Ivan on 16th day of hunger strike!

We hear from France about the new hunger strike that anarchist Ivan Alocco has been on in solidarity with Alfredo since last December 22 [the comrade went on a first hunger strike, which lasted 35 days, between October 27 and December 1].

Ivan is fine, he takes sugar in his water instead of meals and also a little salt in the morning, which prevents his tension from dropping too much causing him great dizziness (however, the lowest blood pressure he has reached so far is 50 minimum and 80 maximum). Glucose is okay, toxins some days are a bit high, but nothing to worry about.

To conserve strength he has stopped sports activities and going outdoors, which causes him to be quite bored… so he reads a lot.

A few days ago he had a minor disagreement with a guard who did not want the worker who distributes meals to give him sugar packets, but after Ivan questioned the captain of the guards the situation was resolved. Secondees and other inmates continue to “lecture” him (“no use, think of your health”), but Ivan is determined in his initiative despite the logical concern for Alfredo’s health and life.

We express our affection, gratitude and solidarity for Ivan!
