Italian Anarchist Massimo Passamani Solidarity With Hunger Strike

In the twilight zone of sorts I find myself in- neither free nor fully imprisoned – I have decided to give up my daily work release from prison for the next week, as a gesture of solidarity with the Palestine Action comrades on hunger strike in British prisons, a strike my friend and brother Stecco has also joined. I know that my staying in prison instead of going to work will not bother the prison administration in the least. But my message is not addressed to prison management – whom I have nothing to say to and nothing to ask of but to those who are fighting against the genocide of the Palestinian people, alongside its indomitable resistance.

Update on the final week of the trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernández

From Dark Nights - Chile

The eleventh and final week of the trial against our comrades Aldo and Lucas came to an end. Following the closing arguments by the prosecution and the defense teams for both comrades, which were in response to the statements made by both sides in order to present their own theories, the prosecution was emphatic in pointing out the guilt of both defendants in the acts with which they were charged. Aldo was charged with crime No. 1, which corresponded to the attack on the National Gendarmerie Directorate, as well as crime No. 2, which was after the raids, for which he was charged with the items found in Loncura, Quintero, and crime No. 3, which involved Lucas and the items found at the La Victoria neighborhood residence, as noted in the previous update.

From Montreal Counter-Information - Indonesia

After the mass revolts in August 2025, where a large section of the population rose up and attacked the state’s basic corruption and inequality, 44 anarchist comrades are imprisoned at the West Java paramilitary police compound in Bandung. There is no access for anyone but the families, and even this is minimal. The detainees have been cut off and they are being used in a mainstream media manipulation campaign by the Indonesian state. Many of the imprisoned comrades are very young.

Urgent – Imprisoned Anarchist Comrade Jorge Esquivel’s Life Is At Risk

From Dark Nights - Mexico

In recent weeks, Jorge Esquivel’s health has deteriorated due to a lack of adequate medical care.
