Text from a solidarity meal with two comrades blackmailed by justice, within the frame of the struggle against the deportation machine
Monday 3 May 2010
All the versions of this article: [English] [français]
In June 2008, people without papers set their prison on fire. The biggest
prison for immigrants, the asylum camp of Vincennes, goes up in flames. Ten
people, chosen “by chance†, serve as an example during a trial of which the
outcome was not surprising (8 months to 3 years of prison sentence).*
*Since the arson, dozens of acts in solidarity, throughout the whole of
France, broke the calm and silence that this justice of peace wanted to
impose: pamphlets, posters, wild and loud demos, sabotage of ATM’s which
give away their clients without papers to the cops, dropping of banners,
material attacks and devastating occupations of collaborators of the
deportation machine and their premises, aswell as numerous tags and other
offensive means. In February and June 2010, several people get their houses
searched and are arrested by the Anti-terrorist section of the criminal
brigade in the framework of an open investigation around this struggle
without mediation against the deportation machine.*
*In January 2011, two comrades who were already included in the
investigation of 2010 are arrested for tagging (long live insurrection –
Egypt, Tunesia everywhere). They are immediately put in jail on the pretext
that a tag is a “minimal form of direct action†et that they didn’t respect
their judiciairy control...After three months of preventive prison, they
leave prison mid April with each 2000 euros to pay for “justice costs†and
“compensation of possible plaintiffs†...(the carrot being that when they
don’t pay, they go back to jail.)*
Because we share the desire of freedom which is theirs and the struggle for
a world without borders and all the social relations which enlock us, we
made the choice of not leaving them alone facing this desgusting
alternative.
The state constraints us of paying (a small) part of the bill...Let’s not
forget to pay them back the change!
