(en) Britain, Glasgow Anarchists: Brutal attack on anarchists
movement in the Czech Republic
Over the past two weeks the Czech state has launched a massive attack on the anarchist
movement under the name Operation Phoenix. Dozens of people connected to the anarchist
movement have been arrested on terrorism and hate crime charges; flats, squats and social
centres are being raided/evicted with alarming speed and brutality (with court orders that
would normally take years to process are being rubber-stamped overnight and water canons
are been deployed); while the Anarchist Federation, the Anarchist Black Cross (prisoner
support), and several other radical groups have had their servers taken. ---- These brutal
attacks have been authorised due to the efficiency and effectiveness of the anarchist
movement in recent years, with the local solidarity network growing in numbers and so
being able to take on bigger and bigger targets, while social centres have provided the
space for sharing of experience and ideas while building working class solidarity.
The Belarus ABC have been putting up info as they have it (here and here), while the
ABC-Czech is collecting money for the legal support and can be contacted at abc-cz@riseup.net.
Solidarity with our friends and comrades, and if you can't do anything else then
considerer spreading news of this.
