This site is dedicated to the memory of Barry Horne, an animal liberation activist who died in a UK prison hospital on November 5, 2001. He had been sentenced to 18 years in prison for various criminal damage and arson attacks mainly against companies involved in vivisection.

In prison he went on hunger strike several times in protest against government support for the vivisection industry, and their broken pre-election promises about animal experiments. The third of these hunger strikes lasted 68 days, and Barry never fully recovered.

His actions generated worldwide publicity, and initiated a huge upsurge in animal liberation activity, the effects of which are still being felt even today.

This site will include details of Barry’s life and achievements as an animal liberation activist as well as his imprisonment and subsequent hunger strike protests. If you have any contributions to make, please contact info@barryhorne.org

We will also mark the anniversary of Barry’s death on November 5th each year. Each anniversary of his death has been marked by actions all over the world, of which some will be listed here. Meanwhile please visit http://www.directaction.info/

 

A LETTER FROM MARCO CAMENISCH (2002)

marco-1

End of February 2002

To the comrades,

To the authority of repression,

On the 18th of April, I’ll have served a sentence of 12 years in Italy and I’ll be extradited to Switzerland to be submitted to various trials with accusations that carry life sentences too.

I do not recognize any legitimacy for government and the repressive machine, consequently I’ll exclude any statements in front of this machine and its representatives, except perhaps spontaneously in public, before the court.

I warn the repressive body not to repeat the extortion of false statements from my family, especially from my elderly mother and from my brother, both not able to be interrogated due to health reasons, through pressure and coercion, as happened after the death of a member of the Swiss Financial Police in 1989, for which I’m charged.

Due to personal reasons, like being too old, prejudiced health and social responsibilities and needs, it would not be possible and responsible for me and that long before, to take up arms and underground life again, in the antiauthoritarian struggle. But I continue to vindicate the necessity of a radical antiauthoritarian struggle against rule and exploitation always more aggressive and destructive (now through technological capitalism and its total war against individuals, societies, cultures and environments of the Earth community) and for ANOTHER NECESSARY WORLD, necessarily based on solidarity and antiauthoritarian and fair relationships among all individuals and communities of things, the non-human and human lives, that form the terrestrial community.

El 14 de agosto, hace más de 80 días, se llevó a cabo una de las operaciones represivas efectuadas con un nivel de escándalo y poco sigilo como hace tiempo no se veía. Semana a semana, día con día, recibíamos de parte de la prensa los minuciosos detalles del golpe represivo que se avecinaba. Nuestras descripciones fueron apareciendo, hasta lograr constituir una lista con el nombre de lxs próximxs detenidxs (nuestro último comunicado como Sacco y Vanzetti es claro).
