EN/GR/: Important updates on the health condition and the condition of imprisonment for the anarchist Alfredo Cospito (Italy)

Important updates on the health condition and the condition of inprisonment for the anarchist Alfredo Cospito

Alfredo has NOT ended the hunger strike!

The news circulated in the media these days is false and slanderous, as is now the habit in this story: he was offered milk, but Alfredo refused it. If he decides to start eating again, he will follow the instructions given to him by his trusted doctor some time ago.

In view of the hearing on April 18, he decided to resume supplements: potassium to stabilize the heart, vitamins to try to stem the neurological problem in the lower limbs, and proteins. After the hearing at the constitutional court in Rome, called to express itself on the legal legitimacy of granting or not extenuating circumstances in relation to the conviction for 285 c. p. (“massacre for the purpose of undermining the security of the State”, which only provides for life imprisonment) decreed by the cassation in the context of the Scripta Manent process, will decide how to proceed.

FREEDOM TO ALFREDO COSPITO

FIRE TO 41 BIS AND ALL FORMS OF INCARCERATION

Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist who has always been active in the frontline of struggles. He was never willing to compromise nor to give up. He is a comrade who has been fighting since the end of the 80’s, a period during which he was imprisoned as a total conscientious objector (for refusing to serve mandatory military services).

Alfredo has always been active in defending comrades affected by repression, in every corner of the world. He has been contributing for many years with articles, editorial projects and proposals to the international anarchist discussion/debate. For this reason, he has been censored many times and his communication with the “outside world” has been forbidden. He has been in prison for 10 years (since 2012), during which he was in High Security prison sectors until he was transferred to 41bis inMay 2022, from Terni prison to Bankali prison in Sassari.

The 41bis prison regime entails 24/7 electronic surveillance, 1 person per cell of 2×3 meters, 1 hour per day for socializing in a group of 4 people (the seperation into these groups is decided directly by the bureaucrats in Rome and is valid for several months), 1 visit per month of 1 hour with no physical contact, separation with glass divider, under electronic surveillance, with audio and video recording (only if the family members are unable to visit, a monthly 10-minute phone call is allowed as an alternative, but to do so, the prisoner’s family member must go to a police station or in some prison), no physical contact, censorship and control of written material, presence at court only through video-conferences.

FREEDOM for Georgia Voulgaris, P. Kalaitzis, Th. Chatzianggelou

At dawn on Tuesday 8/2/22, two comrades were arrested following an operation by the “anti-terrorist police”. The reason was the burning of the “Foundation for National and Religious Reflection” in Thessaloniki. In the house where they were arrested, “incriminating” evidence was found which, in the context of the Terror Law, acquires a “felony” character. Later, another comrade was arrested. All three were remanded in Korydallos prison, prosecuted under the Terror Law (187a) for their participation in the organization “Anarchist Action”, the arson of the “Foundation for National and Religious Thought” and other actions.

Anarchist Thanos Chatzianggelou claimed responsibility for this arson and the findings in the house, and later on 10/3/22 he claimed political responsibility for his participation in the organization “Anarchist Action”.

The anarchist Gewrgia Voulgaris defended the choice to have a supporting role in carrying out the action. She remained in custody for 7 months and then the prison board decided to continue her detention under house arrest with an electronic bracelet.

P. Kalaitzis, whose only connection to the case is his relationship with the house and his companion, friendly and collegial relations with T.H. denied all charges and after 7 months of pre-trial detention he was released from prison with restrictive conditions, to sign every 1st and 15th of the month and a ban on leaving the country.

TRIAL TUESDAY 4/4, 9:00am LARISA COURT
The war against the State and capital is unceasing, unyielding and multiform. The struggle for equality, freedom and solidarity may have losses, but it will be victorious because justice is on our side. No criminalisation of anarchist comrades, social and friendly relations.

Assembly of Solidarity with the Prisoners, imprisoned, fugitives and persecuted fighters.

EN/IT : A political intervention of solidarity with the comrade and hunger striker, since 20/10/22, Alfredo Cospito at the Italian Educational Institute in Patission. (Athens,Greece)

(EN) On Friday, March 17th, at the launch of the presentation of the collective volume – tribute to the work of Altiero Spinelli (“a visionary and one of the great ‘fathers’ of European unification”) at the Italian Educational Institute in Patision – Athens (across the NTUA gate), a political intervention of solidarity with the comrade and hunger striker, since 20/10/22, Alfredo Cospito was held.

Video

Interrupting their civil celebration, in the presence of the ambassador of the Italian state Patrizia Falcinelli and the president of the European Movement of Italy Pier Virgilio Dastoli, the president of the Mediterranean Studies department of the University of the Aegean S. Dalis, the vice president of the European Parliament D. Papadimoulis and the former MEP K. Botopoulou, as well as other big business exploiters and their henchmen who were smitten before the elections in the institutional salons, such as the former minister and current MP G. Katrougalos, we shaked for a while the image of their superiority in their field.

The hypocritical “sensitivity” of Europe’s bourgeois democratic politicians and scholars for rights and federalism (of the economies and the capital), in the media image of 2016, when Renzi, Merkel and Hollande paid tribute to Spinelli’s grave (in favor of the foundations of European unity), was forced to be silent in order to hear the speech of the anarchist hunger striker Alfredo Cospito and the fight against 41bis and against the prison.Slogans were heard, flyers were thrown and we made clear to the present representatives of the former government that we do not forget the passing of the new Penal Code and the way it opened for the condition of incarceration here. Our struggles recognize no borders.

International call of the captive member of the organization Anarchist Action Th. Chatziaggelou. (Greece)

For the construction of an international front of defending the Anarchist Action

International call of the captive member of the organization Anarchist Action Th. Chatziaggelou, to the comrades who will defend the case at the trial of the organization on 4th of April, at felony court of appeals in Larisa.

To the ones defending the case of Anarchist Action

Comrades,

After years of sharing with you moments of resistance in the social aspects of the class war, I send you my wholehearted solidarity and appreciation from the dungeons of my captivity.

The trial of the Anarchist Action takes places during a time period of burying the revolutionary tendency and the analysis of the elements of resistance. The absence of an actual revolutionary movement with common positions, strategic aim and values is turning into a reality that is here to permanently stay, which leads to giving space to the normalization of the devaluation of radical actions and thoughts.

No Cop City Anywhere: Governor Unveils Cop City NJ Plans
Posted on March 29, 2023

We begin by quoting the recent press release from the governor’s office:

“The Governor’s budget continues to support initiatives that keep communities safe, including supporting law enforcement personnel and community-led prevention programs. As part of the Governor’s efforts to reduce violent crime in the State, the budget makes significant investments in the Division of Criminal Justice to staff new units and expand existing units with a focus on reducing gun violence, auto thefts, and exploitation, such as human trafficking and labor cases.

The budget also makes significant investments to strengthen the ranks of the New Jersey State Police, allocating $120 million to begin building a new training center for the next generation of New Jersey State Police and proposing an additional $5 million for the 166th State Trooper recruit class.

Statement Concerning S., Comrade in Life-Threatening Condition Following Protest in Sainte-Soline, France

On Saturday the 25th of March at Sainte-Soline, our comrade S. was hit in the head by an explosive grenade during the protest against the giant retention basins. Despite his critical condition, the prefecture deliberately prevented the emergency services from intervening at first, and from transporting him to a special care unit in a second phase. He is currently in a neurosurgical intensive care. He is still in a critical condition.

The massive outbreak of violence that the protesters have gone through led to hundreds of wounded, and many of them suffered serious physical injuries, as we can read in the various reports available. The 30 000 protesters came with the aim to block the construction site of the Sainte-Soline giant retention basin, which is a water-appropriation project defended by a minority for the benefit of a capitalist model that has nothing more to defend other than death. The violence of the armed wing of the democratic State illustrates it vividly.

Banner Drop for Welaunee Forest Defenders


Militarization and expansion of police power is a global threat. The fight back against the Cop City development project in Atlanta mirrors other local struggles everywhere. This solid and long standing frontline struggle represents how the destruction of natural habitats is interconnected with state violence and repression.

At the edge of Welaunee forest, every cop pushed back with fireworks and every piece of construction equipment set ablaze is welcomed with cheer from companions all over turtle island and beyond.

We made and dropped this banner in Montréal in solidarity with all the arrestees in Altanta, even the innocent ones. We will never forget Tortuguita.

Montevideo :  Banner in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

As a gesture of rebellious complicity and response to the international call for solidarity with the comrade Alfredo, we dropped this banner off front of one of the houses that the Italian community has in the Uruguayan capital. The comrade has been on hunger strike for more than 100 days, fighting until death against the 41Bis torture regime and life in prison.

The fact that the Italian state is letting him die is no surprise, and is is crucial to multiply and expand gestures of solidarity and action to support our comrade. Let’s not wait for the worst outcome to take to the streets.

Internationalist Call for Actions in Solidarity with Marcelo Vollarroel after 15 Years in Prison & in the Context of the Permanent Campaign for his Freedom! ( $hile )

Internationalist Call for Actions in Solidarity with Marcelo Vollarroel after 15 Years in Prison & in the Context of the Permanent Campaign for his Freedom!

On March 15, in the context of comrade Alfredo Cospito’s admirable determination in Italian prison, and comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar’s preparation for trial, antiauthoritarian and subversive prisoner, comrade Marcelo Villarroel marks 15 years of imprisonment. 15 years ago, he was captured in Argentina while fleeing Chile in clandestinity due to the case known as “Security”.

The antagonistic actions against power that the comrade chose as his form of life at a very young age made him a target of the powerful and their media. They created a brutal and crude spectacle of persecution out of the expropriation of that bank in the center of Santiago, Chile and the resulting death of the cop Moyano in October 2007.

The state kidnapping of Marcelo, which in concrete terms is a concealed life sentence, is sustained by the most rotten filth of the dictatorial inheritance: Pinochet’s putrid Military court, even in 2023. Something that seems unthinkable 50 years after the military coup and the start of the civic-military dictatorship.

However, this parallel justice, that no one seems to notice, hear or mention, remains intolerably operational. This was demonstrated this past February 27 at the sentence review hearing helf in the 7th Guarantee Court of Santiago, which confirmed that Marcelo should remain in prison until 2036.

The Forest Fights Back – March 5th Action Report (USA)

On March 5th, around 5:30pm, just over 300 people marched to the North Gate, located on Key Road. This is the site of ongoing “erosion control” by Brent Scarborough Company, a subcontractor of Brasfield & Gorrie. In this area, police have staged around-the-clock for over a month, spending $41,500 per day to protect the area from protestors. They have used vehicle headlights and two large floodlights to illuminate the tree line surrounding the powerline cut.

The 300 of us damaged the silt fencing on both the east and west sides of the cut. Using box cutters as well as our hands and feet, we destroyed a high percentage of the work done by the Police Foundation contractors in the past month. That work needs to be re-done in order to meet the standards set by law (a standard we do not know much about, as that is not our primary concern).

Perugia,Italy 14th March 2023: Update on the review hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures in ”operation Sibilla” and statements of some of the comrades under investigation.

Update on the review hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures in operation Sibilla and statements of some of the comrades under investigation (Perugia, 14th March 2023)

The hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures for anarchists in operation Sibilla of 11th November 2021 took place on March 14th in the bunker courtroom inside the prison of Capanne in Perugia. It concerned the comrades for whom measures were ordered on charges of incitement to commit a crime (414 criminal code), aggravated by the aim of terrorism, in connection with the drafting, publication and distribution of the first six issues of the anarchist newspaper “Vetriolo” and other articles and interventions.

Among the comrades under investigation are Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike for over 140 days, and Gianluca, currently under house arrest for a year now for the investigation Diamante.
This second re-examination resulted from the Court of Cassation’s ruling last June granting the prosecutor Manuela Comodi’s request, annulling the previous order of the review court which had revoked the precautionary measures in December 2021.

Alfredo Cospito participated in the hearing by video link from the Milan prison of Opera and three comrades under investigation were present in the courtroom in the Peurugia prison of Capanne. The hearing took place behind closed doors, while there were around 40 comrades in solidarity outside. The three comrades under investigation who attended the hearing in the bunker courtroom spoke (two of them with written statements) and each greeted Alfredo warmly. Alfredo made a long statement, in which he was very lucid and was loaded with his usual sarcasm (‘I prefer comedy to melodrama’).’I want to start with the words of my instigator,’ he began, quoting a stance of the current minister of justice Nordio going back to 2019 concerning 41 bis. The comrade then reiterated the meaning and perspective of the hunger strike against the detention regime, which he called a ‘medieval muzzle’ and a ‘metastasis that will spread to political dissent’. Alfredo said he does not accept this non-life and will go on until the end. “For anarchists, who have no organisation, the given word is everything.” That is why he will keep his word, going on to the bitter end. “I will leave with dignity. I hope that those who love me understand that.” The comrade wished to point out that, in the situation in which he is imprisoned, “the only remnants of light I see are the acts of my anarchist brothers and sisters around the world”, “Thank you anarchists. I love you”. Finally, he concluded: “Abolition of the 41 bis regime. Abolition of life imprisonment without parole. Solidarity with all anarchist, communist and revolutionary prisoners in the world”.
