In a repressive police operation named "Brushwood", 5 italian anarchist were arrested with the charge of "subversion of democratic order."

They are not directly accused of bomb-lettering EU and Prodi, but of having sent an envelop with 2 bullets to the governor of Umbria (their region), and having damaged some construction sites.
What is true is that ROS (a special team of the Carabinieri law enforcement) and ROS's general Ganzer (charged of narco-traffic a couple of years ago) say this guys are part of the Coop-Fai, which stands for "Against all political order/Informal anarchic federation".

Anyway, 4 of them are 20 yo, only one of the arrested is 45. This means that in 2003, the year when the "FAI informal" attacks took place, most of them were circa 16 yo !!!!

We don't know and dont' care if they are guilty or not.
State is the only terrorist!!!

They openly opposed the exploitation and devastation of their territory, they openly insulted this society and its jails.

Please send'em your support and solidarity:

This morning, Saturday, October 13 [2007], at about 0400 hours, in Bologna, in the general indifference, a girl is stopped and, because her attitude is judged "abnormal", the guardian of order decides to book her into Obligatory Health Treatment [psychiatric].

AN ORDINARY NIGHT OF DEMOCRACY
FIVE COMPANIONS ATTACKED AND ARRESTED

This morning, Saturday, October 13 [2007], at about 0400 hours, in Bologna, in the general indifference, a girl is stopped and, because her attitude is judged "abnormal", the guardian of order decides to book her into Obligatory Health Treatment [psychiatric].

Some individuals in solidarity decide to manifest their opposition, trying to obstruct the police, but the police answered with their weapons, abundant baton strikes and by showing their guns.

A brief escape ends in via S. Vitale, where the police of six patrols unleash their rage upon the handcuffed boys, waking-up some residents who, taking the responsibility to express their indignation, also run the risk of getting arrested.

The accusations against the five are heavy: aggravated robbery (the henchmen have lost their handcuffs), damages (of a vehicle into which the girl was loaded) and resistance. They are in detention and have all been moved to the prison of Dozza.

We know very well what our friends and companions real crimes are: having decided with courage to oppose a world of legal violence where delegation and resignation are pulled into complicity with repression and exploitation.

To the prisoners goes our total total solidarity and affection, conscious that struggling, opposing and raising our heads high is the only possible road to not being complicit with the silence imposed by an assassin society.

FREE!!
