As part of an International day of Solidarity with Anarchists political prisoners
incarcerated by the Spanish State anarchists from across the north gathered in Belfast to
highlight there continued detention. As similar actions and protests took place across the
world, anarchists rallied at the anti-fascist monument in Belfast’s Writers Square.
The last few years have seen an increasing wave of repression against Anarchists and other
radicals right across the Spanish State, best characterized by the police operations
Pandora and Piñata. Acting in response to movements, uprisings and upheavals across the
country, particularly in Catalonia, the state has arrested dozens of comrades, often under
the pretext of anti-terrorism. The result has been to foster a climate of fear and in-action.
While most of those held in pre-trial detention have been released, all still have pending
charges. Now is our moment to show that their attempts to silence us will not work.
As today’s protest took place news arrived on those comrades already imprisoned. According
to the the publication “Coraje”, Javier Grijalbo Adán were released from prison on June
11th leaving only Paul Jara Zevallos still incarcerated following Operación Piñata. It is
expected that others will be released within the next few days.
Solidarity & strength from Ireland to all anarchist comrades being persecuted by the
Spanish state!
