Thanks for your contributions!

The international week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners 2023 is over and we had many contributions this year. It was a great time to see messages of solidarity showing up every day from all over the world.

We want to send huge thanks to all the comrades out there that joined the call. Thanks to everyone who did support us on social media, who did banner drops, postering actions, movie screenings, presentations, letter writings, tattoo events, radio shows or something else to support the WOSWAP 2023!

This year people from so called Poland, Greece, Switzerland, Indonesia, Chile, USA, Uruguay, Spain, Ukrain, Bangladesh, Russia, Belarus, Czech, Finnland, France, Georgia and a lot of other places we just don’t know about joined the week.

We are happy especially about the contributions from behind the bars. Again this year we got letters from imprisoned comrades – thank you so much! We hope we could make your struggles visible and get your words out there! But besides letters from behind bars we received something even better: An anarchist comrade from Germany, Thomas Meyer-Falk was released from a 27 years prison sentence during the week! This is great news, but considering the fact that there are so many more anarchists still imprisoned we cant stop here and continue to demand FREEDOM TO ALL PRISONERS AROUND THE WORLD – FREEDOM TO THE MEMBERS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE!

Even though the week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners is now over please remember – solidarity is not something we do just for one week. We have to continuously support each other. During the week we highlight and emphasize the struggles of imprisonment especially – after the week we need to continue the support of the comrades that got taken from us by the states we fight, by the cops we hate and by the system we want to destroy. As we are all part of the anarchist movement we should never forget the ones who fought and fight against the injustice. So please continue to write letters, continue to drop banners and continue to stay connected with our imprisoned comrades.

Break the isolation!
No one is free, till all are free!

Message from Th. Chatzianggelou, C’Wing, Larissa Prison #Greece
#woswap2023 #WOSWAP

"….and the ashes of the Bastille will spread to the furthest reaches of the earth

“See, how their indifference is killing us”

On a planet burning with rebellious hearts, there are still messages of resistance and optimism. Messages of complicity hidden under hoods, travelling to our ears through a machine gun click in the palaces of the uniformed memes in Chile, from a Molotov cocktail in the angry French suburbs, from a blast of anger and justice in the West Bank, from a sabotage against developmental frenzy in the Italian north, from the shattered windows of domestic consumerism.

Here where time has no power over our bodies and rage drowns you in a spit the intensification of the international revolutionary struggle is our reminder of absolute freedom. It is our need and our desire. Whoever forgets the prisoners of the social and class war for an unrestrained world, forgets the war itself.

Unceasing solidarity with the unrepentant imprisoned revolutionaries who define life on the natural frontier of subversive law.

Strength and respect to the international revolutionary cells fighting in the present day justifying our captivity."

Greece: Resistance message of the imprisoned member of the Anarchist Action Organisation Th. Chatzianggelou for the international week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners

"Thanos Chatziangelou ….and the ashes of the Bastille will spread to the furthest reaches of the earth

“See, how their indifference is killing us”
On a planet that increasingly resembles a slaughterhouse, there are people with steeled consciences, deeply buried in the concrete and iron of non-existence for their subversive intentions. People who have honoured their status, standing with respect and dedication in the passage of history. They confronted the lackeys of power face to face, not as spectators in the arena of the spectacle but as fighters. Sworn enemies of injustice and opponents of the status quo."

Bloomington ABC will host a letter writing night on Monday August 28th during #WOSWAP2023.

"We'll be sending out letters and postcards to anarchists in Chile,
Italy, Belarus, and elsewhere. We'll also screen a couple of short
interviews with Ukrainian and Russian anarchists for a small donation,
to benefit Moscow ABC."

Комітет Спротиву /// Resistance Committee joined the call for #WOSWAP2023 #WOSWAP

"“We urge you to join the international week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners.

Today in Ukraine we are fighting for the release of dozens of anarchists imprisoned by putin’s Russia and its controlled regime in Belarus.

Continuing the struggle is one of the best ways to support them, but you can also support prisoners financially by donating to solidarity organizations. In Belarus these are ABC-Belarus, in Russia ABC-Moscow and Zona Solidarnosti.

And we will continue to participate in the counter-offensive until the people in BUR are free”"

Solidarity With Anarchist Prisoners: A Message From Occupied Ohlone/Miwok Territory

On August 21 2023, approximately 20 people gathered in San Francisco to write letters in solidarity with imprisoned revolutionaries, liberationists, insurrectionists, and anti-colonial warriors facing state repression around the globe. In commemoration of both BLACK AUGUST and INTERNATIONAL WEEK OF SOLIDARITY WITH ANARCHIST PRISONERS, people came together to read zines, share food, stories, and discuss the cases of numerous anarchist prisoners.

FREE ALL imprisoned land defenders and water protectors. FREE ALL prisoners of the George Floyd uprisings. FREE ALL prisoners of the Black Intifada and Ferguson uprisings.

FREE THEM ALL
