On the 21th of September the summing up speeches of the defence will follow. Its not likely that the judgement will be on the same day, but are more likely to be pronounced on the 28th of September. Solidarity actions will no doubt be appreciated!


On the 28th June, near Aachen in the area of the German/Dutch border, police stopped a car with four people, including Spanish anarchist fugitive Gabriel Pombo da Silva. The car attempted to escape, and shots were exchanged between the police and the fleeing car. All four were eventually arrested, and are now accused of planning bank robberies, as well as the charges relating to their escape attempt. They are now on trial in Aachen. Their names are Gabriel Pombo da Silva, Begoña Pombo Da Silva (now released, but still facing charges), Fernández Delgado and Bart De Geeter . They can recieve letters sent via the prosecutors office:

(Name of prisoner) C/o Staatsnwaltschaft Aachen, AZ 401JS284/04, Stifstrasse 39-43, 52062 Aachen, Germany

There is no need to say they face years of imprisonment. And we know we have no faith at all in this “Justice”, its police and courts and media, which will do all it can to criminalize and condemn our comrades, and, when it sees a chance, all anarchists and all dissidents who show solidarity, and refuse to speak its language, to accept its order, to follow its rules, to act and live without the passion and the dream and the struggle for a new and free world. We know our passion for freedom is stronger than their prisons.

Finally, let’s make clear that this trial is not the end; it’s the beginning, or not even the beginning, but a continuation of the struggle we are committed to; a struggle to overcome our fears, to give up our privileges, to take hold of our own lives, to win our freedom and the freedom of all. Dare to struggle, dare to win!

Neither victims, nor martyrs. Solidarity with those who struggle.
