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.
TUESDAY 1ST NOVEMBER
10am – Prison of Terni
2pm – Prison of Spoleto
SOLIDARITY GATHERINGS
• We will bring news of Alfredo’s struggle against the 41 bis sections!
• In solidarity with Juan, maximum-security prisoner in the prison of Terni!
• In solidarity with the medium-security prisoners in the prison of Terni protagonists in the revolt of last October 16!
• In solidarity with Roberto Morandi, revolutionary communist in 41 bis in the prison of Spoleto!

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.

The two dragons of my anarchism

Introduction

Hola comrades,
I am happy to take part in the anarchist book fair in Carrara, 2022, and to intervene through my friends and comrades with this pamphlet, and in the presentation of issue 14 of ‘i giorni e le notti’, an anarchist magazine of which I feel an intrinsic part.
Books, fanzines, anarchist journals…I believe that editorial collaboration, non-commercial book fairs, or collaboration in creating a book or reading it and analysing it together, is for me a process of praxis and realisation, which goes far beyond a purely mechanistic question. The relations, the relationships, the contrasts of the different individualities create a diversified whole of organic and living development in its symbiosis of unrepeatable and unique human relations and relationships.

WE DO NOT ALLOW THE MURDER OF ALFREDO COSPITO – ON HUNGER STRIKE SINCE OCTOBER 20th / CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL MOBILIZATION

On Oct. 20th, the anarchist Alfredo Cospito, during a trial at the Sassari Supervisory Court, made an attempt to read an articulate statement in which he was about to announce that he is starting a hunger strike against the 41 bis prison regime to which he is subjected and against the hostile life sentence. A battle that Alfredo does not intend to stop, until his own death. The comrade, who has been in 41 bis since last May 5th, under a decree signed by then Minister of Justice Marta Cartabia, is now being detained in the Bancali prison in Sardinia.

Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist who has always been at the front line of struggles, never willing to compromise or give up. He is a comrade who has been fighting since the late 1980s, a period in which he was imprisoned as a total objector (for refusing to serve in the obligatory military service) and who, after his arrest in 2012, during the trial that followed, claimed the responsibility for the shooting of Ansaldo Nucleare executive Roberto Adinolfi, an act that was carried out by the Cell “Olga Nucleus” / Informal Anarchist Federation – International Revolutionary Front (FAI/IRF) and occurred on May 7th of the same year in Genoa.

Declaration of start of hunger strike by anarchist Ivan Alocco in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (France, October 27, 2022)

Declaration of start of hunger strike on 27th of October 22 , by anarchist Ivan Alocco in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

For the past few days in Italy, anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito has been on hunger strike against being subjected to 41 bis, the “special prison.”

Once again, Alfredo is also fighting for each and every one of us. So that we do not resign ourselves to increasing repression as a fatality.

Although my situation is far from comparable to his, I stand by his side.

Being locked up, I have limited room for maneuver. On Thursday, October 27, I therefore begin a hunger strike in solidarity with his struggle.

I am aware that my gesture is only symbolic and I do not know how long I will be able to keep it up. But I hope that this small gesture can help him in his determination.

And that the determination of all of us can turn into action.

With head held high!
Long live anarchy!

A message like an arrow tearing down the walls of 41bis

A solidarity message from captive member of the Organization Anarchist Action to anarchist guerilla Alfredo Cospito, who is on a hunger strike against isolation regime 41bis.

For some, the cohesion of comradeship is built on shared positions or philosophical opinions. In an empty dimension where common words are far from action. In the guerilla war what makes us comrades is the common enlistment in this war, the choices, the hostilities behind the mound of the anarchist struggle. And when we are wrapped in chains our common component is complicity, political responsibility, unrepentant stability in the same paths. It is the dedication to the pace of the path of fire.

WE OPEN CRACKS, WE DON’T BUILD BRIDGES

Presentation of the anarchist circle of Foligno

Our intention in opening the Anarchist Circle “La Faglia” is to create a space for discussion based on our anarchist and revolutionary principles. Coinciding with the closure of the Circolaccio Anarchico that existed in Spoleto from October 2018 to July 2022, the need had emerged among comrades who met in that space to open a new circle where, in addition to continuing the previous initiatives, the foundations would be laid for a new and further opportunity to reflect on our convictions.

The debates that took place at the Circolaccio Anarchico [Bad Anarchist Circle] focused on the urgency of deepening the reasons for our struggle and the current conditions of exploitation and revolutionary clash on an international level, in particular addressing the concept and idea of the State; the wars in Libya and Yemen, the SNAM gas pipeline, the Italian political theatre and the situation in the Middle East; without forgetting solidarity with the comrades in prison, the new repressive dynamics and special surveillance; technologies of death, struggles against noxiousness, especially nuclear power; the generalised uprisings that have broken out in various parts of the world and the last few years between political management of the emergency, repression and opportunities for revolt. All of these initiatives will find continuity with what will be addressed in the new space.
