Anarchists and Autonomists Arrested in French "Anti-Terror" sweep



Early on the morning of November 11th French anti terror police raided houses in 3 french towns arresting 20 individuals for the sabotage of high speed rail lines in France. The arrested are alleged by authorities to be part of an "anarchist-autonomous gang" responsible for "violent rhetoric" and rioting. One of the towns raided was the town of Tarnac which in recent years had become a sort of "libertarian" community made up of young anarchists and autonomists from all over France. According to Le Monde one of the arrested is supposed to have been one of the authors of an influential piece called "The Insurrection to Come".

Although the press gives varying numbers it is believed that 8-10 of the individuals caught up in these raids are still being held and will face terror charges.

The French establishment is afraid of a culture that is found meaning in many minds. It's now dreading a further growth in the silent growth of this simplicity.

Pan-European students should find themselves asking questions about this. Only then will they know that these are lies against simple people.
