Letter from prison from Ivan, “Solidarity means attack”

June 15,2022

My name is Ivan, I am an anarchist.
Twas arrested by the SDAT [1] on Saturday, June 11, around 3:30 am, not far from
my home, while I was returning home.

T.am charged with six vehicle fires that took place in Paris and Montreuil between
January and June, often claimed in solidarity with anarchist prisoners (in the last
one, an embassy car was set on fire the night | was arrested, in the 17th [21),

For months, the cops set up surveillance tails, wiretaps, installed a camera in the
entrance of my building, intercepted my mail (including letters from imprisoned
‘comrades) and watched my bank account.

Another person (we only know each other by sight, but I hold him in high esteem)
has been followed, listened to, etc., also, but not implicated. Courage, my old
friend!

‘The SDAT investigation began in February 2022 on the orders of the prosecutor
Laure-Anne Boulanger, from the Bobigny prosecutor’s office. They also pulled
another investigation out of the drawers, closed, which had been conducted by
other cops, on about fifty vehicle arsons, claimed by anarchists, in Paris and its
surroundings, between June 2017 and 2021. The SDAT “joined” the two
investigations, but the investigating judge (Stéphanie Lahaye of the Bobigny court)
retained only the last six actions. For the others, | am a “counseling witness”.

In addition to “destruction by dangerous means”, there are also charges of
endangering the lives of others, refusal of the identification (photos, DNA,
fingerprints, they did not take them from me by force, despite threats), refusal to
give the encryption passwords of my computers and the passwords of my phones.

At the moment, I am in pre-trial detention at the Villepinte prison. I'm in good
shape, I'm doing well even if | miss my close ones a lot. Its normal, its prison, and
you have to take it into account when you are an enemy of this society. The return
from the yard is the hardest moment here. Its when the door closes until the next
day. But I turn towards the window and look out. Out there, somewhere, comrades
are still fighting. Nothing is over.
As soon as I get more information about this case, I'll write more (I don’t have
much else to do).

My thoughts are with the anarchists in prison, all over the world: with Damien (in
Draguignan), with Alfredo, with Anna, with Juan, with Toby, with Giannis
Michailidis on hunger strike.... and with all of you, out there!

Solidarity means attack!
Long live anarchy!

Ivan

Thinking of the comrade imprisoned in Villepinte accused of buming diplomatic

‘There are no isolated arsonists

An anarchist companion, Ivan, was arrested in the Paris region on June 11, 2022.
He is suspected of several car arsons: cars with diplomatic plates, cars of the rich,
of Enedis, and of others.

We consider the arson and sabotage of cars, cell towers, electricity pylons and
corporate targets as a strategy of the international anarchist struggle.

‘The omnipresence of our enemies makes them vulnerable. Some targets seem
unreachable, yet all their tentacles are Achilles heels. If a company’s headquarters
is difficult to access, we can torch one of its many cars, its branches and its power
supply. We find joy in severing these tentacles, alone or in groups, with or without
claims, with the means at hand or with more sophisticated techniques. In this way,
‘we attack specific structures of domination.

‘These attacks take place everywhere, all the time, because they are reproducible
and the targets are on every street corer.

We attack because we do not accept the horror of this world, because it is a way to
show our solidarity, because we want to put a grain of sand in the gears of power.
For all these reasons, these attacks bring us joy.

Solidarity with anarchist prisoners!
Freedom for all!
To the attack!
