Claim for the attack on the villa of slaughterer Giorgio Del Papa, in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino

November 2006. Umbria Olii explodes and four workers die. One of many massacres in the name of profit, in a company known for its devastation of the land. But the arrogance of capital knows no limits and the boss Giorgio Del Papa will go so far as to demand 35 million euros from the families of the victims, accusing them of causing the accident.

The power of money, a huge amount, difficult even to imagine for the workers’ families, some of them migrants. The power of money that will prove to be useful, obtaining the attribution of responsibility on the workers themselves, resulting in the reduction of his sentence to four years.
Hearts full of hate, thinking of our comrades Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito, we decided to give a face, a name, an address to the slogan ‘It is the State that Massacres’.

Because Anna and Alfredo risk life imprisonment for two bombs against the Carabinieri Cadets Barracks in Fossano, on June 2nd 2006, which unfortunately caused neither dead nor wounded. While the true slaughterers, the industrialists, the capitalists, are living it up in their villas.

Clashes and demonstration in Trastevere in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on 101st day of hunger strike (Rome, Italy 28th January 2023)

We are publishing a short contribution on the demonstration held Saturday 28th January in Rome in solidarity with comrade Alfredo Cospito 101 days from the beginning of the hunger strike.
Near the gathering in piazza Trilussa – which lasted several hours and from which a demonstration had been unable to set off – after some of those present had slipped out of the encirclement, there were some clashes with the repressive forces, they soon found themselves in difficulty due to being partially surrounded and to the determination of comrades to hold the streets (but they managed to stop a comrade near Piazza Trilussa). After the clashes, a demonstration was held in the small streets of Trastevere.

At the end of the demo a few dozen comrades were stopped by the DIGOS, police in riot gear and carabinieri. All 41 people apprehended during the day, taken to the police station and released without restriction from the early hours of Sunday 29, were charged with Article 337 of the Criminal Code (resisting a public official). Below is a brief informative note issued on 29 January itself.

Update about the health condition of Alfredo Cospito on the 99th day of hunger strike (Italy, January 26, 2023)

With the publication of the following texts – an update circulated yesterday, January 26th, and two transcripts of as many radio speeches by the trusted doctor, dating back to January 26th and 19th – we provide an update on the current serious health condition of anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito 100 days after the start of the hunger strike.

The attempted annihilation against Alfredo was ratified by the State in July and December last year, first (by the Court of Cassation) with the reclassification as ‘political massacre’ of a charge in the Scripta Manent trial, then (by the Court of Surveillance in Rome) with an order confirming his detention in 41 bis, the most afflictive detention regime in Italian prisons, to which Alfredo was transferred on May 5th.

In the face of this attempt at annihilation, it is of the utmost importance that the ideas, deeds, and contribution of the comrade are not forgotten, condemned to oblivion as desired by the repressive apparatuses with the Scripta Manent trial, Sibilla repressive operation, and the transfer to the 41 bis prison regime. To the isolation and censorship of the State and its prisons we oppose, today as yesterday, the tenacity and consistency of our ideas and practices.

Communiqué from different territories of Abya Yala in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, who is since almost 90 days on hunger strike against the 41 bis punishment and isolation regime.(América Latina)

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.

Words of Comrade Mónica Caballero with Alfredo Cospito

November 22nd, 2022

informativoanarquista

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.

XXVI ANTI-PRISON MARCH, CATALUNYA

Account from some anarchists who joined from out of town last saturday:

14/1/23

Shouting the whole way with passion and rage, 80 of us marched for over hour out of the town of Martorell, to the two prisons of Brians in the Catalan countryside. With chants, music and fireworks, we let the people held captive know they’re not forgotten, despite all the state’s intentions to isolate them. And through the walls and layers upon layers of fences, they called and whistled back.

The Catalan government want to build two more hellholes in the Zona Franca area of Barcelona by 2027: a 800-person “open regime” men’s prison, and a 600-person women’s prison to replace the existing one of Wad-Ras. Development has been delayed after the discovery of heavy metals in the soil. The government says it wants to develop the women’s prison “from a feminist perspective, describing the plans as “gender sensitive” and supporting “female empowerment”! Here we see the inevitable endgame of leftist politics: prison societies with enhanced perceptions of freedom, built on the dying embers of social war….

ABAJO LOS MUROS DE LAS PRISIONES!
DOWN WITH EVERY STATE AND NATION!
FOR FREEDOM, FOR ANARCHY.

From Chile to Italy. A loud cry of insurrectional complicity for Alfredo Cóspito (Marcelo Villarroel)

Words of comrade Marcelo Villarroel from prison. From Chile to Italy –
A loud cry of insurrectional complicity for Alfredo Cóspito!!!
Alfredo Cóspito is an anarchist comrade from Turin imprisoned since September 2012 after the kneecapping of Roberto Adinolfi (on May 7), executive director of Italian nuclear company Ansaldo Nucleare. This act claimed by the “Olga” Cell Informal Anarchist Federation / International Revolutionary Front for which he was sentenced to 10 years and 8 months. He was also sentenced to 20 years (first degree), for the explosive attack on the Carabinieri training school in Fossano (Cuneo) on June 2, 2006, claimed by Terrible Anonymous Revolt – Informal Anarchist Federation, which provoked the state response through the operation “Scripta Manent”.

Alfredo has been an anarchist comrade in active praxis for decades. Always consistent with his anti-authoritarian projectuality, he has maintained several antagonistic initiatives for which, even though he has been in prison for more than 10 years, the Italian fascist state does not forgive him.

We were arrested 2 comrades, my brother/comrade and I.

On that day, the 22nd, the official press published our faces like a trophy, making a spectacle of us. And as usual, condemning in advance all those who decide to rebel against this world of control and punishment.
