Ivan, Bruno and Damien got arrested on January 19, 2008 on the way to the demonstration against the detention centre of Vincennes (near Paris). They were carrying home made smoke powder and bent nails (to slash tyres). At the police station, they refused the finger print identification and DNA taking. Ivan and Bruno are jailed, Damien is under judiciary control.




Two other persons got arrested on january 23rd by a border patrol, during a road control near Vierzon (France countryside). In their car, they found chlorate (to make smoke powder), youth jail's map and sabotage guides. They're imprisoned under the anti-terrorist jurisdiction. The police's incrimination is "intention to attack a youth jail" and, for one of them, an "attempt to sabotage a police car".

Now, the five persons are under judiciary investigation for "possession and carriage of explosive or incendiary material" and "criminal association with terrorist goals". Four of them are locked in since january. The anti-terrorist jurisdiction can keep them in jail many months more...

Since december 2007, there are massive mutinies in detention centres and wild strikes leaded by hundreds of migrant workers. It reminds us that exploitation and imprisonment are related.

Solidarity is not only made of money and material care, it's also made of acts of resistance and fights against the State and capitalism. As well, solidarity can be an extension and an intensification of the social struggle.

Some solidarity actions already took place in France (in Paris, Dijon, Grenoble, Toulouse, Rennes, etc.): smoke candles and smoke canisters burned during demonstrations, solidarity gatherings, banners, graffiti, blocades, disruption of a radio program, direct actions against buildings related with deportations, etc. During this week, we want to multiply the solidarity acts, and to let them know that we won't stop so soon...

Solidarity with the two of Vierzon, with Bruno, Ivan, Damien and all the others! Freedom for all the prisoners, with or without ID!
Freedom for everybody!
