Update on the medical situation of Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike since October 20th against 41 bis and life sentence without appeal.
We learn from the press of the regime that today (21st March, 2023), the anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike for five months, had a heart attack; the comrade – they write – “was dying”. The incident allegedly began when the comrade felt a tremor in his hand and alerted a guard. “After ten minutes the nurse and the doctor arrived, shouting and saying that they had seen a heart problem from the monitoring. They were very concerned, he was dying.” […]. The crisis reportedly subsided after an injection of a large dose of potassium.
The results of tests carried out yesterday were also released today. According to the doctors, the values indicate that Alfredo may now have suffered permanent neurological damage and could be paralysed.
