The International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners[1] takes place every year between 23-30 August to commemorate the murders of the Haymarket martyrs in Chicago, 1886, who died for freedom, labour rights and dignity.
This year at BASE we’re holding a fund-raising dinner and letter writing event along with a talk by ex-prisoner Toby Shone, who will speak about the international week, the background of Operation Adream*, his own prison experience and the importance of solidarity, as well as the continual need for revolutionary action.
Two years since Toby was snatched[2] for attending an International Week
of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners letter writing event at BASE,
he’s back. The Counter Terror Police South-West and the National
Security Division couldn’t keep our comrade out of our arms for long.
Too many anarchists and activists remain behind bars. Everywhere the authorities are cracking down against dissent and protest. When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free! Come and sign cards, write letters and learn about the anti-prison struggle and the cases of imprisoned anarchists.
Don’t forget about those in prison and if you want to take part, you can show up for a solidarity banner photograph (bring a mask!) after the event, so we can send it to prisoners. Vegan food. Fundraiser for the Anarchist Defence Fund[3].
If Solidarity is Terrorism Then We Are All Terrorists!
Fire to the Prisons!
