Urgent Words Faced with a Flame that is Going Out. Words of Monica Caballero on the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito

February 3, 2023

I have had the pleasure of reading the words of comrades from different territories who showed their ardent solidarity with the hunger strike waged by Alfredo Cospito to get out of the torture regime of 41 bis. In these lands a group of subversive, anarchist, anti-authoritarian, anti-speciesist and nihilist prisoners also expressed our unconditional solidarity with the comrade. To fraternize with a comrade as valuable as Alfredo is necessary for those of us who position ourselves as deniers and antagonists to the current life governed by authority, and even more so in the difficult moment he is going through,. Sending words of solidarity from prison to a like-minded comrade is never out of place.

In my case, when I have received words of solidarity from a comrade while imprisoned, I have always valued and treasured them as something very precious. But at this moment comrade Alfredo Cospito needs words to be transformed into actions, to attack, coerce, subvert, manipulate, threaten, etc. all those who have the power to change his prison situation and/or who sustain the 41 bis regime.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) France : Fire-bruary

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) : Fire-bruary

IAATA, March 5, 2023

The first cold hours of February 25 were warmed up by the criminal and shameless fire of a Circet car in Amidonniers. The development of telecoms transforms the world into an open-air work colony, but only the authorities have an interest in pretending that revolt is impossible. There is always a way to strike.

This flaming car was meant to salute Boris, a comrade from Besançon who was repressed for burning cell towers, and the people arrested in November across Occitania for burning cell towers and speed cameras.

Also, on February 24 the Italian justice confirmed that Alfredo Cospito
will remain in solitary confinement, which is like trying to kill him. This fire also wanted to support the fight against this world of barbed wire.

Spain: Claim for the Package Bomb Against the Head of the Prison Guards’ Union CSIF Zaragoza

March 11, 2023

Alfonso Peiró is not a mere jailer. For some reason he feels compelled to defend corporate impunity, specifically in the Zuera, Zaragoza maxi-prison.

When the prisoners vent their anger among themselves or against one another, everything continues as usual. However, when someone dares to return the violence to the henchmen of confinement, doubly despicable characters like Alfonso Peiró come out to bawl victimhood.

The few consequences that could arise from our attentions are nothing compared to what characters of his ilk and their superiors deserve.

Montevideo, Uruguay ; Banner in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Montevideo :  Banner in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

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.

The fact that the Italian state is letting him die is no surprise, and is is crucial to multiply and expand gestures of solidarity and action to support our comrade. Let’s not wait for the worst outcome to take to the streets.

FREEDOM FOR ALFREDO
FREEDOM FOR ALL

Oaxaca, Mexico: Claim for Explosive Attack of Bienestar Bank

Oaxaca: Claim for Explosive Attack of Bienestar Bank

February 19, 2023 via: es-contrainfo

We claim responsibility for the detonation of the homemade explosive artefact inside an ATM of bienestar Bank located on the outskirts of Oaxaca City, territory dominated by the Mexican State.

2/14/23 at dawn. We light the explosive. From a distance we hear the explosion and the bank alarms. We expected a more powerful impact that would cause greater damage to the ATM, and break the tedium of social peace for a moment. This time the action was silenced by the henchmen of order and the press. We will sharpen the knife more next time. This seditious gesture is a combative greeting to Alfredo Cospito and his irreducible war against prison and the 41 B.I.S. isolation regime.

It is clear to us that insurrectional solidarity requires will, courage and gunpowder.
Intensify the conflict by pushing forward the attack!
For the extension of combat and seditious solidarity!
DOWN WITH THE 41 B.I.S. ISOLATION REGIME!!!
For the practice of anarchic vandalism against the established order!

Anarchic Informality.
F.A.I.

Perugia,Italy 14th March 2023: Update on the review hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures in ”operation Sibilla” and statements of some of the comrades under investigation.

Update on the review hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures in operation Sibilla and statements of some of the comrades under investigation (Perugia, 14th March 2023)

The hearing for re-examination of the precautionary measures for anarchists in operation Sibilla of 11th November 2021 took place on March 14th in the bunker courtroom inside the prison of Capanne in Perugia. It concerned the comrades for whom measures were ordered on charges of incitement to commit a crime (414 criminal code), aggravated by the aim of terrorism, in connection with the drafting, publication and distribution of the first six issues of the anarchist newspaper “Vetriolo” and other articles and interventions.

Among the comrades under investigation are Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike for over 140 days, and Gianluca, currently under house arrest for a year now for the investigation Diamante.
This second re-examination resulted from the Court of Cassation’s ruling last June granting the prosecutor Manuela Comodi’s request, annulling the previous order of the review court which had revoked the precautionary measures in December 2021.

Alfredo Cospito participated in the hearing by video link from the Milan prison of Opera and three comrades under investigation were present in the courtroom in the Peurugia prison of Capanne. The hearing took place behind closed doors, while there were around 40 comrades in solidarity outside. The three comrades under investigation who attended the hearing in the bunker courtroom spoke (two of them with written statements) and each greeted Alfredo warmly. Alfredo made a long statement, in which he was very lucid and was loaded with his usual sarcasm (‘I prefer comedy to melodrama’).’I want to start with the words of my instigator,’ he began, quoting a stance of the current minister of justice Nordio going back to 2019 concerning 41 bis. The comrade then reiterated the meaning and perspective of the hunger strike against the detention regime, which he called a ‘medieval muzzle’ and a ‘metastasis that will spread to political dissent’. Alfredo said he does not accept this non-life and will go on until the end. “For anarchists, who have no organisation, the given word is everything.” That is why he will keep his word, going on to the bitter end. “I will leave with dignity. I hope that those who love me understand that.” The comrade wished to point out that, in the situation in which he is imprisoned, “the only remnants of light I see are the acts of my anarchist brothers and sisters around the world”, “Thank you anarchists. I love you”. Finally, he concluded: “Abolition of the 41 bis regime. Abolition of life imprisonment without parole. Solidarity with all anarchist, communist and revolutionary prisoners in the world”.

GENOA, ITALY : SABOTAGED ANTENNA RELAY

GENOA: SABOTAGED ANTENNA RELAY MARCH 2023

“The logic that commands us is less and less simple profit but even more ruthless scientific logic; Once a scientific discovery is made, it is impossible to go back, even if the resulting technological innovation leads us by the hand to self-destruction.”
ALFREDO COSPITO

In a society that pushes us more and more towards technological alienation, towards a future that excludes real contact by giving our existence a virtual alternative, a place based on the illusion of having control over any aspect of our time, a blinder that distracts us from reality.

As anarchists and anarchists we are aware that there is only one class that has control of hyper-technological society, and it alone enjoys its benefits, so we believe that there is no more concrete sabotage than going to strike at the heart of the future and progress.

DEATH TO THE STATE AND ITS MEGAMACHINES, FOR A FUTURE FREE FROM SCIENTIFIC EXPLOITATION.
LONG LIVE INTERNATIONALISM AND LONG LIVE ANARCHY.

Perugia, Italy : Alfredo Cospito case – Update 14.3.23

Perugia : Alfredo Cospito case – Update 14.3.23

This morning Alfredo was connected by teleconference during a hearing of the Perugia Court of Appeal, which was asked to review the request for the annulment of the injunctions ordered by the investigating magistrate, following a request by the local prosecutor against him and five other suspects for articles published in the anarchist newspaper Vetriolo.

According to the indictment, Alfredo and the other five are accused, among other things, of incitement to commit a crime, with the aim of terrorism and the subversion and overthrow of the democratic order. Until now, the suspects in this case have remained free.
Alfredo started speaking and read a long text, claiming the battle against the suppression of freedom imposed by the 41bis regime, but also of freedom of expression, both for himself and for his co-defendants. There was no mention of his health, but his seriousness was more than evident to those who saw him. He stressed in particular that he never wanted to be a ‘martyr’, and that this was part of his battle to assert his rights.

Four and one hundred and fifty – Quattro e centocinquanta

Four and one hundred and fifty

“Dear Teacher my son cannot register for the Balilla [fascist youth organisation] we are poor and we do not need hate”.

A man wrote this message to his son’s teacher in the 1930s, a message that could still be written today. We do not need hate. Not the hatred concealed in the language of the State, that which kills with the coldness of bureaucracy, which justifies even the greatest infamy. A language that we do not even pay any attention to anymore, so addicted are we to listening to it uninterruptedly without reflecting on its real meaning. The language that describes the man with a different skin colour to his own, if poor, as ‘residual load’, waste to be sent to the dump. A language that nothing will alter, not even the tiny bodies of dead children lined up side by side, because in the end even that accountancy is, for many, just a bureaucratic question. It is a question of numbers that will soon be filling up tomorrow’s statistics, not of poor unfortunates who drowned while they had hope in front of their eyes: four days at sea and the coast only 150 metres away. But the linguistic severity of bureaucracy does not give a damn about poor unfortunates. It doesn’t ask how long a night spent rigid with terror is. It doesn’t care if a journey can cost a life, because it travels by State flights.

Yet that language does not come asepticly from nowhere, it is the expression of a very specific way of thinking: that of Domination, which in turn is embodied in men and women with faces, not just in words that hurt.

About the recent searches ordered by prosecutors of Rome and Massa as part of the investigations concerning some initiatives in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on March 3 and 9, 2023

We publish in English two updates on recent investigations by the prosecutors of Massa (searches and precautionary measures of March 9th) and Rome (searches of March 3rd).

Searches and precautionary measures for the demonstration in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and all revolutionary prisoners on September 10, 2022, in Marina di Carrara

Yesterday, March 9th, searches were carried out against three comrades in Crotone, Lecce and Spoleto. The three were also given the precautionary measure of being obliged to present themselves daily at the police station for facts dating back to last September in Carrara where, during a demonstration in solidarity with Alfredo, a Lega electoral stand was encountered. There are seven suspects in total, five for robbery, two for defacement and all seven for election campaign interruption.
