Today the news broke that all custodial measures for the repressive operation Sibilla of 11th November, directed in particular against the anarchist paper Vetriolo, were annulled by the court of review held on 14th December. Therefore there are no more signing and residence obligations for three comrades, or house arrest for Michele Fabiani and pre-trial detention for Alfredo Cospito, who remains imprisoned following a 20-year sentence in the Scripta Manent trial.
The reasons for the decision will be made known within 45 days. Without going into the matter of court waste paper, it seems that the wording “annulment” represents the highest possible denial of the accusatory hypothesises on a technical level. In any case, regardless of the judges’ verdict, we continue to firmly persevere with revolutionary anarchist propaganda, solidarity with our imprisoned comrades and the defence of anarchist publications. The repression doesn’t surprise us: we knew that the recent sentencing against the latest edition of “Croce Nera Anarchica” in the Scripta Manent appeal trial would create an infamous precedent.
We reassert our solidarity with Alfredo, whom this investigation precisely aimed at isolating and silencing. A hug to Anna, Juan, Beppe, Davide and all prisoners who do not bow their heads.
See you on Monday 20th December from 6pm at the Circolaccio Anarchico in Viale della Repubblica 1/A, Spoleto, to discuss the repressive operation and the reasons of our struggle.
