On February 10, anarchist prisoner Marco Camenisch, who is imprisoned in Switzerland, released a public statement saying that he and some other anarchist prisoners have called for a hunger strike to take place between the 18th and 29th of February, 2008, as part of the permanent struggle against all prisons and repression, isolation, torture, and life sentences.

These anarchist prisoners include Rafa Martínez Zea and Joaquin Garces in Spain; Gabriel Pombo da Silva, José Fernández and Thomas Meyer Falk in Germany; and Diego in Argentina. Thomas Meyer Falk will not take part in the hunger strike.
