Statement by anarchist Dayvid Ceccarelli in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike to the bitter end (Milan, Dec. 2, 2022)
The reason I chose to be in this courtroom and attend this hearing today is only one. I decided to be here and use this medium, the spontaneous statement, because it is one of the few that the condition of a prisoner leaves me. I want to use it to shout out my anger at a situation that you, the men and women of the court, should know about. I am referring to the detention condition of Comrade Alfredo Cospito since May 25 subjected to the 41 bis regime. I make a premise: the act that brought Alfredo to prison and claimed by him in the courtroom is the kneecapping of Ansaldo Nucleare CEO Roberto Adinolfi as a result of the atomic disaster and subsequent massacre at the Fukushima power plant. Therefore, in my opinion, this act is rightfully part of all those lights that have illuminated for more than a century the path of many exploited and rebellious people, including me. This is the anarchy of action and for this it can only find all my complicity and solidarity. Coming to more recent times, the fact that Alfredo despite his years of imprisonment has never bent and has always with enviable constancy carried out his struggles publicly has aggravated his detention regime to the maximum expression of psychological and sensory torture that our legal system provides for: the 41 bis. A regime he has opposed by deciding since October 20 to go on hunger strike to the extreme. I do not want to waste time here asking for humanity or listing the immense restrictions that this detention provides. As Machiavelli wrote any state, whether monarchical or republican, bases its opulence, wealth and strength on crime. For me a simple person trying to make a living as an anarchist, it is unthinkable to demand justice from the latter or any of its representatives, but any action aimed at increasing the strength of Alfredo’s struggle against 41 bis can bring him closer to the need closest to him and to us: to have him healthy and in touch with his affections.
For the downgrading of Alfredo
For the end of the physical and mental cages that make possible the exploitation of ‘man on man and man on nature
For anarchy

Public communiqué of anarchist, subversive anti-authoritarian, nihilist anti-speciesist and anarcho-feminist affinities in the face of the current situation of comrade Alfredo Cospito in the Italian fascist prisons almost 90 days after the beginning of his hunger strike.
As comrades who support the anarchic struggle against prisons, prison society and the system of domination, we express through these words our unwavering support for comrade Alfredo Cospito, kidnapped by the Italian state in the prison of Bancali, Sassari, Sardinia; a center of extermination in which the nefarious regime of 41 bis has been applied to him, with the aim of destroying him as a subject and preventing him from maintaining any kind of contact with all his comrades inside and outside of the prisons.
Alfredo has been on hunger strike for almost 90 days demanding the end of the application of the damned regime, which extorts our comrades through the torture of isolation to induce them to give information or die, only in these two situations 41 bis ceases to be applied.
As like-minded comrades we repudiate the torture applied to Alfredo and other comrades, we know that they fear us because of our unrestricted commitment to end the system of domination, a commitment that does not end with torture, nor with prison, nor with death itself, and for this reason today Alfredo is risking his life firmly and without hesitation.
From the territory occupied by the Chilean colonialist state and from different territories of Abya Yala we tell you that the struggle of our comrade is also ours and that the consequences of a bad end to it will be seen and felt everywhere.
