Despite the oppressions like exile, naked body search, cameras in cells, banning of
letters and visitors, blocking vegan food Osman Evcan, didn’t took a step back and he has
started his indefinite hunger strike starting from the 22 February, 2016. Because fear,
submission and consenting, crushes the bodies under the heaviness of power of the state.
State’s efforts to depersonalize political individuals with systematic pressures, should
be smashed under Osman’s resistance. There is no middle way with the state who is
establishing the policy of eliminating the prisoners on price-punishment order. Osman
Evcan’s struggle is towards the authority. Only way to prove that he does not obey the
authority, he does not accept the authority, is to setting forth his body. They can only
destroy and divide political identities with murder, not with prison practices.
We summon everyone to share Osman Evcan’s struggle, who is fighting against state,
surveillance and control, whether outside or inside.
Insurrection is essential for freedom to come into leaf.
Fire to the cells!

Here Labour come again, back on our doorsteps to test the waters, to see if we're still
mad about the past 5 years of their governance, to find out if we can remember every
attack they made against us, probably in the hope that there have been so many that maybe,
just maybe, we'll only remember a few. A party riddled with so much contempt and disdain
for us that they genuinely believe they can convince us that things will be different this
time. They bombard us with sentences along the lines of "You will get X, Y and Z with
Labour in government". ---- Crudely, they tell us that one of the things we can expect
from them is a referendum on the 8th amendment, with top-notch propaganda to go along with
that promise, propaganda painting them as pro-woman and pro-choice. There is no propaganda
effective enough to cover up the war that they have waged on women for the past 5 years.
Eight separate cuts to lone-parents families (98% of whom are women) have ensured that 56%
are in a state of deprivation. Labour then tell these women if their child is over 7 they
must "get a job or kiss goodbye to the meagre allowance we bestow upon you", meanwhile
childcare facilities are closing down and the state has no interest in providing any
assistance.
Labour then, gleefully strip these women and families of their dignity by leaving them to
choose between starvation or a visit to the soup kitchen in a throwback to Victorian times.
Those who do manage to get a job can expect to earn 14% less than what a man would in the
same role, something of no concern to the so-called "Labour" Party.
They then arrogantly attempt to taunt us further through taking credit for the Marriage
Equality referendum - as if we're ignorant enough to believe that the referendum happened
through the goodness of their hearts as opposed to the hard work of dedicated activists
for nearly a decade.
Daringly, they boast that they Legislated on X. They do this while hoping that no one
brings up that Savita Halappanavar was murdered by an abortion law that they upheld, and
that if not for her unnecessary death and the outrage that followed they never would have
done anything about the X Case.
They tell us they'll Repeal the 8th while in the same breath they sing the praises of the
Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act (PLDPA) which made abortion punishable by up to 14
years in jail.
A law they crafted to be so repelling and complex that only the most desperate would try
to use it and when such a situation presented itself Ms Y was given the only care that a
misogynistic state can give. They hope we'll forget that the PLDPA allowed for the Irish
State to torture Ms Y.
They hope it has slipped our minds that they voted against Clare Daly's bill to allow for
abortions in a minority of circumstances. They had an opportunity to give us something
after all the hits we took and instead they sent Daly packing.
After five years of this, here we are, covered in scars and battle wounds inflicted upon
us by Labour, and here they are, at our doorsteps telling us they will repeal the 8th. How
dare they even utter those words.
If there is anything true about politics it is the slogan we have all chanted at rallies
we have had to attend to protest their laws: Labour Lie - Women Die.

Recent years have emerged in various countries important social movements that were a real
radical both in their forms at the level of their demands. Come discuss on March 17 in
Nimes with the Anti-Capitalist Network Autogestionaire (RAAGE) and AL Gard. ---- In
Greece, a country in crisis, battered people blocked the country through different days of
general strike. He intended to discard the chains that the EU imposed on him ... ---- In
Spain, in an equally crisis countries with an unemployment rate exceeding 30%, the
Indignant Movement that appeared on the slogan "They do not represent us." Rejecting the
ruling parties, leaders in their eyes of the crisis, the Popular Party (right and far
right) and the Socialist Party, the Indignant Movement had spread like wildfire. He
multiplied all over the Iberian Peninsula: Huge turnout, occupations of squares of major
cities, direct action against the evictions of tenants ...
In Tunisia, echoing the revolts that washed over several countries in North Africa and the
Middle East (Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco), the people put down with the bloody
dictator Zine elAbidine Ben Ali and his clique.

The results, unfortunately, these movements full of hope where people took their destinies
in hand, are disappointing final:
In Greece the illusion that the government of Syriza Alexis Tsirpas can stand up to the
Troika and Merkel has been forgotten. Waivers Waivers after Syriza has become a party that
manages the crisis, accept the rules imposed by Brussels and abandoned in the space of a
few months, hope to make any social alternative to the people ...
In Spain, it is the Podemos Party Pablo Iglesias who intends to represent the illusion
that another politics is possible against the capitalist juggernaut. Although not yet
having been sifted through the exercise of power, it is quite obvious that Podemos,
despite the enormous popular support it raises, will not meet expectations. Already, his
dealings with the Socialist Party suggest a series of denials from him on the most radical
aspects of his political program. What's also not without causing serious internal turmoil
in the party of Pablo Iglesias.
In Tunisia, it is the Islamist Ennahda and former executives of the Plan that are leading
the way since the fall of Ben Ali.
Based on the analysis of situations in the three countries, we can therefore ask ourselves
a question: While social movements existed and qu'émergeait the prospect of a radical
change in society, why do we attended in all three cases, a diversion and confiscation of
popular anger?
The Anti-Capitalist Network self-management (RAAGE) invites you to discuss these issues!

Once again, the only response that consider the government deal with the situation in the
Calais area is the removal of a refugee camp, and dispersal. It pretends to address the
real causes of the problem; but in reality, by attacking the victims doomed to disperse in
fear, this policy only makes the move and worse. This "solution" is not one. ---- The
eight organizations have sent an open letter to Bernard Cazeneuve asking him to postpone
the evacuation programmed much of the "jungle" of Calais, the Interior Minister has sent a
response that is end of inadmissibility: it justifies its decision to blows about
incantatory on respect for the fundamental rights of migrants and the policy merits that
do not change for years, despite their evident failure; and he reminded the associations
their "partnership" with the state as to involve in politics it is challenging. In the
process, the Prefecture of Pas-de-Calais has just published a decree ordering the
occupants of the southern area of the slum, the 'Lande "to leave Tuesday, February 23 at
the latest.
Bulldozers can not replace policy. This obviously implies not accommodate us in a "jungle"
whose name says it all. No one would accept the continued state of Calais shanty town, nor
the Grande-Synthe camp, or any other. No one can be satisfied to see refugees forced to
survive in such places.

For years, we will also cease to denounce the indignity of such living conditions, as also
Jacques Toubon, the Defender of Rights, last summer. More recently, the Lille
Administrative Court even ordered the state to carry out emergency improvements, decision
upheld by the State Council.
However, there is no question of condoning the evacuation announcement, not only because
it is inhuman, but also because it will not solve anything. Drive out the inhabitants of a
large part of the slum, there pass bulldozers and destroy everything in insecurity and
with the means at hand, was built over the months: why bother?

Solidarity with migrants: Calais, symbol of an era
Migrants who are in the Calais region often want to join relatives in Britain. Others are
entitled to seek asylum in France but they do not always know or they are wary of the
welcome reserved for them. Others expect a response to their request. Among them, there
are many children ... But for several categories of migrants, there are solutions included
in the texts, with features, the actors, the funds allocated for this purpose. They could
have been implemented long ago.
Rather than tackle it, the government preferred to conduct "dismantling" successive. In
2015, they forced the migrants dislodged and to settle in a "managed" area for them. In
short, they have already defeated what was done, forcing those they hunted to live in a
more precarious still.
Today, the main part of the State slum Calais consists of tents and rough shelters, built
by refugees with volunteer associations. In these few square kilometers are gradually born
cafes or restaurants makeshift, tiny grocery stores, places of worship of different
religions, all small schools, a theater marquee, a legal aid hut, several vested places to
care, etc. Many social spaces, shared by refugees of different nationalities in the slum.
cc malachybrowne
What justifies shave it all? The minister wants to convince that this is for the good of
the occupants. In reality, it is a policy of deterrence: make life unlivable for refugees.
To those that have settled in this area yesterday, authorities urge for weeks to fill
containers - kinds of office container systems - or otherwise be scattered far from
Calais, in CAD (shelters and orientation), called "respite places."
But this is an impossible alternative.
Minister touts containers, which under his pen seems bungalows for guests. The fact is
that this site cabins with bunk beds in each for twelve people, which we can only be
standing or lying down; any furniture installation is forbidden, not any privacy ...
On CAD, the Minister welcomed what they allow migrants through "associative quality
support" and "special monitoring" of people to file applications for asylum in good
conditions, which was not the case in the slum. "At last count," he writes, "80% of
remaining CAD migrants were engaged in an asylum process" ... He forgets to mention those
who set hotel, are deprived of any support and risk an upcoming deportation. It also fails
to mention that the CAD has been designed as very short-term solutions; after closing,
what will happen to people who have been sent there?
Containers, CAD; expulsion, dispersion; these responses will only worsen the plight of
migrants without setting provided the problem facing the Calais region, nor in his time
the closure of the Sangatte camp. And in one year, we will replay the same scene. For it
is above all the inaction of the authorities, but their action, which, by creating
impossible living conditions, places an unmanageable situation. The government wants us to
believe he is on the side of the people against refugees; in fact, it goes first against
the latter by abandoning each other.
cc malachybrowne
We must stop hunt jungle shantytown in all the world's misery, persecution which only
exasperated the resentment of the "residents". No, the plight of migrants will not make
the happiness of the French, nor elsewhere in Calais. In fact, let deteriorate the
situation is more painful for the people of Calais, and also more expensive for the
government, that is used to improve it. The most basic humanity forbids the destruction
repeatedly; but our best interest as well.
This country can he be satisfied to become the non-home champion, while refugees are less
numerous than elsewhere? What other countries are doing already, France must be able to.
Britain, which has a great responsibility in this situation, must also review its position
on this border. We must end the perpetual improvisation; it's time to think in the long
term. And if the state does not do its job, we will work there ourselves - with the
associations in the field, with the inhabitants of Calais and with refugees.
The next few days we will go to Calais to brag: we are not condemned to choose between the
"jungle" and its destruction. We refuse to reduce France to the barbed wire and
bulldozers. We will hold a press conference. We want to hear another speech that the
public authorities that occupy the media. Destroy, said the Prefect? With, without or
against the State if necessary, you would have to build a good future.
Once again, we, the undersigned organizations and individuals in solidarity, asking:
that is canceled the deportation order on February 19;
Emergency: a respectful individual care of the fundamental rights of people currently
present in Calais;
a discussion of the Dublin Regulation III and Le Touquet agreements;
more broadly, that France finally committed, particularly by promoting this axis within
the EU, for a true policy of welcoming migrants.

The last time the building of Europe - Fortress shaken by the millions of uprooted
attempting to escape from areas where war, destruction and death constitute the social
routine. - A routine created and imposed the powerful capitalist nations of the West to
extend their domination and to perpetuate the existing exploitative and oppressive system.
- With military and economic conflicts, the intervention in shaping the political scene,
with the fomenting of religious fanaticism - in line with the interests of the dominant
economic and political elite composed in the Middle East, Africa, Asia a violent
oppression scenery , poverty, poverty, massive social inequality and leveling entire
cities and villages, resulting in impoverished masses of dead and displaced.
Member States and the rulers of Europe - intensifying the despair of those who have forced
to flee from their places and are fighting for their survival-erect fences, put troops and
launch port bodies in order to hinder and prevent the entry of refugees and immigrants in
the West As a result thousands of people drowning in the Mediterranean and to leave their
last breath during this dyskolou trip.
With the overall crisis of capitalism to deepen and modern totalitarianism to be the
stable state movement pattern and capital, the state of emergency and the state of exception
applied and developed through the management of refugee and migratory flows. Already in
the early 21st century, the European Union is organized to prevent entry of those who try
to escape from the future that their capitalism has built. The armoring company European
border started at the same time when the "civilized" West was trying to do export
democracy. The consequences of the wars in former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
should be addressed. Only part of the grid protection of the state - capitalist system of
interest is the Dublin agreement 2 was passed in 2003 and the creation of FRONTEX military
body in 2004.
After the war in Syria huge refugee and immigrant wave created and moved from the wider
war zone to the west broke Europe - Fortress. The measures taken by the rulers seemed
inadequate to safeguard their interests so attempts to reformulate and transformation, as
in the case of Dublin 2 and the Schengen Treaty. Furthermore FRONTEX reinforced -with huge
amounts of money to be given for further equipment and expanding more and more of its
functions as it may intervene where necessary to ensure the watertight and the return of
those "unwanted" manage to enter Europe -, the hot spots are created and progressing in
opening and other concentration camps.
The shield strategy of western borders of the sovereign is not detached from the
subordination conditions who want to impose within Western societies. Under the pretext of
a large number of refugees and immigrants entering the European metropolises diffuse with
even greater intensity racism -kalliergontas social ekfasismo- spread a climate of fear
and terror to local communities in order to achieve the allilofagoma the exploited and
move any new measures " security ", that new measures will lead to even more suffocating
control and restriction of the oppressed. Additionally, over the management of the influx
of refugees and migrants invest their older designs. This is also illustrated by the
recent agreement between Europe and the USA for NATO presence in the Aegean. While on the
one manifested the good cooperation of the upper back when want to face whoever shake the
foundations of their rule, but primarily this agreement is a movement by which the "great
powers" up battle position, for asserting their interests, the war has already begun.
The Greek landscape is one where with particular sharpness unfold all these designs.
State, inter-state institutions and suppression units together to defend Europe -
Fortress, to prevent massive and uncontrolled entry of the oppressed, to those who can
resend back, but also to create their alliances. The spurious humanitarian rhetoric of the
Greek state, like all other states have adopted similar tactics, forgotten very quickly as
soon as circumstances demanded. As happened in Mytilene and Kos with the harbor and the
cops to exhibit the misanthropic and anti-social face of capitalism. The events also in
Idomeni which declared a state of emergency and piled refugees and migrants but also in
solidarity met with arrests, tear gas and wood, show the true ratio. Essentially, all the
while, the Greek state engaged in repression, sorting and deporting immigrants, building
fences, hotspots and concentration camps, the widespread use of which is not at all
accidental, as in this way the restriction is achieved, control and repression of entire
populations. We see people from Morocco, Syria, Bangladesh, Somalia and elsewhere to leave
their homes to spend any fortune have to risk their lives to find themselves on the
inmates and restricted substance or to occupy the way up the continuation of the journey,
providing a residence permit or forcible return.
Against the plans of state and capitalists has developed a strong social stream for
immediate help millions of refugees and migrants arriving. Although promoted through the
media of the uprooted division into useful and unnecessary, then their identification with
the problem and their characterization as an internal enemy, manifested practical gestures
of solidarity and mutual aid. Against social cannibalism promoted from above, the world of
the race trying in every way to stand next to refugees and immigrants. From collecting
relief items until squats roof. Moves constantly expanding and which at the moment is
really necessary for the survival of these people. Creating even solidarity structures
-both at entry points, such as Mytilini, but also in the centers of big-city results be
treated to some extent the immediate needs but also questioning the state monopoly to
manage social problems. For these reasons, moreover, have been attacked or threats these
structures by state mechanisms. Particularly important is the fact that more and more
refugees and immigrants moving in resistance movements and struggle, realizing that by the
above given nothing for granted and to have the slightest need to reclaim. >From the
organization's efforts in the detention centers and hunger strikes by lowering them on the
road and their presence in solidarity movements. It is particularly important to link all
of these movements in the broader struggle against state and capitalism. Why the uprooting
of so many millions of people is the result of state - capitalist system and only with the
overthrow of the can end to violent evictions, wars, looting, exploitation, poverty and
obedience. Together therefore must be first and the internationalist class solidarity and
fight against state and capitalist barbarism to abolish borders and artificial separations
that dominance requires us. From our side as anarchists must sharpen our struggle for a
world without states, papers, borders and exploitation. Preceded and move on the path of
solidarity among all the oppressed. We build relationships and structures that promote the
vision of a society of equality, justice and freedom.
