The surveillance court of Rome rejected the appeal against the 41 bis measure for anarchist Alfredo Cospito it/en (Italy)

Il tribunale di sorveglianza di Roma ha respinto il ricorso contro il provvedimento di 41 bis per l’anarchico Alfredo Cospito

19 dicembre 2022, 61 giorni dall’inizio dello sciopero della fame ad oltranza contro il 41 bis e l’ergastolo ostativo da parte dell’anarchico Alfredo Cospito.

È appena stato reso noto l’esito del ricorso contro il provvedimento di detenzione in regime di 41 bis per Alfredo Cospito: il tribunale di sorveglianza di Roma lo ha rigettato. Il compagno resterà in 41 bis. Non è il momento dello sconforto, è il momento della rabbia. La pagherete cara. Oggi come ieri: morte allo Stato, al capitale, ad ogni autorità.

The surveillance court of Rome rejected the appeal against the 41 bis measure for anarchist Alfredo Cospito (Italy)

December 19, 2022, 61 days after the start of the hunger strike to the bitter end against 41 bis prison regime and life imprisonment without possibility of parole by anarchist Alfredo Cospito.

The decision concerning the appeal against the 41 bis detention order for anarchist Alfredo Cospito has just been announced: the surveillance court of Rome rejected it. The comrade will remain in 41 bis. This is not the moment of despondency, it is the moment of anger. You will pay dearly for it.

Today as yesterday: death to the State, to the capital, to all authority.

 

Athens,Greece: text of Anarchist Comrade B. Stathopoulos at the Court of Appeal on 9/12/22

Greece: text of Comrade B. Stathopoulos at the Court of Appeal on 9/12

….With his rant, the prosecutor is underestimating the intelligence of everyone here. Obviously for him an appeals court shouldn’t even exist and probably not a first instance court either but straight to jail, and probably in times past it would have been him giving the order to the firing squads. But for 8 months here we have been telling the truth and not inaccuracies and lies as the anti-terrorist police, the court of first instance and the prosecutor did, but he and the others I mentioned are part of a fabricated case, they are on duty in order to convict me and ruin my life.

That is why they do not substantiate the charges. It’s in the logic of command and control. On the other hand, we’ve been defending what we’ve said from the start.

Italy: Anarchist Comrade Anna Beniamino ends hunger strike (14th December 2022)

Anna Beniamino ends hunger strike

We learn by telephone that this evening, Wednesday14th December, that Anna ended the hunger strike started 38 days ago alongside Alfredo, being held under 41 bis.

At the end of the hunger strike Anna was found to have lost 13 kilos, with a blood pressure of 80 over 50. Some liver profile values exceeded parameters considered acceptable from a medical point of view. In the latter period she had been offered hospitalisation several times by the prison authorities, which she has always refused.

The life of our comrades in prison is at stake in this struggle. All of us, anarchists and revolutionaries, must ensure that it is safeguarded. This is all the more so with regard to Alfredo, who has now reached his 56th day of hunger strike and whose condition is becoming increasingly critical pending the decision of the Supervisory Court.

Chiavari: Fire at Marr vehicles and warehouse

Dinner is served, tonight flambé.

On Saturday, November 26, a slightly overcooked dinner was served. We set fire to a dozen vehicles, the warehouse and the ventilation system of Marr in Carasco [near Chiavari, in Liguria], a company that profits from the distribution of food in state prisons. That night it was its managers who swallowed a bitter pill. With this gesture we want to send all our solidarity to Alfredo currently on hunger strike to the bitter end because of his detention under the 41 bis regime.

FIRST STATEMENT FROM THE PRISONERS IN THE SUSARON CASE.


On the side of kittens, jaguars, dogs, cows, horses, chinchillas, trees and blizzards. We write this message loaded with pride, with a great mocking grimace on our faces.

The punishment for breaking the fear and the monotony of sterile grandiloquent words, we have always known is death or prison. We have known it since we were little.

en/es/el: Declarations of Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito read out during the appeal hearing for the recalculation of sentences in the Scripta Manent trial.(Italy)

We receive the declaration of Anna Beniamino read out during the appeal hearing for the recalculation of sentences as part of the Scripta Manent trial. (Turin, 5 December 2022).

This is a political trial, which has aimed from the outset at the administration of exemplary punishment, a trial of our anarchist identities rather than deeds, a trial of those who do not renounce their ideas.

A massacre without a massacre attributed without evidence is the culmination of a growing commitment of Antiterrorism and Prosecution to exorcise the spectre of anarchism of action.
The imposition of the 41 bis regime to Alfredo Cospito, guilty of engaging in relations with the anarchist movement from the prison, is in the same vein. The hunger strike to the end that the comrade has been conducting since October 20th is the last resort against isolation and sensory, physical, psychic deprivation, against a political gag. A gag that even prevented him from reading the reasons for the strike itself.

41 bis is the extreme degree of doggedness of differentiated regimes: prisons where continual solitary confinement and the overcrowding of the common sections are the two faces of a system aimed at annihilating the individual. Prisons where massacres, real ones, have occurred and continue to occur: in the suppression of the 2020 uprisings, in the incessant suicides, in the treatment of the poorest and most fragile of prisoners as ‘residual material’ of the dominant techno-capitalist society.
