 Dear comrades,
 please spread this call for swedidish ELF/anarchist prisoner Jonatan 
 and publish it on lists, blogs and websites. Jonatan is in a closed 
 prison far away from his comrades, friends and supporters now. He 
 really needs support. His mood is changing a lot and he feels kind of 
 depressed. We also would like you all to maybe think of sending him 
 something theese days. He won't get a lot visitations tin this time. 
 Jonatan will propably join the collective hungerstrike of prisoners in 
struggle starting the 20th december.
 If you send him books, make shure that there is nothing written by 
 hand in it. Also if you send him CDs they have to be original 
 otherwise he won't get them.
 Jonatan is interested in (green)anarchism, anti-civ theory,indigenous 
 struggles...the wild. He like music of all kind (from HC to HipHop, 
 Drum and Bass,Folk...). He'll be also really happy about posters and 
 flyer from the resistance on the outside...
 Nothing forgiven-noone forgotten!
 For anarchy,social war and total liberation!
 with love and rage

 Under nighttime?s lovely coat-
 Solidarity with Swedish
 anarchist Jonatan.
 
 On the 14th of
 October 2008 the Swedish secret police
 SAPO raided 3 houses in different places
 in Sweden. They arrested the
 anarchist Jonatan and took different tools,
 political pamphlets, his computer and
 other personal stuff with them. After two
 months in custody he had his trial and was
 sentenced to about 15 Months in Prison,
 which he began in October ?09. He is
 accused of three ELF-Actions.
 
 ?Urban Sprawl is the destruction of the
 natural world in order to expand the cities
 according to the ever-increasing mode of
 development and progress. Middle class
 villas, luxury mansions and industry are
 threatening wildlife and endangered
 species, as this is present on a global
 scale, in every major or minor city, it is a
 threat to the continuation of life in this
 planet. It must be therefore be met with
 no-compromising resistance! It must be
 destroyed!? Jonatan.
 
 On the night between the 20th and the
 21st if April 2008 ELF claimed
 responsibility for three actions in Almhult/
 Sweden. A communication tower
 connected to the Department of Defence
 infrastructure was sabotaged with a firebomb,
 a building crane in a urban-sprawlproject
 was sabotaged and a logging
 truck got its security ropes and hydraulic
 cables disabled. Nearly at the same time
 another ELF-cell has claimed responsibility
 for destroying a new luxury villa under
 construction in the forest by arson. This
 action Jonatan was accused of, too. But
 the case was dropped.
 
 Especially when
 comrades take action on their own,
 without a group or community around
 them and are faced with repression its
 more important then ever to show them
 that they are not alone! In this and other
 cases, for example in the case of Michel
 Sykes, a 17 year old North American
 anarchist comrade sentenced for different
 ELF actions against urban sprawl to up to
 10 years in prison, we have to be there,
 not just waiting on the outside. We have to
 show that attacks by the state wont crush
 our ideas and break us. It just gives us
 more rage and strength! But solidarity is
 not just mutual aid! Solidarity is a way to
 be a partner in struggle and crime, a way
 of showing your happiness about an
 action and deep affinity with a hostage of
 the state. Its not just about giving a
 comrade infrastructural help. Its about
 showing the incarcerated that she/he is
 not alone and that her/his struggle was
 just the beginning and will be continued
 on the outside. Build up Revolutionary
 Solidarity!
 
 Let us make the time in prison
 for Jonatan and all the others as short as
 possible and fight for the freedom of all
 and against every kind of oppression! For
 social war, anarchy and total freedom!
 
 write letters of support and attack!
