On February 24th 2023 the Italian judiciary issued its own decision on the lifting of the strict isolation 41 bis imposed on Alfredo Cospito.

The defence had called for a transfer from the solitary confinement regime imposed following Alfredo’s articles from the prison. The anarchist comrade decided to go on a hunger strike to the death to free himself from the brutal isolation regime known as 41 bis.

For over 120 days the comrade has put his body on the front line in the battle against the State, being supported by numerous internationalist actions around the world. By this time the comrade was in a state of severe physical deterioration, most likely irrecoverable, pending the outcome of the hearing.

The judiciary’s refusal to revoke 41 bis was categorical, slamming the door on the few possibilities that Alfredo had to get out of this cemetery of living beings. Politically and literally, this outcome only means an extension of Alfredo’s hunger strike, favouring a fatal outcome.

The Italian State has signed a death sentence against Alfredo.
Relentless and internationalist solidarity with Alfredo Cospito!
Spread support for the comrade and contempt for his killers with every means!
