Alfredo out of 41 bis

Hands off the anarchist publications

On October 10th is set the preliminary hearing for Sibilla proceeding, which in November 2021 led to an operation targeted mainly against the anarchist paper ‘Vetriolo’, an operation intended as a repressive warning against revolutionary anarchist publications. On that date, an indictment will be requested for 12 anarchists on 19 counts, almost all of them aggravated by the purpose of terrorism.

In order to attack anarchists and revolutionary paths, the State rants about ‘inciting’ and ‘orienting’ capabilities in such an ambit as the anarchist movement, which has always been a proponent of an obstinate and radical autonomy of thought and action. An assertion that goes hand in hand with having supported in the Scripta Manent trial convictions for ‘political massacre’ in the country where the massacres, the real ones, have always been perpetrated by the State apparatus.

Together with that trial, Sibilla operation was decisive in the transfer into 41 bis prison regime of Alfredo Cospito, one of the 12 defendants in this case. With the intense 2022-’23 mobilisation against 41 bis and life imprisonment without possibility of parole, we were able to prevent sentences up to life imprisonment resulting from Scripta Manent, due to the charge of ‘political massacre’. Today as yesterday, as a potential Sibilla trial approaches, we solidarise with Alfredo, defend anarchist publications and support the urgency of the revolutionary struggle.

While States gear up for war and profits for armaments grow out of all proportion, repressive organs again hurry to put anarchists on trial, an ‘internal enemy’ that must be eradicated because of their longstanding struggle against the State and capital. Repression against anarchist publications is part of war policies; 41 bis is war prison.

Solidarity gathering: Thursday, October 10th, at 9:30 a.m., in front of the court of Perugia in via XIV Settembre 86 (former Enel building).

Meeting to discuss the hearing and the struggle against 41 bis: Wednesday, October 9th, 8:00 p.m., at Circolo Anarchico ‘La Faglia’, via Monte Bianco 23, Foligno.
