Argentina: Anarchist demonstration in front of the prison of Devoto

This Sunday, February 24, 2008, a group of companions demonstrated in front of the prison of Devoto in solidarity with the anarchist prisoners on hunger strike and for the destruction of all the prisons.

During this activity, flags with anti-prison markings were used and leaflets were given out to the people leaving the prison after visiting and were read to the prisoners who listened from the windows of their cells. We reproduce the leaflet here:

International Hunger Strike of February 18 to 29

Between the days of the 18th and 28th of February 2008, a series of revolutionary anarchist individuals incarcerated in Germany, Switzerland, Argentina and Spain have called for a hunger strike and mobilization against prisons and repression, isolation regimes, torture, life sentences, and for the freedom of all sick prisoners. Those who took this initiative of struggle are the anarchist prisoners Marco Camenish (Switzerland), Rafa Martínez Zea "Jon Bala" (Puerto III, Spain), Joaquin Garces (CP Castellon, Spain), Gabriel Pombo "Musta" and Jose Fernández (Germany), Diego Petrissans (C.P.F.-N2- Marcos Paz, Argentina) and Thomas Meyer Falk (Germany). Thomas is not sharing in the method of the hunger strike.

In Argentina, in the prisons and the police stations of progressivism there is torture, and the only function that all the prisons have is not to re-socialize but only to punish, isolate, subjugate and denigrate the human being.

The only thing made by incarcerating a person and depriving a person of their freedom is the worst torture. We make present our solidarity and extend the struggle of our companions, for the freedom of all prisoners.

Long live freedom, death to the prisons!!!

Anarchists.
