of a bourgeoise government. But the other five demands are also extremely important; they cover almost every aspect of the legal farce we are currently experiencing;

Statement of Alliance Against Naziparagraph 129: Accept the Demands of Alfredo Cospito! Destroy the Isolation!

The imprisoned anarchist militant Alfredo Cospito is on hunger strike since 20th of October 2022, resisting in Italian jails against the isolation regime 41 bis. We are in full solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and principally against all solitary confinement and isolation methods.

The 41 bis is a special detention regime in Italy, also known in Italian as “carcere duro” (hard prison regime) and is defined by the Article 41 bis of the Prison Administration Act. Even though it acquired its final denomination only in 1986, the 41 bis derives from the Article 1 of Law Nr. 354, issued in 1975. During this period, the class struggle had intensified in Italy. From militant left groups to autonomous factory workers, people of Italy were rising the struggle for freedom with the wave of anti-imperialism that was sweeping all the world. It is during this times that the prison system was radically reformed: the institution started thinking itself as something that can, at any moment, suspend its own rules, thanks to the intervention of the executive power. The state wanted this change in order to subjugate the revolutionary will that now fills the prisons, and wanted to crush possible prison revolts even before they started.

Call for the Lenin-Liebknecht-Luxemburg (LLL) March in Berlin

This call is also available in Turkish

We, the Anti-Imperialist Struggle Committee, call all our friends and our people to join the Lenin-Liebknecht-Luxemburg (LLL) March in Berlin every second week of January. We will commemorate Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht, the leaders of the German working class who were murdered by the reactionary Freikorps troops under the direction of the Social Democrats who betrayed socialism during the Weimar Republic, and Lenin, the leader of the global working class, who passed away on January 21, 1924. Today,  as the people are oppressed under imperialist wars and exploitation is increasing day by day, commemorating revolutionary leaders is also a call to the ranks of the struggle that will end exploitation and imperialist wars. We should make the demands of the resistance fighters and sick prisoners visible to everyone!

Solidarity Association of Prisoners’ Families (TAYAD) families and Revolutionary Youth (Dev-Genç) members who are recently abducted by the State are not alone!
Lift the house arrest of Ayten Öztürk!
Those who tortured Gülten Matur and Ayten Öztürk must be put on trial, torture centers must be closed!
Release sick prisoner Ali Osman Köse!

Call for Solidarity Demonstration in Berlin against Hunger Strikes in Greek and Italian Prisons

This call is also in Turkish

We share the call made by our anarchist friends to join the demonstration on Sunday, January 8, at 17:00 at Kottbusser Tor for the 11 revolutionaries from Turkey and anarchist militants Thanos Chatziangelou and Alfredo Cospito, who are on hunger strike. We, the Anti-Imperialist Struggle Committee, will show our solidarity with the 11 revolutionaries from Turkey with a one-day hunger strike on 4th of January.

The Italian Imperialists and the collaborating Greek state are committing crimes! They are trying to murder revolutionaries and anarchist militants. Just as the German imperialists tried to murder Özgül Emre, just as the collaborating fascist Turkish state kidnapped death fast veteran Gökhan Yıldırım and tried to murder him, the Italian and Greek states are trying to do the same. For 22 years in Turkey, for decades in Europe, the imperialism tried to take over the most resistant vein of the peoples through isolation policies, but failed. Their order is decaying, they have no means left but force, it’s all over for them, they have neither a wall to lean on, nor a branch to hold on to. Tanks and weapons are useless, people who resist are above all else!
