(en) 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 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 being rubber-stamped overnight and water canons getting 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.https://glasgowanarchists.wordpress.com/2015/05/10/brutal-attack-czech
