Verdicts on the 28th of september 2005, 23th day of trial:

Jose Fernandez Delgado: 14 years
Gabriel Pombo da Silva: 13 years
Bart de Geeter: 3 years and 6 month
Begonia Pombo da Silva: 13 month on probation (3 years)

(in ca. 3 weeks will be a new decision if Bart will be released provisionally)


Jose and Gabriel are Spanish anarchists who had escaped from the isolation units of Spain, (Gabriel had spent 20 years of his life in jail - 16 -36 years old) They were caught after a border check led to a shoot-out and hostage taking. Arrested also were the Belgian anarchist Bart de Geeter and Gabriel's sister, Begonia, who has no involvement with the anarchist movement.

The German State is refusing to look at the evidence of torture within the Spanish prison system, a clear motivating factor behind Jose and Gabriel's actions. After they have spent their sentences, it is expected that Germany will return the prisoners to Spain, to more torture, brutality and isolation.

Actions in solidarity with these anarchists are needed more than ever, for the struggle against State and Capital, for the destruction of all prisons and work-houses everywhere.

Destroy all judges and politicians
