Update on Operation Sibilla: Hearing set for Alfredo Cospito and the other comrades under investigation at Perugia review court.

Written February 18, 2023

On February 13th notification was given of the the date of the review hearing on the pre-trial measures for comrades targeted in the repressive operation Sibilla of 11th November 2021 (among whom Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike for over 120 days, and Gianluca, currently under house arrest for the investigation Diamante of the public prosecutor’s office of Genoa). The hearing has been set for March 14th at the court of Perugia.

This second review resulted from the hearing held last June 22nd in Rome at the court of cassation, concluded with the acceptance of the prosecutor Manuela Comodi’s request, therefore with the annulment of the previous order of the court of review (which on December 16th had led to the lifting of the precautionary measures). The court of cassation, in spite of the opinion of the general prosecutor (who had called for the rejection of the Perugia prosecutor’s appeal), had therefore ‘exhumed’ the investigation by cancelling the revocation of the measures and ordering a new re-examination hearing.

Operation Sibilla, carried out by the carabinieri Special Operations Group and the Perugia public prosecutor’s office under the coordination of the Antimafia and Antiterrorism National Direction, played a key role in the genesis and application of the 41 bis detention order for the comrade Alfredo Cospito.

Update about the health condition of Alfredo Cospito on the 119th day of hunger strike (Italy, February 15, 2023)

Update about the health condition of Alfredo Cospito on the 119th day of hunger strike February 15, 2023)

In recent weeks, a mass-media campaign of slander and denigration has been underway against anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito. Various newspapers have given much prominence to the fact that in the last few days the comrade had started taking supplements again and that he had eaten two yogurts [in the past months, the comrade had at times taken extremely mild supplements, which he had stopped taking for some time, only to try to resume them in the last few days along with the yogurts so as to try to remain lucid in view of the hearing on February 24th in the cassation court, for which the prosecutor general has filed a request to overturn the 41 bis measure].

Today’s news [February 15th] is that Alfredo’s body, now after too many days of hunger strike, has rejected both these two yogurts and the supplements, contrary to mass-media reports: what he is currently taking is only sugar, salt and potassium. This is dramatic news both with regard to the comrade’s possibility of making it to February 24th alive (the day on which the hearing for the appeal against the order of the surveillance court of Rome that confirmed detention under 41 bis will be held at the cassation court), and with regard to his ability to resume feeding himself following a possible revocation of the 41 bis order.

Clandestine humanitarian

Chatting in pleasant company during a dedicated theme evening, it had been assumed that the institutional solution to get out of the cul de sac into which the established order has stubbornly slipped while awaiting entry into play of Cartabia [ex-minister of justice] (another wild card that could possibly be used) with dignity (in their opinion), could only lean towards a humanitarian one. To save ass and face without putting the failure of the hard line and the power of the State in question, in the hope that it will work, downplaying responsibility and guilt and illustrating pietas to gain points now in free fall, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

The entry of the fire brigade was quite obvious given the incorruptibility of Alfredo; the issue was the timing, a petty battle that will presumably be taken to the extreme in order to build the possible above-mentioned construction by not asking the right questions and allowing the facial plasticity of all the institutions involved, who are now struggling to stay afloat in that sea they had deluded themselves into thinking they were damming up and which is becoming more and more impetuous.

Today newspapers inform us that another collection of signatures bearing 38 names of distinguished firefighters of the last hour has been forwarded to Carlo Nordi and to the government to ask for a “gesture of humanity and courage” for Alfredo.

Greece: Announcement of the hunger strike of Anarchists and Fighting Prisoners in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

16th of February, Hunger Strike of Anarchists and Fighting Prisoners in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

The 41-bis prison regime is the completion of the prison structure into a masqueraded death sentence. The execution, in this case, does not end in one moment, like with a gunshot, the tightening of the noose, the application of electrical current or the injection of poison into the body, rather it lasts a lifetime in a state of social coma, in a state of non-world. And so, spread through time. Out of this world, the death sentence has evaded history, just like the state pursues oblivion for all the prisoners of the social war who are buried alive in the state of 41-bis. The 41-bis regime has already murdered one fighter, Diana Blefari Melazzi.

The 41-bis regime and the law about “massacre” are the legacy of the european counter-revolution from the time of Piazza Fontana (Strage di piazza Fontana). This civil war never ended. The states, and particularly the Italian one, carry on the counter-revolution so that the flame may never flare up again. All the systems follow, step by step, the examples first introduced as special warfare, e.g. the white cells of West Germany, the F-type prisons in Turkey and the FIES prisons in Spain to the Type-C prisons in Greece or the new high security prison system A.A.; the still active Hitler-inspired law about indefinite extension of one’s sentence on “preventative” grounds, by which comrade Thomas Meyer Falk is being held for another 10 years (25 in total) in Freiburg prison in Germany, to the different methods of extorting declarations of repentance, and from Asinara to Imrali.

Anarchist Alfredo Cospito is fighting for the flame to flare up again. Let’s reassert the fight of the comrade.

It is our duty to defend in deed the battle that Alfredo Cospito is fighting. A struggle for and against time itself. This particular hunger strike does not concern only the comrades in the italian territory, but it is internationalist, and so the star of internationalist solidarity must shine on the side of Alfredo Cospito and all those who are fighting from within a special prison regime. From Greece to every point in the planet – for all those fighting for freedom.

Because defeat is not captivity, but losing one’s faith in the possibility of wining. So, we are collectively going on a hunger strike, according to each one’s capacity, so that we may stand by the side of anarchist revolutionary Alfredo Cospito, but also, against the death regime of 41-bis.

At the same time the struggle against the new prison code in Greek prisons is continuing.

Foligno: You bet we’ll remember, and how! About the 41 bis for Alfredo Cospito: Those who are responsible

YOU BET WE’LL REMEMBER, AND HOW!
ABOUT THE 41 BIS FOR ALFREDO COSPITO: THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE

In recent days, a media campaign of mystification and lies has been going on around the hunger strike that Alfredo Cospito is carrying on to the last breath against life imprisonment without appeal and 41 bis. We’ve heard it all. The prime minister Giorgia Meloni, with her usual victimhood, went so far as to suspect conspiracies about the coincidence of the start of the hunger strike with the launching of her government.
Another lie circulating is the one about a phantom alliance between anarchists and the mafia, deduced from wiretaps between Alfredo and the only three people he is allowed to see in the prison yard. The State, which decided to lock an anarchist up in 41 bis for the first time, is now instrumentalising the fact that that anarchist speaks to the only human beings he can meet. Sociability groupings which, by the way, are decided centrally by the ministry in Rome! In truth, it was with the creation of the DNAA (Direzione Nazionale Antimafia e Antiterrorismo) that the State wanted to set up a war machine against revolutionary insurgency, a machine that had as its weapons the exceptional tools that hitherto only applied to the anti-mafia. We are witnessing a complete reversal of the facts: those who merged completely different realities into the bureaucracies of the judicial and penitentiary administration are now crying ‘bonding’.

Similarly, we are aghast when we hear again the president of the council Giorgia Meloni assert that she will not negotiate with anarchists. And not just because everyone in Italy knows that the State only negotiates with the mafia. Statements like these denote that those in government have completely lost touch with reality. It is the anarchists who, since time immemorial, have never wanted to deal with institutions.

Words in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito by an anarchist prisoner from Hamburg,Germany

Words in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito by an anarchist prisoner from Hamburg

As many imprisoned comrades worldwide before me, I want to send words in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito from the prison Billwerder in Hamburg, Germany.

The italian state wants to bury an inconvenient anarchist alive in it’s
torture-isolation-prison.-system „41bis“. Alfredo is fighting with a
hunger-strike till the end against his situation and against 41bis in
total.

This is a continuation of a life full of struggle. Alfredos way
was also present here in the north. The attack against nuclear-boss
Adinolfi, the courtcase in Genua and Alfredos und Nicolas dignified
stand in it and also the written contributions over the years of
imprisonment found their way to us. Continue reading Words in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito by an anarchist prisoner from Hamburg,Germany →

Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners Begin Fast in Solidarity With Alfredo Cospito, 104 Days on Hunger Strike
January 31, 2023

via: informativoanarquista

For Alfredo Cospito:

A loud war cry!!!
A call for internationalist solidarity!
A clear call to action!!!

In the course of the mobilizations in solidarity with the hunger strike of Italian anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, which has been going on for 104 days, today, January 31, anarchist and subversive prisoners held in the La Gonzalina-Rancagua Prison are beginning a solidarity fast. This is a minimal gesture of complicity in the face of such a transcendental and decisive struggle that the comrade is carrying out to end the isolation the Italian State has subjected him to and against his recent life sentence.

The situation is extremely urgent and there is no room for moments of waiting and reflection that only strengthen apathy and inaction.

Nor is it the time to be passive spectators while the Italian State lets Alfredo die, in one of the clearest demonstrations of authoritarian brutality.

Are we going to wait for our comrade to die before deciding to act?

Solidarity to comrade Alfredo Cospito! Sempre con l’anarchia! [IT-EN/GR, By Open Assembly of Anarchists (Athens – Greece)

Solidarity to comrade Alfredo Cospito! Sempre con l’anarchia!

[IT]

Finché ogni prigione non sarà abbattuta. Sempre con l’anarchia.
Perché per chi ama la vita, reagire quando è in gioco la vita e la morte è un atto di dovere.,
Anna Beniamino

Alfredo Cospito, detenuto anarchico a cui è stata imposta la legge del “massacre” nel caso “Scripta Manent”-sul doppio attentato alla scuola dei carabinieri di Fossano, firmato da FAI-RAT (Federazione Anarchica Informale – Rivolta Anonima e Assordante)-, è in sciopero della fame contro il regime del 41-bis e l’ergastolo permanente dal 20 ottobre nel carcere di Bancali, a Sassari, Sardegna. Già dal 5 maggio e dopo dieci anni di carcere, lo Stato scelse di rafforzare l’incarcerazione del compagno (che fino ad allora aveva dato un contributo significativo al discorso anarchico con lettere, articoli e interventi), attraverso il regime dell’articolo 41-bis (carcere duro), una legge mostruosa che, in sostanza, riqualifica la reclusione in isolamento speciale anche a livello intellettuale e sensoriale. Si tratta di un cordone soffocante che elimina quasi del tutto le comunicazioni e i contatti con il mondo esterno, come tortura di sterminio psicosomatico dei militanti/e per costringerli/e al “pentimento” politico.

Inoltre, questo regime intende creare una barriera al dialogo rivoluzionario-antiautoritario tra i compagii-le compagne all’interno e all’esterno delle carceri. La censura organizzata e il tentativo di eliminare l’ esistenza stessa dei prigionieri politici rivela i denti della democrazia e la paura delle forze di potere nei confronti di coloro che portano e diffondono i semi della rivolta e dell’attacco per la demolizione del mondo dello Stato e del capitale.

Berlin : claim of the attack against the Italian diplomat’s car

On the 100th day of a hunger strike, arson an Italian diplomatic vehicle

We support the idea of decentralized actions and therefore we respond to the call for a week of action from South America in support of the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito. Communication through actions and texts is an important approach to create an informal network.

With the attack against the Italian diplomatic corps in the German capital, with the targeted arson of the car number 3 of the embassy, we participate in the week of action. It was located in the Schöneberg district, on Barbarossa-Platz, and belonged to Luigi Estero, the first Consigliere.

News of our comrade Gabriel Pombo Da Silva

source : Inferno Urbano / Monday, November 21, 2022

Unfortunately, the situation of our comrade has not changed much. Here’s a summary of some new developments after our last statement, published online last April.

Until now, we have always said that, from a legal point of view, one of the problems to be solved is a deliberate confusion about which penal code to be applied. The 1973 Code (which would give a sentence of 30 years, with the application of different remissions of sentence, accumulated over decades), in force at the time of the sentence for the events of 1990. Or the 1995 Code (which would give a sentence of 20 years, without the application of remissions), more favorable to the accused in terms of the length of the sentence. Remember that, in theory, they should always apply the Penal Code that is more in favor of the defendant, but we know what “always” changes depending on who the defendant is. Gabriel continues to be who he has always been and his determination, consistency and clarity certainly do not work in his favor.

Wuppertal (Germany): solidarity arson of a Siemens van

Nothing is finished, everything begins! Lützerath is now also in Wuppertal. A Siemens van set on fire!

source: https://de.indymedia.org/node/252039

One year after the eviction from the Osterholz forest*, we set fire to a Siemens van on the morning of Wednesday, January 25, in the Sperlingsgasse in Wuppertal-Nützenberg. Siemens is one of the large corporations involved in the exploitation of brown coal in North Rhine-Westphalia as well as in Lützerath, profiting from this dirty business. The crimes for which Siemens is also responsible are summarized here by another action group.

We say basta to the exploitation of people, animals and nature! Let’s continue to fight for a better world with the most diverse forms of action! Lützerath can be a big step forward for the climate movement. Let’s not give up!

Milan, Italy: Anarchist Alfredo Cospito has been transferred to San Paolo hospital in Milan Written February 11, 2023

Milan: Alfredo Cospito has been transferred to San Paolo hospital in Milan
Written February 11, 2023

Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike for 115 days, was transferred this afternoon from Opera prison to San Paolo hospital in Milan, in one of the rooms reserved for prisoners in 41 bis. It seems that Alfredo has been admitted to the ward of penitentiary medicine of the Milanese hospital on indications of the doctors of the clinical centre of Opera where he had been since January 30th.

Alfredo Cospito’s critical health conditions had already been reported by Andrea Crosignani, doctor on his side who had visited him precisely this Saturday morning in the prison of Opera. “He weighs 71 kilos and chili ed è at risk of cerebral oedema and potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias.” This is what Crosignani referred to the lawyer Flavio Rossi Albertini after his visit today. But Alfredo is determined to go ahead with the protest. He is lucid and walks on his own two legs.

Although I tried to convince him to take potassium again to reduce the risk of these arrhythmias. The parameters are holding, but it takes little for the situation to precipitate without any particular warning signs”.
