Brazil, Anarchist Federation Gaucha FAG - Do not be
intimidated, not demobilize! All our solidarity with the
companion Vicente! (it, pt) [machine translation]

January 2015, the eve of the resumption of fighting against the increase in travel and in 
defense of a 100% pubic transport in Porto Alegre, received the news of the sentence given 
to his companion Vicente militant FAG and social Fighter Fight block by Transportation 
Public Porto Alegre. Vicente is being sentenced to one year in prison for damage to public 
property and environmental crime, "crimes" he committed in April 2013 during a 
demonstration Fight block opposite the city of Porto Alegre. This is the first conviction 
in Porto Alegre and for us a clear attempt to intimidate and put fear in the group of 
fighters and organizations that are rearticulating struggles in the beginning of 2015. A 
political expediency and history used by the dominant sectors of our city and around the 
world: the incarceration of that rise. Not desmobilizaremos us and our solidarity will be 
militant and in the streets !!!

And the criminalization continues ...

The fact of the conviction in has received only a week before the first year of protest 
Fights block by Public Transportation is anything but a matter of chance or due process of 
the judiciary. It begins the year and at the same time starting to move in the processes 
that were being processed Since 2013: Adding names to some new crimes to others. The 
process in this context seeks to have the same effect as a rubber bullet or a stun bomb: 
an attempt to intimidate and brake the street fights that dare question the profits of 
entrepreneurs and conspiracies already clear of companies with public authorities .

The situation is far from being just a local situation: who thought the criminalization of 
situation had been exhausted due to the decline of street protests after the World Cup in 
2014, the recent movement of governments and repressive apparatus indicate otherwise. In 
S?o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and a number of other cities in Brazil that started the year 
with demonstrations against the increase in bus fares repression has used the same 
expedients against protesters: tear gas, rubber bullets and arbitrary arrests. The Rio 
Rafael Braga Vieira, who was previously the only condemned the protests of June 2013 and 
is being held in Porto Alegre processes are once again moved, new names are added and now 
the first sentence is given without proof. It's the old bourgeois justice by taking part 
in a fight between oppressors and oppressed is far from over.

However, the struggle and organization of low did not start today and will also continue. 
It mobilize young people, workers, the homeless and peripheral communities. The 2013 
street demonstrations have opened up new possibilities in pregnancy organizational 
experience and fight the militant left assembly and anti capitalist need help foster and 
advance discarding the old avant-garde, sectarian and impositive practices that 
unfortunately still permeate discourses and practices of many organizations. We believe 
that the only way we can create social force from below go gestating self-organization 
mechanisms and digging into his horizon the need for social transformation of society as a 
whole. A true front of oppressed and downtrodden solidarity to any fellow prisoner, 
tortured, murdered and disappeared.

2015: advance organization, fencing even mores solidarity fighting!

The selectivity of the penal system also becomes evident in this case. Throughout this 
process that begins with more than a dozen defendants for damages made in a demonstration 
with more than a thousand people, we saw arquivarem one by one all suspects accountable 
the only black boy anarchist ideology that was between the accused and now include other 
black militant PSTU. We know that the main reason of such conviction is of a 
political-ideological but we can not omit the fact that the black color of the accused is 
an important factor.

The latest cases were highlighted as the criminalization against the collective and 
anarchist movements. In 2013, we had invaded our public spaces and our collected books, 
through heavy processes of investigations where it was assessed was our position on issues 
like authority, government, police and other subjects dear to the anarchist ideology. 
Flyers, posters and literature were attached in the processes, like circumstantial 
evidence that showed some role intellectual mentor of our ideology in depredations or 
withdrawals made in the demonstrations of 2013, which had more than 50,000 people in Porto 
Alegre.

The companion Vicente, as well as other militants and fighters from other organizations, 
groups and ideologies, was not the first and will not be the last young black and 
anarchist to be sentenced this racist Brazil. Thousands of black men and women / the poor 
and exterminated and condemned daily by the military police and the bourgeois and racist 
justice. It is to them and them to our militant solidarity is directed and will be next to 
each worker / that cerraremos our fists. We are not intimidaremos and on every street 
march, picket, strike, occupation will be shoulder to shoulder with each and all who fight!

Solidarity to all and all comrades persecuted for fighting!

By the end of the military police!

Our anarchist ideology does not lend itself to caricatures !!!
