The Revolutionary Internationalist Action Groups, French: Groupes d'action révolutionnaire internationalistes, Spanish: Grupos de Acción Revolucionaria Internacionalista (GARI), were an anti-imperialist group in France in the 1970s.

History

The GARI was founded after the execution by the Francoist regime of the Spanish anarchist Salvador Puig Antich and the persecution by the Spanish police of the Iberian Liberation Movement, Movimiento Ibérico de Liberación (MIL), the outfit to which Salvador Puig Antich belonged.

Based mainly in the south of France around Toulouse, the group was formed by French and Spanish anti-fascists. Several GARI members, among whom Jean-Marc Rouillan, a former member of the Iberian Liberation Movement, would later create the leftist militant group Action directe.
