📚 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.

❗️Anarchist partisans: 2000 days in prison in Belarus Anarchists from the “Black Flag” group — Dmitry Dubovsky, Igor Olinevich, Sergey Romanov, and Dmitry Rezanovich — were detained on the night of October 28–29, 2020.

Nikita Dranets was sentenced to an additional year of imprisonment He was supposed to be released in early March after serving a 6-year sentence. In January, Nikita was convicted of "disobedience to the administration of the colony," which resulted in an additional year being added to his sentence.

📍 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.

🤬 KGB included Siarhei Zhyhaliou, Trafim Barysau, Dzmitry Zakharoshka, Aliaksandra Pulinovich in its “List of persons involved in terrorist activities”. In practice, this means that the anarchists are now prohibited from receiving any money transfers. They were transferred to penal colonies.

We have prepared a short yearly update of the ongoing repression against anarchists in Belarus. See more on our website abc-belarus.org/en/2...

🎨 "Право на восстание" поделились новым рисунком Сергея Романова Сергей Романов - анархист группы "Черное знамя", задержанный в октябре 2020 года. На него постоянно оказывается давление, уже трижды Сергея осудили "за злостное неповиновение", и теперь общий срок его заключения составляет 24,5 года.

🎉 Dear comrades, allies, friends, The outgoing year has not been an easy one. Many of our comrades remain imprisoned in Belarus, where they continue to face unprecedented pressure: they are placed in punishment cells, transferred to prison regimes, and given additional sentences.

💔 Igor Olinevich went on a hunger strike for a month in the penal colony After being transferred from prison to Penal Colony No. 20 this autumn, Igor Olinevich was immediately placed in a punishment cell. It has now become known that the anarchist maintained a hunger strike for a month.

We will have a presentation tomorrow at #39C3 as part of Self Organized Sessions at Stage H at 16:00. The talk will be about the past and future of resistance against the regime of Lukashenko in #Belarus. During the events we will be collecting money for political prisoners in Belarus. #Anarchism

«У турме кім я толькі ні быў»: Акіхіра пра беларускую талерантнасць і сваю маладосць за кратамі Праект «Іншыя» апублікаваў інтэрв’ю з былым палітвязнем-анархістам Акіхіра Гаеўскім-Ханадам.

This year we are again with other anarchist comrades at Chaos Communication Congress in #Hamburg. You can find us at the anarchist village / komona space. We brought merch with us and there will be a talk about the situation in #Belarus with repressions and resistance. #39c3 #Anarchism

Solidarity from Babelsberg 03! The other day we received a letter from Babelsberg antifascists:

Prison punishments demonstrate not only absurd attempts at "disciplining and punishment," but also a manifestation of biopower — control over when a prisoner's body can and cannot move, and punishment for movement or lack thereof at "inappropriate" times.

It's not only criminalised to express any form of dissent in Belarus. Showing solidarity with political prisoners is also punishable, even when it comes from their parents. In the following three examples, you will learn how this form of repression looks like in the case of anarchists.

Марыя Місюк на волі! Сёньня дыктатар «памілаваў» 31 грамадзяніна й грамадзянку Ўкраіны. Сярод іх была й наша таварышка Марыя Місюк — удзельніца групы «Чорныя салаўі».

This year we are once again joining amazing Anarchist Bookfair in Amsterdam with a talk about the current situation with prisoners and why suddenly Trump administration is talking to Lukashenko. Plus infotable. See you this weekend! #Amsterdam #Belarus #Anarchism

Find us at the Amsterdam bookfair! This coming weekend, 22 and 23 November, Amsterdam will host another book fair where you can purchase books published by AHC Belarus.

Part 3 Therefore, we wanted to send our solidarity back to those who speak up in a hostile environment, who organise our events knowing it can lead to loud discussions or cancellations, who create circles for supporting Ukrainian comrades in the context where noone cares or attacks your position

Part 2 What we wanted to focus on is not our exclusion, but the bravery one needs these days to have an opinion in our circles that goes against the mainstream or hegemonic line of thought.

Part 1 Our statements regarding the exclusion of ABC-Belarus and Solidarity Collectives from the Anarchist Convergence and Bookfair in Berlin caused a lot of ripples across Europe and even across the ocean.

Dozens of collectives from different anarchist and antifascists collectives signed the protest/solidarity statement to confront the current partial boycott against collectives from Eastern Europe in EU/West. #Belarus #Ukraine #Solidarity #Anarchism Text available at abc-belarus.org

Reaction to the War in Ukraine in Belarusian Prisons What is it like to be behind bars during a war? Here are a few quotes from released anarchists about their experiences in prison during that time.

🤬 Pavel Shpetny has been sentenced to two more years in prison It became known that on October 8, the court issued a ruling under Part 2 of Article 411 of the Criminal Code against Pavel Shpetny, a defendant in the case of an alleged international anarchist criminal group.

❗️Стало известно, что недавно Сергею Романову сделали операцию Как сообщает "Право на восстание", операция была плановой и прошла без осложнений. Вскоре его вновь должны перевести в колонию. О проблемах со здоровьем Сергея было известно давно, но получить подробности крайне сложно из-за цензуры.

❗️Five years ago anarchists from the “Black Flag” group, Ihar Alinevich, Dzmitry Dubouski, Siarhei Ramanau, and Dzmitry Rezanovich, were arrested in Belarus. They were accused of a series of arsons targeting state property and sentenced to prison terms ranging from 18 to 20 years.

Unfortunately once again we are ending up being excluded from Anarchist Bookfair event in Berlin. And again we find ourselves in need to address the issue that come from that exclusion. The full text of the statement is available at in english and russian abc-belarus.org/en/2...

🤬 Anarchist Aliaksandr Kazlianka sentenced to an additional 1.5 years in prison Recently, Aliaksandr was convicted under Part 2 of Article 411 of the Criminal Code, allegedly for gross disobedience to the administration of Penal Colony No. 1. The court’s decision adds another 1.5 years.

Ihar Alinevich finally arrives at new correctional facility After almost two months of transfer, Ihar Alinevich has reached Correctional Facility No. 20 in Mazyr. Immediately upon arrival, he was placed in a punishment cell.

🎉 Wish anarchist prisoner Aliaksandr Zaitsev a happy birthday! He turns 43 on October 8, his fifth birthday behind bars. Arrested in August 2021 and sentenced to 10 years in a closed trial for an alleged arson attempt on a judge’s dacha. 💌 Send a message online: abc-belarus.org/otpr...
