Sassari (Italy): a bug found in a comrade’s car

Sassari:a bug found in a comrade’s car

Legend:
1. antenna, 2. connected microphone, 3. positive and negative terminals for power supply, 4. strong magnets to stick the device to the car, 5. transmitter with SIM card and GPS.

All this was found by comrades in their car. It’s not impossible that the same kind of device has been installed in other vehicles. The device was found last week.

Against the war: break the front, sabotage, revolt. ( Trentino, Italy)

Against the war: break the front, sabotage, revolt

POSTER PDF:

 

AGAINST THE WAR

The war in Ukraine is the consequence of 30 years of encirclement operated by the NATO towards the Russian Federation.

The war in Ukraine didn’t begin with the Russian invasion of February 2022 but with the military (and neonazi) aggression against the Russian-speaking populations of Donbass initiated and legitimised by pro-EU and pro-NATO governments since 2014.

The war in Ukraine, like all wars, is a war against proletarians: first of all against the Ukrainian proletarians, used as meat for slaughter in defence of NATO imperialism, and against the Russian ones, sent to die and to kill at the front. Indirectly, it is a war against all proletarians, starting from those of the countries of the EU and the NATO: we, the exploited in the west, will pay for the support of the war, the sending of weapons, soaring defence spending, the productive effort of the industrial-military complex, first of all with cuts in pensions, health care and wages. An increasing share of socially produced wealth will be allocated to the war, the war economy will be imposed with the state of emergency.

The new appeal hearing of the Scripta Manent trial has been scheduled (Turin, Italy, June 19, 2023)

The new appeal hearing of the Scripta Manent trial has been scheduled June 19,2023

Last Friday, May 12nd, the Constitutional Court concluded the drafting of the motivations with which it opened up the possibility of recognising some type of mitigating circumstances for Alfredo Cospito [on April 19th the comrade interrupted his hunger strike], and thus avoiding a life sentence for him.

As a result of this, immediately, this morning [May 15th], a new appeal hearing was set at the court of Turin during which the judges will recalculate the sentences to be inflicted on Anna Beniamino and Alfredo [the sentences for all the other comrades, following the cassation sentence of July 6th, are already definitive]. The hearing is set for next June 19th. We recall that before the referral to the Constitutional Court, the prosecution had asked to sentence Alfredo to life imprisonment without possibility of parole and Anna to 27 years.

Always in solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists
Always at the side of those who fight

Porto Alegre, Brazil: Action Against the Italian Consulate in Solidarity with Anarchist Comrade Alfredo Cospito

P0rt0 Al3gr3 Bra$il

Sometimes anarchist presences are so few that more than once we have been predicted to disappear. Sometimes our fury is so intense that it provokes fear and long periods of internal explanatory purging. Sometimes many, sometimes few, but constantly and with great determination, we are always there for each other.

And that is why, more than once, the fire, the stones, the concentrations from Greece, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Bolivia, Uruguay, Colombia, Chile …. illuminate different territories under the same intention: We are for you Alfredo, we hate all those who set you on fire and we support your struggle from outside.

Milan, Italy: Updates on Alfredo Cospito’s health after ending the hunger strike (27th April and 3th of May2023)

Update on Alfredo Cospito’s health after ending the hunger strike (27th April 2023)

Alfredo is starting to eat again (although more slowly than he’d like, eh! eh!), he is gradually starting to eat pasta and solids, in line with the suggestions of the dietologist.

His overall readings are relatively good. There seems to be a slight improvement in the condition of the foot that had lost all feeling, but according to the doctors it is not possible to make any prognosis for the time being, in any case he is walking a little better.

He is still hospitalised in the prison wing of San Paolo hospital, impatient to get out of hospital as at present he does not even have access to the hour’s exercise period and basically never gets out of the room/cell, moreover without even any natural light; however the doctors are saying that he should remain there for at least another week. He is in good spirits, basically he is getting better. He will continue to get visits from his lawyer and doctor, so there will be updates to follow.

Responsibility claim for the explosive attack against the Aeronautica Militare base of Forte Appio by Circolo d’azione “8 marzo” (Rome, Italy, April 22, 2023)

Rome: Responsibility claim for the explosive attack against the Aeronautica Militare base of Forte Appio by Circolo d’azione “8 marzo”

On the night of April 22nd, we placed a device near Forte Appio in Rome, one of the hideouts of Aeronautica Militare [italian Air Force]. We celebrate the 100th anniversary of its birth in this way. A little reminder for those who sow war and misery all over the world. Banks, politicians, military, scientists… they are rubbish and as such must be wiped out.

Let’s not forget the massacres in the sea and in prisons like when in March 2020 the state suppressed with blood the just revolt of the prisoners, killing 14 of them. Strength and love for Serge, a comrade who is between life and death after being shot by the French cops. Solidarity with Alfredo, Juan, Anna and all those who do not lower their heads. For the diffusion of revolutionary, violent and destructive action.

Italy: EN/ IT/ FR/ ES/ GR/ DE, On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, anarchist Alfredo Cospito ended the hunger strike he began 181 days earlier, on Oct. 20, 2022.

Anarchist Alfredo Cospito ended his hunger strike undertaken since Oct. 20

On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, anarchist Alfredo Cospito ended the hunger strike he began 181 days earlier, on Oct. 20, 2022, inside the Bancali prison in Sardinia. The comrade, who is currently an inmate in the prison medicine ward of the San Paolo Hospital in Milan, had been on an all-out hunger strike for six months against the detention regime established by Article 41 bis of the Penitentiary Order (a regime to which he had been transferred on May 5, 2022) and against the hostile life sentence, which risked being the final sentence for the comrade at the end of the Scripta Manent trial.

The interruption of the hunger strike comes in the wake of the April 18 hearing in Rome at the Constitutional Court, which recognized the prevalence of mitigating circumstances vis-à-vis repeated recidivism in the case of all convictions for crimes whose fixed penalty is life imprisonment. This is the case of Alfredo, in that with the requalification (by the court of cassation, at the end of the Scripta Manent trial) of the charge inherent in the double explosive attack against the Caserma Allievi Carabinieri in Fossano on June 2, 2006, from “common massacre” (art. 422 c. p.) to “political massacre” (i.e., “massacre for the purpose of attacking the security of the state,” art. 285 c. p.), comrades Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino were facing a sentence of hostile life imprisonment and 27 years in prison, respectively, as requested by the Turin prosecutor’s office.

Rome Italy: About the constitutional court hearing on the convictions for the anarchists Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino in the Scripta Manent trial.

About the constitutional court hearing on the convictions for the anarchists Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino in the Scripta Manent trial (Rome, 18 April 2023)

Today the hearing took place in the constitutional court for the case of Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino concerning the accusation of political massacre (art. 285 c. p.) within the Scripta Manent trial.
The existing Cirielli law (year 2005, Berlusconi government) prevents mitigating factors from outweighing aggravating factors in the event of recidivism. Particularly in Alfredo Cospito’s case, this would have resulted in a definite sentence of life imprisonment despite the fact that the action he and Anna are accused of did not cause any victims.

The court therefore found this rule unconstitutional. What is more, reading the brief press release that came out of the courthouse, the court seems to have raised doubts of constitutionality in general with regard to all those cases where the fixed penalty is uniquely life imprisonment.
