Santiago: Alfredo out of 41 bis! Protest outside the Italian embassy in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike for 107 days (3 February 2023)

On February 3rd 2023, at over 100 days’ hunger strike of the comrade Alfredo Cospito against the brutal isolation of 41 bis in the cells of Italy, about 50 of us called a protest in front of the Italian embassy in order to put internationalist solidarity into practice.

The anarchist and subversive prisoners in the Chilean prisons have started a fast in solidarity with Alfredo’s hunger strike. In this context and despite the considerable presence of police armed with water cannon and tear gas, we managed to push our way in front of the walls protecting the representatives of the Italian government, the same government that is currently taking the assassination of Alfredo upon itself behind the bars.

Banners, flyers, stickers, graffiti and shouts filled the streets surrounding the Italian embassy, then we made our way to the Chilean-Italian institute of culture located a few blocks away.

Out Alfredo from 41 bis!
Let’s stop Alfredo being murdered by the Italian State !
Freedom for the anarchist and subversive prisoners!
