Perugia : Alfredo Cospito case – Update 14.3.23

This morning Alfredo was connected by teleconference during a hearing of the Perugia Court of Appeal, which was asked to review the request for the annulment of the injunctions ordered by the investigating magistrate, following a request by the local prosecutor against him and five other suspects for articles published in the anarchist newspaper Vetriolo.

According to the indictment, Alfredo and the other five are accused, among other things, of incitement to commit a crime, with the aim of terrorism and the subversion and overthrow of the democratic order. Until now, the suspects in this case have remained free.
Alfredo started speaking and read a long text, claiming the battle against the suppression of freedom imposed by the 41bis regime, but also of freedom of expression, both for himself and for his co-defendants. There was no mention of his health, but his seriousness was more than evident to those who saw him. He stressed in particular that he never wanted to be a ‘martyr’, and that this was part of his battle to assert his rights.

Athens : We call for a solidarity gathering with microphone, saturday 11 March at 13.00 in Kapnikarea Square. Freedom for the anarchist prisoner in hunger strike (since 20/10/22) ALFREDO COSPITO!

simply cannot live in an inhumane regime like that of the 41bis, where I cannot freely read what I want. […] The only chance I have to get out of this regime is to deny my anarchy and sell out someone to put in my place. A regime where I cannot have any human contact where I can no longer see or stroke a blade of grass or hug a loved one. A regime where photos of your parents are confiscated.I will carry on my fight to the bitter end, not because of ‘blackmail’ but because this is not life.

[it] Semplicemente non posso vivere in un regime disumano come quello del 41bis, dove non posso leggere liberamente quello che voglio. […] L ‘unica possibilità che ho di uscire é quella di rinnegare la mia anarchia e vendermi qualcuno da mettere al posto mio. Un regime dove non posso avere alcun contatto umano dove non posso più vedere o accarezzare un filo d erba o abbracciare una persona cara. Un regime dove le foto dei tuoi genitori vengono sequestrate. Porterò avanti la mia lotta fino alle estreme conseguenze, non per un “ricatto” ma perché questa non é vita.

6.03.23 Latest update on Alfredo Cospito

In unprecedented delirium the government in Italy is speaking of ‘brutal criminals’ who launch violence against ‘citizens’ (…) ‘with guerrilla warfare, seriously injuring law and order and security officers’ (…) after Saturday’s demonstration in Turin in support of Alfredo Cospito and against the monstrous 41bis regime and life sentence.

The Italian State of exception is calling for VIOLENT REPRESSION of all those supporting Cospito’s cause – for which it has been called upon by the UN to provide evidence that he is being held ‘with respect for his rights and dignity’, a fact which is negated by the very conditions of 41 bis
