Foligno, Italy: Windows of temporary employment agency Umana smashed in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike

Posted on 2022/12/20 by darknights

Hammering against temporary employment agency in Foligno

On a mid-December night, the windows of the UMANA temporary employment agency in Foligno were smashed with hammers. Action in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike against 41 bis prison regime and life imprisonment without possibility of parole.

We chose a temporary agency because we are disgusted by administrators of human flesh, whether they are biological appendages attached to a bunch of keys, like those who torture our comrade, or administrators of labour for the hungry jaws of capitalism.

Grand Est, France: Attack on nuclear infrastructure in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/20 - 2022/12/20 by darknights

In May of this year, the anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito was transferred to the 41bis isolation regime. The torture method of sensory deprivation aims to break his rebellious spirit and silence him. In order to obtain the removal of his isolation conditions, our comrade started an unlimited hunger strike on October 20. On December 1st – on the 42nd day of the hunger strike – a review of the conditions of detention decided to continue the torture procedure. If the Italian fascist state persists in its practice of isolation, Alfredo may not see the end of this year. But his death will not be a suicide: it will be the murder under torture of a vengeful political justice.

Let’s prevent this murder
The most passionate form of revolutionary solidarity is to continue the struggles for which our compasses are behind bars. It was in this spirit that on December 11, during a night-time sabotage action, we went to a pylon of the Fessenheim-Paris EHV line and unscrewed the bolts. The pylon is still standing, but its statics are clearly compromised. Let our revolutionary anger act in alliance with nature, and let a winter storm do the rest!

Alfredo has always been able to link the question of social revolution with that of ecology and, through his words and deeds, connect the ecocidal plundering of our planet with the struggle against the dominant powers, exploitation and oppression. In his statement on the shooting in the knee of the Italian nuclear industry leader Roberto Adinolfi (ansaldo nucleare) and later in various statements of the procè in the Scripta Manent case, he described the need to anchor a revolutionary perspective in the anti-nuclear movement. In a valuable contribution to the debate, he also spoke in 2018 about the struggle against the CIGÉO project for the burial of nuclear waste in the French village of Bure in the Meuse. Referring to the idea of diversity of tactics practiced there, he suggests an intensification of the forms of struggle chosen. This is one of the contributions that were later used to justify the hardening of his detention conditions.

Italy: The surveillance court of Rome rejected the appeal against the 41 bis measure for anarchist Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/20 by darknights

December 19, 2022, 61 days after the start of the hunger strike to the bitter end against 41 bis prison regime and life imprisonment without possibility of parole by anarchist Alfredo Cospito.

The decision concerning the appeal against the 41 bis detention order for anarchist Alfredo Cospito has just been announced: the surveillance court of Rome rejected it. The comrade will remain in 41 bis. This is not the moment of despondency, it is the moment of anger. You will pay dearly for it. Today as yesterday: death to the State, to the capital, to all authority.

Chile: Text from anti-speciesist comrades imprisoned for the Susaron case in memory of Sebastian Oversluij

Posted on 2022/12/20 - 2022/12/20 by darknights

9 years later, more present than ever! From this time capsule called prison, we remember that afternoon of December 11, when we learned that an animal of our race dared to bite with the joy of very few. And that in his daring the armed tamer who guarded that symbolic institution of power, responded as what he is.
An enemy to the death. Like any uniformed man.
We do not victimize you, savage warrior, wherever your serene gaze may be. We smile knowing the pleasure that shook your heart at the door of that beautiful confrontation with the suffocating reality, with your submachine gun as one more part of your determined and agitated being.

We celebrate your impetus and embrace your example of life. Not as a metaphor or anecdote. But as a daily path and choice.
You are not and were not a hero, you would hate to have seen yourself that way.
But you are a reference of how to counteract the inactive death, of the idea of the duel to death with the existent and its false critics. That many use as a slogan and few embrace until they burn.
Nine years later, and more present than ever.
Sebastian Oversluij. Pelao Angry.
Anarcho nihilist vegan straight. Dead at war with this shitty reality.

Atlanta, USA: Banner Drop In Solidarity With 5 Arrested Forest Defenders Charged With Domestic Terrorism

Posted on 2022/12/19 - 2022/12/19 by darknights

5 people have been arrested and charged with Domestic Terrorism for their alleged connection to Defend The Atlanta Forest movement in USA. These arrests were notoriously brutal, included the deployment of chemical weapons repeatedly, and placed unfounded charges against them in an effort to torture, terrorize, and brutalize.

We want every prison to burn, every prisoner to be free, and the violence of the state to be destroyed. We must stand in unflinching solidarity with all those arrested, and be committed to absolute resistance to any current or future state investigation, no matter what it requires of us. Anything less is unconscionable.

Italy: Anna Beniamino interrupts hunger strike

Posted on 2022/12/19 - 2022/12/19 by darknights

We learn by phone call that in the evening of today, Wednesday, December 14, Anna interrupts the hunger strike she started 38 days ago at the side of Alfredo, who is imprisoned in 41 bis prison regime.

At the end of the strike Anna has lost 13 kilos, with a blood pressure of 50 at the minimum, 80 at the maximum. Some values of her liver profile exceed the parameters considered acceptable from a health point of view. In the last period, she has been offered hospitalisation several times by the prison, which she has always refused.

The lives of our comrades in prison are at stake in this struggle. It is up to all of us anarchists and revolutionaries to ensure that it is safeguarded. This applies all the more to Alfredo, now on his 56th day of hunger strike and whose condition is becoming increasingly critical awaiting the decision of the Surveillance Court of Rome [on December 1st, a hearing was held at the Rome Surveillance Court on the appeal against Alfredo Cospito’s 41 bis detention measure, the outcome of which has not yet been announced by the court].

Carasco, Italy: Responsibility claim for the arson attack against MARR vehicles and warehouse in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco, Toby Shone, Giannis Michailidis and the 11 turkish revolutionaries on hunger strike

Responsibility claim for the arson attack against MARR vehicles and warehouse in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco, Toby Shone, Giannis Michailidis and the 11 turkish revolutionaries on hunger strike (Carasco, Italy, November 26, 2022)

Chiavari: Fire at Marr vehicles and warehouse

Dinner is served, tonight flambé.

On Saturday, November 26, a slightly overcooked dinner was served. We set fire to a dozen vehicles, the warehouse and the ventilation system of Marr in Carasco [near Chiavari, in Liguria], a company that profits from the distribution of food in state prisons. That night it was its managers who swallowed a bitter pill. With this gesture we want to send all our solidarity to Alfredo currently on hunger strike to the bitter end because of his detention under the 41 bis regime.
Probably, given their very nature as servants, their inability to act without being commanded by a superior, it is impossible for guards and men of state to understand, but against us 41 bis will have no effect. We don’t need puppeteers from within directing our actions, and if they think that by burying our comrade alive they can stop our tensions, they are sadly mistaken. It will only unleash more anger and solidarity.
We will not stop until Alfredo is out of 41 bis.

Solidarity with Anna, Juan, Ivan and Toby, fighting from inside with him, solidarity with Giannis Michailidis and the 11 Turkish comrades detained by the Greek state who are also on hunger strike to the bitter end.

We stand by the comrades affected by Diamante operation.

Long live Anarchy

La Paz, Bolivia: Claim of explosive device attack on Italian embassy

Down with the torture regime of 41 bis!

Because that popular saying that says ‘you are born an arsonist and die a firefighter’ is not so far-fetched. firemen’ is not so far-fetched».

Alfredo Cóspito

It drizzles relentlessly and around the city of La Paz the mountain range is covered with snow. Here, the rich live several hundred meters below, in a warm and green valley, where they have surveillance and private guards at every corner. We descend from the icy hills to interrupt the violent peace of the bosses with the loud and damaging rumble of a homemade bomb. Something becomes evident and concrete: the managers of toxicity, misery and charity are not untouchable. No peace for us, no peace for them!

Lecce, Italy: Sabotage of electric car charging stations in solidarity with anarchists Alfredo Cospito, Anna Beniamino and Juan Sorroche

Posted on 2022/12/19 by darknights

We learn from the media that at least seven electric vehicle chargers, located in various places in Lecce, have been sabotaged and rendered unusable by foam. On some of the columns were found the inscription “For Alfredo, Anna, Juan,” in reference to the imprisoned anarchists on hunger strike against the 41 bis prison regime and the hostile life sentence (Alfredo Cospito, imprisoned under 41 bis in Bancali Prison in Sassari, has been on hunger strike to the bitter end since Oct. 20, Anna Beniamino has been on hunger strike in solidarity since Nov. 7, while Juan Sorroche has been on strike for a month, from Oct. 25 to Nov. 24). According to local media reports, the sabotage took place “starting from at least last Friday [Dec. 2].”
