Dead Anarchist Watch
Darren has drawn our attention to the latest copy of Organise (pdf file) the magazine of the anarchist communist Anarchist Federation. Page 25 features brief obituaries for Chris Pallis (Maurice Brinton), John Crump, and Antonio Tellez.
Rather depressing, if only because they're rather underwhelming tributes that suggest maybe the authors are too young to recall the significance of Solidarity in the 1960s and 70s (described as having a mostly positive effect on the anarchist movement - Jesus!). Tellez I remember as the author of the biography of Francisco Sabate, Sabate: Guerrilla Extraordinary, which Stuart Christie translated, but there's a far better obituary than the Organise one at the Kate Sharpley library (click on his name, above).
