One year since your accident, we continue on the warpath for the freedom of Tortuga

from negratortuguitalakalle, transl waronsociety:

How to forget the thunderous sound of that pre-dawn of June 1st that reverberated in the hearts of the uncontrollable rebels who had many times savored that sparkling music of the explosion, and who now received the news bitterly, inundated with suffocating feelings of love and hatred beyond expectation? That same day when the arrogant ones and cynics appeared in droves, while so many others repented a disappointing previous encounter with you, which in one way or another they wanted to erase.

To the insurgent comrades – report on the recent events in Bolivia

from culmine, transl waronsociety, by Some Wayward Noctilucae FAI/FRI:

The following text has come out of the necessity of making known to the comrades of the insurrectional struggle around the world what happened, distancing ourselves from the solidarity that has been manifested thus far, which has been, along with the press, the only means for informing ourselves of the situation. We refer to the texts from collectives, individuals of the Bolivian territory who in coming out (see this text) in the face of what happened have taken recourse to protesting and pleading for the “right to free expression,” illogically since it is an illegal action that the state is trying to condemn, affirming that the four arrested are innocent when it is known that one of them does not accept this qualification, and other similar claims. For our part we are interested in widening, by means of our possibilities, the information that is circulating on the web, without any intention of identifying anyone as innocent or guilty, much less victimizing, denouncing, demanding, repudiating or protesting about the “repressive action of the Bolivian state,” since none of these notions corresponds with our anarchist principles.

Chile: Bombs Case: The comrades are absolved! (corrected)

from vivalaanarquia, transl waronsociety:

After a long process during which the $hilean state and the plaintiff institutions tried by all means to condemn the compas at any cost, they were absolved of all the charges, in the final hearing today June 1st, 2012.

All the charges such as placement of explosive device and terrorist financing were dismissed; also they raised all the cautionary measures against the 5 compas.

* WOS note: Initially we had translated directly from a post on VLA which incorrectly mentioned “6 comrades.” There were, of course, only 5 comrades accused and at the trial; the 6th mentioned was the collaborator who is no comrade at all.
