A call of comrades from Chelyabinsk:

«We, Chelyabinsk anarchists, need international support and solidarity.

On the night of 20 February, Chelyabinsk anarchists were arrested and their homes searched in relation to the banner put on the Chelyabinsk FSB (Russian security service) building. Five persons were arrested, the homes of three of them were searched, three people became suspects under Article 213 part 1 of the Russian criminal code (Hooliganism). During the investigation, FSB officers freely tortured the detained, including the witnesses.

Our position in this case is refusing to cooperate with the authorities and open declaration of our anarchist views. We will seek justice against the people who tortured us. We are asking the anarchist community for financial aid and a solidarity campaign.»

Our comrades need 30 000 Rub (500 euro) for lawyer service.
