The new appeal hearing of the Scripta Manent trial has been scheduled June 19,2023

Last Friday, May 12nd, the Constitutional Court concluded the drafting of the motivations with which it opened up the possibility of recognising some type of mitigating circumstances for Alfredo Cospito [on April 19th the comrade interrupted his hunger strike], and thus avoiding a life sentence for him.

As a result of this, immediately, this morning [May 15th], a new appeal hearing was set at the court of Turin during which the judges will recalculate the sentences to be inflicted on Anna Beniamino and Alfredo [the sentences for all the other comrades, following the cassation sentence of July 6th, are already definitive]. The hearing is set for next June 19th. We recall that before the referral to the Constitutional Court, the prosecution had asked to sentence Alfredo to life imprisonment without possibility of parole and Anna to 27 years.

Always in solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists
Always at the side of those who fight
