Анархічны чорны крыж Беларусь - Anarchist Black Cross Belarus

🤬 Anarchist Igor Olinevich spent his birthday in a punishment cell On September 24, Igor Olinevich turned 43. He spent that day in a punishment isolation cell. Earlier this year Igor was already transferred to a cell-type unit, and he also spent at least a month in SHIZO.

“Remarque said, everyone will have to answer the question: ‘Is it worth remaining human after everything you have been through?’ I answered this question in the affirmative even earlier, turning the consequences over in my head. Since then I have never doubted my decision. I remain human.”

In the last two years, quite a few of our comrades left prison. See what awaits released political prisoners on the outside and why they need even more support than before. 1/2

28 June marks four years of Solidarity Collectives , an activist network from Ukraine supporting anti-authoritarian resistance and people affected by the russian invasion.

We think it is important to preserve the history of our movement, at least in our memories, but also in material objects. The seal is a good evidence of the fact that history repeats itself and once again the people of Ukraine have to stand their ground.

Anti-fascist prisoners released In the spring, after completing their sentences, the anti-fascist prisoners, brothers Timur and Tamaz Pipii, and Denis Boltut, were released!

Like all political prisoners, they were pressured by prison administration: they were cut off visits, and contact with family and friends, and were thrown into solitary confinement. Tamaz Pipia was sent to a punishment cell and received a 1.5-year sentence for "disobeying the administration."

DRINK TO THE DEATH OF DICTATORS 28 June marks four years since the establishment of Solidarity Collectives, an activist network from Ukraine that supports anti-authoritarians who joined the Ukrainian resistance movement and people affected by the russian invasion.

Four years of mourning comrades killed by the russian regime. Four years of pain and times of despair. Four years of celebrating life amid the deadly reality of war. We know for sure that dictators will fall, as they always have historically.

📚 Last weekend, the Baltic Anarchist Bookfair took place in Tartu The event was filled with discussions, workshops, and books, posters, and themed merch. We gave a presentation on the ongoing repression of anarchists and anti-fascists in Belarus. Today, 15 of our comrades remain behind bars.

On 23 April, an infotalk was organised at the Vienna Anarchist Library dedicated to the case of Belarusian "anarcho-partisans", 4 comrades that were sentenced to huge prison terms (19 to 24 years) for attacks on government facilities in 2020.

Attendees learned about the current detention conditions and the convictions of anarchists. 155 euros was collected in donations. We are grateful to the person who volunteered to hold the presentation and the library for hosting the event.

📍 Today is International Day Against Police Brutality. It’s a day of solidarity and resistance, reminding us of police violence and the communities that suffer from it the most. In #Belarus many anarchists have already spent five or more years in prison, where they’ve also faced police abuse.
