Rob Thaxton and his cellmate Brian McCarvill have written to us explaining
that they are trying to challenge the prison system in America. The
prisoncrats there view anarchists as a streetgang and under their ?security
threat group? rules, they routinely reject mail,?zines and other
publications that exhibit circled As (anarchy signs). Rob and Brian are
asking people to send in postcards that display a large anarchy symbol on
the front with the words ?this is not a gang symbol?.Please include a
return address and a full name so that the prison officers have no excuse
to turn the mail away. In Rob?s words: ?we want to make the prison censors
hate their job, since they lack the cognitive skills to think about what
they are doing.? Any help would be appreciated. Stamps to America are not
expensive but are avaliable from Anarchist Support if anyone has problems.

Defiance Mehmet Bal is a conscientious objector who is being kept in Adana
Military Prison. He has faced torture since 25 of October-starting from the
first moment that he was put in jail. Despite the repression, Mehmet is
clear in this reason for resistance; ?Exactly at this point, I as an
individual wish to make clear that, under no conditions will I ever submit
to rules or values put forth by any system, ideology or religion, and shall
live in accordance with my own conscience and will. I refuse to take place
in any kind of system. that bears inhuman tendencies, whatever the
consequences may be.? For now, it is very important to write to the prison
authorities in Adana, to prevent further torture. You can write protest
letters demanding an end of the practice of chaining Mehmet Bal?s arms and
legs; to protest the arrest of Mehmet Bal: Adana 6. Kolordu Askeri Cezaevi,
