CURRENT SITUATION OF THE THREE MATES IMPRISIONED IN VALENCIA ( 9.2.03) - ENGLISH
 
[Kontrainfos València]
After almost 4 month of preventive imprisonment, when after approximately
at two month in jail a strict regime called FIES was applied over them and
after the High Provincial Court pronounced against the freedom of the
imprisoned mates, the relatives and their fellows continue waiting that
the Audiencia Nacional (the High National Court in charge of terrorist
"crimes") pronounces about the case, stopping this psychological torture
that are suffering our imprisoned mates, their families, and their
friends. Meanwhile we wait the pronunciation of the Audiencia Nacional, new
repressive measures have been applied against this prisoners, with a more
strict FIES regime than usually (FIES is a especial control regime).
The fact of being a prisoner impedes of several things.
Usually the things that a relative can bring to a prisoner are: clothes,
books, music tapes (transparent ones), letters, and not too much else. The
other stuff they need they have to buy it at the prison's shop. That's is
not very cheap and its a business inside the jail. You cannot give paper
for writing to the prisoners because they can buy it there.
 
The day in prison basically is composed of courtyard, gym, lunch and
dinner, workshops and classes. You have to apply for everything and wait
for a permission, excepting the lunch and the dinner, of course. Since they
are in FIES all has changed: The prison removed the option to go
to classes or workshops, only remaining the courtyard time, the gym and
the meals. The friends are not allowed to visit them without an
authorization from Madrid, thing that slows the stream of visits. That
means that since the last month until march only the relatives are able to
visit them. And the relative's visit is also being repressed, with the
question of
personal data and ID every call, with restrains for the communication
permissions, even disauthorizing the visit of any relative. All the letters
are intercepted, read and censored, with a delay of the process that could
be of a month.
 
The last repressive fact applied over our partners are the night visits to
the cells. Since some days ago they are visited every our by warders who
spy them by the window, just for check that everything is in "order".
This lack of respect to this person's intimacy has been denounced by the
same prisoners.
 
>From here we want to denounce not only the non justified and excessive
remaining of this three guys in jail, we want to denounce the application
of the FIES regime which tortures and makes more inhuman the life in
prison. It shows the true face of the penitentiary system, far away of the
false pretended rehabilitation goal.
We denounce this political and juridical mount, with the close
collaboration of the media. It doesn't finish with the imprisonment of
this three guys, it includes a criminalization of all social movements
that are critical with the system.
 
Relatives and mates.

LET’S FIGHT REPRESSION  (26.01.2003) - ENGLISH
 
The repression that has been unleashed in Valencia against the social movements that are critic towards the system demonstrates once more the impunity judges, public prosecutors and police act with, with the taxes, the laws and the frame-ups they use to maintain this "free democracy", while they smash anyone who tries to resist their attacks. Right now there are three persons in jail for being coherent with their ideas. Land speculation, promoted by those with power who profit from it, make the big construction companies and real state agencies take advantage of this, leaving us defenseless in front of the capitalist abuses. Because of this situation a lot of people find themselves without a job or a shit of a job, and in this conditions a house means a mortgage for a lot of years. This aggression on workers remains unpunished, because it is protected by law, and if you try to rebel against it you’ll end up in prison, because prison and repression are the only language that the State uses to silence the claims of the citizens. Four youths have been in prison for more than a hundred days, victims of a police, press and judicial frame-up. On Tuesday November 26th one of them was released, whose freedom cost him 4.000 euros ( one euro is around $ 1.00). The other three are still in prison under the FIES-3 regime, having access only to the gym but having their right to join other prison activities neglected, having restricted, as well, their post and banned all kinds of visits but the ones with their family. Now the case is in hands of the Audiencia Nacional (this is the court that trials “terrorism” in the Kingdom of Spain), after the Audiencia Provincial (area court) has refused to let them free. This case is being politically used, because the court is not judging actions but making a campaign against anarchist ideas and against those who carry them on. The proofs are not solid, they are labeled as terrorists the fact of having books, pictures, posters, newsletters...Smashing the fundamental right of freedom of expression. We demand the immediate release of these people who are in jail with no proofs and because of an obvious frame-up. We are anarchists, not criminals, and the real delinquents are those who force us to survive while they are making themselves richer. Nor their repression, nor their prisons, nor their laws will stop our struggle against any authority and for freedom. ¡¡MUERTE AL ESTADO, VIVA LA ANARQUIA!!

COMBATTIAMO CONTRO LA REPRESSIONE (26.01.2003) - ITALIANO
 
La repressione messa in atto a Valencia contro il movimento sociale critico verso il sistema dimostra una volta di più l’impunità con la quale agiscono giudici, magistrati, poliziotti e politici che attraverso le loro tasse, le loro leggi e le loro maontature si adoperano per il mantenimento di quella che essi definiscono una "democrazia libera" e nel contempo distruggono chiunque tenti di resistere ai loro attacchi.
 
Proprio in questo momento tre persone sono in prigione per essere state coerenti con le loro idee. La speculazione edilizia, promossa da chi ha il potere e trae guadagno da essa, ha avvantaggiato i grandi costruttori e le grandi agenzie immobiliari, lasciandoci indifesi di fronte agli abusi del capitalismo. A causa di questa situazione è successo che molte persone sono rimaste senza lavoro o svolgono un lavoro di merda, e ci siamo ipotecati un sacco d’anni futuri.Questa aggressione ai danni dei lavoratori rimarrà impunita, perché protetta dalle leggi e se proverete a ribellarvi contro di essa sarete sbattuti in prigione, perché prigione e repressione sono l’unico linguaggio usato dallo Stato per azzittire le rivendicazioni della gente di strada.
 
Quattro giovani sono stati incarcerati per più di cento giorni, vittime di una montatura poliziesca, mass-mediatica e giudiziaria. Martedì 26 novembre uno di loro è stato rilasciato, la sua libertà è costata 4.000 € (L. 7.745.080). Gli altri tre restano in prigione sotto il regime FIES-3, possono accedere solo alla palestra e qualsiasi altro tipo di attività all’interno della prigione gli è vietato, subiscono restrizioni nella corrispondenza e possono ricevere visite esterne solo da parte dei parenti più stretti. Ora il caso è passato nelle mani dell’Audiencia nacional perché la Audiencia provincial di Valencia ha negato loro la libertà.
 
Questo caso è usato come strumento politico, giacché la corte non sta giudicando delle azioni, bensì sta montando una campagna contro le idee libertarie e contro coloro che si ribellano. Le prove su cui si basa non sono per nulla solide e qualificano come reato di terrorismo il possesso di libri, foto, poster e pubblicazioni ... violando il più elementare diritto alla libertà di espressione.
 
Chiediamo la libertà immediata delle persone incarcerate senza prove in seguito a questa palese montatura politica. Siamo anarchici non criminali. Gli unici criminali e veri delinquenti sono coloro che ci obbligano a sopravvivere mentre si arricchiscono alle nostre spalle
 
Nessuna repressione, nessuna prigione, nessuna legge fermerà la nostra lotta contro ogni forma di autorità e per la libertà.
 
¡¡MORTE ALLO STATO, VIVA L’ANARCHIA!!

NEWS ON THE PROCESS AGAINST THE THREE ANARCHIST PRISIONERS IN VALENCIA (26.02.2003) - ENGLISH


Since the Provincial High Court refused the provisional freedom, different
changes have been happening.
Just after the judicial decision, a new visits restriction was applied over
our mates. Now only the direct relatives are able to visit them.
On January 25th, the judge of the 2nd court of Valencia sent the case to the
Audiencia Nacional (High Court in charge of the crimes related to
"terrorism"). But after 15 days the Audiencia Nacional didn't receive the indictment.
The reason was a supposed judge's mistake. He sent the papers to another court
in Madrid (Plaza de Castilla). This is delaying the possibility of  a
pronouncement by the Audiencia Nacional about if they take the case or if they send
it back to Valencia. This is extending the period of remaining in prison of
our three mates.
The case is now in the hands of Judge Ruiz de Polanco.  If he accepts it,
then the most probably thing is that our friends are going to be moved to a
Prison in Madrid, so the judge will be able to take them an statement and to
manage the case from there.
If Ruiz de Polanco doesn't accept the case, it would be sent back to
Valencia to the same court that started with it. The prisoners would be judged by
Public Disorders, Damages, and Illicit Association but without terrorist goals,
in the same way happens with the injuries.

Two days after that the case was sent to Madrid, with the indictment already
closed, the police made public a report with supposed  license number plates
and addresses of journalists. The police said that information was found in
the registers in the houses at the very beginning.
Nobody knows if this information will go into the indictment, because it is
not legal.
Inside the indictment we can find whatever related with the solidarity acts
with the prisoners, including all kind of counter information media
(newspapers, 'zines, webs, etc.) The police is investigating the Barrios newspaper -
local counter information newspaper of Valencia-, Nodo50 -alternative internet
server-, chentolos -web site about our mates-...
It also includes lots of pictures of graffiti and sabotages made against
this manipulation made by the police and the media. Related to this case, it is
going to be a trial against two people arrested when they  were making
graffiti.
 



TEXT WRITEEN BY ONE OF THE THREE IMPRISIONED ANARCHIST IN PICASSENT-VALENCIA (03.04.2003) - ENGLISH
03/04/03 Contra Infos Valencia

About the imprisoned squatters

It's difficult begin to write this lines, trying to express. Explaining myself with the boundaries created by words, concepts and meanings its an impossible work, but I am facing it with one purpose. I wish this text is going to be useful for watching some points about our "issue". The imprisoned squatters.
I talk and write in my name. This lines are the result of a personal debate, of a meeting with my mirror.
Like happened in other moments, a part of our struggle, becomes a part of the mediative-judicial-policial show and we enter into "unknown" dimensions. The Spectacle World.
It happened with the eviction of the Princesa Theater and it's happening now with the imprisoned squatters.
Aside the stroke we received, we see how we were and are stroked by several kinds of newspaper's headlines and by all that chameleonic opportunists that appear by magic art in the "alternative" scene. We didn't were only stroked by the police. We received another political or ideological stroke. It's difficult for us to locate in a stage were we finished being main characters and began to be puppets. It's difficult to see how little by little some threat are growing in our wrists and our movements look like manipulated, artificial. Maybe it's a lack on definition (What we are, what we want) because the true is that meanwhile lots of the people who are taking profit of our case are showing their label, that's difficult for us. Maybe it's fear, fear of be divided, because if we say that we are anarchists, we are going to be less people. It's cooler saying we are a Social Movement and, in this way everybody can be included, until the king because he is a part of a social movement, although that movement is the one which is smashing our head.
I don't want, from here, people who don't declare themselves as anarchist and chants loudly "A las Barricadas" stop going to the meetings. What I think is that sometimes we don't have clear ideas or we don't dare of expressing that ideas. In that sense we give to much importance to what the media are going to say, as if ever we had confidence with them or with the support of any party or sect. We can include the main line of the campaigns for getting a better public image of us (weren't We invisible?).
Claiming for the "innocence" of the retaliated it's usually the result of the stroke of those who talk about culpability, terrorists... It means we are following their stream, or in a better way, we are in their trailer. We must be serious and sincere also. WE PISS OFF ALL THEIR LAWS.
