Anarchists for a free Palestine
“State violence affects many… It is directed against those who protest or against those who resist this normal state of affairs and do not accept it as a given. These are those who demonstrate against the genocide in Gaza and against the German government that supplies the weapons for it, and who are therefore exposed to the authoritarian and violent mix of police batons, imprisonment, threats by the judiciary, threats of deportation, loss of employment, and secret service surveillance. Or their demonstrations are completely banned. They are the ones who occupy universities and are beaten down with police violence.”
(Martin – Burkhard Garweg, „Greetings from Illegality”, Indymedia, 20 December 2024)
When German leftists are currently calling for solidarity against repression, for example for persecuted and imprisoned antifascists (with whom we also stand in solidarity!), they often remain silent about the massive wave of repression against the Free Palestine movement and migrant structures that has been ongoing since before October 2023. There is not even a small mention in solidarity, despite over 5,000 people in Berlin being under investigation for their stance on Palestine and despite the fact that every other day, Palestine solidarity activists are put on trial at the Amtsgericht Tiergarten Court.
In stark contrast we have Comrade Martin, who was able to escape the RAF search & hunt shortly after comrade Daniela Klette was arrested in Berlin-Kreuzberg on February 26th, 2024, and now remains underground. We can only agree with his descriptions of the extreme circumstances and systematic German state terrorism! Freedom and happiness, comrade, to you and all others in hiding!
Freedom for Daniela Klette, freedom for all prisoners – here and worldwide!
Resistance must be intersectional and internationalist in order to break up the ruling conditions and develop real opportunities for its overthrow. Which logically can only mean that solidarity against all repression – for all our prisoners, for all our people in hiding and persecuted – must be intersectional and internationalist.
In this sense, we are also calling for solidarity with comrade Bahar, who was imprisoned in the Lichtenberg prison for over four months for Palestine activism. And who was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for this, which she will have to serve if her appeal to the Federal Court of Justice is not successful.
Camps, cages, torture and murder – the “Israeli” prison regime must be dismantled!
Tens of thousands of Palestinian prisoners have been subjected to the murderous conditions in “Israel’s” prisons, many for years and decades. In addition to the genocide perpetrated by “Israel”, thousands of Palestinians have been taken hostage in Gaza. After the so-called “ceasefire”, a few hundred were finally released. But the genocide was only shifted to the West Bank, including hundreds more hostage-takings.
As anarchists for a free Palestine, at the demonstration for the freedom of Daniela Klette, we therefore want to draw particular attention to the Palestinian prisoners.
The terror against our friends and comrades must finally come to an end!
Freedom for Palestine – freedom and happiness for all prisoners and persecuted people worldwide!
From JVA VECHTA to SDE TEIMAN, Ⓐbolish all prisons – free them all!
