What has an anti-anarchist operation in Italy got to do with Berlin?

Even if “Italian conditions” (massive and broad repression against the anarchist movement) have not (yet) been achieved in Germany, the Roman Inquisition could be interpreted as an omen for the direction in which repression can develop… In recent years and months, there have been a number of state raids, crackdowns and §129 trials, in which the state snoopers have tried to map out networks to crack down on an entire movement or milieu.

As we approach the end of the trial of Operation Bialystok, it seems to us to be the right moment to spread some considerations on its progress. Although we are not interested in following the pace dictated by repression, nor in taking a victimistic or alarmist stance in the face of the activities of police institutions, we believe it is important to share information and impressions about what is happening at the court level. By conscious choice, we will summarize aspects and moments that we consider noteworthy, at the expense of a detailed and chronological description of the trial in which we are involved.

from Attaque.noblogs.org Translated to Italian by: Inferno Urbano and to English by Act for freedom now!

The trial against five anarchists arrested in Italy in the ambit of the umpteenth repressive operation, Bialystock, began on December 14. The comrades were arrested on June 12 at the request of the Italian government with the collaboration of France and Spain, in the midst of a major campaign against the anarchist movement.
The Italian State is prosecuting hundreds of anarchists in trials that have been going on since September. The Bialystock operation has had a very strong echo in Saint-Etienne because our comrade Roberto was arrested by the SDAT (Antiterrorism Sub-direction) and is being held in the prison of Fresnes (Paris) before being handed over to the Italian authorities.

"Operation Bialystok" – Anarchists from Berlin in Solidarity and Complicity

From roundrobin.info, Translated by act for freedom now!

NOW THAT YOU ARE SCARED.

Lecce, Italy: Without Authority

From Anarchists Worldwide

This was the expression of a Russian anarchist who, in the early years of the twentieth century, fought without quarter against the Authority and the iniquity that presented itself before him. The defense of property and the wealthy classes meant hunger and misery for everyone else, as well as jail and torture if these interests were undermined. More than a century later, the history of Russian and Polish anarchists, including the anarchists of Bialystok, a small minority of Jewish origin, speaks of the human and ideal struggle against the ferocity of the established order that starves and kills.
