Hello everyone: the updates we are receiving on the situation of comrade Alfredo Cóspito describe a clear worsening of the already abhorrent conditions of isolation 41-bis.
For several months, Alfredo has been facing a progressive limitation of the already limited possibilities of living in the prison regime to which he has been assigned since 2022, including the practically total blocking of correspondence to/from abroad, the impossibility of accessing the internal library (authorization that Alfredo had received from the Directorate), the blocking of books regularly acquired in the bookstore through the prison (as provided for in regime 41-bis) and other goods, such as flour or clothing, of daily use.
All this happens, at the same time as the conviction in the first instance for the disclosure of official secrets of the Undersecretary of Justice Delmastro (precisely because of the matter of the wiretapping, disclosed to Parliament by Donzelli, of the conversations between Alfredo and the other detainees who at that time were part of his “social group”). Other “coincidences” that could be thought to have their weight in this matter are the resignation at the end of last December of the director of the DAP (Directorate of the Penitentiary Administration), Giovanni Russo, who had testified not exactly in favor of Delmastro in the trial against him and, always by chance, the return to the command of section 41-bis of Bancali of the command of the GOM (special militarized police attached to sections 41 bis) that he had been transferred to precisely because of his involvement in the case of the wiretapping.
That is why we relaunch the appeal we disseminated last year about the correspondence addressed to Alfredo, as a first step to regain incisiveness and constancy in the mobilization to get Alfredo out of isolation and continue fighting against life imprisonment and 41-bis.
LET’S KEEP WRITING TO ALFREDO!
It is very important to continue writing to comrade Alfredo Cóspito, still imprisoned in prison 41bis of Bancali (Sassari). The meticulous (and often frankly incomprehensible and contradictory) work of the censorship office, together with the superficiality typical of national prisons and the unreliability of the Italian postal service (an instrument that is increasingly the exclusive prerogative of prisoners’ communications), makes it highly recommended to send correspondence using traceable systems such as registered mail (even without acknowledgement of receipt) or “Posta 1”. The receipt and the tracking code allow you to know the status of the shipment and then carry out the bureaucratic process to try to unblock the correspondence, since the agents do not always reveal the holds and many times the mail simply disappears.
For this reason, we invite all supporters to write and send scans or photos of the receipts (or in any case the traceability codes) to the Cassa Antirep delle Alpi Occidentali, which will collect them and send them to Alfredo’s lawyer to make the necessary resources and recover as many letters as possible.
Solidarity is a concrete act, we will not leave Alfredo in the hands of the executioners of the State: let us flood him with affection even if it is through letters and postcards!
The address to write to him is:
Alfredo Cóspito

Strada Provinciale 56, n°4
Località Bancali
