JUAN SORROCHE FERNANDEZ FROM TERNI PRISON, HIGH SECURITY SECTION (AS2) ON HUNGER STRIKE FROM 25/10/2022 FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD – IN
SOLIDARITY
1ST, I DEMAND: THE DOWNGRADING FROM 41BIS OF THE ANARCHIST ALFREDO COSPITO.
– Last May 5th, Alfredo Cospito was placed under the 41bis regime and later transferred to Bancali Prison (Sassari). This was done to
physically prevent him from communicating and contributing to the debate among anarchists, after having already been imprisoned for 10 years in AS2 and subjected several times to correspondence censorship, investigations and trials concerning his writings. The state wants to silence and annihilate him with the 41bis regime, a prison within a prison, prison of annihilation, it is a scientifically studied torture technique, period: a technique based on deprivation to induce prisoners to deny their beliefs. The 41bis was not only designed for those accused
of association with the mafia, but this imprisonment regime was also and still is used for the purpose of repression of revolutionaries and subversives. For 17 years there have been some communist revolutionaries subjected to this regime.
2ND, -FOR AN ACTIVE SOLIDARITY:
– since I do not perceive myself as isolated, I want to give continuity of solidarity and internationalist struggle because what is happening to us isn’t stand-alone cases of state revenge against us specifically as social prisoners.
