Tres anarquistas fueron detenidos por la policía en Varsovia, Polonia, el 23 de mayo del 2016. Las acusaciones son: tenencia de explosivos con la intención de utilizarlos en un coche policial para su incendio. Se les llama terroristas por la policía y los medios de comunicación, a pesar que el incendio provocado no se llevara acabo estas acusaciones son bastantes serias, se enfrentan desde 6 meses hasta 8 años de prisión. Las primeras audiencias de los compañeros tuvieron lugar el 24 de mayo, en la Oficina Fiscal de Distrito, donde se podían observar marcas de torturas en sus cuerpos. El 25 de mayo, durante la sesión de acusación en el tribunal de distrito, se decidió mantenerlos en prisión preventiva durante tres meses (que podría prolongarse de forma automática). Desde entonces, cada uno se encuentran en régimen de aislamiento, se les niega el derecho a comunicarse con sus familiares y durante la primera semana de su detención ninguno de ellos tenía acceso a un abogado.
Los medios de comunicación al servicio del Estado solo reproducen la propaganda de las autoridades. La caza de brujas comenzó, creando la histeria de las masas y la imagen del país amenazado por el terrorismo. De esta manera, las autoridades y sus colaboradores están tratando de justificar la aplicación de la nueva Ley Antiterrorista.
Significativamente, justo antes de la entrada en vigor de la ley, el 10 de mayo, 23 de mayo y 30 de mayo en varias ciudades polacas existieron una serie de falsas alarmas de bomba, lo que conlleva a la evacuación de sitios tales como la redacción de la prensa y la televisión, centros comerciales y bancos.
La ola de represión contra lxs anarquistas va en aumento. El 23 de mayo la policía ha realizado seguimientos a lxs compañerxs de un colectivo de Varsovia implicados en la lucha contra la promoción de la alimentación autoritaria. Desde entonces, el colectivo está constantemente acosado por estos “visitantes” uniformados. En Cracovia, registraron el departamento de una persona, ya que supuestamente administraba un sitio en las redes sociales donde ridiculizaban el accionar de la policía. De acuerdo a la información, en Varsovia se ha multiplicado el hostigamiento a las personas relacionadas con el movimiento anarquista e intentar vigilar los distintos espacios antiautoritarios.
Casi al mismo tiempo, la policía asesina a un hombre llamado Igor Stachowiak en Breslavia. Vano buscar aquí una reacción inmediata de indignación por parte de la multitud de políticos, periodistas, policías y expertos del terrorismo. Pocos periosdistas dan alguna señal, cuando la policía matan a un hombre. Sin embargo, los homicidios policiales son sólo la punta del iceberg. Extorsión, golpizas, la protección ilegal de los intereses de las personas influyentes – todos los años existen 16.000 quejas contra la policía, las autoridades reconocen sólo el 5 por ciento. Como resultado de años de selectividad y omisiones de los medios de comunicación, la policía se siente impune.
La atmósfera de la caza de brujas como campaña contra el movimiento anarquista es una amplia construcción de represión y vigilancia hacia los entornos de esta orientación, que están luchando contra los grupos de interés más influyentes en este país. El movimiento anarquista ha sido activa, entre otros, en lxs grupos de trabajadorxs, inquilinxs, ecologistas, antirracistas y la lucha contra el acaparamiento de tierras. Funciona sin concesiones a favor de la justicia social, contra la opresión de las élites empresariales y políticas. La falta de control social sobre la policía, durante años les permitió utilizar la violencia incontrolada contra las personas que luchan en diversos campos contra el sistema violento.
Lo que necesitamos en este momento es la firme solidaridad ante los próximos ataques contra los detenidos de parte del Estado! El 2 de julio, en Varsovia, se llevará a cabo piquetes en solidaridad con los detenidos. Contamos con acciones solidarias en otras ciudades. También pueden ayudar en la recaudación de fondos para pagar los abogados y apoyar financieramente a los detenidos.
Nosotrxs no seremos intimidadxs!
Libertad para los tres Varsovia y todos los rehenes del Estado!

Free the Warsaw Anarchist Three!
Three anarchists were arrested by police in Warsaw, Poland, 23rd may 2016. The accusations are: possession of explosives and intending to use them by setting police car on fire. They are called terrorists by police and media, despite the fact, that the arson didn’t actually take place This accusations are quite serious- they face from 6 months to 8 years of jail. First hearings of the accused took place at District Prosecutor’s Office on 24th may. Marks of tortures were visible on their bodies. On 25th may, during prosecution session at district court, prosecution decided to hold them in custody for three months (that might be automatically prolonged). Since then, each of the three is detained in isolation, denied the right to communicate with relatives, during the first week of detention none of them had access to a lawyer.
Mass media in the service of the state reproduce authorities propaganda. Witch-hunt begun, creating mass hysteria and the image of the country threaten by terrorism. By doing this, the authorities and their collaborators are trying to justify the implementation of the new Anti-Terror Law. Significantly, just before the entry into force of the Act on 10th May, 23rd May and 30th May in several Polish cities a series of false bomb alarms took place, leading to evacuation of sites such as the editorial office of the press and television, shopping centers, and banks.
The wave of repression against the anarchist environment is rising. Also on May 23rd the police four times haunted one of Warsaw’s collectives involved in combating the developer and the struggle for the food sovereignty. Since then, the collective is constantly harassed by uniformed visitors. In Krakow, they searched the apartment and questioned a person who have set up a social media site ridiculing inflated police accusations. In Warsaw information multiply about police bothering people associated with the movement, and attempting surveillance of places that are important for the environment.
Almost at the same time a police murder of Igor from Wroclaw took place No way to find there an immediate response and outrage of the multitude of politicians, journalists, police officers and terrorism experts. Almost no journalist will even sigh, when cops kill a man. Yet police killings are only the tip of the iceberg. Extortion, beatings, unlawful protection of the interests of influential people – every year among the 16,000 complaints against the police, authorities recognize only 5 percent. As a result of years of media selectivity and omissions, the police feels impunity.
The witch-hunt atmosphere of the campaign against the broad anarchist movement is building consent for repression and surveillance targeting environments, that are fighting the most influential interest groups in this country. The anarchist movement has been active, among other, in workers, tenants, ecological, anti-racist groups and the fight against land-grabbing. It acts without compromise, for social justice, against the repression from business and political elites. Lack of social control over the police, for years allowed them to use uncontrolled violence against people combating the system of violence in various fields.
What we need at this moment is the firm stance of solidarity with the arrested and against upcoming attacks from the state! Already on July 2, in Warsaw, picket of solidarity with the arrested will be held. We also count on your solidarity actions in other cities. You can also help in the collection of funds to pay the lawyers and to financially support detainees.
We will not be intimidated! Free the Warsaw Three and all hostages of the state!
