Italy: The request for deferral of Alfredo Cospito’s sentence to house arrest rejected by the Supervisory Courts of Milan and Sassari

The request for deferral of Alfredo Cospito’s sentence to house arrest rejected by the Supervisory Courts of Milan and Sassari

27/3/23: The Supervisory Court of Milan replied by rejecting the request for house arrest for health reasons for anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito.

At the same time the Sassari court reached the same decision. In both cases with the long motivations already written. The comrade’s behaviour is defined instrumental in obtaining changes in political and judicial decisions.

While contradictions are accumulating within the political and judicial apparatuses (e.g., opinion of the National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate, the Attorney General of the Supreme Court, Sibilla re-examination, etc.) each time one is faced with an organ that has the power to resolve the question raised by the comrade’s struggle immediately, the party of the death sentence applies all its political power to block any possible way out.

Political position of the captured member of the OR. Anarchist Action Thanos Hatzianggelou for the beginning of the trial of the Organization on 4 April, 2023 at the Larissa Criminal Court of Appeal. (Greece)

Anarchist Action Does Not Bow to Bourgeois Justice – Message from Thanos Hatziangelou

The cruel and indecisive judges, the ones who in the majority of cases apply harsh sentences – often beyond the limits of human life – the ones who put people in prison for debts of a few thousand euros, those who make illegal and abusive any strike that goes out of the ordinary, those who throw thousands of families who have taken loans from the banks out of their homes, have not condemned ANY politician or executive of big business for plundering public wealth. They have not condemned ANY war criminals for facilitating NATO troops to participate in their criminal interventions in a number of other colonies around the globe. They have not convicted ANY shipowner for the countless environmental violations that poison our lives. They have NEVER condemned pharmaceutical company executives who bribe doctors and government officials to control the drug market, which translates into thousands of deaths of grassroots people. They have hardly condemned any low ranking police officials who murder in the streets, beat mercilessly at demonstrations and rape in police stations. They have not condemned ANY high ranking Greek police officer involved in human trafficking, drug trafficking and smuggling of fuel and cigarettes. They have not convicted ANY high level society rapists who use their financial power on the bodies of the weak by destroying their lives.

– Direct Action Cells

On April 4, the agents of bourgeois justice want to put Anarchist Action in the dock of state terrorism. On the same benches where the state and capitalist crime of Tempe* will be washed away, tyranny will once again face the fighting forces of revolutionary violence, subversion and social liberation.

Update on the medical situationdi Alfredo Cospito, ion hunger strike since October 20th against 41 bis and life sentence without appeal.

We learn from the press of the regime that today (21st March 2023) that the anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike for five months had a heart attack, the comrade – they write – “was dying”. The incident allegedly began when the comrade felt a tremor in his hand and alerted a guard. “After ten minutes the nurse and the doctor arrived, shouting and saying that they had seen a heart problem from the monitoring. They were very concerned, he was dying.” […]. The crisis reportedly subsided after an injection of a large dose of potassium.

The results of tests carried out yesterday were also released today. According to the doctors, the values indicate that Alfredo may now have suffered permanent neurological damage and could be paralysed.

Greece: ‘For our brother Alfredo’

‘For our brother Alfredo’

Sixteen Poste Italiane vehicles were set on fire early Saturday morning, while 22 buses were burnt to the ground Saturday night in Rome. This was preceded by the burning of telecommunications pillars in Genoa, shortly before the big anti-fascist march in Milan, attended by over 4000 anarchists, to commemorate 20 years since the murder of Davide Casare (Dax) and in solidarity with Alfredo’s struggle against 41bis, who is now on his 150th day of a hunger strike.

Many developments are expected this week due to moves made indefence of Alfredo, as well as the upcoming review of the request on 24 March for the recall of 41bis and his detention for health reasons by the Milan Court of Appeal.

Urgent Words Faced with a Flame that is Going Out. Words of Monica Caballero on the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito

February 3, 2023

I have had the pleasure of reading the words of comrades from different territories who showed their ardent solidarity with the hunger strike waged by Alfredo Cospito to get out of the torture regime of 41 bis. In these lands a group of subversive, anarchist, anti-authoritarian, anti-speciesist and nihilist prisoners also expressed our unconditional solidarity with the comrade. To fraternize with a comrade as valuable as Alfredo is necessary for those of us who position ourselves as deniers and antagonists to the current life governed by authority, and even more so in the difficult moment he is going through,. Sending words of solidarity from prison to a like-minded comrade is never out of place.

In my case, when I have received words of solidarity from a comrade while imprisoned, I have always valued and treasured them as something very precious. But at this moment comrade Alfredo Cospito needs words to be transformed into actions, to attack, coerce, subvert, manipulate, threaten, etc. all those who have the power to change his prison situation and/or who sustain the 41 bis regime.

[Chilean State] Text: A Legacy of Disgrace: On the situation of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda

Text: A Legacy of Disgrace: On the situation of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda

The backlog of pages and cases passed from one office to another, from one department to another and from one ministry to another. The pages were still white, they had not yet yellowed as they eventually would. To tell the truth, many things at that time passed from one office to another, the transition accommodated and rearranged things so that nothing changed.

The urban guerrilla warfare, assaults, executions, brass, gunpowder, statements of armed hooded men, stolen cars, banks and blasts of the nineties were translated into the legal language of illicit association, homicide, co-perpetrator of homicide, formation of a combat group, robbery with intimidation, serious injuries and an almost infinite etcetera.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) : Fire-bruary

IAATA, March 5, 2023

The first cold hours of February 25 were warmed up by the criminal and shameless fire of a Circet car in Amidonniers. The development of telecoms transforms the world into an open-air work colony, but only the authorities have an interest in pretending that revolt is impossible. There is always a way to strike.

This flaming car was meant to salute Boris, a comrade from Besançon who was repressed for burning cell towers, and the people arrested in November across Occitania for burning cell towers and speed cameras.

Also, on February 24 the Italian justice confirmed that Alfredo Cospito
will remain in solitary confinement, which is like trying to kill him. This fire also wanted to support the fight against this world of barbed wire.

Words of Anarchist Prisoner Aldo Hernández

March 16, 2023

Metal against metal, heavy blows at the entrance of the building where I slept with my beloved daughter and my brother that night. I reacted to their machine guns and the imminent violence to which we would be subjected by waking up my daughter, getting her dressed, and telling her that the police were coming for me. I managed to tell her that I loved her forever and ever, to be strong and calm. I stood in front of her in the face of their weapons and arrogance.

Damn cowards, they investigated me for more than a year, followed me, placed cameras, photographed me, listened to me… they were on my heels and preferred to expose a minor to the violent raid that we experiences that early morning of December 22, 2022. Despicable beings that only did not stop me before out of fear. They clearly knew that this individual would not receive them in a good way, on the contrary, with all the courage that those of us who carry the confrontation against power and its servants, that courage that runs through our veins, that the enemies will never be able to understand. They came to me in the pure style of the fascism of the D.I.N.A or the C.N.I. I cannot forgive much less forget that they subjected my daughter to a “subtle interrogation”. I hate them a little more every second. Remember that though today my body is imprisoned, my ideas and projects continue to travel illegally through the streets of this territory with the desire to concretize in action what I have reflected with different comrades, sisters and brothers.

Spain: Claim for the Package Bomb Against the Head of the Prison Guards’ Union CSIF Zaragoza

March 11, 2023

Alfonso Peiró is not a mere jailer. For some reason he feels compelled to defend corporate impunity, specifically in the Zuera, Zaragoza maxi-prison.

When the prisoners vent their anger among themselves or against one another, everything continues as usual. However, when someone dares to return the violence to the henchmen of confinement, doubly despicable characters like Alfonso Peiró come out to bawl victimhood.

The few consequences that could arise from our attentions are nothing compared to what characters of his ilk and their superiors deserve.

Montevideo, Uruguay ; Banner in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Montevideo :  Banner in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

As a gesture of rebellious complicity and response to the international call for solidarity with the comrade Alfredo, we dropped this banner off front of one of the houses that the Italian community has in the Uruguayan capital. The comrade has been on hunger strike for more than 100 days, fighting until death against the 41Bis torture regime and life in prison.

The fact that the Italian state is letting him die is no surprise, and is is crucial to multiply and expand gestures of solidarity and action to support our comrade. Let’s not wait for the worst outcome to take to the streets.

FREEDOM FOR ALFREDO
FREEDOM FOR ALL

Internationalist Call for Actions in Solidarity with Marcelo Vollarroel after 15 Years in Prison & in the Context of the Permanent Campaign for his Freedom! ( $hile )

Internationalist Call for Actions in Solidarity with Marcelo Vollarroel after 15 Years in Prison & in the Context of the Permanent Campaign for his Freedom!

On March 15, in the context of comrade Alfredo Cospito’s admirable determination in Italian prison, and comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar’s preparation for trial, antiauthoritarian and subversive prisoner, comrade Marcelo Villarroel marks 15 years of imprisonment. 15 years ago, he was captured in Argentina while fleeing Chile in clandestinity due to the case known as “Security”.

The antagonistic actions against power that the comrade chose as his form of life at a very young age made him a target of the powerful and their media. They created a brutal and crude spectacle of persecution out of the expropriation of that bank in the center of Santiago, Chile and the resulting death of the cop Moyano in October 2007.

The state kidnapping of Marcelo, which in concrete terms is a concealed life sentence, is sustained by the most rotten filth of the dictatorial inheritance: Pinochet’s putrid Military court, even in 2023. Something that seems unthinkable 50 years after the military coup and the start of the civic-military dictatorship.

However, this parallel justice, that no one seems to notice, hear or mention, remains intolerably operational. This was demonstrated this past February 27 at the sentence review hearing helf in the 7th Guarantee Court of Santiago, which confirmed that Marcelo should remain in prison until 2036.

Oaxaca, Mexico: Claim for Explosive Attack of Bienestar Bank

Oaxaca: Claim for Explosive Attack of Bienestar Bank

February 19, 2023 via: es-contrainfo

We claim responsibility for the detonation of the homemade explosive artefact inside an ATM of bienestar Bank located on the outskirts of Oaxaca City, territory dominated by the Mexican State.

2/14/23 at dawn. We light the explosive. From a distance we hear the explosion and the bank alarms. We expected a more powerful impact that would cause greater damage to the ATM, and break the tedium of social peace for a moment. This time the action was silenced by the henchmen of order and the press. We will sharpen the knife more next time. This seditious gesture is a combative greeting to Alfredo Cospito and his irreducible war against prison and the 41 B.I.S. isolation regime.

It is clear to us that insurrectional solidarity requires will, courage and gunpowder.
Intensify the conflict by pushing forward the attack!
For the extension of combat and seditious solidarity!
DOWN WITH THE 41 B.I.S. ISOLATION REGIME!!!
For the practice of anarchic vandalism against the established order!

Anarchic Informality.

Chile : Meeting in Solidarity with Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar

Meeting in Solidarity with Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar

March 12, 2023 informativoanarquista

With the start of preparations for the oral trial of comrades Mónica and Francisco, we call on you to come to the premises of the Injustice Center (located at Av. Pedro Montt 1606, Santiago Centro) on March 14 at 9:30 am. This is the beginning of a process in which the state apparatus will seek to break our networks and momentum, which is why solidarity remains part of our direct confrontation with any authority.

“Our only decision is the permanent attack against power.”
“Until all authority burns, unyielding until total liberation.”

MONICA AND FRANCISCO TO THE STREETS!
