BENEFIT FOR THE COMRADES TARGETED FROM OPERATION "SIBILLA" IN ITALY
At the dawn of 11th November 2021 there were numerous searches in different Italian cities and a new repressive operation (named "Sibilla") took place.
The comrades are charged with the crime provided by article 270 bis (association with the purpose of terrorism and subversion of democratic order), because of the design, printing and diffusion, also by digital and computer means, of the anarchist newspaper "Vetriolo", as well as for writings on walls with contents considered as outrage and incitement, in addition to a case of damage of a property belonging to others. Besides they are charged under art. 414 (instigation to commit crimes), for the drafting and diffusion of statements with content inciting the commission of crimes against the personality of the State, with the aim of terrorism and subversion of democratic order.
In addition to this, two counter-information websites were obscured: roundrobin.info and malacoda.noblogs.org, because considered an aggravating circumstance of the crime of instigation (through a digital instrument).
The anarchist space “Circolaccio” in Spoleto is criminalized, described as the headquarters of the association.
The investigation against our comrades is still running.
This is not an attack on the freedom of press and thought. The State is doing its job of controlling and managing the internal enemy, in order to maintain its authority and publications that resolutely affirm contents of a certain type, undermining its interests, are clearly targeted, as has always happened throughout history.
We want to express our solidarity and complicity to all the comrades under investigation and we invite you to join us on 5th of February, 12:00PM at Zielona Gòra. There will be translations of some texts contained in the various editions of the newspaper "Vetriolo" and the book "Quale internazionale?" involved in the repressive operation. The event will be held outdoors. We neither accept nor consider G-rules, but we reccomend to test yourselfs.
The power can repress and imprison individuals who refuse to accept authority, but the demon of revolt will continue to torment his dreams of social peace.
