A small group of anarchists held a banner outside the Spanish consulate in Los Angeles, and handed out fliers about recent repression in Spain.
Operation Pandora is the name given to the raids that took place earlier this month in Spain and put several anarchists in prison on terrorism charges.
The group dispersed without incident. <\/p>

It was part of Operation Pandora, an anti-terrorist initiative carried out by the the highest level of the Spanish court system. Several houses were searched and eleven anarchist comrades were arrested. They did not know what charges they were accused of when they were arrested, just given a vague \u201canarchist terrorism\u201d charge.\r\n\r\nOn Thursday, December 18th, seven of them went to prison and the other four were released under surveillance. All of them are now accused of the participating in the GAC (Coordinated Anarchist Groups), a group of people who held some meetings and edited some books. Earlier in November, 2013, five people were arrested and two are still in prison. They are also accused of the participating in the GAC and also committing some direct actions against churches.\r\n\r\nThe coordination between the police force and the media during Operation Pandora was immediately apparent. Together, they created panic and justified the repressive operation in terms of \u201ccriminal groups\u201d, \u201cterrorists\u201d and \u201cviolent ones\u201d. These police raids happened one day after the enactment of the \u201cLey Mordaza\u201d, a very restrictive law that criminalizes disobedience and protest .\r\n\r\nWe are not surprised about the repression against the anarchist movement because our struggle against inequality through the self organization outside of laws and institutions make us undesirable for the state. They talk about \u201cterrorism\u201d when it is they who create terror and misery: the politicians and their laws, the bankers and their blackmails, the employing class and their exploitation, the cops and military with their repression and wars. Who are the \u201ccriminals\u201d? Who is \u201cviolent\u201d? Who are the \u201cterrorists\u201d?\r\n\r\nThe arrested people are our comrades. If they are terrorists, we are too. We build affinity, create alternatives, and point out who is robbing and exploiting us.\r\n\r\nBecause they are our friends,\r\nBecause they are our comrades,\r\nBecause we fight for Anarchism\r\nWe demand their immediate release!\r\nWe are in solidarity with them and will keep on fighting!\r\n\r\nThe struggle is the only way\r\n","author":"imc volunteer","parent_id":266948,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2014-12-27 17:19:09","modified":"2014-12-27 17:19:09","fileurl":""}]}
