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!

Zaragoza, Spain: Parcel bomb against the head of the prison guards union CSIF

Parcel bomb against the head of the prison guards union CSIF (Zaragoza, Spain, January 25, 2023)

Parcel bomb against the head of the prison guards’ union CSIF Zaragoza

Alfonso Peiró is not a mere jailer. For some reason he is impelled to defend corporate impunity, specifically in the macro-prison of Zuera, Zaragoza.

When the prisoners vent their anger among themselves or against themselves, everything goes on as usual. However, when someone dares to return violence to the henchmen of confinement, doubly despicable characters like Alfonso Peiró come out to bawl victimhood.

The few possible consequences of our attentions are nothing compared to what characters of his ilk and their superiors would deserve.

The package consisted of three small aluminum tubes filled with white chloroform tied together. To avoid damage to third hands, which are not our target, the package was sealed with transparent plastic.

We dedicate this action to the anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, prisoner in the dungeons of the Italian State, who is carrying out a hard hunger strike against the 41bis, a regime of total isolation in which they want to submit him.

THE ONLY JUSTICE IS REVOLUTIONARY JUSTICE
THAT FEAR CHANGES SIDES

Bucharest, Romania: Solidarity action with Alfredo Cospito at the Italian embassy

Posted on 2023/02/24 - 2023/02/24 by darknights

21/02/2023

[eng] This morning a banner of solidarity with the anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito, in hunger strike for the past 124 days, was shown next to the Italian embassy of Bucharest. Ever since the events of Piazza Fontana, the Italian state silences those voices that act for a world freed from oppression, while using strategies of torture and isolation through the prison system techniques such as “41bis”, aiming the physical annihilation of anyone who stands against exploitation and political injustices.

Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, against the 41bis torture regime!

[it] Questa mattina uno striscione di solidarietà con il prigioniero anarchico Alfredo Cospito, in sciopero della fame da 124 giorni, è stato esposto accanto all’ambasciata italiana di Bucarest. Fin dai fatti di Piazza Fontana, lo Stato italiano mette a tacere le voci che agiscono per un mondo liberato dall’oppressione, mentre utilizza strategie di tortura e isolamento attraverso tecniche carcerarie come il “41bis”, che mirano all’annientamento fisico di chiunque si opponga allo sfruttamento e alle ingiustizie politiche.

Solidarietà ad Alfredo, contro il regime di tortura del 41bis!
