In Contempt #6

Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, New Book from Casey Goonan, Marius Will Be Free, Malik “Disappeared,” Anarchists of the World on Trial

We return after Palestinian Prisoners’ Day with a renewed commitment to struggle for the freedom of prisoners everywhere, to expand international solidarity, and to tear down the walls that hold hostage the future for which we fight. This month's In Contempt, a roundup of repression news, political prisoner updates, and prisoner rebellions, is an attempt to prove that repression breeds resistance––but only if we try. Until all are free.

Harrowing news from Malik Speaks! about the Black, Palestinian, non-binary, anarchist prisoner Malik Muhammad:

“In the wake of a call-in campaign to get Malik out of solitary confinement (once again), something even more alarming happened.

Similarly the inmate search database for the state of Oregon showed no record of them.

Dimitris Koufontinas, who has been on hunger strike since the 8th of January, and whose health is now in critical condition, is facing his calculated extermination, a clear political choice made by the government of New Democracy.
