Solidarity International

Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners

In summer 2013 members of several Anarchist Black Cross groups discussed the necessity of introducing an International Day for Anarchist Prisoners. Given there already established dates for Political Prisoners Rights Day or Prison Justice Day, we found it important to emphasize the stories of our comrades as well. Many imprisoned anarchists will never be acknowledged as ´political prisoners´ by formal human-rights organizations, because their sense of social justice is strictly limited to the capitalist laws which are designed to defend State and prevent social change. At the same time, even within our individual communities, we know so little about the repression that exists in other countries, to say nothing of the names and cases involving many of our incarcerated comrades.

Until all are free!
