The 25 November Walk Against Violence Against Women campaign was held in Taksim this year
as it was every year, despite all the police attempts and threats from the police.
The Anarchist Women participated in the traditionally march with theslogan" I am the Best
Woman ". With the black-purple sticks they prepared and "The stick women on the street at
our hands! "Once more with the slogan harassment , rape , the female killer ,
homophobia , transphobia , mobbing; the rise of the cries of rebellion against all kinds
of violence of man-state-capitalism .
Good luck, Woman!
Fortunately, Vars's Women's Solidarity!

There is no longer the famous band of " fusion " (mix of rap and rock) Rage Against The
Machine (RATM), known for its unique music influenced by metal, hip-hop, funk or jazz as
well as for his revolutionary lyrics and clips produced by Michael Moore. Although all
their albums were produced from 1990 to 2000, the year of the band's dissolution, their
story does not stop there. Reformed in 2007, the group gives new concerts until 2011, then
pauses again, for an indefinite period. ---- But it is without counting on the
presidential campaign that sees Donald Trump come to power in the United States ! Out of
the question to leave the monopoly of the media dispute to pro-Clinton Democrats ! Tom
Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, RATM's guitarist, bassist and drummer respectively,
accompanied by Chuck-D, DJ Lord and B-Real, singer and DJ of Public Enemy and singer of
Cypress Hill, mount Prophets of Rage. Public Enemy and Cypress Hill are two veterans of
the militant hip-hop scene in the United States, whose political proximity to RATM is
beyond doubt.
The " super-group " Prophets of Rage has the slogan " Make America Rage Again " (referring
to the nationalist slogan " Make America Great Again " by Trump) and announces campaign
against " shit mountain election" this year ". The songs played during the concerts are
taken from the directories of each of the three groups, the tickets are sold at very low
prices and the profits are donated to committed associations. Revolutionary music yet able
to reach a wide audience is at its best! The American tour is a success and is followed by
a world tour. Prophets of Rage goes up on the French Hellfest stage and his concert is one
of the best of the festival !
This surge of energy will even result in a revival of inspiration and new songs are
composed and unveiled live and on YouTube.

Saturday, December 9th , from 10 am, Rua Mauá, 350, República, São Paulo - SP ---- No
choice is neutral or harmless. Silence and silence practices can be, and very often are,
complicit in who belongs to a select group of privileged people and who can afford not to
reflect on complex issues and who are very expensive for those who occupy the places of
oppression in a capitalist, heteronormative, misogynist and racist society. ---- From the
collective and historical analysis of many groups composed of women that no organization
is exempt from reproducing or co-existing with aggression against us, we believe that it
is time to organize ourselves and stop having as a parameter what is imagined, elaborated
and composed of men, with methods thought and developed by men.
Even because we are quite tired of not finding adequate circulation of material on notes
and realities that relate to anyone who identifies with a libertarian politics, but who
are constantly relegated to women's issues such as domestic violence (practiced by men)
decriminalization of abortion and its consequences (with the participation of men),
compulsory heterosexuality (which benefits the male class), safety methods for women
victims of various types of psychological aggression (by men), among other subjects that
are not included on the anarchist agenda as an essential agenda for the constitution of an
egalitarian society based on freedom and mutual support.We are also tired of finding our
attackers reported year after year quietly circulating while we are forced to withdraw
either through trauma, lack of support, fatigue or constant moral harassment from those
who defend their aggressive partners to the end.
It is therefore in this perspective to harden our hearts against patriarchy, to learn to
kill what we do not wish to collaborate, and with the conviction that strengthening
ourselves among our own is the best solution to many issues that are even addressed in
mixed spaces, we organize the I Anarchist Women's Fair of São Paulo .
We have as basic principles mutual support and political solidarity among women, the
greatest possible reduction of the existence of hierarchies, direct action and
self-organization as self-management practices, antipatriarchalism and anti-racism.
All women who want to build with us in any way they can, are welcome. Just get in touch by
the page, the website or the email. Strength for all of us and we follow in the resistance!

We, the undersigned, express shock and dismay at the mindset and functioning of the police
and the state government in the case of Indramal Bai's suicide. Distraught and with no way
out from the police pressures, she was forced to take this extreme step. We believe that
it is a clear case of institutional murder of Indramal Bai by M. P. Government. ----
Indramal Bai was a waste-picker from the Pardhi community. She lived in Gandhi Nagar basti
in Bhopal (M.P.) with her two young children. Her husband was living separately for the
past 10 years. She was forced to take her life due to continuous harassment for over a
week by three policemen named Gajraj, Jadhav and Sandeep from the local Gandhi Nagar
Police Station. These policemen were trying to extort money by threatening to register a
criminal case of theft against her. They did not relent even after repeated pleas by
Indramal of her innocence and her inability to give any money. On the fateful day (Friday,
17th November 2017), the corrupt policemen visited her house thrice. By the end of it, she
was so desperate that she poured kerosene on herself. As she caught fire, the two went
away saying that these Pardhis can do all the dramas of the world. Indramal's relatives
ran to save her but she already had over 60% burns when admitted to the Hamidia Hospital.
She breathed her last in the intervening night of Sunday and Monday (20th November 2017 at
12:40 a.m.)
It has been reported in the media that Indramal Bai, in her dying declaration to the
Magistrate, has said that she had accidentally caught fire when she was burning the scrap.
We believe that this kind of testimony has been deliberately written to protect the
police. The accused policemen were roaming around the hospital and were in the ward itself
where Indramal was admitted. We have doubts on how the questions were asked and how the
replies were documented. Her family members' testimonies as well as her own video
testimonies available clearly show that she was pushed to take the extreme step of trying
to end her life. Moreover, the Investigation Officer made no effort to take Indramal Bai's
testimony again while she was alive.
On 20th Nov, a group of residents of the basti along with members of several progressive
groups in the city protested in front of the Madhya Pradesh Police Head Quarters.
Parallelly, an independent fact-finding team met the ADG, Crime against Women, Aruna Mohan
Rao and DIG, Sudhir Lad to raise the issue of police apathy and non-registration of FIR,
as well as the larger issue of police atrocities on vulnerable groups in the city. While
they were assured that justice shall be served, no orders have yet been issued to register
an FIR against the accused policemen. The three accused have also not been served
suspension orders, and only two of them have been merely line-attached.
Subsequently, residents of the basti and several concerned people staged a non-violent
dharna outside Gandhi Nagar police station. They demanded that an FIR must be registered
against the three policemen whose illegal, inhuman and cruel act prima facie forced
Indramal Bai to take the extreme step. The police officers said that they will decide the
course of action once the police enquiry into the incident is completed. Thus, even the
basic right to file an FIR was not heeded despite the fact that it was the third day of
filing the complaint.
Registering an FIR is a constitutional right of every citizen. In the recent gruesome
gang-rape case of the 19 year old girl, the Bhopal District Court has clearly ordered that
the police station cannot refuse registering of FIR under any circumstances and no excuse
can be tolerated in reference to non-registration of FIR. The Gandhi Nagar police's excuse
that they will register the FIR only after the investigation is completed is a violation
of the Constitution.
Though people were sitting in a peaceful way and negotiating with the police functionaries
present on the spot, when ASP Sameer Yadav reached the site, he started manhandling the
activists and provoked the people. He pushed Alok Agrawal, State Convener for Aam Aadmi
Party and pushing him on the ground, told the police to arrest him. As this unfolded,
stone pelting started from both sides. Even while present sangathan activists and family
members of the victim tried to calm the people, the police recklessly carried out a
violent lathi-charge seriously injuring many people.
The arrest of Alok Agarwal, while demanding for an FIR registration within the thana
premises, is a completely illegal act. Refusal to give bail because of political pressure
is an illegal interference of the government in legal matters of the court.
Madhya Pradesh government has adopted a silent stand on the institutional murder of
Indramal Bai. The inaction of police functionaries on a constitutional demand of
registering of an FIR shows the deplorable condition of the state we are living in today.
We are forced to say that the police response in the matter has been not only unlawful but
gravely insensitive and cruel towards a community which has already been violated for
decades. We are also shocked and pained to see the callous attitude of the police towards
crimes against women. Moreover to protect the illegal and deplorable actions of its own
men, the police is resorting to defaming Indramal by spreading news in media of past cases
against her. This situation will have to change.
We demand that the state government should -
Register n FIR against the three accused police personnel and take strong, immediate and
exemplary action in this incident,
Take action against police officers involved in suppressing and delaying justice by not
taking timely testimonies from Indramal Bai and her relatives.
Initiate a high-level enquiry in the matter of the institutional murder of Indramal Bai
Release Alok Agarwal immediately, without any conditions
Ensure human rights and democratic rights of Pardhis and other denotified tribes in the
state. The repeated violations of rights of these communities in the hands of the police
need to be handled firmly and the government has to take steps beyond tokenism and ensure
lawful conduct of its functionaries.
