Anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito has been transferred from the Alta Sicurezza 2 (“High Security 2”) section of Ferrara prison to that of Terni. Below the new address:

Alfredo Cospito
C. C. di Terni
strada delle Campore 32
05100 Terni
Italia – Italy

The comrade has been in prison since September 14, 2012, following the repressive operation that led to his arrest and that of another comrade, both accused of having shot and wounded Roberto Adinolfi, the CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare, on May 7 of that year in Genoa. The action, claimed by the Nucleo Olga of Federazione Anarchica Informale – Fronte Rivoluzionario Internazionale (“Informal Anarchist Federation – International Revolutionary Front”), was then claimed individually by the two comrades also during the first degree trial held in Genoa. The comrade had been imprisoned in Ferrara’s AS2 since 2013.

Natascia, an anarchist prisoner, went on hunger strike on June 16 to oppose her transfer to the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison.

She has been transferred several times since her arrest in May 2019, in addition to having her correspondence censored and various other forms of internal pressure. It is evident the will of judges and jailers to distance and isolate her from the solidarity of those who support her from outside and to undermine her determination.

This last transfer takes on an even more indicative value since it occurred in the proximity of the beginning of the trial for Operation Prometheus that has Natascia together with 2 other comrades, accused of having sent explosive packages to the then director of the DAP and to the two public prosecutors Sparagna and Rinaudo.

This is an era where the triumph of science, technology and technique prevails unceasingly. All this does not mean that we are in a science fiction or visionary world, but that, in the crude reality, science after having faithfully only served politics (the State) and economics (capital), has now become the driving force of the new productive and economic order.

Until the middle of the 20th century it provided the propaganda means (TV, radio, press), the repressive ones (weapons) to the State and the means of industrial production that reduced the workforce. From the middle of the last century onwards, the power of science has grown more and more to invade every aspect of our lives and through bio-nano technologies, of life itself.

The monopoly of truth seems to have made science all-powerful, as with the state its historic monopoly of violence.

CAMPING AGAINST THE TITANIUM MINE ON MOUNT BEIGUA

The threat of a devastating titanium mine in the Piampaludo – Bric area in Tarin keeps advancing. Far from appeals and the chambers of the regional administrative tribunal, we decided to invite everybody to a self-organized camping to get to know one another, to know the territory and start sharing spaces without any kind of authority in the Mount Beigua area in Liguria.

A text by Divine on his deportation from Italy

Greetings to everyone.

On the morning of July 15, 2019 I found the cops at home who asked me to follow them to sign a notification.

When I arrived at the police station, I found out that the notification was about my deportation for the following day, so they took me to Malpensa airport and kept me there.

Of course, the same day of the detention there was a medieval-style trial, with everything already decided at the beginning.

The next day, at Malpensa, I was told by a cop that the deportation had been blocked by the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights), so instead of just releasing me, not satisfied with the outcome of the European court, they decided to lock me up in the CPR [Centro di Permanenza per il Rimpatrio, “Centre of Permanence for Repatriation”, detention centres for migrants in Italy] of Bari.

GATHERING AGAINST SPECIAL SURVEILLANCE

From the struggles against the devastation and plundering of the earth to the struggles against borders that divide people and split up the world, from the antimilitarist struggle against the massacres of war and arms trafficking to the struggle of those who fight against work exploitation… The enemy is always the same: power, neo-liberal domination, the capitalist system that grabs everything for the privileges of the few to the detriment of the many.

For power those who rebel become dangerous individuals to be monitored. Repression transforms affinity between people into terrorist cells and subversive associations. Our response to these attacks is self-organization and carrying on the struggle in spite of the repression.

TUESDAY 15TH JUNE AT 6:30PM – START OFF

Concerning Claudio’s detention situation, about two months ago he was transferred from the AS3 unit to the “commons” unit in the prison of Syracuse. The reasons for his transfer have yet to be clarified, but it seems it is a “ministerial” order, i.e. by DAP [Department of Prison Administration] (actually the body that decides over placements in detention). Moreover it was declared that custodial measures for 280bis were not valid, but he remains in prison for ‘carrying and fabricating weapons and explosives with purposes of terrorism’.

We recall that the first grade trial for ”Operation Bialystok” started on 25^th February 2021 with statements from the witness for the prosecution Luigi Imperatore, a ROS colonel. On 12^th May Imperatore was still the protagonist, carrying on his historical ramblings regarding the anarchist galaxy and actually giving prominence to the usual written “evidence” for lack of concrete facts.

The next hearings will be on 8^th and 30^th June, when experts for the defence will be heard (concerning accusations against Claudio), who will present their consultation based on the reports produced by the prosecutor. After the summer break hearings will continue on 7^th, 9^th September and 6^th October. From 30/06 hearings will be held in the bunker courtroom of Rebibbia.

This is the address to write to Claudio:

Claudio Zaccone

C.C. Siracusa

Strada dei Monasteri 20

– E MENO MALE CHE IN CAMPANIA SE MAGN’ BBUONO! [And it’s a good thing we eat well in Campania!] –

Hi there!

A quick update.
Without wasting a minute, the night after the last “Scintilla” preliminary hearing [June 16], they put me back on a plane to send me back to this shitty place, S. Maria Capua Vetere. I knew that the transfer to the north was only a temporary support, but I sincerely thought that I would have some more time, just as I naively hoped that they would at least read the various petitions submitted, by me and my lawyer, for reassignment to another prison.Since the day I was transferred here, three months ago, I have not been able to communicate decently with my lawyer: interviews have been reopened, so no video calls or phone calls at the request of the lawyer, phone calls are only one per month lasting 10 minutes, even for defendants and even for those who are 1,000 kilometres away from the trial site or from home.

If he is in the mood, the director of the prison can grant a second extraordinary one during the same month, but obviously, as this is a concession, he is under no obligation to do so, and in any case it is out of the question to exceed two monthly. So 20 minutes per month, in a small stuffy room, and at the appointed time and day, hoping that your lawyer will be in the office that day.
