THE ITALIAN STATE SENTENCED JUAN TO 28 YEARS IN PRISON.
On July 9th, our comrade Juan was sentenced to 28 years in prison, with another three years of supervised release, on charges of an explosive attack with terrorist intent on a Lega Nord headquarters, in Treviso (Italy).
A few days earlier, the Court had reclassified an attack on a Carabinieri barracks in Fossano (Italy) as a ‚political massacre‘ (a crime punishable by life imprisonment) for which anarchist comrades Anna and Alfredo had been convicted on appeal. In the meantime, Alfredo was transferred to 41 bis, in Sassari, Sardinia (Italy): a prison regime of total isolation, a form of torture aimed at bending the prisoner to abjuration, repentance, dissociation, and the renunciation of his own identity and revolutionary path.
The disproportionate sentences (essentially for life) and the application of 41 bis constitute an unprecedented attack on the anarchist movement.
They represent the attempt of the Italian state to end the game with an area that has remained subversive and revolutionary, which decades of investigations and arrests have failed to break.
SOLIDARITY WITH JUAN, ANNA, ALFREDO
AGAINST THE TORTURE OF 41 BIS, FREEDOM FOR ALL
THE TERRORIST IS THE STATE
Knowing the suffering of our comrades and their punishments of which we cannot see the end, causes us pain and anger but only strengthens our convictions:
As always we will continue on the road of struggle, of permanent conflict, of direct action, but from today with one more reason.

DER ITALIENISCHE STAAT VERURTEILT JUAN ZU 28 JAHREN IM GEFÄNGNIS.
Am 9. Juli wurde unser Gefährte Juan wegen eines Sprengstoffanschlags auf ein „Nord Liga“-Hauptquartier in Treviso (Italien) mit einer „terroristischen Absicht“ zu 28 Jahren Gefängnis und einer anschließenden dreijährigen Bewährung, verurteilt.
Wenige Tage zuvor hatte das Kassationsgericht den Angriff auf eine Carabinieri-Kaserne in Fossano (Italien), für den die anarchistischen Gefährten Anna und Alfredo in der Berufung verurteilt worden waren, erneut als „politischer Massenmord“ (ein Verbrechen, das mit lebenslanger Haft bestraft wird) eingestuft. In der Zwischenzeit wurde Alfredo in das 41bis-Gefängnisregime verlegt, ein Regime der totalen Isolation, eine Form der Folter, das darauf abzielt, den Gefangenen zur Abschwörung, Reue, Distanzierung und zum Verzicht auf seine eigene Identität und seinen revolutionären Weg zu zwingen.
On September 12 at the Liceo de Aplicación and Manuel Barros Borgoño pamphlets and banners were thrown and barricades and confrontations were mounted against the presence of Carabineros (COP).
Sardinia (Italy) for having shot the CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare, designer and builder of nuclear power plants, for having claimed his action and for having greatly contributed, from prison, to the debate on our modes of action, the diversity of tactics, internationalism and the revolutionary perspective of the anti-nuclear movement.
the energy systems that feed the war machine. In other words, all the tearful speeches about the end of war are a real hypocrisy, as long as there are industrialists to produce it, politicians to declare it, scientists to innovate it, generals to manage it, in short, as long as the interests of those who collaborate with it from near and far flourish.

done so directly and that going there and keeping silent would avoid another unpleasant police intrusion, he went there. But it was a bad idea, because this summons was transformed into police custody for the events of September 2021 of violence on PDAP, contempt, rebellion, refusal to have his photo taken, to give his fingerprints and his DNA. That day, during a concert at the squat Le Marbré in Montreuil, the cops had arrested these same 3 people during a police charge [2]. This pending case from September 2021 (which can hardly justify a raid 10 months later…), was thus reactivated on the occasion of the raids of July 6, thanks to article 65 of the code of criminal procedure, which allows this kind of crap.
These words travelled by your side from a cell very far from yours. They carry with them, the identically guilty thoughts that crush borders and walls. They carry the same persistence and impatience for the return to the paths of fire. Those thoughts don’t die daily on the iron bars and uninformed figures that separate us. They remain alive accompanying the same necessity for one more consensual plan that will surrender to the fire and gunpower the order and safety of this old world.
