On Sunday, January 27th, 2019, an info event was held att Kaf\u00e9 44:an in Stockholm about 10 detained and 1 imprisoned comrade in S:t Petersburg and the city of Penza south-east of Moscow.<\/p>\n
Afterward a solidarity manifestation was held outside the russian embassy in Stockholm. The manifestation was directed mainly toward the ten now detained, but in protest against the total of torture and violence carried out on all 11 originally belonging to the case. About 15 people participated in each event. The gathered were meet by a number of police and were after a shorter turmoil forcibly removed from the entrance of the embassy to a park in the close vicinity.<\/p>\n
The support events that took place were in solidarity of 10 previously and currently politicaly active anarchists and antifascists who have been detained sinced October 2017 and January 2018 accused of belonging to a terrorist network. The network according to russian secret security service, FSB, was planing to attack the elections of March 2018 in Russia, and the following FIFA worldcup in the summer of 2018. No such reliable evidence lies at hand today. All detained have been under heavy and systematic torture and violence by FSB and all current evidence in the case has been fabricated under these circumstances.<\/p>\n
One of the previously 11 detained has worked along to the full with the FSB after longtime torture and he has now been sentenced to 3,5 years in prison. He is not currently supported by the anarchist black cross
\nmovement in Russia.<\/p>\n
We clearly stated during our manifestation that we support movements and
\nactivists fighting for economical, political and juridical equality.
\nThese movements and activists are under heavy pressure in Russia since
\n2012 and periodically also in Sweden. We stated that if there would have
\nbeen planed political actions against the elections and FIFA-games, it
\nwould have been a positive thing, depending on the means of how these
\nactivities were carried out.<\/p>\n
To further support the detained in S:t Petersburg and Penza, you can
\ncontribute with money to the support fund (b\u00f6tesfonden). The support
\nfund is run by F\u00e5nggruppen Syd, in southern Sweden. Money is transferred
\nto ABC-Moscow (anarchist black cross) to support the detained with legal
\nassistance, medicines and food.<\/p>\n

Speach held outside the Russian embassy:<\/p>\n
“Companions, friends and listeners! We have gathered this dark and
\ndreary evening outside the russian embassy, to show our support for ten
\ndetained politically active people in russian S:t Petersburg and Penza.
\nThey have been locked up since October 2017 for a suspected complott
\nagainst the elections and soccer world championship of 2018. If
\npolitical action was planned to put into light the corruption and
\ninhumane economic exploitation carried out by political and capital
\nforces organizing these events, it would be a good thing such actions
\nwere done.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately so is not the case. All proof of the political actions
\nthese ten people have been locked up for has been forcibly created under
\nheavy physical torture. The so called terrorist network has never
\nexisted. It is a fabricated case. All evidence found on the sights has
\nbeen planted.<\/p>\n
It is said these ten people belonged to a terrorist cell with the aims
\nto complete actions against the elections and FIFA-games.
\nThe truth is that one of the main political activities of the detained
\nwas social work delivering and gathering clothes and food for homeless.<\/p>\n
It is said that these ten young fellows were a threat to the russian
\nstate.
\nWe say that basic social work is not a threat but a contribution to the
\nrussian society.<\/p>\n
The claim is to sentence our ten friends and neighbors to many years in
\nprison on charges of terrorism. The answer to this is that all factuall
\nevidence of proof which may have existed, may no longer be counted as
\nreliable, after 16 months of electrical torture and continous physical
\nviolence to create evidence.<\/p>\n
Our definite and soul purpose of gathering outside the russian embassy
\nthis evening is to send a signal to the russian authoroties that the
\nfabricated case against the ten detained should be emidiately closed,
\nall charges dropped, and economic compensation be given for 16 months of
\nillegal detention.<\/p>\n
We state that the security services of Sweden and Russia who are most
\nprobably closely monitoring our activities today, represent systems of
\ndemise and obliviance against basic economical, parliamentarical and
\njurudical equality for all citizens alike.<\/p>\n
We call for you who are here in favor of the detained to be brave and
\nnot mistrust. For remember that the louder the gathered crowds yell at
\nthe ones to be hung at the gallows, the more it is actually a growing
\nfrustration against the leaders in command. A frustration that will at
\nany given moment turn on the leaders themselves holding in the strings
\nto the gallows.<\/p>\n
We urge you to spread the word to friends, comrads and family to help
\ngather support for our detained and tortured fellow neighbors.
\nThank you for attending today and keep up the good fight!”<\/p>\n\n
