On November 30, I couldn’t sit on my hands while the next day some shitty judges would decide on my comrade’s life.

Chile: ‘Because there is a whole world to destroy.’ Text in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan for “Nueva Subversión”
Because there is a whole world to destroy. Text in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan.
“For me, “informality” is above all friendship and love between comrades who share everything, even disappointments (inevitable in human relationships, because of their fickle nature). Brothers and sisters in war united by a passion: the destruction of the existent that is sufficient by itself and does not need the constraint of an organization. A life lived intensely, a handful of comrades who make loyalty and respect for the given word an insurmountable fortress, always allowing themselves to resist.”
– Alfredo Cospito
The anarchic endeavor travels thousands of kilometers, destroys languages and borders in the incessant war against power, in this journey we weave networks of conspiracy and we twin with comrades who have decided of their own free will to give practical impetus to their denials.
In all the history of propaganda by the fact we have never been forced, dragged or manipulated to strike blows against the enemy, always from our own conscience and will is that Anarchy has opened beautiful paths of confrontation and that will not change.
Far from hesitations and contemplative postures towards life and its rapid advance, we find brothers and sisters and comrades at long distances, accomplices that make Anarchy an active giant with vast experiences in the new anarchist urban guerrilla. Of these comrades are Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan, activists, dangerous and unyielding in the streets and in the prisons of capital.
Our words emerge from action and are a wink of complicit brotherhood with those who have been trapped by power and who today make their bodies a trench of war. In special solidarity for comrade Alfredo Cospito who faces a new battle, in a new planning and action against the beast of 41bis.

Bremen, Germany: Freedom for Alfredo Cospito and all other prisoners – Prison profiteers SPIE and Dussmann attacked
The world of prisons and their guardians must perish, stone by stone, bar by bar, car by car.
Freedom for Alfredo Cospito and all other prisoners: Prison Profiteers SPIE and Dussmann Attacked
The world of prisons and their guardians must come to ruin, stone by stone, bar by bar, car by car.
Just in time for the proclaimed day of action for Alfredo Cospito, we happened to stumble upon 3 cars of prison profiteers. We took advantage of this stumble and landed with small spikes in their tires, so lucky, our hearts danced with joy!
Like countless others, Alfredo’s desire for another world, a new one from the ashes of the old, has brought him directly to solitary confinement. This is for you, Alfredo. May actions and words break the isolation and find their way to you and all the other incarcerated.

Bristol, UK: Banner hung in solidarity with anarchist nihilist comrade Alfredo Cospito
Received by email:
On a typical bleak winter night on this grey prison island, during a typical poster sticking session, we hung a banner, in the Easton area, as a minimal sign of solidarity with our anarchist nihilist comrade Alfredo Cospito, who is on hunger strike since 20th October & is in conflict with the Italian fascist state after it put him in the torturous isolation prison system of 41 bis.
Our hearts are still with anarchist comrade Toby Shone who is also on partial hunger strike in solidarity with Alfredo.

Perugia, Italy: Incendiary attack against some vehicles in front of Unicredit’s executive headquarters in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike
We learn from local media, from an article published on Dec. 2, of an attempted arson attack against some vehicles parked in front of Unicredit’s executive headquarters, including a corporate vehicle of the bank, in Perugia’s Madonna Alta neighborhood. According to reports, the vehicles were not seriously damaged. On some were found the inscriptions ” Fire to the prisons” and ” Out Alfredo from 41 bis,” in reference to the all-out hunger strike against the 41 bis prison regime and hostile life imprisonment undertaken by the anarchist Alfredo Cospito since Oct. 20. Currently, other than the writings found by the repressive forces, no claim or communication regarding the attack appears to have been released.

The second edition of What International? is finally available, which we are publishing-during the hunger strike undertaken by Alfredo Cospito starting Oct. 20-as a gesture of solidarity with his comrade and of insubordination against the state, which with the repressive Sibilla operation of Nov. 11, 2021, attempted to get the book out of circulation and which, starting in May 2022, with Alfredo’s transfer to 41 bis, is deluding itself into thinking it will permanently shut his mouth. We will not allow them to do that!

On the night of November 12-13 in Taggia (Sanremo), 6.5 litres of petrol set fire to the vehicles and destroyed the MARR company warehouse.

41 bis = prison = torture

Anarchist Ivan Alocco has ended the hunger strike (France, December 1, 2022)
Ivan, incarcerated in Villepinte prison (near Paris), lets us know that he has ended his hunger strike. Today, December 1st, he started feeding again, after 35 days of hunger strike in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito’s struggle.
He is well and sends a strong hug in solidarity to Alfredo, Juan, Anna, Toby and everyone outside the prisons.
On Thursday, November 24th, during the interrogation by the investigating judge, Ivan made a brief statement and then said he had nothing to declare in response to the judge’s questions. His statement, as far as we know, was more or less this:
“I am an anarchist. I support every act that goes against the state and capital and towards social and individual emancipation, including the acts of attack of which I am accused in this proceeding.
I am currently on hunger strike, in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, a comrade imprisoned in Italy, in solitary confinement, in the prison regime called 41 bis”. He then complained about the repeated blocking of his mail, which isolates him even more.
Meanwhile, he received some mail.
The investigating judge used his statement, among other things, to justify her unfavourable opinion of the request for release, saying that the comrade “does not question his acts and ideology”.

Rome, Italy: Interruption of a performance at Argentina Theater in solidarity with imprisoned anarchists on hunger strike against 41 bis
Today, Nov. 26, 2022, the performance of “Hamlet” at the Argentina Theater in Rome was interrupted. Despite the fact that the theater workers turned into a full-fledged security service to protect the interests of the bosses, we determinedly managed to go on stage, unfurl a banner that read “There is something rotten in Italy: no to 41 bis,” throw leaflets, and read part of the communiqué, which, below, we quote in full:
We are here because Alfredo Cospito is in 41 bis. 41 bis is a detention regime specifically designed to annihilate the individual. We are here because Alfredo has been on hunger strike for more than a month. We are not here to cry over an injustice suffered by our anarchist comrade, because it is not. Just as it is not a legal aberration. It is the logical reaction of the democratic-state to the attacks launched by Alfredo. First physical, with the wounding of the bureaucrat Adinolfi, at the time CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare and for which he finished serving the sentence to which he was sentenced. Then with the words with which, while in high-security detention, he contributed to debates in the anarchist movement. The 41 bis to Alfredo is not only revenge, it is also a willingness to take away the word. Because speech, when it does not remain a mere rhetorical exercise: it is a weapon.
Alfredo has been on hunger strike for more than a month to get his downgrade and against hostile life imprisonment.
He has been joined by anarchists and prisoners Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco and Anna Beniamino. They use the hunger strike because in the condition of isolation in which they find themselves it is, perhaps, the only form of struggle available to them. With strength and courage they put their safety, their lives on the line … while you are sitting here watching a sham and do not realize that everything is. Daily something is taken from you, for the moment, on you it has no consequences and then you turn away. Blinded by your privileges you think democracy is the best possible system and you look indignantly at exotic nations where people are trampled. You want truth and justice for Giulio Regeni and you don’t give a shit about the 14 deaths made in prison on March 8, 2020 by Italian democracy. You don’t give a shit about the 80 prison suicides that have occurred since January. You don’t give a shit about the migrant concentration camps scattered around the beautiful country.
We have not come to raise your awareness. If you still sleep soundly-we spoil your fun.
We break the social peace in which you bask.
Death to the state!
Long live Anarchy!

Varedo, Italy: Attack on Lega headquarters in solidarity with Cospito
Striking a party like the Lega Nord means attacking institutional nationalism, racism and xenophobia. It means fighting the politics of “law and order.” Last night, Nov. 23, the windows of the Lega Nord headquarters in Varedo, a municipality in the Milan hinterland, were smashed.
This action is a concrete gesture of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (and the other imprisoned anarchists who support him) who are fighting to the bitter end against the double torture of 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment. The latter measure, moreover, was recently reconfirmed by a decree passed by the current government, of which the Lega is a member.
No amount of repression will stop anarchist conflict.
