Defend Direct Action
4th December, Sweden.
“A toilet at McMurder in Landskrona, Sweden got sabotaged. The piping in the
sink got stuffed with paper towel, something that’ll cost them money to
fix. The walls were sprayed with messages like ‘Die animal abusers’, ‘meat
is murder’ and ALF-logos.
Smash speciesism – kill animal abusers!
DEFEND ANIMALS”

Johan Dalén, CEO of fur propaganda company ‘Svensk Mink’ has stepped down from his position after being targeted with sabotage and threats by the ALF.
As well as a stream of colourfully worded letters and phone calls made to Johan, his home and card have also been repeatedly targeted. He has now decided to resign from his post after 7 years.
Johan has played a huge role in portraying activists in Sweden as terrorists, as well as spreading effective propaganda promoting fur farming as an environmentally friendly and ethical practice.
In an anonymous statement published by the ALF they have said:
“Johan Dalén has managed to hold the crumbling fur industry together. Now that he is gone and out of the way the fur industry in Sweden is vulnerable. The ALF are ready to strike.
Bye bye, Johan Dalén! You will not be missed”
In other news, on the 11th of December 4 activists from the group Djurfront faced charges in court. They have been accused of trespassing and disturbing the peace during a protest at the mink farm in Falkenberg, which has seen an increased amount of resistance from activists over the past year. The verdict will be reached on the 27th of December and if found guilty, those accused will receive a fine. We will of course post updates when more information is available, but for now we send solidarity to those facing charges within the group.

News arrive from our comrades in Switzerland. Three people are in preventive prison accused of property destruction in relation to multiple actions against speciesist business after a wave of window breaking in Switzerland. They will be held for a whole month before seeing the judge, even though the police has no evidence that links them with the butcher windows targeted or any other actions. They are being isolated in order to keep them away from news, they are not allowed to receive letters and the lawyers have warned that more arrests are still possible.
Meanwhile, an activist involved in a slaughterhouse blockade and open rescue of goats early this year has received their sentence and has to pay 10,000 Swiss francs in total. They have a gofundme and it would be appreciated if people donate and share as much as possible.

It is in times like this, when the state clamps down with repression overwhelmingly higher than the judges action that we need to realise they must be scared of the tactics. And it is in times like this that we should show solidarity the most.
FIRE TO ALL PRISONS. FREEDOM TO ALL PRISONERS!
