Unfortunately, Sindre has not received any of the letters that have been sent to him. We do not know if this is due to the centre withholding letters, but he still needs love and support.

Sindre’s support team is therefore changing the address. If you want to write letters, send them to Sindre’s family. They make sure Sindre gets all the letters. Write to: 

Sindre Annasson Persson 

Rudolf Jonassons väg 25B

24136 Eslöv

Sweden

(Sindre is an animal rights activist, 21 years old, from so-called Sweden. In October 2023, Sindre was sentenced to forensic psychiatric forced care, without end date, for actions against a former fur farmer.)

Please, send a letter to Sindre today, even if you already did so last week. It is likely the facility is stopping Sindre from receiving the letters that would’ve been sent previously, so the change of address should help ensuring he receives them from now on.

UNTIL ALL ARE FREE

“Jack loves rock climbing, history, Pilates with Nicole, Buddhism, poetry, vegan prison recipes, hip hop, straight edge, punk, carpentry/diy construction, sewing, he wants to hear anecdotes that felt special to you from just everyday things. You could write about a sunset or a wholesome gathering or a way a song made you feel.”

His birthday is March 1st.

Letters must be:

– black or blue ink only.
-any lenght

There’s no revolution without solidarity. Fight for our comrades.

Sindre is an animal rights activist, 21 years old, from so-called Sweden. Sindre is a kind and respected comrade in the animal rights community, who has fought against animal abusers in various ways.

In October 2023, Sindre was sentenced to forensic psychiatric forced care. The verdict refers to prosecution for actions in 2021, against the former fur farmer Niklas Pettersson. Sindre denies the alleged crime. Sindre was also sentenced to pay SEK 10,000 in damages to Niklas. The sentence was appealed, but later in 2023 The Court of Appeal upheld the verdict. If Sindre had not been sentenced to forensic psychiatric care, his prison sentence would have been only four months.

Sindre was detained immediately after the trial, on the ninth of October, and has since been imprisoned without an end date. A horrible sentence!

Support Sindre! Help him endure behind bars, let him know he’s not alone. Send letters to the following address:

Sindre Annasson Persson

Rättspsykiatriavdelning 1

Mellanköpingevägen 6

NO ONE IS FORGOTTEN! IN SOLIDARITY! 

Over the past years, an animal rights court case has been going on in the UK under a reporting ban, stopping the publicity of it. Folks are now asking for solidarity and support during their sentencing. Read their words below: 


“there is an ongoing animal rights case going through the Crown Court, regarding the rescue of animals. there is still a reporting ban in place, so we are extremely limited on the information we can share with you and the questions we can answer. one defendant was recently found “Not Guilty” by the jury, one is still yet to stand trial, one is awaiting a retrial, and three are due to be sentenced at Reading Crown Court on 2nd February 2024. we are calling for a show of support for them in court on this date, please share widely and come along if you can!

as raw as emotions might be on the day, we ask that you don’t behave in any way that could possibly backfire on the defendants in this case. please refrain from bringing any banners or placards, any that can be used will be provided. if you want to sit in on the actual hearing, it’s worth noting that your bags will be searched and any face coverings will (most likely) have to be removed. you won’t be alone if you choose to stay outside!

please have a read of this court support guide from Bristol Anti-Repression Campaign (@bristolantirepression), if you haven’t attended before. hope to see some of you there!”

Ladislav Kuc is a Slovakian animal liberation activist who has served a 12 year sentence after an explosive action in front of a McDonalds that resulted in no injuries or harm to anyone.

He was imprisoned on the 1st January 2012 and over the years his sentence was appealed over and over, at some point facing 25 years with the terrorism enhancements. He has served 12 years and is now out of prison.

His time in prison has been difficult and he has been denied basic medical care so he has spent the past few weeks sorting out doctors appointments.

On communications with him, he sounds incredibly grateful for all the support he has received, from donations to letters and has sent love to all who have reached out over the years.

Life back from prison is not easy transition. Lado has been in prison for over a decade, so a lot of things have changed, but also he still owes a big fine and money to his lawyer. We haven’t worked out how much is owed yet, so for now we are just re-sharing PhillyABC’s fundraiser for him, until we work out better options to get money to him and how much is actually needed.

Please join us in wishing Ladislav a huge welcome back to the outside and please, please donate a few coins to the fundraiser. He owes 1000s and needs all the support he can get. Even 5 USD is a massive help.

WELCOME BACK LADO!

Help wolf activists pay fines! (Link below)

“Six wolf activists saved wolves that were confined by hunters and received fines of 73,000 Norwegian kroner (EUR 6,500) for it. This fundraising campaign aims to gather enough money to cover the fines for the activists. Any remaining funds will be used for legal expenses if the case goes to court and for a fine fund if similar actions occur again.

In the early hours of Tuesday 2 January six Norwegian wolf activists entered the hunt area of Aurskog-Høland in southern Norway. Hunters had been tracking a number of wolves from the Fjornshöjden pack, limiting the animals’ movement with flag-lines.

It is common practice in Norway for hunters to harry wolves using flag-lines, temporary fences many miles long that the wolves do not dare to cross. The fenced area is tightened until the wolves have little freedom of movement. At this point all the wolves within the fenced area are shot.

The hunt began on New Year’s Day, and by nightfall a number of wolves were trapped in the flag-lined area. The hunters decided that the flag lines should stand over night, so that the wolves would be easier to kill next day.

Wolves from the pack were heard calling to each other across the flag-lines. The trapped animals were in all likelihood highly stressed, unable to return to the safety of the pack.

At the darkest point of the night six activists slipped quietly into the area. The activists removed large parts of the fence, allowing all but one of the animals to escape and return to their family members. Sadly, one wolf did not escape. This was the alpha female, mother of this year’s litter of cubs. She was shot on 2 January. But hunters confirmed that several of the cubs survived.

Five of the six activists were arrested. They spent the night in police cells, and were fined a total of NOK 73,000 (EUR 6,500).”

Please donate generously. At the time of this post, they have already managed to raise 62k NOK. It would be incredible if we could help get them over the 11k NOK left, so donate if you can afford it but if you’re unable to, please share to every platform you can think of!

IN SOLIDARITY – UNTIL ALL ARE FREE

Futuro Vegetal is a grassroots, non-hierarchal AR and environmental activist group. They’ve been taking a series of accountable and unaccountable actions, from spray painting yachts to sabotaging gas stations and burger kings.

Police repression targeting the group has been intense. Just last month, there were 30 arrests. 15 of those arrests happened on the same day, December 21st, in a coordinated police operation across a number of different cities in Spain. These people were then accused of being part of a “criminal organisation,” despite the group clearly not meeting the legal definition of one. Two people have additionally been charged with directing a “criminal organization.” Other charges brought against members of the group include property damage and public disorder.

Two activists have trials set to commence in May in France, with other activists awaiting trial dates.

It’s not only these arrests and charges the group has been dealing with. At the beginning of last year, they discovered an undercover cop who had infiltrated the group. A number of raids on homes have been conducted by both the Spanish and French police, some of them without a court order. Multiple devices and other items were seized. The group is aware they have been under police surveillance for some time.

Solidarity from the community towards people suffering police repression goes a long way. Future Vegetal is now calling for help with legal fees.

You can send them funds via https://opencollective.com/futurovegetal

You can keep up to date on their actions and court dates via their social media: Twitter, Insta and fb @futurovegetal and on their website: https://futurovegetal.org/
