ALFREDO OUT OF 41 BIS!
Open assembly to organize a response commensurate with the importance of the situation
The struggle waged by anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito against the 41bis prison regime and the life imprisonment without parole has reached its most dramatic point. Notwithstanding the opening of contradictions (opinion of the DNAA, opinion of the DDA of Turin, opinion of the PG at the Court of Cassation, order of the re-examination of the Sibilla Operation) every time an institutional organism with effective power to resolve the question opened by the comrade has met, the most manectarian and warmongering faction of the State has invested all its political power to crush any possible opening.
We have said it too many times: Alfredo’s death sentence is now an established fact, if the comrade is still alive we owe it solely to his extraordinary resistance. The decision to lock up an anarchist in 41 bis prison regime for the first time, taken by the previous Draghi government and Minister Marta Cartabia, as well as the determination to persevere in this criminal choice by the new right-wing government of Meloni and the current minister Carlo Nordio, count as an act of war. The tip of the iceberg of the “internal front” of a larger war, which on the international level is fought between NATO and the Russian Federation, and which is being expressed in our home with an unprecedented attack against social antagonism, against conflictual unionism and especially against action anarchism.
This repressive chasm, which affects anyone involved in social conflict, cannot be filled by a jolt of conscience from civil and democratic society, but only through a reversal of the relationship of power between the exploited and the exploiters.
The bosses feel as strong as ever, but in the slums the anger mounts.
After months of permanent mobilisation, the result of breaking the wall of silence around Alfredo Cospito’s struggle was achieved. Despite this, the government has now made its ‘irrevocable decisions’. As far as we are concerned, we urge comrades in solidarity not to be discouraged. This is the moment to express all our intolerance and indignation towards this society of murderers.
We invite all the people who have shown solidarity in Alfredo’s case in recent months to a public assembly where we can build together an initiative that matches the gravity of the situation.
