‘For our brother Alfredo’
Sixteen Poste Italiane vehicles were set on fire early Saturday morning, while 22 buses were burnt to the ground Saturday night in Rome. This was preceded by the burning of telecommunications pillars in Genoa, shortly before the big anti-fascist march in Milan, attended by over 4000 anarchists, to commemorate 20 years since the murder of Davide Casare (Dax) and in solidarity with Alfredo’s struggle against 41bis, who is now on his 150th day of a hunger strike.
Many developments are expected this week due to moves made indefence of Alfredo, as well as the upcoming review of the request on 24 March for the recall of 41bis and his detention for health reasons by the Milan Court of Appeal.
As a gesture of rebellious complicity and response to the international call for solidarity with the comrade Alfredo, we dropped this banner off front of one of the houses that the Italian community has in the Uruguayan capital. The comrade has been on hunger strike for more than 100 days, fighting until death against the 41Bis torture regime and life in prison.
On March 15, in the context of comrade Alfredo Cospito’s admirable determination in Italian prison, and comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar’s preparation for trial, antiauthoritarian and subversive prisoner, comrade Marcelo Villarroel marks 15 years of imprisonment. 15 years ago, he was captured in Argentina while fleeing Chile in clandestinity due to the case known as “Security”.
