updates letter by Anarchist comrade prisoner Ivan Alocco (France)

Hello to all and everyone,
I am writing these few lines to give you some news.

I am continuing the hunger strike I started on October 27, in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito’s struggle to get out of 41 bis. I am doing well. I feel tired and sometimes dizzy, but my determination remains intact.

This is the first time since June, since I’ve been locked up here, that I feel like I’m doing something worthwhile, instead of simply surviving and watching time go by. Two weeks ago, the head warden threatened to transfer me to solitary confinement if I continue with the hunger strike (” for my own good, to be better looked after in case I have a sudden health problem “), but so far he has not put his blackmail into practice.

My mail is blocked again. They gave me letters on October 24, then nothing more. Likewise, the letters I have written to my family since mid-October have still not arrived.

On Thursday, Nov. 24, at 1:30 p.m., I will appear before the investigating judge (Anne Grandjean), at the Bobigny court, for questioning.

Claim of sabotage act against rail lines in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike (Rome, Italy, November 6, 2022)

NOVEMBER 6, ROME – SABOTAGE OF TRAIN LINES IN SOLIDARITY WITH ANARCHIST ALFREDO COSPITO

On the night of November 6, we sabotaged high-speed rail and other train lines in several places in the city. Writings against 41 bis were left at the site. The goal of this action was to give visibility to the struggle of Alfredo and the other prisoners on hunger strike. The action, despite being successful (we verified that there were heavy delays to circulation the following day) was silenced by the media.

We recognize the state and its institutions responsible for Alfredo’s condition and health, and these attempts to invisibilize his struggle will not stop us: we will continue to stand by Alfredo because his struggle is our struggle.

NOT A STEP BACKWARD!
GET ALFREDO OUT OF 41 BIS!
CLOSE THE 41 BIS!
WITH JUAN, IVAN, ANNA AND ALL ANARCHIST PRISONERS!
LONG LIVE DIRECT ACTION!
LONG LIVE ANARCHY!
