Italy: Anarchist Comrade Anna Beniamino ends hunger strike (14th December 2022)

Anna Beniamino ends hunger strike

We learn by telephone that this evening, Wednesday14th December, that Anna ended the hunger strike started 38 days ago alongside Alfredo, being held under 41 bis.

At the end of the hunger strike Anna was found to have lost 13 kilos, with a blood pressure of 80 over 50. Some liver profile values exceeded parameters considered acceptable from a medical point of view. In the latter period she had been offered hospitalisation several times by the prison authorities, which she has always refused.

The life of our comrades in prison is at stake in this struggle. All of us, anarchists and revolutionaries, must ensure that it is safeguarded. This is all the more so with regard to Alfredo, who has now reached his 56th day of hunger strike and whose condition is becoming increasingly critical pending the decision of the Supervisory Court.
