5 anarchists sentenced in Denmark for arsons
Judges that work for secret service in the Eastern High Court (Østre Landsrets, Bredgade 59, Copenhagen) on Thursday 12 December 2013 made one more political sentencing like in Burma dictatorship. It is question how they arrested them for one act but charged them for many other things, usually people use balaclava when they go to attack something, so, even cameras can’t recognize their faces, it is question if they spoke about all of it when they were bugged and videotaped but even mentioning something doesn’t mean anything without material proof and details (if the court follow the law, but judges kissed in ass secret service). Prosecutor was Bo Bjerregaard and “analyst” from secret service was cand.scient.pol. Jesper Jespersen who spoke almost 30 minutes about anarchist standpoints about the state, about black bloc, etc. I suppose it is this idiot: http://rucforsk.ruc.dk/site/da/persons/jesper-jespersen%2832688fb3-c5d5-4cd1-a4aa-8c134535f417%29.html
He said also that this boys are influenced by Alexander Berkman book “ABC of Anarchism“.
In any case, when child of politician kill an immigrant, he get 8 years of prison and after 4 years he is free man but when anarchists burn property and nobody died, they get 7 years of prison. That’s the face and purpose of the state, to secure privileges for privileged, riches created states, not slaves. So, this December, 5 young anarchists in Copenhagen are sentenced, 2 of them got 7 years of prison and 3 others got 1 year and 9 months. It is harder sentence than sentence decided by district court before one year in Dec.2012 when one man got 6 years and 6 months and second one 4 years of prison, the rest got the same one year and 9 months.
Even one year and 9 months is too much for attempted, but not successful, arson at the Police Academy in Brøndby. They were arrested by secret service before they succeeded to burn anything. They were bugged and videotaped in Christiania for 6 weeks, obviously somebody near to them betrayed them. PJ, TH, DP and AC spoke according to the indictment during the meetings in Freetown also to attack, among other Christiansborg, the Ministry of Integration, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, frikirken Faderhuset and the Life Guards buildings at King’s Garden in Copenhagen. They wanted also to attack shipping company Maersk and companies dealing with genetically engineered products. They were charged also for terrorism but judges refused to sentence them for that.
Two of them – PJ and FP were accused of having participated in the following activities, by the way, FP has been in custody since May 2011, he is also sentenced to pay one million DKK for damage:
17 April 2010: two Molotov cocktails thrown against Copenhagen Fur in Glostrup. It was attempt, they didn’t hit the building and one worker extinguished fire.
14 May 2010: Flammable liquid ignited at the Police Academy in Brøndbyøster. Police cars were set on fire on the parking lot too. The damage reached about two million DKK (260 000 euro).
23-24th August: Action against Copenhagen Fur, damage about 50,000 DKK. The company itself was not on fire.
20 September 2010: Flammable liquid ignited 4 sites at the fur company Pelsbox Danmarks building in Herlev. Damage about 1.5 million.
27 October 2010: Flammable liquid was thrown through a window and ignited with molotov at food company Nestlé in Copenhagen. Damage was at least two million.
10 November 2010: Molotov cocktail and flammable liquid thrown through the window to the fur company Saga Fur in Vedbæk. Damage 1.7 million.
8 December 2010: Can with gasoline thrown through the window and ignited at PET (secret service) in Søborg. Damage about three million.

14 January 2011: According to police, the accused would use gasoline and a torch to set fire to Nordea’s branch on Strandgade in Copenhagen. It failed.
6 April 2011: They set fire to the Greek Embassy in Copenhagen. Damage was 300 000 DKK.
4 members of the group, PJ, TH, DP and AC, were arrested on 26 April 2011 when they tried to burn police academy in Brønby. Police waited for them, later they confessed that they would set fire to the Police Academy in Brøndby. The four explained that the action was an expression of a personal confrontation with police. The fifth defendant has refused to speak to police and in court.
Rote Flora – 7000 supporters protested on Saturday in Hamburg
More than 7,000 people took to the street in a march on Saturday against the eviction of the popular Rote Flora center in Hamburg’s Schanzenviertel District.
The violence erupted when riot police armed with pepper spray and batons hindered the march. Protesters answered by pelting the police officers with rocks, bottles and fireworks.
Police retaliated by using water cannons to disperse the crowd, of whom many belonged to leftist and anarchist groups.
During the clashes, numerous shop fronts were smashed and several cars and garbage bins were set on fire.
It was not known how many protesters were injured in the clashes. Some 19 people were said to have been arrested.
Eine erste Betrachtung des 21.12. in Hamburg aus autonomer Sicht.
Die Bullen sind Schweine. Sich daran abzuarbeiten, ist ebenso überflüssig wie sinnlos. Es geht lediglich um die Frage, wie ihr Handeln effektiv bekämpft und eingegrenzt werden kann. Die Erfahrung der Ohnmacht hat sich tief eingegraben in den Köpfen der Bewohner des Empires – auch in jenem Teil der Population, der sich die Aufhebung des Bestehenden zum Ziel gesetzt hat. Ein beträchtlicher Teil davon hat sich am 21.11. in Hamburg versammelt. Wir wollen einige erste Überlegungen und unvollständigen Beobachtungen veröffentlichen, um einen Beitrag zu Debatte darüber zu leisten, wie wir diese Ohnmacht in unser konkreten Praxis überwinden können.
