Chile: Internationalist Call for Solidarity Action with Marcelo Villarroel

Posted on 2023/03/09 by darknights

Internationalist Call for Solidarity Action with Marcelo Villarroel 15 years after his detention and in the context of the permanent campaign for his release to the streets!

On March 15 and in the context of the admirable conviction of comrade Alfredo Cóspito’s struggle in Italian prisons, the preparation of the trial of comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, the anti-authoritarian subversive prisoner Marcelo Villarroel completes 15 years of imprisonment after being arrested in Argentina while fleeing from Chile in clandestinity for the case known as “Security”.

The antagonistic actions to power that the comrade chose as a way of life from a very young age made him a target of the powerful and their media who created a brutal and crude spectacle of persecution after the expropriation of that bank in the center of Santiago/ Chile and the consequent death of cop Moyano in October 2007.

The state kidnapping of Marcelo, which in concrete terms is a life imprisonment is based on the most rotten filth of the dictatorial legacies of Pinochet’s Military Justice even in 2023. Something that seems unthinkable 50 years after the military coup and the beginning of the civil-military dictatorship.

However, this parallel justice, which no one seems to see, hear or mention, is still intolerably in force and this was demonstrated on February 27th at the sentence review hearing held at the 7⁰ Jury of the 7⁰ Guarantee Court in Santiago, in which it was confirmed that Marcelo should be in prison until 2036.

Specifically, Marcelo could have applied for parole in December 2019, but with the modification of DL 321 in January 2019, it applies retroactively to him.

Having an anti-authoritarian comrade in captivity for years under sentences issued by military rulings only demonstrates the shameless trickery of an oligarchy that seeks to exterminate by means of prison any obstacle that interrupts the expansion of its domination.

15 years after Marcelo’s kidnapping, we call on all those who are like-minded, compañeros, individuals, spaces and collectives that build autonomous and anarchic subversive antagonism from the perspective of internationalism to a week of action and agitation in solidarity with the comrade from Monday the 13th to Monday the 20th of March for the Annulment of the of the Sentences of the Military Justice of Pinochet and for his immediate release to the street.

To use all the imagination from the insurrectionary complicity.

For the annulment of the sentences of the military justice now!

For the end of the prison society!

Subversive, anarchist, anti-speciesist and Mapuche prisoners out of the prisons now!

As long as there is misery there will be rebellion!!!

Oaxaca, Mexico: Claim of explosive attack against Banco Bienestar – Anarchic Informality/F.A.I.

Posted on 2023/03/09 by darknights

We claim the detonation of a homemade explosive device placed at an ATM of the Banco Bienestar located on the outskirts of the city of Oaxaca, a territory dominated by the Mexican state.

In the early morning of 14/02/23. We ignited the explosive. In the distance we heard the bang and the alarms of the bank. We calculated a more powerful impact that would cause greater damage to the ATM, and break for a moment with the tedium of social peace. This time the action was silenced by the henchmen of order and the press. We will sharpen the knife better for the next one. This seditious gesture is a combative salute to Alfredo Cospito and his irreducible war against prison and the 41 B.I.S. isolation regime.

It is clear to us that insurrectional solidarity needs will, courage and gunpowder.
We must intensify the conflict by pushing forward the attack!
For the extension of the combat and the seditious solidarity!
DOWN WITH THE 41 B.I.S. ISOLATION REGIME!!!
For the practice of anarchic vandalism against the established order!

London, UK: Vandalism at the Italian Cultural Center in London in Solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/03/01 by darknights

Vandalism at the Italian Cultural Center in London

It appears that on 24th February, something unfortunate happened to the Italian Cultural Institute in London.

At this sophisticated outpost of the Italian state, guests are invited to enjoy a current series of lectures, from handpicked academic experts, on the great social and political issues of the day, with the ambassador in attendance. The previous week, the audience was treated to a discussion of the energy transition, and next week the theme was to be Justice.

All this makes it so regretable that the building’s romanesque facade, with elegant white columns and heavy wooden door, seems to have been soaked in paint by some vandal[s] clearly without the capacity to appreciate such things.

Maybe it was some disbeliever[s] in capitalism’s ‘sustainable’ future? Unhelpful people looking to provoke, always making trouble for sensible plans.

It would be a particular shame if the act casts a shadow on next week’s lecture. A gathering of cultured and cosmopolitan persons to hear about such a delicate subject as Justice surely calls for a glass of Italian wine and a canape consumed in peaceful contemplation.

Could it be that the irresponsible[s] wanted to pour scorn on the Italian State for its massacres in the prisons during the 2020 lockdown? Or for its dependable and bloody role in securing the border of europe against the pressure of irregular migration?

But another troubling interpretation remains. After all, Alfredo Cospito, whose struggle by hunger strike against the notorious isolation regime of 41bis is in its last critical stages, had yet another appeal rejected later that same day, by the wise members of the Italian judiciary.

This struggle, having stirred a whirlwind of action sweeping beyond the walls of the prison, even accross national boundaries, is becoming so severe that it is SUPPOSED to have increased the security around diplomatic buildings of the Italian State internationally for some time now.

Whatever the truth, we can be sure that the impulses behind such an act can only contribute to the general atmosphere of indignation and lack of dialogue with power that Alfredo Cospito’s struggle, against the terms of life and death set by authority, seems to have enflamed everywhere.

Leipzig, Germany: Spontaneous demonstration, damage and barricades in the eastern part of the city

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

We learn from the German media that on the evening of Saturday, Feb. 18, in Leipzig’s Neustadt-Neuschönefeld district, some solidarians organized and carried out a spontaneous demonstration during which about ten cars were damaged, including a car belonging to a construction company and a police vehicle. The windows of an insurance agency, advertising panels and a barricade was erected and set on fire with material taken from a construction site were attacked. A riot police vehicle, which was overtaking the scene, failed to avoid the four-pronged nails scattered on the ground by comrades and was also damaged. The banner at the head of the procession read, “VENDETTA PER ALFREDO. BOMB COPS.”

Chile: Text from San Miguel prison in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

Every day that Alfredo Cospito continues his hunger strike to stop the torturous regime of 41bis, is another day in which he shows us how strong his convictions are and how far he is willing to take his coherence. Every day that Alfredo spends on hunger strike, more and more indomitable people around the world take action in solidarity with him. As anti-authoritarians kidnapped by the Chilean State, with these letters we intend to make a small gesture of solidarity with him and a call for solidarity actions to continue to multiply. Day by day we become aware of attacks, radio broadcasts, meetings, etc. that in their essence seek to pressure and/or publicize Alfredo’s situation, it is crucial for him that we correspond to his struggle with the same integrity that he embraces and faces it.

Our hands and our hearts are concerned about the current repressive scenario that Alfredo is living, especially knowing that every day that passes is more and more critical for him. We are filled with rage, hatred and frustration to know that these words will not be read by our comrade, but we are comforted to know that perhaps these letters will be transformed into action in other restless hands. Actions absolutely necessary before the hearing that the comrade will have to face on February 24, where his permanence or not in the 41bis regime will be decided. Alfredo will never be alone. Despite the miles and walls that separate us, our hearts are intertwined in the complicity of action and the idea.
Let the night light up in solidarity with Alfredo!
An end to 41 bis and to all exceptional regimes of isolation!

Italy: Alfredo Cospito was transferred again to the Opera prison in Milan

Posted on 2023/03/01 by darknights

Alfredo Cospito was transferred again to the Opera prison in Milan (Feb. 27, 2022)

We learn that today, Feb. 27, anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, who has been on hunger strike for 131 days, was transferred from the prison medical ward located in San Paolo Hospital to the Intensive Care Service (SAI) inside Opera Prison in Milan, where he was already before being transferred to San Paolo on Feb. 11.

The February 24 hearing in the Court of Cassation, which upheld the order of detention under 41 bis, definitively ratified the state’s will to annihilate the comrade, which had already been defined in December with the outcome of the hearing in the Rome surveillance court. This latest transfer from San Paolo to Opera is perfectly in line with that will of annihilation. They intend to destroy a comrade and with him they believe they are giving a warning to the revolutionary struggle in this country. The intent, however, is in vain: the need to fight against the state and capital is ineradicable, the desire to overthrow this authoritarian social reality is inextinguishable.

DEATH TO THE STATE, ALWAYS FOR ANARCHY

Pisa, Italy: Claim of the placement of an explosive device against the courthouse by the Revolutionary Solidarity Group – Home Deliveries / FAI-FRI

Posted on 2023/02/26 by darknights

Claim of the placement of an explosive device against the courthouse by the Revolutionary Solidarity Group – Home Deliveries / FAI-FRI (Pisa, Feb. 21, 2023)

EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AGAINST THE COURT OF PISA

1 paper bomb filled with black powder + gas cylinder + incendiary bottle with timed trigger

The state, including the democratic state, is the greatest danger to the life and liberty of all living beings. It allows capitalism to flourish by ensuring the stability it needs through its punitive and repressive system. Everything and everyone must submit to its rules for the defense of mastery. Rules that serve to keep society pacified. The ability to conflate with this system of oppression and exploitation is stemmed through prevention, by keeping an eye on and placing in an asphyxiating system of social reintegration anyone who does not comply, and through the courts when thought becomes action, whether it is refusal of work and illegalism or direct action and subversion. Of individuals who choose to stay out of the social peace, there have always been some, so the criminal justice system takes on great importance for the maintenance of the state.

In every court every day hundreds of exploited people are sentenced. At blows of sentences men and women are buried in jails and their relationships of friendship and love mutilated. By blows of explosives structures will be struck and men of power maimed.

For every death at sea, in jail, of labor, in CPRs, not one but 100 bombs to the bosses.

Your cameras and guards sifting the city will never be enough to stop the action from penetrating your buildings.

On the night of Feb. 21, we placed an explosive device in the back door of the Pisa courthouse. We do not know if the deflagration occurred, but we would like to emphasize that this action takes on no small importance: we proved that it is possible to get close to the palaces of power and strike.

To counterterrorism: we know that you are preparing countless arrests for all these months of mobilization. Damn freeloaders, know that the blows of us oppressed will soon reach your hands.

The decisions made by Roberto Sparagna, by former Justice Minister Marta Cartabia, by the Rome Supervisory Court, up to those made by the current Justice Minister Nordio, will have historic importance for the quality of revolutionary violence.

INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF ATTACK ON THE ITALIAN STATE/CAPITAL EN/ES/IT/POR/FR

Posted on 2023/02/25 by darknights

(ENGLISH):

INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF ATTACK ON THE ITALIAN STATE/CAPITAL

On February 24, 2023, the Italian “justice” system rejected the appeal filed by Alfredo Cospito’s lawyers against 41bis. The appeal action requested his transfer out of the regime of extreme and severe isolation for which our comrade has been enduring a hunger strike for more than 4 months.

The State has, nonetheless, maintained his position: Alfredo has to continue under the 41bis prison regime.

This decision confirms the fears we have been having for a long time: our comrade is going to die and the State is his executioner.

The structures and capitalist interests of the Italian State spread their tentacles around the planet. It is relevant to remind everyone that those who manage and uphold the status quo are people clothed in flesh and bones with names and addresses.

Politicians, judges and magistrates, cops and entrepreneurs, as well as all those who defend and contribute to the perpetuity of the current state of things are and will always be declared enemies of ours.

Mr. Adinolfi’s limbs know it well. They experience the terror of death too.

This is a call to leave aside oppressive political platforms and take a step further towards violent and destructive actions. Our line is only one, we have to shape and give life to the strongest of international solidarity campaigns capable of destroying and terrorizing Alfredo’s executioners to avenge his imminent death, irrespective of whether actions be directed against people or property.

We are fully aware that coming to terms with this reality is burdensome, but these are the heartbreaking passions that can trigger our rage and push us towards the completion of our anarchic vengeance.

Alfredo’s struggle is the war of all those who fight against prisons. Solidarity with his hunger strike is a call for action and complicity.

For all the above, we send out this call for a campaign of straightforward and destructive attack on the Italian State as we are utterly convinced that the struggle against 41bis does not end in the courtrooms of Power. The last word has not been uttered yet.

“(…) I am soon going to die. My hope is that somebody after me will pursue the fight against special prison regimes”, said our comrade Alfredo when he was informed he would continue under 41bis.

We shall be those who carry forward his legacy of fight and negation of the existent!

THE KING IS NAKED
MASTERS MAY AND MUST BLEED

London, Two posters for Alfredo Cospito that have appeared in some streets of London.

we receive and spread:

FREEDOM IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
ALFREDO COSPITO OUT OF 41 BIS
Alfredo Cospito has made the choice of hungerstrike to the end against the Italian prison regime 41 bis, a concrete grave, where the law has tried to bury him to prevent the spreading of his ideas of freedom and the need to attack its enemies.
Power needs to model, predict and measure, always trying to avoid the worst for itself. But when people stop accepting blackmail, stop listening to the forecasts, and then even the warnings, and start to act – then things can become unpredictable.
With Alfredo, the Italian State has encountered something it can’t factor into its calculations – it is trying to calculate a struggle without measure.
Alfredo Cospito won’t accept barter for his freedom. His uncompromising demand pours out of the dungeon and into the streets, refueling the social tempest beyond walls and borders.
The cost of losing the veneer of control is enough to bankrupt any authority.
But Freedom is non-negotiable and without limit.

SO AS TO CONTINUE TO LIVE PROUDLY AN ANARCHIST IN ITALY HAS DECIDED TO DIE PROUDLY
using his body as a weapon to attack the judicial conspiracy to distort his person, his struggle and the very essence of anarchism in order to bury him alive under the anti-mafia law 41bis.
with Alfredo Cospito
end 41bis now!
“There are two types of solidarity. A passive one that all too often serves only to wash away conscience for someone’s own inactivity and that does not bridge the gaps between words and deeds.
And then the active, concrete, real solidarity that some call revolutionary, created in silence and anonymity, where only destructive actions speak even through the words that follow. Needless to say which one I prefer.

In final analysis, the best solidarity that i could receive is to see the planning of this new anarchy, in all of its forms, continue to move forward, insensible to the strokes of repression. I will not deny it, in
every action that someone salutes us as anarchist prisoners, both in Italy and the rest of the world, my heart fills with joy.

This is my life today. The war continues, never give up, never give in.” Alfredo Cospito 2014.

FIRE TO THE PRISONS!
