The Anarchist Action Network is calling for a communications blockade of the Spanish
embassy on Monday the 9th of February in solidarity with those suffering at the hands of
the Guardia Civil (the Spanish Police Force). ---- Recently, Spanish Anarchists have
suffered a wave of repression. Raids, arrests, imprisonment, seizures of books and
computers and a sinister "Anarchist Terrorism" charge. The reasons given by the judge for
their continued detention include the possession of certain books, "the production of
publications and forms of communication", and the fact that the defendants "used emails
with extreme security measures, such as the RISE UP server". ---- If the Spanish state
think they should be able to read anarchists's emails, why don't we send them some mail
directly telling them exactly what we think of their repressive policies.
In addition to this the Guardia Civil are responsible for the cold blooded murder of
innocent people simply seeking to move. This brings us to another reason for calling this
comms blockade. This February will be the one year anniversary of the killing of dozens
of migrants by Guardia Civil on the Moroccan-Spanish land border at Ceuta. No one has ever
been held to account for these actions. When tweeting, calling, emailing the Spanish
Embassy, let them know that these murders have not been forgotten. There are also
demonstrations to mark the anniversary happening across Europe, including in London.
Before you send emails to the embassy, consider your own security too - see Tech Tools for
Activism for tips.
