To break the isolation to which Alfredo Cospito is subjected, in particular through the almost complete blocking of mail, his supporters are calling for a massive letter writing to him. Even if letters and postcards can be blocked by the prison administration, this testifies to the existence of significant support for the anarchist prisoner held under the 41bis solitary confinement regime. They point out that it is useful, even if they are not tracked letters or even if they are simply postcards, with or without indication of the sender. Previously, a campaign to send tracked letters had been organized. They have been blocked and the Court for the Execution of Sentences is due to rule on the case in the coming weeks. Finally, in addition to the question of the mail, on September 14 there will be a hearing about the “judgment of conformity”, in relation to the prison of Bancali (where he is detained): this is a procedure where the judge will rule on the ability of the prison to enforce an authorization granted [to a prisoner], but from which he is not really allowed to benefit. It is about the possibility for Alfredo to access the establishment’s library, something that had been authorized, but without him ever being able to benefit from it. If he decides that Alfredo is right, the judge will appoint another figure, outside the prison administration, to ensure that this authorization is respected.
His supporters propose that each collective or individual who wants to participate in this mobilization commit to sending at least seven postcards to Alfredo, during a given week in order to guarantee the visibility and continuity of the campaign. Individuals or groups can send their availability to evaliber2@inventati.org before September 1st. Based on availability, we will draft a schedule in which each individual/collective will be told a week during which to send cards/letters to Alfredo.
The address to write to him:
Alfredo Cospito · Casa circondariale « G. Bacchiddu » · Strada provinciale 56, n.c. 4 · Località Bancali · 07100 – Sassari (Italy)
