Fire to all jails
Free all
Presidium at the National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate, responsible for the application of 41 bis.
Friday, September 30, 10 a.m., Vicolo della Moretta, Rome.
To give context to the recent Cassation court of our anarchist comrades imprisoned and feeling the blows of repression that is Operation Scripta Manent in Italy that targetted the Italian Informal Anarchist Federation, we translate and repost the communiques of ‘Operation “FAI DE TE” (D.I.Y.) in which the bomb attack by ‘Rivolta Anonima Tremenda – Federazione Anarchica Informale’ against the Carabinieri School in Fossano features. This attack was described as ‘poiltical massacre’ by the scum of the Italian justice mafiosa and formed an integral part of the Scripta Manent trial.
OPERATION D.I.Y. (FAI DA TE)
1st phase: Bombing of the Carabinieri School in Fossano on June 2, 2006
2nd phase: Explosive packages on July 4, 6 and 7, 2006 to:
– Director of “Torino Cronaca” Giuseppe Fossati
– COEMA Edilità srl
– Mayor of Turin acting for the time being Sergio Chiamparino
Phase 3: Triple explosive attack in the Turin neighborhood of Crocetta on March 5, 2007
On the night of June 2, 2006, two devices hidden inside two garbage bins placed about ten meters from each other explode in front of the Carabinieri cadet school in Fossano. The two explosions are timed to occur 25 minutes apart. The second device contained numerous bolts. Carabinieri officers attracted by the first explosion thought it was an act of vandalism, so they cleared the debris from the road and moved away before the second explosion occurred
OPERATION DO-IT-YOURSELF
With Operation DO-IT-YOURSELF, the RAT was born: celebrating in our own way, with 2 large firecrackers filled with bolts, the birth of the infamous Italian republic and the equally infamous anniversary of the Carabinieri weapon.
RAT identifies itself under the banner of the Informal Anarchist Federation and calls on the other federated groups to join the DO IT YOURSELF campaign in solidarity with all arrested anarchists, in response to the wave of anti-anarchist repression that has hit the movement in recent months, forcing many anarchist newspapers to close their doors by putting entire editorial offices under lock and key.
We have no intention of waiting for hypothetical mass uprisings, of spending our lives dreaming of burning suburbs and hordes of exploited “barbarically” storming the neighborhoods of the rich. Free from the soporific influence of the know-it-all leaders of the anarchist movement, we have decided to go it alone, taking action. We know that our means are meager and that the comparison with the bombs dropped on Iraq and Afghanistan is unequal, but we also know that only by actions such as these can we help build an anarchist movement capable of fighting the dreariness of exploitation and the habituation to authoritarianism. We hit the Carabinieri cadet school in Fossano to make them understand from an early age what admiration their criminal career raises among us exploited, among those who immigrate every day struggling to survive without an ID in their pockets, among those who have seen friends or relatives mowed down at a checkpoint, among those who reject the present state of affairs and rebel, not with talk, but here and now. We love to distribute “firecrackers” in their path so that 10 100 1000 Nassirya* is not just a shouted slogan, but a reality not only in the far east, but also in our cities and valleys.
Solidarity and freedom for all anarchists imprisoned in Italy, Germany, Spain and Greece!!!

Cassation Scripta Manent: some considerations and clarifications
This writing stems from the need to explain to comrades what will happen after the Cassation ruling for the Scripta Manent trial issued on July 6.
Starting with the most serious convictions, the court requalified the explosive attack against the Carabinieri’s student school in Fossano(Cuneo) on June 2, 2006 and claimed by Rivolta Anonima e Tremenda / Federazione Anarchica Informale as a “political massacre” (art. 285 c. p.), referring the case back to the Turin Court of Appeals for a peggiorative recalculation of the sentence with the risk of life imprisonment for comrades Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino.
In addition, all other convictions handed down in the Court of Appeals were upheld with sentences ranging from 2 years and 6 months to 1 year and 6 months for 11 comrades and acquittals for the rest of the defendants.
The convictions and acquittals as of now are final.

SCRIPTA MANENT SENTENCE
The hearing of the Scripta Manent trial took place on July 6 at the Court of Cassation (Supreme Court). The court reclassified the facts of the explosive attack to the Carabinieri students school in Fossano (Cuneo) on June 2, 2006, claimed by Rivolta Anonima Tremenda – Federazione Anarchica Informale, for which Anna and Alfredo were prosecuted, in “massacre & political” (art, 285), returning the process to the court of Torino for the punitive recalculation of the sentence. All the other sentences were confirmed, between 1 year and 9 months and 2 years and 6 months, for 11 comrades, and the acquittals for the rest of the defendants, which thus become definitive.
There will come times for more detailed reflections. What does seem evident to us is the determination of the State to break the anarchist movement and the revolutionary struggle, making even worse what happened before the Court of Assise (National Court) of Turin, with a sentence that does not seem to presume any margin for criticism. While the contradictions on which society is governed become more and more unmanageable, before the social tension takes forms that the power does not know how to manage, the State tries to give a blunt blow to the movement and a warning to those who do not desist: two or three years for those who publish a newspaper, dozens of years or even life imprisonment for those who act.
The recent decision to lock Alfredo up in 41 bis, shamelessly taken, moreover, on the eve of this sentence, is perfectly qualified in this State reprisal: the decisions have been taken, Alfredo has to stay buried, literally, in prison. His ideas, his actions, his contribution must be silenced, condemned to oblivion.
But forgetting the prisoners of the social war means forgetting the war itself: revolutionary solidarity with the anarchists Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito. Death to the State and capital, long live anarchy.
