MORE THAN 30 PRISONERS IN SOFIA PRISON ARE ON HUNGER STRIKE!

Prison director Peter Krestev, who we have mentioned before in a previous call for solidarity for prisoners, is now attempting to stop symbolic protests for basic human rights in Bulgarian prisons by closing down the prison shop.

‘Prisoners have not been able to buy food or cigarettes for 4 days now. In reaction to this some prisoners have started a hunger strike demanding to meet the Ministry of Justice and representatives from the National Prison Authority.’

The Bulgarian Ministry of Justice has failed to take notice of repeated and legitimate complaints about Krestev, who was previously dismissed from the position as prison director due the long list of human rights abuses he carried out. The situation is now getting worse. Upon being reinstated in his position, Krestev is now protecting a narco gang who beat, rape and torture prisoners.

UNOFFENSIVE UPDATE! 

Last Friday we joined our comrades in OVIA Castellón, in Spain, to have a workshop on hunt sabbing. We left with an incredible feeling of reassurance that the activists in that association are not only completely devoted to the animal rights cause but also highly caring for social issues.

Hunt Sabs Castellón might be the first Spanish sabbing group ever and we cannot wait to see what they are going to bring to the movement. In the workshop, we covered from how to become an official Hunt Sab group within the HSA to sabbing techniques. It was also wonderful to be able to SHARE the talk and learn more about hunting in Spain by listening to the folks that want to start the group.

Until then, we are open to them and to anyone else that needs a workshop on anything we can help. Traveling isn’t a problem thanks to our supporters, so hit us up and we will do our best to be there!

PS: Our Patreon still needs some love and care. If only our supporters gave us $1 each we would reach our target FOUR times.

FUR FARMING INVESTIGATION.

Malcolm Klimowicz from Kitchener Ontario Animal Liberation Alliance has endured a series of investigations in fur farms around Ontario to show the conditions animals are being kept on.

The magnitude of his work is massive, and he has only released a handful of the investigations. In this particular video, he discovers a puppy mill alongside the fur farm, and a corner of the farm is dedicated to white rabbits that could be sold for vivisection.

There’s a website to watch all the investigations and to sign a petition to end fur farming, so please have a look here:

PROTEST AGAINST THE GREYHOUND BOARD OF GREAT BRITAIN

28th January, London

A call to action to protest the Greyhound Board of Great Britain Awards was sent to us. Make sure to be there if you are close by! 

“This is the biggest event in the Greyhound Racing calendar.

Breeders, trainers, owners, bookies, in fact, all those who profit out of the misery inflicted on these gentle dogs will be there….. and so will we!

10,000 greyhounds are slung out of this industry every year: where do they all go? Some will end up running for their lives in China or Pakistan, some will be left in a shallow grave with a bolt to the head, some will find their forever home, but many, many greyhounds simply disappear.

Come and be a voice for those greyhounds that suffer and die, just for entertainment.”

MULTIPLE ACTIONS AGAINST #InvasionDay2018 ‘So-called Australia’

In the build-up to #InvasionDay2018, there have been reports of multiple actions of solidarity with indigenous people in ‘Australia’.

The Australian state and all of its institutions are built on genocide, slavery, and oppression. January 26th, Invasion Day, marks the anniversary of the beginning of European oppression in Australia.

Numerous banner drops have occurred, with one in particular reading ‘NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE – JAN 26 = INVASION DAY’.

‘This action was taken by non-Indigenous people as a minimal act of solidarity with the ongoing struggles of First Nations peoples.’

AUSTRALIA IS A CRIME SCENE. SOLIDARITY WITH OUR INDIGENOUS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

SUPPORT HAMBI 9!

3rd February 2018.

Hambacher Forst Besetzung has issued a blog post calling to action in response to the highly repressive imprisonment of 9 people of the forest after the last barricade eviction.

Whether a lunch-demo in front of your neighbouring prison, direct action against the machine and RWE, pain and colour actions at RWE shops, peaceful blockades and vigils, climbing actions to exhaust the number of climbing cops in the country or a prisoner support and letter-writing evening there are actions to be taken by anyone according to their action level and legal situation.

The idea is simple, targetting around the world any RWE institution, but also saying no to the “justice” system and confronting tribunals, courts and prisons.

Show solidarity with your comrades around the world. Stand up against repression. Say no to this capitalist climate genocide. It is our time to fight back.

If you have ideas, want to share anything with the collective or want to report actions, use [email protected] as your contact.

UNTIL ALL ARE FREE.

NEW ANIMAL RIGHTS PRISONERS. 

Sven and Natasha were sentenced yesterday. Charged with “conspiracy to blackmail” on their involvement with the highly successful SHAC campaign, Natasha was given 2 years in prison suspended for 2 years (which means that her conditions will be horrible and alienating and that if she breaches ANY she could be sent to prison) whilst Sven was given 5 years in prison.

This is a show of the state repression and their protection of capitalism. This is another example of how the system works to protect itself, to put profit over anything else, to eliminate the threats.

Sven, Natasha and many others involved in SHAC were true warriors against vivisection. They were fearless and they were effective. They run a campaign so incredibly powerful that the government had to make up laws to stop them.

Don’t let the state win and do not let Sven or Natasha feel alienated.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT! 

Over the past week, we have received a lot of donations. Sadly we didn’t reach out the amount we needed so we are gonna have to rearrange trips and miss out on a little bit of the adventures, but we will be still travelling and covering the major events!

It humbles us that so many people are willing to put a little bit of money so we can do our job. We cannot express how eternally grateful we truly are.

It is a strange life, in all honesty. Speaking as the travelling activist within the collective, I never know what’s going to happen next. I never know if I’ll be sleeping under a bridge one night and trying to dumpster dive in the worst supermarket of the area or if an activist will be picking me up from the bus stop and cooking the most delicious meal to then sleep on a sofa in the warm. It gives a chance to the adventure, but it also is a great opportunity to learn how to survive. I wouldn’t change it for anything.

In the next two months, we will visit about 5 countries to be on the front line and bring you the stories as they happen. We will give workshops, train activists, take action and help with infrastructure. We will answer many emails asking for direction in people’s activism and send multiple copies of our prisoner support list. We will do what we are supposed to do on the tightest budget possible because we fucking hate money. I will probably keep eating from the bins because food waste sucks and I will most likely sleep on a bench more than one night, but all that is THANKS to you. You enable us to be able to carry on doing all this. You are saving animals. You are fighting climate change. You are speaking up on gender issues and you are rejecting Nazi scum from neighbourhoods around Europe. You are empowering activists directly and indirectly to become a powerful tool against oppression. You are a fucking heroine!

If anyone feels empowered and capable of joining our Patreon, we would be truly grateful. Thank you again and SEE YOU IN THE NEXT RIOT.
