Update Andreas Krebs: Die Anstaltsleitung hat Andreas verarscht – der Hungerstreik geht doch weiter!

Noch vorgestern (28.02.24) teilte uns Andreas höchst erfreut mit, dass die Anstaltsleitung nach 30 Tagen Hungerstreik Zugeständnisse gemacht hat.

Elephant in the room – Nine month after uprising in Belarus #28

In August 2020 the uprising against dictator Lukashenko started in Belarus, already before the re-election. After the falsified elections thousands of people went to the streets and were protesting for month. The regime hit back with massive violence. While at the beginning people were building barricades and fought the cops back, the liberals were calling for peaceful protest.

Elephant in the room – conversation with anarchists from Russia on „Freedom to Navalny“ protests #22

We got in touch with several anarchist comrades to talk about the recent protests on the streets of different cities in Russia: looked into political events of 2020 and how they brought people to the situation with protests. With comrades we managed to clarify if Navalny is a nazi and the whole protest should be ignored by the anarchists or leftists. And of course we talked about anarchists and their participation in protest movement.
