It is with grief that we announce that on July 11, 2023, after a long illness that in the last months had exhausted and consumed him in body and mind, comrade Paolo Bruscino passed away, leaving a void of his kind and human presence.

Paolo had approached our Federation in 2009 at the beginnings of the Pietro Gori Committee formed for the centenary of his death and for the celebrations of the Elban anarchist and the laying of a plaque in his honor.

Italy: Operation “Scripta Scelera” against the fortnightly “Bezmotivny”

Via Act for freedom now!

In the early morning of Tuesday, August 8th, a repressive operation – ridiculously named Scripta Scelera (these fine people always come up with some “ambitious” or suggestive name for their operations) [Latin: “written crimes”] – was unleashed by the State’s repressive apparatus in various cities. It was aimed at shutting down the anarchist internationalist fortnightly magazine “Bezmotivny”, thereby striking the action of publication of analysis and reflection as well as, and in particular, texts claiming actions, sabotage and initiatives of attack undertaken by anarchists and revolutionaries throughout the world against the State and capital.

How does it change?

Via Dark Nights

On 8th August a repressive operation has been inflicted upon 10 comrades, resulting in four house arrests with all restrictions, five residence obligations with overnight return, and one comrade in prison due to not having proof of residence. All are accused of the charge of subversive association for the purpose of terrorism (art. 270 bis c. p.) and incitement to commit crimes (art. 424 c. p.) aggravated by the purpose of terrorism, in connection with the publication, as of 2020, of the fortnightly internationalist anarchist “Bezmotivny,” as well as offense to the honor and prestige of the president of the republic and clandestine printing.

On My Extraordinary Permit and Parody-Transfer

From Luchar Contra el 41 bisTranslated by Act for freedom now!

But instead of discreet, my transfer was made with measures I had never had before and without prior notice. Naturally, the neighborhood was upset, as were my relatives who wondered why all this had happened as I had just been in Kalamata for 3 weeks. As for the local community, acquaintances and friends in town, some treated the event with astonishment and others with acid humor, speaking of its ridiculousness.
