Against Fatherland

5 years of uprising in Belarus – exhibition, guided tours & events

07. until 16. October 2025
daily 3-6 pm
at Hole of Fame, Königsbrückerstr. 39, 01099 Dresden

August 9, 2025 marked five years since the uprising in Belarus against Lukashenko’s authoritarian regime. The biggest uprising Belarus had seen since its independence. All parts of the society took to the streets. Since then, people in Belarus have been persecuted for participating in the protests and sent to prisons and camps. The repression continues to this day. At the beginning of September 1187 people were counted as political prisoners.

We would like to take this anniversary as an opportunity to look back at what happened then and how the repression continues to affect people today.

In a photo exhibition, we show the first three nights of the protests in 2020 and the reaction to the massive police violence. We look at specific social groups that participated in the protests and the importance of neighborhood meetings in the uprising. Furthermore, the exhibition shows the extent to which anarchist groups were involved in the events. And the perspective of those imprisoned will be represented through their artistic work created in prison. The specific situation in women’s prisons is also addressed.

Opening event – Tuesday, October 7, 2025 | 7 p.m.
Guided tour of the exhibition

Lecture – Friday, October 10, 2025 | 7 p.m.
What does it feel like to help organize a rebellion?

Guided tour of the exhibition
Saturday, 11 October 2025 | 3 pm in English

Rally 24.05: Free Maja! Free Hanna! Freedom for all Antifas!

Posted on May 20, 2024May 20, 2024 by Anarchistisches Netzwerk Dresden

Rally May 24, 15:00 Robinienhain, JVA Hammerweg

Maja is still in prison in Dresden. But now in extradition custody. This has been ordered by the Berlin Court of Appeal. This means that in the next step, the court will examine whether the prison conditions in Hungary allow Maja to be extradited to Hungary. Maja faces up to 24 years in prison in Hungary under unspeakable conditions.

One of the ways in which the review will take place is for the court in Hungary to ask what they think of the prison conditions – including for queer prisoners. Hungary is then free to comment on this. That is absurd! The authoritarian and radical right-wing Fidesz party under Orban has been in power in Hungary for years and bans queers, antifas and refugees. The regime also pursues an unparalleled historical revisionist cultural policy.

Most recently, Hanna was caught by the cops on May 6 and dragged to the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe. Hanna is now also threatened with extradition to Hungary.

Once again, Federal Prosecutor General Geilhorn and her cohorts are investigating left-wingers with the utmost severity. We already know their attitude well enough from the Antifa Ost proceedings: anti-communist and deeply reactionary!

We want to prevent their extradition at all costs and put pressure on the authorities and the prison. Maja must not be extradited. Hanna must not be extradited. The decision on their proceedings will also be groundbreaking for all further proceedings!

We demand: No extradition of anti-fascists to Hungary to a court filled with right-wing extremists! Take to the streets against the shift to the right and repression.

We want to show Maja – as we do every month – that we are there and that we stand in solidarity on the other side of the wall and will not leave Maja alone.

So come to the prison in large numbers on Wednesday from 3 to 4 pm and be loud with us!

Fallen, but not forgotten! – Film and memorial event for anarchists killed in Ukraine

Posted on April 6, 2024April 11, 2024 by Anarchistisches Netzwerk Dresden

One year ago, on April 19, the Russian state killed three anarchists who were fighting against the invading forces in Ukraine. Finbar Cafferkey, Cooper Andrews and Dmitry Petrov died defending Bakhmut from the so-called Russian world. They were not the first anarchists to die fighting the Russian Empire. Unfortunately, they will not be the last.
