Public declaration by anarchist, subversive anti-authoritarian, nihilist, anti-speciesist and anarcho-feminist affinities regarding the current situation of comrade Alfredo Cospito, locked up in the Italian fascist prisons and since almost 90 days on hunger strike.

As comrades with affinity to the anarchist struggle against prisons, prison society and the system of domination, we want to express through these words our unwavering support for comrade Alfredo Cospito, kidnapped by the Italian state and held in the prison of Bancali, Sassari, Sardinia – an extermination center where he is detained after having been subjected to the infamous 41 bis regime. This regime aims to destroy him as a person by preventing him from maintaining contact with any of his comrades inside, as well as outside the prisons.

Alfredo has been on hunger strike since almost 90 days. He demands the end of the application of this annihilating regime, which blackmails anyone who enters it, through the torture of isolation, to choose between collaboration with justice or death – the only two occasions in which 41 bis ceases to be applied.

As comrades in affinity we repudiate the torture applied to Alfredo and any other comrade. We know that they fear us because of our uncompromising commitment to end with the system of domination, a commitment that does not end either with torture, prison, or death itself and, for this reason, Alfredo is risking his life firmly and without hesitation.

A few days ago, I received the news that the indomitable Alfredo Cospito began a hunger strike to demand his release from the 41 bis legal torture regime.

For those who do not know Alfredo Cospito, he is an anarchist comrade kidnapped by the Italian state, since 2012, for an attack against one of those responsible for the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. This action was claimed by the Olga FAI-FRI faction and Alfredo took responsibility for it.

Since this conviction, the comrade has been prosecuted in several repressive operations, such as Scripta Manet, Sybilla, which have managed to obtain convictions and have added more years to the comrade’s already long sentence.

On January 12th, the 85th day of the hunger strike to the bitter end against 41 bis prison regime and life imprisonment without possibility of parole, the antagonist radio station Radio Onda d’Urto broadcast a third speech by the doctor who is regularly visiting anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, imprisoned in the Bancali prison, in Sassari. As for the updates on the 71st (December 29th) and 78th day (January 5th) of hunger strike, we report a transcript of the speech and the recording of the broadcast (in italian language):

“He has lost even more weight, and significantly more than last week: he lost another 4.50 kg, so he weighed 80 kg today. So for his height of about 1.93 cm, he is about 10 kg below his target weight. The musculature is getting progressively smaller […]. He was a bit angry because today four members of parliament from Partito Democratico [Democratic Party, PD] went to visit him [in Italy parliamentarians can, by their own decision, visit prisons at any time] and he reiterated that his struggle is not just for him, but is for all those who are imprisoned in 41 bis.
