The Counter Terror Police South-West and the National<br>Security Division couldn\u2019t keep our comrade out of our arms for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t 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.
