29th January, Zug
“The night of the 29th we liberated 14 individuals from their prison in Zug, Switzerland. Cramped in a really confined space and completely isolated from each other, these creatures survived a torturous existence with only one purpose, to be fattened and murdered for our taste buds.
They didn’t even have names, just numbers. We could not accept it. We saw as our duty to free these creatures from their captivity because non-human animals feel exactly like us and have the same right to live as we do. From now on they will live in a beautiful place where they can fulfil their natural needs.
Two animals are killed every second in Switzerland alone. With this action, we were able to spare 14 lives, but we also see this liberation as a symbolic act. As a call to arms to all animal-liberating beings!
it is possible and necessary to liberate any oppressed sentient being!
Join us! Create your own affinity group! Free the animals!
For animal and human liberation!”

‘Near the Turkish embassy in the centre of Minsk, Belarusian anarchists organized a protest against Erdogan’s agenda.
‘Solidarity from so-called Victoria, Australia, with imprisoned comrades from the Hambach forest occupation in Germany. On January 22nd, cops raided tree houses and barricade structures in the forest, and took 9 people into custody. We took this photo as a small part of the international day of solidarity with the Hambi 9 on February 3rd.
The occupation has for years now been an amazing and inspiring site of resistance against the continued expansion of Europe’s largest coal mine. It is part of a global struggle against ecological destruction brought on by capitalism.
Freedom for eco-defenders everywhere!’

The hunger strike of around 30 prisoners in Sofia prison has ended. A statement has not been released, but it is understood that prisoner direction Krestev has reopened the prison shop. The closing of the prison shop is in fact what sparked the hunger strike.
Despite the ending of the hunger strike, symbolic protests against corrupt and abusive prison director Peter Krestev continue.

Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed the death of Eric Garner at the hands of the NYPD, has been placed in solitary confinement for 60 days. ‘Orta is currently serving a disgusting four-year prison sentence after he was targeted by the NYPD for filming the death of Garner at the hands of the NYPD back in 2014, sparking riots, protests, and uprisings across the US.’
Ramsey is facing relentless targeting and abuse by the prison guards. Since he began serving his ludicrous 4 year sentence, he has been repeatedly assaulted and attacked and placed in solitary confinement on multiple occasions.
‘Someone in Ramsey’s support network visited him and said he looked really pale and was in a bad space. He saying he being continually harassed and violated. Ramsey’s legal support are doing their best, but this abuse is taking a toll on Ramsey, and he needs our support more than ever. We are asking folks to share this post. We are asking folks to write Ramsey and let him know he is not alone.’
PLEASE WRITE TO RAMSEY!!!!

UNTIL EVERY PRISON IS A LIBRARY.
Today we spent the day in front of the Court in Düren. Five of the nine activists arrested and incarcerated during the last barricade eviction in Hambacher Forst were released without charges and still completely anonymous.
The emotions during each and every release were beautifully electrifying. Tears of happiness and relieve run down my cheeks a couple of times when I saw the face of those who I love being free again to feel the air, to listen to the birds, to fight and of course to love.
There are still another four fearless activists locked up behind bars. Don’t forget to write to them and to thank them for their amazing work.
Knowing that this is a very short update, I will leave this as it is because today is a day of love and hugs and not screens.
Rage, love and of course freedom.

We would like to encourage all of you to set some time aside today to write a letter for Sven and Natasha. We do not want either of them to feel alienated, and want them to know that they are not alone. They were so fearless in their involvement in the SHAC campaign, and now we must support the both of them in this period of state repression.
