Rome, Italy: Interruption of a performance at Teatro Argentina in solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists on hunger strike against 41bis (Rome 26th November 2022)

Interruption of a performance at Teatro Argentina in solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists on hunger strike against 41bis (Rome 26th November 2022)

Today, 26th November 2022, the play ‘Hamlet’ was interrupted at Teatro Argentina in Rome. In spite of the fact that the theatre workers turned into a real security line-up to protect the bosses’ interests, we determinedly managed to get on stage and unfurl a banner that read “Something is rotten in Italy: NO to 41 bis”, throw leaflets and read part of the communique which we are reproducing in full here below:

We are here because Alfredo Cospito is under 41 bis. 41 bis is a prison regime specifically designed to annihilate the individual. We are here because Alfredo has been on hunger strike for over a month. We are not here to cry over an injustice suffered by our anarchist comrade, because it is not such. Just as it is not a legal aberration. It is the logical reaction of the democratic State to the attacks launched by Alfredo. First physical, with the wounding of the bureaucrat Adinolfi, at the time CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare, for which he has finished serving the time he was sentenced to.

Banner hung in solidarity with anarchist nihilist comrade Alfredo Cospito (Bristol,UK)

Bristol, Banner hung in solidarity with anarchist nihilist comrade Alfredo Cospito

On a typical bleak winter night on this grey prison island, during a typical poster sticking session, we hung a banner, in the Easton area, as a minimal sign of solidarity with our anarchist nihilist comrade Alfredo Cospito, who is on hunger strike since 20th October & is in conflict with the Italian fascist state after it put him in the torturous isolation prison system of 41 bis.

Our hearts are still with anarchist comrade Toby Shone who is also on partial hunger strike in solidarity with Alfredo.

Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito! From Barton to Bancali \\ Solidarité avec Alfredo Cospito! De Barton à Bancali /en/fr (Canada)

From the Barton Prisoner Solidarity Project. (Le français suit l’anglais)

We were out holding up a banner with a phone number on it to connect with prisoners at the Barton jail in Hamilton, Canada, the way we usually do, but we thought we would also take a moment to express our solidarity with anarchist prisoners in struggle.

Alfredo Cospito has been on hunger strike in Italy’s Bancali prison since October 20th to demand that he be moved out of segregation and have his phone calls, mail, and visits restored. He was placed in these conditions back in May essentially to punish him for staying involved in the anarchist struggle from inside.

Bologna, Italy: 1 December gathering at Court of Surveillance in solidarity with Alfredo and with all the revolutionary prisoners

Bologna, 1 December gathering at Court of Surveillance in solidarity with Alfredo and with all the revolutionary prisoners

On December 1st the hearing on the appeal against the application of the 41bis regime against anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito will take place in the court of surveillance in Rome. 7 months after his transfer to Bancali in the province of Sassari [Sardinia]. 42 days after the commencement of his indefinite hunger strike against 41 bis and life sentence without appeal.

Every day in these courtrooms, men in togas decide on the freedom of others, on the life and death of thousands of people who, by choice or by necessity, have escaped the laws of a State that daily exploits, starves, poisons.

In solidarity with all those who have experienced and are experiencing the farce of of this democratic State.

In solidarity with Alfredo and all the revolutionary prisoners.

At the side of Anna, Juan and Ivan all united in hunger strike.

ALFREDO FREE! EVERYBODY FREE! 41 BIS IS TORTURE!

Stop now the isolation of anarchonihilist Alfredo Cospito (Greece)

“Go on, comrades:

there is a whole world to be demolished!”

Alfredo Cospito – Nicola Gai

Alfredo Cospito has been in prison in Italy since 14 September 2012.He has taken responsibility together with Nikola Gai and has been sentenced for the shooting in the knees of the director of Ansaldo Nucleare and subsidiary of Finmeccanica, Roberto Adinolfi , an action carried out by the “Olga Cell – FAI/IRF in May 2012.In 2016 being already in prison he was accused of bomb attacks regarding the Scripta Manent operation. In 2020 he was finally accused of 2 bombs sent to the carabinieri training schools in Fossano, by the FAI/Anonymous Chaotic Rebellion.In November 2021 he was accused of incitement in the framework of the “Sibilla” operation, a case for which he was acquitted in December 2021.On 5 May 2022, after months of strict censorship of his correspondence, Alfredo was finally transferred from the Maximum Security Prison to the extreme isolation regime (41BIS), where he began a hunger strike on 20 October.

What is 41BIS isolation.

Talking about 41bis isolation is in fact talking about a slow and torturous murder. The circumstances are hardly comprehensible to the human mind since this law is the ultimate legal perversion. The prisoner is isolated 23 hours a day locked in a cell with the right to go outside for 1 hour. He is entitled to 10 minutes of supervised telephone communication per month with relatives only and 1 hour of supervised closed visitation per month,…In essence, 41bis means complete sensory isolation.

Call for a gathering in solidarity with the anarchist revolutionary hunger striker Alfredo Cospito, at the Italian embassy(Athens,Greece)

Call for a gathering in solidarity with the anarchist revolutionary hunger striker Alfredo Cospito, at the Italian embassy.

Until the demolition of every prison. For the anarchy in action.

Because for those who love life, to react when life and death are at stake is an act of duty. Anna Beniamino Alfredo Cospito, an anarchist prisoner of the “Scripta Manent” case -for the double attack on the carabinieri school in Fossano, signed by the FAI-RAT (Informal Anarchist Federation –Anonymous Chaotic Rebellion)- has been on hunger strike against the 41-bis regime since October 20th in Bancali prison, Sassari, Sardinia. Already on 5th May, after ten years of imprisonment, the state has chosen to reinforce the imprisonment of the comrade (who until then had made a significant contribution to the anarchist discourse with letters, articles and interventions) through the regime of article 41-bis (carcere duro), a law that, in essence, upgrades the imprisonment to a special solitary confinement even on an intellectual and sensory level. It is a suffocating condition that almost eliminates all communication and contact with the outside world, as a torture of psychosomatic extermination of the political prisoners, with the aim of forcing them into political “repentance”.
