Marc Rudin was born in 1946 in Switzerland, Until 1979 he lived and fought as revolutionary in different cities in Westem Europe.For instance he used his graphic talent in the fighting resistance.in 1979 he was forced to leave ‘Switzerland , since he was in danger of being criminalized by the Swiss state. Until 1991 he lived in exile in Lebanon and Syria. MARC RUDIN -ashort BIOGRAPHY Under the name JIHAD MANSOUR he produced political posters and pictures , which describe Many of the phases in the fight of the Palestinian People for liberation and the right to go back to their homeland, from where many have been exiled. He also created the front pages of " Democratic Palestine “ , the international Magazine of PFLP. In October 1991 Marc was arrested crossing the Turkish border.After 1 1/2 year in Turkish prison he was extradited to Denmark. In October 1983 he was sentenced to 8 years in prison, accused of participation in a robbery against a post office in Copenhagen in 1988, The expropriated money ( 13 millioner Danish crones / 4,25 million O-Mark ) is allegedly handed over to the Palestinian resistance. Marc was subjected to a political accentuated showtrial and was exclusively sentenced on the basis of circumstantial evidence made up by the police. For us it is evident that Mare was sentenced not because of the actual robbery case, but because of his engagement to the active anti-imperialist resistance. A SHORT SUMMARY The starting point of our solidarity campaign with Marc Rudin was to break through the systematic media black-out about his unacceptable and destroying conditions in prison. For half a year we tried with no succes to make political institutionat circles and the medias attentive to his situation, With the exception of a small “marxist- leninist " newspaper (" ARBEJDEREN " ) we were only met by suppression. INTERNATIONAL SOLYDARITY ACTIONS THE 16.TH. OF MAY 1994 we squatted the meeting room of the Socialdemocratic Party , who presently Government Party and who occupies the post of the minister of (in) justice, in the Danish Parliament. This action was a part of a bigger international ny WBA AG” TID V WOU ATLAAutonomi Newsletter no,9 autumn 94 6 solidarity campaign for Marc Rudin. After these actions , things started to. happen. The next 3-4 days all medias focused on Marc and his conditions in prison, partly as front-page stories, or if “f NU THE SMEAR-CAMPAIGN OF THE MEDIAS As expected the total blackout from the media and the responsible politicians were relieved by a massive smear- campaign against Marc as well as the solidarity-campaign. The journalists denounced the protest against the prison conditions of Marc. Most loudly they howled when French comrades announced attacks against Danish financial interests if not Mares conditions were normalized... Most of the medias even denied that Marc is subjected to special conditions in prison. ‘This happened in spite of the information material we have supplied the medias with , and in spite of a protest note made by an impartial prison priest earlier this year. ‘Some of the medias even asserted that Marc's bad conditions were result of the solidarity campaign. . . ‘THE OPENING OF THE MEDIAS First after this smear - and disinformation campaign another team of journalists started more seriously to deal with the situation the solidarity campaign focused on: THE PRISON CONDITIONS OF MARC. THE POLITICAL INITIATIVE ... The publicity about the situation of Marc was followe from Socialist Peoples Party ( Socialistisk Folke; Even members of Amnesty International partici Marc. 4 by questions to the minister of justice from politicians Parti ) and single members of the Socialdemocratic Party . pated in the following debate in the medias , in favour of .. AND TEMPORARY RESULTS ‘The pressure from different sides resulted in an easing of the conditions of Marc in prison , ordered by the Ministry of Justice. Like this , Marc is now permitted to practice his daily jogging. ( and soon he will probably be able to study in stead of working.) BUT the concessions have been given ina way which have been throwing further suspicion on Marc , and in that way functions as a legitimation of his special conditions. For instance the Minister of Justice declared that Mare would be permitted to go to the prison yard, but only isolated and on changing times in order to avoid that someone outside prison could liberate him...(7? ), All other claims are still unfulfilled ( see our press release ! ) and we will fight for their realization ! REPRESSION IS THEIR WEAPON - SOLIDARITY IS OUR STRENGTH |7 Autonomi Newsletter no. autumn $4 @ PRESS RELEASE IMMEDIATE ABOLITION OF ALL SORTS OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT OF MARC RUDIN! Today, monday the 16.th.of May 94, we have squatted the meeting room of the Social Democrats on Christiansborg ( the Danish Parliament ) in PROTEST against the continuous solitary confinement of Marc Rudin in Horsens state prison, The Social Democracy as Government Party shares the responsibility for Marc’s prison conditions and for the situation in the prisons in general. On a public meeting 26.1.94 the Minister of Justice, Erling Olsen, declared that the conditions Mare is subjected to, in the future will be used against other political prisoners. THIS PROTEST ACTION isa part of an INTERNATIONAL ACTION DAY against the prison conditions of Mare Rudin. Like that, there is today solidarity activities in Austria, Germany ete. Mare was exclusively sentenced on the basis of circumstantial evidence made up by the police in a political accentuated showirial. He was sentenced because of his active and concrete anti- imperialist solidarity with the Palestinian resistance - as a substitute of the active anti-imperialist resistance. The last attack is the attempt of the state to destroy his health and political identity. MARC'S SITUATION TODAY : Marc is subjected to different sorts of solitary confinement. He is not allowed to participate in common activities with other prisoners such as : Common exercise, cultural or other common activities. Against his will he is placed in a so called " voluntary solitary confinement department" , which is isolated from the rest of the prison. Beside from that he is regularly strip searched by the prison staff. We demand immediate abolition of all sorts of Solitary confinement Mare suffers from high blood pressure In spite of that he is refused to jog, which would help to lower his blood pressure. In stead the prison doctor offers him medicaments which are physical and mentally deadening. Of course Marc refuses to take these medicaments. This situation results in a still higher blood pressure and destroying of his health.Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 8 We demand, that Marc immediate gets the possibility for daily jogging and gets a doctor who is independent of the prison and after his own choice ! Mare was transferred from Vestre Prison in Copenhagen to Horsens State Prison in February : This is a fundamental attack on his possibilities for having visitors, communication and political engagement, since all his visiting friends from Denmark comes from Copenhagen. With the transfer to Horsens the possibilities for visits are extremely reduced because of geographical and financial reasons. Therefore we demand transfer to Vridsloselille Prison and putting together with politic al prisoners / prisoners of his own choice ! We demand that these basic demands are met by the responsible authorities and call on all progressive movements, human rights groups, political,humanist,cultural and social groups as well as single persons to support these demands in their own way ! We will not allow the repression machinery of state slowly but systematically to break down Marc Rudin .[ Solitary confinement is torture ! Fight all sorts of solitary confinement ! _ For a society without prisons ! The MARC RUDIN ANTI-REPRESSION COMMITTEE, INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY ACTIVITIES Monday the 16.th of May 94 a number of actions took place in FRANCE, AUSTRIA and DENMARK in order to protest against the situation of MARC RUDIN in prison. In PARIS militant activists attacked a Danish travel agency with 3 molotow coctails. In SALZBURG anti- imperialists demonstrated in front of the Danish consulate. In COPENHAGEN activists squatted the meeting room of the Social Democrats in the governmental building and hang a banner out from the window. THE FOLLOWING DAYS activists from Athens, Tokyo, Germany, England and Russia , joined the international campaign for Marc with protest notes to the Danish ‘embassies, publication of information ETC. Also PALESTINIAN organizations throughout the world have in different countries written to the Danish ‘embassies protesting against Marc’s prison conditions, For example the PALESTINIAN UNION OF PAINTERS AND SCULPTORS ; where Marc is an honory member, the PALESTINIAN UNION OF WRITERS AND JOURNALISTS and PFLP as a party.Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 COPENHAGEN , 16.5.94: The meeting room of the Social @ Democratic Pany in the Danish Parliament was occupied and a banner hung out of the window.

Since 1993 the Social Democracy has lead 2 coaltion - government together with 3 smaller parties ( the small right-wing socialdemocracy , a ‘family- dynasty * lead party : Centrumsdemokraterne / Center Democrats ; a smail protestant party : Kristeligt Folkeparti / Christian Peoples Party ; and a small liberal party a la the German FOP : De Radikale / The Radicals ) {nthe end of august ELECTION was called , which will take place the 21.september 94. BOYCOT THEIR ! WE THINK THE RESULT of this election are relatively unimportatnt, because there is no doubt that the new government no matter who forms-it will continue the course up till now : a very hard bourgeois economic crisis-policy with social and economic cuts in all areas of society ; an expansion of the repression machinery and participation in the imperialist policy of EU and in the military protection policy of NATO / UN- Security Council in order to maintain the global doctrines of ther rulers. The AUTONOMI-COLLECTIVE, the women around AUTONOME FEMINISTER , DEN RODE BANDE (= The red gang ) and the Anti-repression commitee MARC RUDIN, call upon a boycot of the election the perspective being an active participation in the basis resistance and in the development of the resistance ( See our boycot - poster, elsewhere in this magazine ). THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY dominated coalition government up till now has since taking over the tabourets of power in 1993 continued the re-structuring projcets of the previous bourgeois government, INTERNALLY ithas practised a classical bourgeois crisispolicy in all areas of society. Which means an economical and social rationalization - and restructuring program in accordance with the needs of the capital in general for larger mobility and competitiveness on the international markets, In this period the Social Democracy has tried to present itself to the capitalAutonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 14 ‘and to the for the time being strong politicial non-socialist / non-leftwing parts of the big , social middle-class - as a pragmatic, modem people's party (see note 1 ). Having historical roots in the workers movement and a strong basis in the big public sector in Denmark , the Social Democracy up till now was / is the precondition for a basic change in society in accordance with the capitals new socialtechnical ‘and economic needs of mobility, WITHOUT ANY DANGER OF CLASSPOLARIZATIONS, RIOTS AND REVOLTS IN A GREATER EXTENT. ( Which will come any way, though the creation will be more complex and difficult ! ) THIS IS THE BACKGROUND OF THE MASSIVE ATTACKS AGAINST THE 12 % (MORE THAN 360.000 - OFFICIAL FIGURES !) unemployed / people living from public assistance, which means compulsory work, lower wages for younger people etc. etc, Hollowing out the housing legislation and opening up for all kinds of speculation. Sharpening of the refugee - and immigrant legislation. General cuts in the social and health service, in the education system, in the cultural area ETC. THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY dominated coalition goverment has carried out massive attacks against major Parts of the population, which especially have worsened women’s WORKING - and LIVING CONDITIONS. ‘That the outgoing govemment / the Social Democracy because of its traditional voters among wage eamers and unemployed has made some selective special facilities with economic helpprograms for chosen areas, mostly of niche character, does not cover up in any way the general social and economical policy of reduction and hollowing out. EXTERNALLY the Social Democracy dominated coalition government has lead an offensive course of adjustment to the EU's central axis around Germany's and France's economical and military political EU-concept of expansion. For example = - Economical expansion and exploitation of Eastem Europe as a low wage area - Military political support to NATOs / USAs military attacking plans of warfare in the different destabilized buming confict areas in the world. OPPOSITION AND RESISTANCE ... IN DENMARK TODAY EXIST A LOT OF SMALLER LOCAL PROTESTS AND OPPOSITION against concrete local conditions. This protest and opposition are mainly of social,anti-racist, ecological, professional and economical character, and have developed as a reaction to the policy of the rulers. We think the main problem with these fights is , that they mostly deal with concrete questions WITHOUT trying to connect them with the demands and perspectives of other similar protest-initiatives. That means the protests / fights take place isolated from eachother and without any further perspectives. The result is that they stay within the frame- work of the system and are unable to develop a connexion to the basic and social reasons for the problems. This is the reason why most basis protest in DK do not have any anti-capi- talist, anti-patriarchal or revolutionary orientati- on. This is a situation the traditional leftwing both appreciate and promote !1S Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 -- THE REPRESSION MACHINERY The government and the state machinery respond to the mostly individually formed protests against the increasing social and economical problems by expanding control and registration, by extending the authority of the police , by frequently use of custody arrest ete For a minority of the population the police state has become a reality already a long time ago. Police state methods are being practized against different autonome activists, against people living in Christiania (a small self-governing village in the center of Copenhagen) - socially against people who do not adopt to the noms of society, who "steal" an make bankrobberies etc. Our first comment on the result of the election circus a la 21. september 1994 : STATUS QUO The two blocs that compete for the political power have gone through a shifting of the power relation between them without any immidiate consequences: ‘The Social Democracy will in one way or the other continue to camry on and administrate the general interests of the Danish capital market. With the other rightwing bloc as oppostition waiting for the right moment to take over power and privileges. A pure power-political show, a mixture of Kafka and Machiavelli ! THE PARLIAMENTARIAN LEFTWING has been strenghtend, The Unity List (consists ofthe rests of DKP-The danish communis party, the post Troshyist SAP. ‘Sceast workers party thereat ofthe former relatively big lsc party VS, @ minor gathering of exrmasits around KAP-Commurist rerkers party and alt of not party organized people alin af about 1400 members). The unity list managed fo obtain representation in parliament (had 3,2 % of the votes) because they had a {ot of votes from the political diffuse and passive EU-resistance in Denmark. (All other parties in parliament are supporters of the EU-project).. Concurrently with the race for passing the undemocratic rules, that you have to have 2 % of the votes to obtain representation in parliament, the Unity List has in a fast tempo sold out of basic leftwing positions. They have - even to the surprise of the left social democratic SF - Socialist peoples party - Immidiately proclaimed that :* if the Unity List gets into parliament they will recommend a social democratic minority government / a social democratic state minister WITHOUT ANY CONDITIONS. any In the refugeepolicy they support quotes instead of demanding OPEN BORDERS FOR ALL. They rack their brains HOW they can finance their reform proposals so that it is not at the expense of the state budget, instead of breaking with the market economical profit-logic of the capital and the political system, NOT ONE WORD ABOUT SOCIALISM / REVOLUTION, NO SOLIDARITY WITH fex. the revolutionary prisoner Marc Rudin etc., etc. All in all an extreme adjustment to a diffuse not exactly leftwing potential of voters - because of the lack of an anti-capitalist, anti-patriarchal and antl-imperialst FIGHTING movement. For this reason we do absolutely not expect a strenghtning of a revolutionary proces in society to come from this spectrum! FAR OUT! Itis simply far out and politically chocking that parts of the autonome spectrum have recommended to vote for the Unity List, but this says more about the insidious going to the right among parts of the autonome spectrum!

It has in fact been reduced to small party machineries constantly looking for activists, who are ready to spread out their predictable, anachronistic positions. Politically characteristic for them is, that they all without any exeption have adjusted to the Parliamentarian framework of the bourgeois democracy - to the ruling laws and moral conception. Always they give priority to activities which aim at obtaining some kind of re-presentation in the diverse bourgeois political institutions. All party-independent basis activities are being judged and “supported” ( mostly just with WORDS !! ) considering their own posibilities of profiling and recruiting, The Danish Communist Party - DKP Today it’s in fact non-existent ( Though they claim to have more than 1000 members, we do not know of any Praxis from them outside the UNITY LIST !). ‘Since the collaps of the Sovietunion, to which the DKP was closely connected - politically and economically - the party has dissolved very fast. A couple of hundred People are more or less active within the broad left-wing Parliamentarian platform : The Unity List / Enhedslisten, Another part - a dogmatic! post-stalinist,trade-unionist orientated current has formed COMMUNIST PARTY in DANMARK - KPiD. The party has Certain semi- bureaucratic positions in traditionally leftwing orientated tredeunions - but in fact has no clear political profile. The Left Socialists - VS (Venstresocialisterne ) This party has been the organizational expression of the 68-revolt , and has during the years been characterized by numerous political splits. The policy of \VS is based on a non-dogmatic , sometimes ahistorical,pragmatic left-socialist marxism. Until the beginning of the 80’es it was a kind of common forum for different political movements, and has in Periods been representated in Parliament ( until 1987). ‘Today the party is a study circle with a small arty machinery, which acts around its own axis - that means : as far as possible it maintains the functions of a party WITHOUT having any perspectives of action, and WITHOUT AN INDEPENDENT PRAXIS. ‘The majority of the still active VS-members have put their activity into the UNITY LIST. ‘Therefore many of them have taken the consequence and have left the party to the benefit ofthis Parliamentarian orientated leftwing list. (‘See our comment on the election 1). Itis characteristic for the miserabie situation of VS, that there are no VS-members in the elected pariament ‘group for the Unity List (It consists of two ex-VS- Tembers, + one from the post-Trotskyist SAP,one from the previous maoist KAP, and two from the DKP, the Communist Party ).19 Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 We are NOT a safety net we disagree with the \..Unless of course Under Nyrup (the stateminister)..

Intemational. The group’s former clear political profile has totally dissolved . into a pragmatic parliament orientated praxis within the frames of THE UNITY LIST ( Enhedslisten ) and the small leftwing paper The Red Thread. The maintenance of the 4.h. Intemational solely takes place via the publishing of a monthly magazine called" Intemationale Informationer * (= International Informations ). @ Communist Workers Party - KAP (Kommunistisk Arbejderparti ) Is an ex-maoist party without any praxis at all. We see thelr presence in the UNITY LIST as well as in the editorial collective of " The Red Thread " as an almost hysterical - legalistic quarantor of these political coordinator’s increasing integration - and adjustment process within the Framework of the bourgeois,imperialst system. (twas KAP that previously made election campaigns under slogans like : " socialism in Danish"...). @international Socialists - 1S (intemationale Socialister ) TO THIS GROUP WE HAVE MADE A LONGER COMMENT, because the political current to which this party belongs acts on an international level , and many activists and revolutionary connections in other countries have similar problems with IS as we have :Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 20 IS has its roots in a dogmatic ( economistic) trade union orientated current within the Danish Lefisocialists , they were thrown out of the party, formed Intemational Socialists and in the late 80"ies they joined the English reo-trotskyist Intemational Socialism - current, which today is called Socialist Workers Party. ( Their sister organization in Germany is SAG - Sozialistische Arbeiter Gruppe ). IS is @ sectarian and anachronistic leftwing-current, which programatically refers among other things to fragments of ‘Trotsky’s and Rosa Luxemburg’s marxism ( via their theorists in the English sisteroraanisation : Cliff, Sweezy Baran...) and the previous Russian leftopposition. But we think that the simple world view of IS is absolutely antagonist fo the marxist tradition as such. “The feminist, anti-patriarchal women’s struggle is sectarian and splits the working class, and " the working class is rot racist "~ are two characteristic positions from their * revolutionary "orientation...

(‘See our comment to the policy of IS elsewhere in this article ). The letterbomb came from people in the fascist underground in DK, by this attack one comrade from IS was killed. POLITICAL BASIS AFA defines their anti-fascism as going further than just the fight against racism. This anti-fascist fight must comprise the social reasons for the racist and fascist tendencies among the population , such as : homelessness, unemployment, social cuts, miserable education system, ecological mess, etc. AFA also gives priority to the fight against sexism, hierarchies and the fascist tendencies in state and repression machinery in general. The political orientation of AFA is the fight for counterpower as part of a transformation of society. In connexion with the change of our daily life as well as the change of the general situation of society. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES AND PRAXIS AFA regard them selves as part of the international Anti-Fascist ‘Action network. Parts of AFA have their roots in the former squatting movement. AFA’s structure in Denmark is decentral and federalist in the form of numerous local AFA-groups around the country. In some periods the AFA - groups are very active and offensive, in other periods hard to see. It was AFA that was the originator of the strong anti-fa mobilization to LUND and Malme to support the Swedish anti-fa’s / anti-racists fight against manifestations of the right-extremists / fascists in Sweden. Recently they organized a demo to the village Kvaers in south Jutland to support the inhabitants in their manifestations against @ new esieblished naz-printing house.

On this background the UN-summit cn social policy will chart new forms for an internationel, coordinated social policy based on the interests of the imperialists. ‘The top-meeting expresses in a nutshell the schism of the imperialist worldorder : The constant attempt to balance between the total exploitation of people and nature - and the necessity of having a good grasp of the development so that it does not undermine the system and becomes a serious threat to the ruling order (here the UN-conferences on various topical issues enter into the picture) THE RESISTANCE ‘The Un-top-meeting in Copenhagen will be an evident opportunity for manifesting radical, re- volutionary resistance against the ruling, im- perialist worldorder and anti-imperialist solidarity with liberation struggies. and with the oppressed people ail over the world Far beyond the reformist integration mechanisms of the socalled “altema- tive" NGO-forum.

Pretending to have plans of making a toy-factory the firm KBUS 38 bought the house. KBUS 38 belongs to Meinolf Schénbom - leader of the militant German nazi organization Nationalistische Front. Also the German nazi lea- der Christian Worch has recently been seen in Kveers, where the nazis had plans of establishing a printing house and distribution center for nazi material (Denmark has a more liberal legislation, which allows such activi- ties - contrary to Germany where it is OFFICIALLY forbidden). But the in- habitants of Kveers were determined to hinder this. ‘They soon found out that appeals to the politicians wouldn't have any effect - and so they took the case in their own hand : On public meetings in a ful village hall they discussed how they could force the nazis to give up and leave. Every night during weeks they demonstrated in front of the nazi house, Also in the day time a lot of demos against the nazis took place. Arranged by local inhabitants, the Union of active resistance people ( = people who were in the resistance against the German occupation 1940-45) and others, The 24.9,94 AFA (Anti-Fascist Action) arranged a demo in Kvaers. The bourgeois medias "predicted" hard confrontations and a war-like situation in the village. But reality turned out to be quite different : Before the AFA-demo arrived in busses, several inhabitants of Kvaers had gathered in front of the nazi house. They were beaten away by cops and their dogs, some of them were brutally arrested, and people from Kveers were so upset by this that they shouted “nazi-pigs" after the police. When the AFA busses + anti-fas from Germany arrived later that day a demo with much more than 1.000 participants went through the village without any confrontations. Later that night - after the demo had left again - people from Kvaers attacked the nazi house with stones and bottles and it came to physical confrontations between Kvaers inhabitants and nazi bodyguards. But after a long night and several weeks of demos ete. the nazis finally gave up and moved out- which they made public in handbills thrown on the mainstreet of Kvaers. The people of Kveers shouted with joy - some of them foilowed the nazis, who went to Kollund, where the German nazi and ex-SS officer Thies Christoffersen has his domicile, But also people from the small town Kallund close to the German border have said, that they will NOT tolerate thet the nazis, who were thrown out of Kveers settle down in Kollund, 7 the nazrhouse in Kvesrs, which was £ @p%ected by local inhabitants, who simply 4, Phad had enough.

IN THE FOLLOWING we bring a description of the proces and a political statement from an activist, who were arrested the 18.may 93. “Alexandra” was imprisoned for 15 days, ( 13 days in isolation ). In spite of an attempt from the police to criminalize her, it was not possible to convict her for anything. " ALEXANDRA" : " The processes against the 26 alleged activists sterted March 1994 and were characterized by different views upon the 18.may-riot.

Most of them participated benevolently Ww the show of the Counsel for the Prosecution. Some admitted more than they were accused of.

There was a smail group of people, who wanted to make a solidarity manifestation in front of the court (banners and handbills).It was proposed at a meeting with the accused. The problem was that a part of the accused did not want the solidarity , because they feared fo be regarded a part of the autonome mileu , (No matter if they were or not ) and becatise of that get.a harder sentence.

The searches were tumed against members and alleged members of Autonome Anti- fa (M). Furthermore rooms of the students’ representative council at the University of Gottingen, the bookshop Rote Strasse, the affected persons’ place of work and the homes of relatives of the affected persons in Hessen, NordRheinWestphalen and Niedersachsen were serached, During the raids doors were broken up, windows smashed and rooms searched,which belonged to people against whom no charges have been made. A lot of material was confiscated, among other things sackfuls of casefiles, several computers, personal equipments and different other things. In the afternoon the same day a solidarity demo with 10.000 participants took place in Gottingen. The following day a printing house in connexion with the charges against Autonome Anti-fa (M) and a former place of work of a member of the group were serached. On the occasion of the shooting down of Halim Dener in Hannover ( a young Kurd who was killed by the police while putting up Kurdish posters!) and of the searches in Gottingen a demo with 2.000 people took place 7.7.94. ‘The 16.7.94 a broad coalition carried through a demo in Gottingen under the main slogan: "Stop the state terrorism - strike back!". 3.500 people participated in this demo. Since autumn 1991 the police and inteligence service have tried to criminalize the activities of Autonome Anti-fa (M). In a press release from 5.7.84 the police motivates the searches with the §129 and §129a charges against Autonome Anti-fa( M). They define Autonome Anti-fa(M) as a “criminal union according to §129", that “recruits for and has close connexions to members of the RAF", which results in charges according to §129a. Politically this attack against Autonome Anti-fa(M) is logic enough. The political work of a group, which explain the con- nexion between fascism and imperialism, which makes ant fascist publicity work and leads coalition policy successful- ly, is antagonist to the interests of the state and is therefore being combatted by the state intelligence service, * against the division of the anti-fascist resistance ! * No criminalization of the autonome anti-fascism ! * Immidiate stopping of the processes against antifascists ! * Immidiate giving back of all confiscated material !

June 1994 the German women's guerilla group ROTE ZORA went into action again after a pause of 5 years : They burnt down several trucks from the profit-monger firms "Meigo” and "Weigl" - because of their disgusting racist business at the expense of refugee people. We have translated the statement of this action. But first a short summary : The herstory of ROTE ZORA begins with the constitution as an autonome wornens group within the RZ (Revolutionare Zellen / Revolutionary Cells). RZ was formed in the beginning of the 7O'ies. Organized in independent cells they developed first of all a social revolutionary praxis and contributed to radicalizing social and political movements during attacks and militant actions. For example against institutions and representatives of the institutionalize state racism. Developing their own womens perspectives and political ideas of liberation ROTE ZORA was later formed as an independent group of radical women- lesbians, Since the middle of the 70'ies ROTE ZORA as a group has contributed to the developing of a militant, radical womens liberation struggle. ROTE ZORA has carried out several militant actions and attacks during their campaigns first of all against genetic- and reproductive engineering, against sexshops/sexturism and trade in women, ETC. And when women textile workers in South Corea in 1987 had started a very hard and longstanding strike in the factory Flair Fashion owned by the German firm Adler, ROTE ZORA attacked several Adler branches in Germany with firebombs (36 Million DM demages). This was of decisive importance and meant thet the South Corean women had almost all their demands fulfilled and in fact won the strike | Rote Zora In December 1987 the state repression maschinery turned against women / womens groups etc. involved in radical, anti-imperialist activities. The criminalization parallel with the decline of the womens movement against genetic- and reproductive engineering , and the drastic changes following the dissolution of the East-bloc forced ROTE ZORA into a process of internal new-orientation and reorganization,39 ROTE ZORA 7 Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 Attack statement from ROTE ZORA : = Neo-nazi marching ups, attacks and murders are again part of everyday life inthis country. just as the public politcal rituals of expression of dislike and pity is. The backgrounds of Solingen make it clear, that the racist mobilization is not only accepted by the slate and police, it is being promoted and is wanted, and even in the tapering - ‘murder itis no slip : In Solingen the intelligence service helped to build up and activate a neo-nazi murdergang, which was protected from any persecution. This has cost the life of 5 Turkish women and gifs. ‘The racist mobilization functions as the grounds for the new state foreigners - and refugees policy. On the background of attacks against refugees an atmosphere is being ‘created, which makes any inhuman treatment of refugees possible. Wee nungerstrikes, demonstrations, visits atthe city administrations, by refusing receiving or throwing-out-of-the-window the food packets many refugee women and men have protested against their expulsion of the public assistance and the food packet provisioning. Were their survival / living conditions stoten from them in the countries they ‘come from, 80 must they here defend themselves against further destruction by racist special treatment. They fight against the new special law which took effect 1.11.93, a law that is meant to denounce them as human beings of “lower quality” and denies them the right to a decent lif. Fert rst ime in the German postwar period a whole social group as such (refugee women, children and men wihtout German passport ) is being ostracized of the socalled existence minimum of the public assistance. On BRD-ground they are shut up in camps with walls, fences and guards all around, here they are forced to live under humiliating conditions in very little space. Running away from countries in Eastem Europe, Africa, Asia - from nationalist, racist wars and powerstruggles, from rape, racist persecution, destruction of their social structures, they are here made refugees of poverty and a superfluous population , whic is being determined by the special laws. The state refugee policy is the prolonged arm of an exploitation and destruction policy in the homelands of the refugees. A policy that is being managed and promoted by the rich metropole : regimes and banks to force through their patriarchal "New Warldorder" . VuO7T ALO’ Since decades the rulers have defined the people of the poor countries on this earth as overpopulation" ("World population problem”, "Population explosion”, "Population bomb",etc.). The people who manage to come here is now being confronted with the same ideology and policy. ‘The special law shall discourage the refugees from comming here, make the stay as unbearable and the deportation as frictionless as possible. ‘Afier a situation where war-refugees from Bosnia were/are only let in on BRD-ground if privat persons take over the support, it is now so that for the refugees arriving from now ‘on the socalled asylum seekers achievement law in general has taken effect instead of the public assistance act. It consists of a humiliating system of "material payment" (credit notes, second hand clothes, forced provisioning ...) Being without money in a world where all expression of life and satisfaction of needs are connected to money is very difficult indeed. Its meant to take away from them the possibilty of supportingAutonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn — ROTE ZORA 40 Rote ZORA themselves, to connect to their own traditions of lifestyle, to hinder contacts and a social life ‘among them, and thereby to expose them to the racist arbitrariness of the authorities, Exchange of experiences and advising with others are hindered, lawyers are no longer being paid, and thereby the legal remedies are in fact abolished. Also the medical health care was drastically reduced. Only acule life-threatening and infec- tious diseases are being treated, but not chronic diseases or longtermed results of under- Nourishment, torture, war injuries and (Sexual) violence....what and who is granted treatment is decided by the arbitrariness of the authorities. ‘The being without money is connected to forced labour with hourly wages as 2 DM, by refusing to work even the ridiculous pocket money ( 40 DM for chikiren, 80 DM for adults ‘and teenagers per month) can be withdrawn - which is all connected to the inevitable prospect of deportation. ‘Who manages to stay here more than 3 months is no longer subdued to prohibition on working. But refugees only get the miserable and badly paid jobs, which people with Westeuropean passports would never accept. Because of the lack of prospects by staying here living under the new asylum law, more and more refugees and also families withdraw to an illegal existence. This means an even more extreme existential unsecurity, hunger and housing shortage. To be able to live here many women have as illegals no cther choice than to expose themselves to the sex-business makers. Tho sights of rfuges women and men have brought about some successfull results : For example in Koln a reduced form of public assistance is being paid, and in Freiburg at least at refugees who have been more than 1 year in BRD. When some cities and municipalities have been ready for compromises itis also due to the fact that the distribution of "material Payment" means a more extensive administration and organization. For theese reasons for example Berlin, Hamburg, Kassel and many others refused to introduce the principle of “material payment” . But because there are strong political interests in forcing through an inhuman treatment of refugees, there is now @ new thrust on its way from Birzele ( Minister of home affairs in Bacien-Wirtenberg) - according to this the principle of “material payment” is to be extended to ALL refugees, no matter how long they have already been in the BRD. This must be stopped! F ocinenious businssrren the cistitution of God packets means a new market and possibilities for making profits. The article value of the packets is far below the prize, which the cities pay for them. The expenses for packing, transport ...are being pushed on the refugees. So the refugees in fact only receive 50% of the value of the public assistance they originally had the right to . The businessmen also make a lot of profit because of the miserable quality of the food. Old and perishable goods, which can no longer be sold in the shops, are distributed via food packets to refugees. If they refuse to eat this shit, the Good Germans accuse them of bsing ungrateful Tnthe busines of tod provisioning for refugee women, children and men the Bavarian businessman Herbert Weig| is the main profit monger and one of the most important profit makers of the state refugee policy. The firm Weigl in Niimberg secured themselves the Contracts of provision for all refugee shelters in Bavaria and in many other regions. To get ‘as much profit as possible the firm Weigl uses its subsidiary company Meigo to produce cheap canned vegetables and fruit in the ex-DDR. Meigo runs the provisions for refugee shelters first of all in Sachsen, ThUringen, Brandenburg and Berlin, but also in other regions + for example in NordRheinWestphalen. In the country as a whole Weigl/Meigo gain their profits at the expense of 20.000 people, who are being forcibly provided. Weigl-meat in Hirscheid/Bavaria sometimes deliver green, rotten meat; another Weigl subsidiary company ‘Ogeva in Leipzig produces the canned goods, while the tin packing come from the subsidiary firm Cantop in Eisenhittenstadt41 Foor tne retugee women, children and men the packet provisioning means being put under tutelage and humiliation. Besides the humiliating conditions the refugees live under in refugee homes and camps (isolated from the rest of the population, with fences and guards, tentry- and exit control...) now has come the compulsion to eat what is being put in front of them. The last expression of self-provisioning, self-responsibility and self-confidence is being destroyed. The distribution of food packets in refugee homes and camps is the kind of provisioning that exists in prisons and phsyciatric institutions. The object of this is always expropriation, alienation, goal-directed humiliation and degradation, which aim at reducing self-responsible, self-confident acting and social experiences, to break resisting and deprecating behaviour. In this way they always try to form people to a dependent mass easy to handle bureaucratically, where misantrophic things can easily be practized. But the refugee women and men throw grit into the maschinery of the writing desk offenders and greedy businessmen ! Tro prepare food and to eat tke place in a social context. What we eat, who and how we cook, where and how we eat - has something to do with our habits, traditions and social structures... on one hand, and with division of labour according to gender, social and technological destruction, alienation and expropriation on the other hand. In most societies of the world today it has been patriarchally accomplished, that women are responsible of the (men of) family, or often if without men responsible for the children. Tie special tows are not neural sex. The use ofthe socalled “Asylum seeker supply of provisions"-Act is especially directed against the refugee women, Substandard forced provisioning makes it more difficutt to provide the family, it loads the women, makes the female reproduction labour under camp and forced provisioning conditions extrawork in the family and administration of misery , especially for the women with children. Ready prepared dishes and packet provision also aim at cultural submission. It is part of the expropriation and destruction of the traditional female life - and reproduction activities, of the female knowledge and abilities and thereby also of the self-esteem and self-confidence ‘of women. it hinders an often naturalness of hospitality. Communication and social appreciation in connexion with commen meals is not possible then. The special tws suppor the meintsining and renewal of patarchal conditions of lence. Under the camp conditions women get more dependent on their men, and on the patriarchal-racist institutions (refugee administration) and its representatives. Male gression turns against the women, who can no longer fulfil their role of being responsible for the food for the family. . ‘The conditions in the refugee homes, the lack of any possibility of retirering for women, the lapse of female relationships ... often increases the situation of the women untill the unbearable. Sexual attacks, coercions and rapes from guards and from male camp inmates are part of everyday life for the women. Difficutties with language, provisioning problems increase the isolation of women : even the go shopping lapses, invitations and parties are more difficult to make. Other possibilities of making money by working are easier for men, because they demand being part of the public iife and because they can move - free from any reproductive responsability . For women there only remains the badly paid jobs es cleaning, prostituion and begging. The resistence and fight ofthe refugee women frst of al deal wih questions conceming the social reproduction, of renewal of the social relations which have been destroyed during the refugee and camp conditions (including the relations among the women themselves), beyond exploitation, sexual disposal, violent submission - for a life and right to exist in dignity. ROTE ZORA Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 VuOZ, ALO42 Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 The state refugee policy, accompanied by undiminished persecution against refugees and immigrants and attacks against homeless and handicapped people etc. means moving towards a social polarization unknown till now in the post-war period of Germany. The capitalist patriarchy, which renews its power via racist, sexual and social attacks, makes the Possibility of exploitation of people to yardstick for their raison d'etre and also in the metropoles dectares the not-exploitable for a superfluous population, whose right to exist again quite openly is being called in question and who therefore can be subjected to “special treatment”. The special laws against refugees are part of a general policy of expulsion of old, handicapped, ill and poor people. Hereby adaption and submission under an aggravated exploitation order are being forced through : Increasing unemployment, Poverty and as a result of this an extension and legalization of the socelled second labour market (miserable wages without social security and terms of notice). Especially female Immigrantsirefugees and also women without German passport are affected by this. At the ‘same time also the illegal ("3.rd.") labour market was extended, which is also the only possi- bllty of paid work for illegaly here living Immigrants (extension of prostitution and trade in women from Easter Europe, cleaning services and street trade). Fannemore the patriarchal structures renew and secure themselves, women are increasingly and aggravatingly being confronted with sexual violence and expioitation. The hhigh unemployment for women, especially for women in the ex-DDR, force women into miserable exploitation conditions with sexual harrassment in the place of work and stronger economic dependence on men. More and more men now organize to oppose the womens/ lesbians movement's attacks against sexual violence, (For example : "Missbrauch mi dem Missbrauch” = Abuse of the abuse) The threat against the existence (thats : having the status as "superfluous population”) forthe illegals, the war refugees and the people subjected to the new asylum procedure can directly be transformed to extreme exploitation possibilities for the extension of the 2.nd and S.rd. labour market, and this the rulers welcome indeed. They serve as "basis " of attacks on wages in generel, with which the rulers stabilize the German economic dominating Position - many people, including the "Multi-kultis" (= mui cultural orientated people) even support this !

The background being a general, political need to make a status of the last 20 years of autonome resistance, to reflect the experiences done within the motley, autonome movement - our victories and defeats and periodical highlights in the wake of the Fulers initiatives / projects. The other important reason for making an autonome congress is to create a discussionsprocess and exchange of experiences conceming common issues, which might contribute to a perspectivating of the autonome resistance overcomming the existing differences in age, sex, ethnical background etc. Untill now there have been 2 countrywide preparing meetings - the last one was in Kassel 26-28 aug.24. In many cities the prepararations have begun, discussionpapers have been published ete. In Kassel there were 60 activists from more than 17 cities present - from West as well as from East Germany. The beginning of the meeting wes characterized by situation reports from the different cities ( Common problems in the resistance milieus were : generation conflicts, the dissolving of original structures, hostility towards theory, competion - and Conflict relations between the different groups) A number of reservations towards the Congress came from people from Easigerman cities. They wanted to clarify their positions first and expressed a fear of being dominated by the autonomes from the West. They also Said, that the interest in an autonome congress was relatively small in the Eastem part of Germany, but they did not exclude that this attitude could change concurrentlyAutonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 with the concrete creation of the congress. ‘The activists from Eastem Germany said that they will give priority to organizing their own preparation-meeting for Eastgerman autonomes. to manifest their specific resistance experiences and identity as east. autonomes, At the meeting in Kassel also following issues were discussed * STRUCTURE - The discussion dealt with a concept of getting to know eachother and of involving not-organized people in discussions / workshops, %® RESISTANCE PERSPECTIVES - This discussion dealt with the possible contradiction in 2 common discussion of HOW the resistance Could develop in the future and the need to manifest the strenght of the congress externally. % THE ROLE OF PUBLIC KNOWN PERSONALITIES - There was a disagreement whether known autonome / revolutionary personalities should get a platform at the congress or it should only be based on collective connexionsigroups and activists. it was agreed to organize big plenary sessions, where also known people could have the possibilty of participating, For example in issues like : the history of the autonome movement. At the next preparation meeting - possibly the 26/27. November in Hamburg, the discussions are primarily going to deal with structuring the central issues for the autonome resistance ( inkiuding the question * culture” during the congress ). The first " Reader" hes been made containing different autonome contributions coneeming the congress, Ps. We intend to participate in the congress with our own contributions, and we hope that the initiators of the congress politically and organizational wil take into account the participation of different autonome groups iconnexions / individuals from outside Germany.

A REPORT FROM = > S MILANO Re - squatting of “Centro Sociale Leoncavallo" and Italianwide demo in Milano ‘THE HISTORY OF LEONCAVALLO. ‘One of the oldest, biggest and for North Italy most important poltical contre is the" Leoncavallo ” in Milano. " Leoncavallo "is a "centro sociale".The "centro sociale" were formed during the 70'ies as an expression and form of organization of a strong leftradical movement in Italy - the autonomes - this movement was and is very much orientated to basis-, quarter- and workersmovements, Leoncavailo was squatted in a Northeast, working-class quarter of Milano in 1975. It became an autonome centre with a lot of activities, such as: café, sport facilities, concert hall, library, photo workshop, theater group, printing house, kindergerden, education for unskilled or unemployed workers, health centre with free health provisioning and a gynaecologist centre. But concurrently with the decline of the social and autonome movement in the 80'ies a lot of these activities stopped and with them also important links to the local inhabitants of the quarter. 1978 two young comrades, FAUSTO and JA/O , were shut down and killed by fascists in a side street to the centre. After this event a group called " mamma de Leoncavallo” was formed,and this {group is stil active for the project...

Accused of attacks against the Danish Consulate in Ghent , Belgium in protest against the Danish police's shooting down of anti-EU activists the 18.May 1993 . We have received the following press release end statement from comrades in Belgium SUPPORT POLITICAL PRISONERS IN BELGIUM @ In May and June of last year, several actions were undertaken against the Danish Consulate in Ghent, Belgium. A molotovcoc- tail was thrown against their gate and windows were smashed with stones and butyric acid bombs (stinks !). These actions are to be situated in a campaign against the Danish European policy and particularly against their police actions on the anti-Europe demonstration of May the 18th 1993. Eleven activists were shot then in a ultra-violent police charge. Two communiquees were sent to the public and alternative press to declare the reasons for these actions. In the month of October last year the anarchist movement in Ghent was held responsible for all attacks on the Consulate. aj group of squatters were evicted, while seven other houses and Pubs were searched. No incriminating evidence was found con- cerning the June actions. Especially the public press conside- red it as a clear case of anarchist violence. Six months later, on March the 28th, two persons, again des- cribed as ‘(central) elements within the anarchist groups of Ghent', ware busted by the undercover section of the 'Rijks- wacht', the Belgian national police force. According to the lawyers of the people arrested no extra evidence was found, though. One of the two was emprisoned for only one day. The other man, accused for all attacks on the Danish Consulate will remain in prison for three weeks, as far as we know for the moment. Half April the judge will decide wether this case will be prosecuted furtheron or not. In the worst case the man arrested will be charged with ‘arson by night! and this wit- hout real evidence... To support this prisoner by means of actions and money a "Sup~ port Group Political Prisoners" was founded in Ghent. We also consider this juridical operation undoubtedly as a form of intimidation and political ‘criminalisation of the anarchist movement.53 infos from BELGIUM Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 WE REPRESSION IN GENT, CASE WIM ‘This piece is an actualised report concerning the case of repression against Wim in Gent (Belgium). Wim is suspected of three acts of vandalism against the Danish Con sulate of Gent in the spring of *93. He was arrested on March 28th ‘94 and prisonised for 2S days, during which he appeared several times in Council Chamber and Chamber of Indictment. At none of these sittings, neither during the examinations, there was nota trace of any solid evidence against his person, Many people wonder what could be the intention of court (or whatever) in all this; ciminalising the anarchist movement in Gent, maybe? A short discription of the case by Wim himself follows : Less than five weeks after my provisional release (April 21th) I had to appear again in Council Chamber on May 25th (exactly one year after the first attack). Here they should dicide whether the case was going to be remitted to the Correctional Court or whether there will no longer be any prosecution. Situation 8th of June ‘94. It is rather surprising that this case was opened again in Council Chamber so quickly afer my provisional release. The fle was already closed and didn’t contain any clear evidences or arguments against me, It looks lke they're only basing this way of acting con my politcal faith. The le contains more questions than answers anyway. Concerning the sitting itself: just before it started, I was consulting my lawyer for a short while, when 2 member of the B.O.B. (kind of undercover policeman) appeared again, This was striking me so much that I started to call him names. These guys ('ve never seen a woman amongst them) just never stop. in there were many people to support me. It was the firs time that I entered Court without handcuffs and through the head-entrance, It was positive to me I could freely talk to people, but the fury and annoyance about the whole case is becoming bigger all the time At the sitting itself (Council Chamber is not open to public) it was the investigator who started, He gave a short account of the attacks against the Danish Consulate and ended with the remarkable conclusion “that he had many doubts about the case but that it was not susceptible to publication”. The investigator wes conceding - how else can one inter- prete this - that they arrested the wrong person | Nest to speak was the attorney (not the general-attorncy). He only seid : “committal for triai” (correctional this means), and that was that. ‘My lawyers made the seme plea as they did before in Council Chamber (Ist of April) and in Chamber of Indictment (15th of April), although with some new supplies. Also they ‘made further questions about the file, but the attorney refused to give a single answer, At the end it was my tum to speak. It was clear to me, more than ever before, that they arrested end prisonised me only because of my politcal faith, I said that it was inconcei- vable to keep me 25 days in prison (the first three of them in isolation) on such poor grounds as were present in the file, [complained also stronaly about the interrogations (eats, fies, insinustions, and so on) and about how I've been trestened in prison (nageings from the warders, visits anly behind glas, no phone-cell, denial to give ve~ getarian food,..) and in Court (excess of policemen, provocative presence of BOB-mem- bers.) My lawyers demanded thet if there is coming a prosecution, this case should be remit- ted to Suprime Court (in Belgium especially for political crimes and felony) , because it is clearly a politcal case, They were also criticising the presence of BOB in the Icbbies of Court ‘The verdict of this case will follow on June 29. The general-attomey already announcedAutonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 INFOS from BELGIUM that if the verdict is ‘no prosecution’ he will lodge an appeal against it, which means that the case appears again in Chamber of Indictment where a final decission will be made Situation 11th of July ‘94 is no incriminating evidence, there will be NO PROSECUSION.” Only one day later, nevertheless, the general-attorney lodged an appeal against this dict.

People like Mumia Abu Jamal, Oscar Lépez-Rivera, Timothy Blunk, Laura Whitehorn, Sundiata Acoli, Ida Luz Rodriguez, Leonard Peltier, Geronimo Pratt, Yu Kikamora, Carmen Valentin and Tom Manning are imprisoned right here for their politically motivated actions and beliefs.

Most have received sentences ranging from 15 years to life.

Mumia was a prominent member of the Black Panther Party in Philadelphia and later distinguished himself as a radio journalist. Known as ‘The Voice of the Voiceless,' Mumia spoke out on behalf of the poor and oppressed, particularly those of Philadelphia's Black community. In the late 1970's he was the sole reporter daring to defy the notoriously racist Philadelphia police to air the truth about their persecution and subsequent armed assault against the radical organization MOVE. As a result, Mumia himself was targeted. In 1981 Mumia witnessed and intervened when he saw the police beating his brother on the street. In the ensuing struggle, Mumia was shot and critically wounded in the abdomen; the cop was killed with a bullet from his own gun.Autonomi Newsletter no.9 autumn 94 infos from USA 38 After being denied his legal representation of choice, MOVE founder John Africa, Mumia represented himself at trial before a jury from which Black people had been systematically excluded. It was a racist railroad. The jury was driven to vote for the death penalty using statements Mumia had made as a 16- year old Black Panther to prove that he had been looking for the chance to kill a cop ever since. During his iast 12 years on Pennsylvania's death row, \ mia has been a tireless activist against the death penalty. He has continued his journalism, publishing regular columns in newspapers around the US, He is a jailhouse lawyer for many of the young men with him on death row who are largely there because adequate legal counsel wasn't given to them at trial The warrant for Mumia's execution now sits on the desk of Governor Robert Casey, awaiting his signature; Mumia’s appeals are all but exhausted. The right-wing, led recently by Republican Senator and probable Presidential candidate Bob Dole, has been vehement in hastening the date of Mumia's execution, In June, Dole and law enforcement lobbyists were able to intimidate the US' National Public Radio network into dropping a scheduled series of interviews with Mumia. They are trying to ensure that there is no chance of a national outcry against what would be the first execution of a political prisoner since Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were electrocuted, We are calling upon you, political prisoners in the US and around the world, to answer this fascist drive to execute Mumia Abu Jamal with intemnationalist solidarity. Join us in presenting: “International Political Prisoners Unite to Save Mumia Abu Jamal: Art and Writings Against the Death Penalty*- a series of events scheduled for the week of December 10, 1994 (International Human Rights Day.)

We have published adresses of RAF - prisoners and addresses of some Anarchist [prisoners from different countries already. [But unfortunately we have not many such Jmilar addresses. |You probably dont know that there was a Radical Students demonstration in Moscow on 42.april. ( Some of our comrades participated too...) .

(By the way, Students are one of the most poor social groups in Russia now. ). ‘After this event our comrade was elected as chairman of new Radical Student Union * Students’ Defence ". itis rather funny, that anarchists begin to become union Bosses, isn’t?
