Hamburg, Germany: Words in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito by an anarchist prisoner

Posted on 2023/02/16 - 2023/02/16 by darknights

Words in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito by an anarchist prisoner from Hamburg

As many imprisoned comrades worldwide before me, I want to send words in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito from the prison Billwerder in Hamburg, Germany.

The italian state wants to bury an inconvenient anarchist alive in it’s torture-isolation-prison.-system „41bis“. Alfredo is fighting with a hunger-strike till the end against his situation and against 41bis in total.

This is a continuation of a life full of struggle. Alfredos way was also present here in the north. The attack against nuclear-boss Adinolfi, the courtcase in Genoa and Alfredo’s and Nicola’s dignified stand in it and also the written contributions over the years of imprisonment found their way to us.

Worldwide but specifically strong in Italy, anarchists showed over the last months, that we stand with Alfredo. That we will not let him die quiet in the hands of the state. Alfredos dignified struggle created a moment more complex than the fight of a simple human for it’s life. Together with Alfredo we scream against a numb society that a free life can not exist under this condition!

That we will never accept a world of prisons, neither 41 bis, nor reformist institutions. That we will always fight states, borders and all domination and authority. And in this, often tragic way, for us as anarchists lies a beauty with all the fear, joy, anger, love…we will meet and feel. A beatuy in which we will recognize each other no matter where we will end up.

Shoulder to shoulder with Alfredo!
A revolutionary embrace from the heart to the comrades in the prison cells, on the run, on the streets and in the nights.

Foligno, Italy: You bet we’ll remember, and how! About the 41 bis for Alfredo Cospito: Those who are responsible

Foligno: You bet we’ll remember, and how! About the 41 bis for Alfredo Cospito: Those who are responsible

YOU BET WE’LL REMEMBER, AND HOW!
ABOUT THE 41 BIS FOR ALFREDO COSPITO: THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE

In recent days, a media campaign of mystification and lies has been going on around the hunger strike that Alfredo Cospito is carrying on to the last breath against life imprisonment without appeal and 41 bis. We’ve heard it all. The prime minister Giorgia Meloni, with her usual victimhood, went so far as to suspect conspiracies about the coincidence of the start of the hunger strike with the launching of her government.
Another lie circulating is the one about a phantom alliance between anarchists and the mafia, deduced from wiretaps between Alfredo and the only three people he is allowed to see in the prison yard. The State, which decided to lock an anarchist up in 41 bis for the first time, is now instrumentalising the fact that that anarchist speaks to the only human beings he can meet. Sociability groupings which, by the way, are decided centrally by the ministry in Rome! In truth, it was with the creation of the DNAA (Direzione Nazionale Antimafia e Antiterrorismo) that the State wanted to set up a war machine against revolutionary insurgency, a machine that had as its weapons the exceptional tools that hitherto only applied to the anti-mafia. We are witnessing a complete reversal of the facts: those who merged completely different realities into the bureaucracies of the judicial and penitentiary administration are now crying ‘bonding’.

Similarly, we are aghast when we hear again the president of the council Giorgia Meloni assert that she will not negotiate with anarchists. And not just because everyone in Italy knows that the State only negotiates with the mafia. Statements like these denote that those in government have completely lost touch with reality. It is the anarchists who, since time immemorial, have never wanted to deal with institutions.

Anarchists who, as is well known, have no leaders, no ambassadors, no recognised interlocutors. So they have nothing at all to negotiate about. Anarchist conflictuality does not arise from the instigation of a jailed ‘leader’ and is not moderated in exchange for the survival of a comrade held hostage by the executioners of repression. Our conflict arises from visceral class hatred fuelled every day, not by political sophistry, but by exploitation, blackmail, misery, and the injustices of this society. The 41 bis was intended to be a warning to anarchists, it was not! Continue reading “Foligno, Italy: You bet we’ll remember, and how!

Milan, Italy: Demonstration alongside Alfredo Cospito on 115th day of hunger strike against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment

Posted on 2023/02/15 - 2023/02/15 by darknights

Demonstration alongside Alfredo Cospito on 115th day of hunger strike against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment (Milan, Feb. 11, 2023)

Last night [Saturday, Feb. 11] demonstration in Milan alongside Alfredo Cospito against 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment.

The demonstration started from Piazza XXIV Maggio attempting to reach Porta Romana, just before the end of the demonstration the rapid response units at the head of the procession deployed preventing them from continuing. The participants managed not to get blocked in the street and, defending themselves with what the street furniture offered, managed several times not to get closed by the increasingly agitated and fierce cops.

By the end of the day there were about ten detentions, now all released, a few dented cops, some Eni-Enjoy cars [vehicles of Eni’s car sharing service] damaged and shattered windows of real estate agencies, supermarkets and banks.

During the demonstration Alfredo Cospito was being transferred to San Paolo Hospital in Milan.

This morning, however, news broke that the Cassation Prosecutor’s Office in its indictment filed ahead of the hearing set for next February 24 asked to annul the decision of the Supervisory Court that had confirmed 41 bis for Alfredo.

Stay tuned for upcoming events!

Chile: Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners Begin Fast in Solidarity With Alfredo Cospito, 104 Days on Hunger Strike January 31, 2023

For Alfredo Cospito:

A loud war cry!!!
A call for internationalist solidarity!
A clear call to action!!!

In the course of the mobilizations in solidarity with the hunger strike of Italian anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, which has been going on for 104 days, today, January 31, anarchist and subversive prisoners held in the La Gonzalina-Rancagua Prison are beginning a solidarity fast. This is a minimal gesture of complicity in the face of such a transcendental and decisive struggle that the comrade is carrying out to end the isolation the Italian State has subjected him to and against his recent life sentence.

The situation is extremely urgent and there is no room for moments of waiting and reflection that only strengthen apathy and inaction.

Nor is it the time to be passive spectators while the Italian State lets Alfredo die, in one of the clearest demonstrations of authoritarian brutality.

Are we going to wait for our comrade to die before deciding to act?

Solidarity Poster from Indonesia for Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike. Long live the subversive and anarchist prisoners who are on a hunger strike! Indifference and passivity will never be our allies; solidarity will be.

Berlin, Germany: Fire in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito – Strabag excavator set on fire!

Posted on 2023/02/14 by darknights

As a sign of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and his hunger strike against the 41bis regime, we set fire to a Strabag excavator Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg in the night between 9.2 and 10.2.

Against the society that needs prisons, from whose construction Strabag profits. Against the society which believes in a green capitalism, for which Strabag builds power plants worldwide!

It is to be welcomed that there is an international resonance, which was initiated by the mobilization of the innumerable comrades in Italy. It warms our hearts to see how the solidarity with the anarchist prisoners becomes a weapon that seeks and finds its targets worldwide. Our analyses of this society inevitably lead us to attack and overthrow it. But it is not only dry analyses that move us, we feel a deep disgust for this world with all its constraints. We share the proposals and debates aimed at an international discourse. It takes an informal gathering of enemies of the state to get and stay in motion. Internationalism can thus enable the exchange of experiences, critiques, and perspectives, and promote aggressiveness. We can literally smell the smoke that the wind from the south brings and hear the echo of the comrades shouting: “Alfredo out of the 41bis!

However, it is questionable whether Alfredo will get out of the 41bis regime in the foreseeable future and whether he will be aware of all that is happening “outside”. It is also questionable whether he will survive this showdown with authority. It seems that the die is already cast. The Italian government has said several times that it will not back down. Surely there is much more at stake for them than “just” having a dead anarchist on their conscience.

However, fighting from an anarchist perspective means much more to us than saving a single life in this acute situation. Probably Alfredo has already made his decision long ago, as it is put up for debate in the text “Anytime – Some reflections on the last months of mobilization in Italy”. However, we can take the uncompromising nature of his actions as inspiration to intensify the subversion and ensure that the echo of his struggle, now clearly heard beyond Italy’s borders, will not be silenced anytime soon. With passion and joy, and armed with our dreams, against all that prevents us from realizing them; state, government, authority, justice, capitalism and the power structure that sustains it all.

Freedom comes through fighting movement – For more state decomposition!
Solidarity with Alfredo, Juan, Anna, Ivan, Dayid, Tonio and all other rebels in the jails.
Greetings to the anarchist from the Parkbank trial, who is imprisoned again in Hamburg
In memory of Tortuguita, who was shot by cops on January 18 during a raid on the StopCopCity occupation (Atlanta, USA). Rest in Power!

Long live anarchy!
