47 ans et mère de deux filles violées par leur père, Jacqueline Sauvage a abattu son mari

peines a refusé cette libération en aout, la cour d'appel vient de confirmer ce refus.

que Jacqueline Sauvage «peine encore à ce jour à accéder à un réel et authentique

you to the launch of "Revolution in Rojava", an eye-witness account on the experience of
creating a bottom up social order which actively challenges all forms of oppression and
exploitation. The struggle in Rojava (a mostly Kurdish region north of Syria), despite the
extent of counterrevolutionary and imperialist forces aligned against it, continues to
nurture an autonomous, grassroots resistance across its multiply ethno-religious
communities. The book describes in detail the experiences of the participants, the social
and ideological evolution of the popular struggle, and most importantly, the attempt, in
the most adverse circumstances imaginable, to nurture horizontalist social structures that

street of the cafe. Morever they tried to ask for tea. Naturally the murderers are never
given anything in 26A. ---- Police get annoyed and closed both ends of the street with the
pretext of "security". Police, "offended" by this "discrimination", didn't let the people
coming to the cafe into the street. Moreover they harrassed the volunteers with identity
control and called the municipal police of Kadikoy for regulatory control. When it didn't
work, they continued their harrasements with undocumented worker control for our cafe

(en) anarkismo.net: The Authoritarian Vision of Che Guevara by Wayne Price
Review of Samuel Farber, The Politics of Che Guevara (2016) ---- The recent death of Fidel
Castro makes it timely to review this account of how Che Guevara and Fidel Castro created
the ideology and social structure of "Communist" Cuba. ---- Ernesto (Che) Guevara has
become an international icon of the left. Pictures of the martyred revolutionary are
widely seen on tee-shirts and posters, not to mention coffee cups. Movies have been of his
life. He appears even in musicals and movies about unrelated people (for example,
"Evita"). He is admired by people who know little or nothing about him, including liberals
who would never advocate a revolution in their own country. He is also admired by people
who would like a revolution, one which would reorganize the U.S. to have the same system
as Castroite Cuba. There are those who condemn Che (and Castro's Cuba) in the name of

(en) Britain, afed: RISEUP'S CANARY NOT UPDATED; RISEUP *MIGHT* BE COMPROMISED. BACKUP ALL THE THINGS. by alice fleabite
Riseup might be compromised. My advice is to keep using it for now but 1) backup
everything on it. 2) don't use it to discuss anything illegal or of potential interest to
usa government in a crack down on its internal dissidents. 3) keep organising and don't
let fear of something that may or may not have happened stop us from radical action. ----
Long version: ---- https://riseup.net/canary ---- Here is all that we know for sure: ----
1) Riseup use a canary system as a warning system that they have had a security order
placed on them including a gag component. They have stated that if such an order were
placed on them compromising their services, that they will not update their canary page.
---- 2) Their canary page was due updated last week, but has not. Due is slight
exaggeration - they state they will endeavour to update every quarter, and their last

(en) US, Black Rose Anarchist Federation: END THE MALE-STATE VIOLENCE!: STATEMENT FROM ANARCHIST WOMEN ON SEXUAL ABUSE LAW
Posted on November 25, 2016 - Federation Tags: anarcha-feminism, Devrimci Anarsist
Faaliyet, feminism, international, Turkey, women's liberation ---- Statement from the
organization Anarchist Women on the "sexual abuse" bill proposed by the governing AK Party
in Turkey, which was recently withdrawn after mass protests from women. Among other
things, the bill would have pardoned men who raped underage girls if the girls married
their rapists. As the AKP is currently ruling through de-facto dictatorship, having
started an internal war against the Kurdish population, declared a permanent "state of
emergency", fired thousands upon thousands of state workers, and arrested the leaders of
the leftist People's Democratic Party (HDP), any victory at all against the government is
significant. However, as Anarchist Women note, this is not a permanent victory, and the

LETS, a Local Exchange Trading Systems or local currency systems are based on the exchange
by the commodities or services for locally produced units that are to supplement or
substitute national currencies in the region. ---- Stephen Gudeman in his book The
Economy's Tension: The Dialectics of Community and Market (2008) describes LETS with an
emphasis on reciprocity, which provides a very local level of the system: "LETS defines
the market environment, prohibits the levying of interest, allows a specific range of
goods and often emphasizes community values and motives. " ---- The first system is the
local currency recorded in 1983, when the Briton Michael Linton introduced in Canada
Courtenay local currency in the form of so-called. Green Dollars . Linton emigrated to
Canada in the '70s. Here he sought to find out how to relate to each other the social

(en) Britain, afed: ANARCHISTS ON CUBA
It will be difficult to escape the eulogies to Fidel Castro (1926-2016) from the British
Left. Jeremy Corbyn's take is perhaps most significant though. Treading a tightrope
between his enthusiasm for old-fashioned socialist values and the reality of modern
politics in Britain, his observations are revealing. He makes the very dangerous
relativistic argument that whilst in Cuba, as in other regimes, there have been
‘excesses', we have to look at the positives such as the healthcare system and education.
There has been much change in Cuba, he says, and that economic progress must go hand in
hand with human and free-speech rights. Above all, he says that Castro, "will be
remembered as a champion of social justice". ---- 10 US presidents threatened to oust
Castro and failed. Corbyn finds this impressive. It could have something to do with the
