"Finally, I can tell everyone here that I am awaiting the verdict of this court quite calmly, because I know that the ideas of emancipation to which I have devoted a good part of my life transcend myself. Lastly, to those present and to all my comrades here as well as those who hear or read my words later, I can say that till my very last breath, I will always yell: death to the State and long live anarchy!" -Mónica Caballero

We’re sharing here a recent conversation that I had with Thomas Meyer-Falk, an anarchist who just finished a 27 year prison stint in Germany to speak about his life, his incarceration and his hopes now that he’s out. Thomas was involved in a bank robbery in 1996 as a young RASH anarchist skinhead who hoped to fund above ground and underground leftist organizing and continued to be incarcerated for the threats he made upon his capture. While inside he toned it down a bit, became a jailhouse lawyer of sorts and built connections with publishing projects, support groups and a radio station on the outside.
Today, November 7, 2023: while a demonstration in solidarity took place outside, the court gave the verdict against Mónica and Francisco after four months on trial.
