Incendiary attack against a mobile telecommunications antenna in solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike (Trambileno, Italy, November 5, 2022)
We learn from the media, in particular the local Trentino media, that on the night of November 5 a mobile telecommunications antenna located in the municipality of Trambileno, in the province of Trento, was set on fire. On the structure was left the writing ‘Alongside Alfredo on hunger strike. No 41 bis’, in reference to the hunger strike indefinitely undertaken, starting on October 20, by anarchist Alfredo Cospito against the 41 bis prison regime to which he was transferred on May 5 and against life imprisonment without possibility of parole. Subsequently, two other imprisoned comrades, Juan Sorroche and Ivan Alocco – respectively starting on the 25th in the Terni prison and on the 27th in the Villepinte prison, in France – also began a hunger strike in solidarity with the comrade.

1ST, I DEMAND: THE DOWNGRADING FROM 41BIS OF THE ANARCHIST ALFREDO COSPITO.
– Last May 5th, Alfredo Cospito was placed under the 41bis regime and later transferred to Bancali Prison (Sassari). This was done to
physically prevent him from communicating and contributing to the debate among anarchists, after having already been imprisoned for 10 years in AS2 and subjected several times to correspondence censorship, investigations and trials concerning his writings. The state wants to silence and annihilate him with the 41bis regime, a prison within a prison, prison of annihilation, it is a scientifically studied torture technique, period: a technique based on deprivation to induce prisoners to deny their beliefs. The 41bis was not only designed for those accused
of association with the mafia, but this imprisonment regime was also and still is used for the purpose of repression of revolutionaries and subversives. For 17 years there have been some communist revolutionaries subjected to this regime.
2ND, -FOR AN ACTIVE SOLIDARITY:
– since I do not perceive myself as isolated, I want to give continuity of solidarity and internationalist struggle because what is happening to us isn’t stand-alone cases of state revenge against us specifically as social prisoners.

CHILE: URGENCY REQUIRES FORCEFULNESS – LET’S GET ALFREDO CÓSPITO OUT OF ISOLATION
BY FRANCISCO SOLAR
The hunger strike as a tool of struggle is the last resort that the prisoner has to combat the suffocating life of prison. It is an extreme measure in which the body is used as the final trench of combat. Urgency determines the decision to carry out a struggle with these characteristics. An urgency that, undoubtedly, the situation of comrade Alfredo Cóspito, whom Power tries to silence under an insane isolation, presents today.
They perceived his actions as hard blows which, if replicated and multiplied, would put the imposed order in jeopardy.
They saw in his writings and proposals important contributions to seditious ideas and practices that constitute a danger to any expression of authority.
And they are not wrong.
For these reasons they have decided to apply the 41 bis to Alfredo. In the face of this attack we have no choice but to respond with strength, with decision, being clear that this is a struggle for Alfredo and for all of us who take a stand against power. Understanding the importance of fighting this battle, seeing it as an opportunity to strengthen ties and complicities in an internationalism of action.

FIRST OF NOVEMBER TERNI – SPOLETO: GATHERINGS IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALFREDO, JUAN AND THE PRISONERS IN REVOLT
ALFREDO OUT OF 41 BIS
END 41 BIS
EVERYBODY FREE
The anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito has been on hunger strike since 20th October in the prison of Sassari against the regime of 41 bis that he has been subjected to since last May, after ten years in Maximum Security. The unprecedented decision to keep an anarchist in 41 bis is just the tip of the iceberg of the authoritarian backlash in act in Italy, a backlash inaugurated with the prison massacre in March 2020, followed by investigations against trade union struggles, with logistics workers accused of ‘extortion’ against the boss because they demanded wage increases, in a particularly fierce preventive counterrevolution against the anarchist movement as indicated by the seizures of books and newspapers, the endless special surveillance, the sentencing of Juan Sorroche to 28 years’ prison and the Court of Cassation of the scripta manent trial.

THE ONLY VIABLE PATH
Our comrade Alfredo Cospito finds himself imprisoned under the 41bis regime. This measure was ordered after months of censureship of correspondence and following the repressive operation Sibilla of November 2021, for which he received an arrest warrant in prison. Behind this repressive aggravation of Alfredo’s conditions of imprisonment there is the overt will of the State to silence a comrade who, during these years of imprisonment has contributed to the anarchist debate enormously with articles and interventions.
The 41 bis is a hard prison regime created to isolate, silence and annihilate the prisoner, in an attempt to get him to cooperate with Justice. Established in the late 1980s, it was initially applied in exceptional cases of riots or serious emergency situations within prison institutions. In 1992, after the Capaci massacre, it was extended to Mafia prisoners. Since 2002, it has also been applied to those convicted of terrorism and subversion, thus as an instrument of political repression. Some prisoners belonging to the communist organisation BR-PCC are also currently in this regime. Originally established as a detention regime of a temporary nature, from emergency to emergency, this exceptionality has become the norm. A mechanism, this one, which has become daily bread for the majority of the population since the proclamation of the so-called pandemic. It is now clear: once an emergency measure is established, there is no going back.
