"Einige saßen oder sitzen vor Akten der Repressionsbehörden, oder werden das in Zukunft tun müssen. Traurig aber wahr! Während die Bullen beim herumschnüffeln hinter ihren Akten verstauben, möchten wir diese nutzen um für zukünftige Widerstandsmomente zu lernen. Ermittlungsmethoden, Datenerhebungen, Konstrukte, Technologien, Fehler und Strategien der Repressionsbüttel können zugänglich gemacht werden, indem für euch und uns relevante Analysen von Akteninhalte veröffentlicht werden."

"This zine explores the conspiracy case that came out of the G20 summit in Toronto, Canada in 2010. It examines the role anarchists played in organizing resistance to the G20 and the ways in which the state responded to this activity. It can help sharpen our understanding of how states use surveillance, infiltration, and the legal system itself to prevent people from acting. It's an important expansion on the topics raised in other more basic security culture zines."

"Am 9. Mai 2007 durchsuchten Bundesanwaltschaft (BAW) und Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) zahlreiche Wohnungen und andere Räumlichkeiten in Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg und Land Brandenburg. Anlass war das Ermittlungsverfahren […] der BAW gegen zuletzt 18 Personen wegen des Verdachts der Bildung einer terroristischen Vereinigung. Vorgeworfen werden dieser Vereinigung diverse v.a. Brandanschläge in den Regionen Hamburg und Berlin zwischen 2005 und 2007. Mitte Juni 2007 übermittelte die BAW im Rahmen der Akteneinsicht einen „Auszug” der Ermittlungsakten. Dies ist die Auswertung dieses „Auszugs”."

Αντιπαρακολούθηση είναι κάθε τακτική που βοηθά στο να αποφεύγεται ή να γίνεται πολύ δύσκολος ο έλεγχος μέσω της παρακολούθησης."

"Activists in Belarus are subject to unchecked government surveillance with no independent oversight. The government uses telecoms companies to facilitate surveillance by demanding direct, remote-control access to customer communications and data. Against the background of an already restrictive legal environment, this creates a chilling effect that forces activists out of public life."
Other languages
(ru) Гражданское общество, секретность и слежка в Беларуси
"Правовая база, регулирующая порядок негласного наблюдения в Беларуси, характеризуется отсутствием соответствующих гарантий безопасности, и позволяет властям осуществлять широкомасштабную слежку практически без всякого обоснования. И хотя фактически любой человек может стать объектом слежки, почти невозможно узнать, ведётся ли за ним слежка сейчас, или она велась ранее. Подобная неопределённость оказывает сковывающий эффект на правозащитников, оппозиционных политиков, юристов и активистов, и ограничивает их возможности в реализации своих прав, в том числе права на неприкосновенность частной жизни, свободу объединений, свободу мирных собраний и свободу выражения мнений."

"Security is vital to the success & survival of the resistance movement. This is because we have an enemy who actively works to undermine, neutralize, & ultimately destroy us.
