Athens, Greece: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE HUNGER STRIKER ALFREDO COSPITO By Anarchists

Athens: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE HUNGER STRIKER ALFREDO COSPITO

In 2014 the anarchist Alfredo Cospito was sentenced to 10 years and 8 months in prison because at his trial for shooting the manager of a nuclear plant in the legs he did not make any statements of repentance, but instead defended his action, an action “against the doctrine of technology” according to his words. In 2016 and already in custody, he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, accused of a bomb attack on a carabinieri school in Fossano in 2006.Since 5 May 2022 he has been in solitary confinement (41bis) as part of changes to the Italian penitentiary code.

This regime imposes a reduction of the prisoners’ exercise period to one hour a day and visits with relatives to one hour a month, as well as restrictions on correspondence and reading material. In these ways it forces the prisoners into complete social isolation. Similarly, with the re-establishment of C-type prisons, the amendments to 187 and 187A, the increase of the minimum sentence to 4/5 from 3/5, the frequent DNA-based prosecutions and other amendments to the Sofronist code, it is clear that the treatment of the comrade Cospito is not so far from the standards of the Greek State. Besides, the cooperation between the two States is complemented by their economic support for each other. Of course, despite the apparent differences between them (with the image of the Greek State as more progressive and the Italian State as more conservative), it is obvious that the counter-revolutionary policy is the same regardless of the regime and government.

Alfredo Cospito latest update

4.03.2023

There are demonstrations all over Italy. In Turin there is a big solidarity march, with the main slogan ‘The Struggle Does Not End’, just as there were demonstrations in Milan. Florence, in the central piazza D’Azeglio, anti-fascist march with a group of demonstrators singing Bella Ciao and chanting slogans for the release of Alfredo from 41bis. We are talking about thousands of people (estimated at 20,000), including students, with a shining example being high school principal Annalisa Savino, who sent the message ‘Fascism was born out of indifference’.

This morning the standard medical examination was carried out by a trusted doctor of the choice of lawyer F.Rossi Albertini, according to which Alfredo’s health condition is irreversible.

After the decision not to revoke the 41bis, Alfredo – as he had said – automatically stopped taking the potassium supplements that he had to take just before the decision, in order to have time to hear it. He has lost another kilo, he has very noticeable muscle atrophy and abdominal cramps. The situation he is in is extremely painful. He is heading for a slow and painfully agonizing death. We are awaiting the results of the biochemical tests on a sample taken this morning. The doctor has requested that the next tests be done in the hospital, not at the prison hospital where he was rushed back last week. This is a critical week.

Turin: Alongside Alfredo, alongside those who struggle. Demo in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike to the bitter end March 4th 2023

On Saturday 4 march we will take to the streets once more, alongside Alfredo, alongside those who fight. To repeat that we don’t want 41 bis, nor prisons, nor cpr.

That the only war in which we participate finds us at the side of all the exploited on the barricade that separates us from the exploiters, shouting our anger at a decision that marks the further increase of the repression of struggles, with the condemnation to death of a comrade.

Inevitably it must also mark our way of confronting them.

The fight never ends!

Anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito has been transferred back to Opera prison in Milan .(Italy)

Alfredo Cospito has been transferred back to Opera prison in Milan (27th February 2023)

We learn that today, 27th February, the anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike for 131 days, has been transferred from the prison medicine ward in San Paolo hospital to the Intensive Care Unit (SAI) inside Opera prison in Milan, where he was being held before being transferred to San Paolo on February 11th.

With the hearing in the court of cassation on 24th February which upheld the detention order in 41 bis, the will to annihilate the comrade, already finalised in December with the outcome of the hearing in the supervisory court of Rome, has definitively been ratified by the State. This latest transfer from San Paolo to Opera is perfectly in line with this will of annihilation. They intend to destroy a comrade and with him believe they are giving a warning to the revolutionary struggle in this country. The intention, however, is futile: the need to fight against the State and capital is irrepressible, the desire to overthrow this authoritarian social reality is inextinguishable.

DEATH TO THE STATE, ALWAYS FOR ANARCHY

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

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.

FINO ALL’ULTIMO RESPIRO – IL CASO ALFREDO COSPITO E ANNA BENIAMINO

(Untill the last breath – The case of Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino)

Since 20 October 2022, Alfredo Cospito, an anarchist militant imprisoned for actions that have not resulted in any deaths, has been on hunger strike against the 41bis prison regime and the hostile life sentence to which he has been subjected for several months. His protest is not just a personal battle, but a political struggle against 41bis and life imprisonment. The 41 bis is a particularly afflictive regime, created to fight the mafia in 1992 and extended in the 2000s to terrorist organisations.

It includes, among other restrictions, isolation from other inmates, limitations to visits by family members, limited air time and constant surveillance by a special department of the prison police.So far, Alfredo has lost 40 kilos and is in critical condition. Last week, the Italian high court rejected an appeal by his lawyers. This latest decision is essentially a death sentence.

Athens, Greece: INCENDIARY ATTACK ON THE HOUSE OF RETIRED COPS by Andreas Baader Cell

Athens: INCENDIARY ATTACK ON THE HOUSE OF RETIRED COPS.

We take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the house of retired cop Fotis Theodoros in Kaisariani Aarea, at 5 Manoliassas Street. We were very pleased to learn in the days that followed that a second retired cop lived in the same building.

The reason for this attack was the State murder of Kostas Fragoulis by the uniformed garbage of the DIAS cops team. Once again, the agents of the State apparatus murder in cold blood, but this time, as last year with Nikos Sabanis, race became the main issue in the political and social arena. As anarchists we do not need to analyse our position, it is clear. But we ought to recall that this is not a random incident but a manifestation of the wider war that is being waged doggedly by the State and capitalism against the oppressed of this world and especially against those who dare to question their sovereignty. We are taking a stand in this war and declare that we will walk through your homes and over your dead bodies.

It is not fitting for the flame of a candle to be lit over a young grave, whole States should be in flames. C.C.F. (for the murder of A. Grigoropoulos)
