attack!

To the comrades

From Il Rovescio, English version via Act for Freedom Now!

These seconds and minutes following the death sentence passed by the Supreme Court against Alfredo are interminable. But pain is different from surprise. [...] We need time for the pain because, if nothing will ever be the same again, tomorrow’s lucidity will have to be greater than yesterday’s.

Vandalism at the Italian Cultural Center in London

From Act for Freedom Now!

It appears that on 24th February, something unfortunate happened to the Italian Cultural Institute in London.

On Thursday 16 February, a solidarity meeting was held with the anarchist hunger striker from 20/10 against 41-bis and perpetual life imprisonment, Alfredo Cospito, as a signal of internationalist solidarity from Athens.

About the 41 bis for Alfredo Cospito: Those who are responsible

In recent days, a media campaign of mystification and lies has been going on around the hunger strike that Alfredo Cospito is carrying on to the last breath against life imprisonment without appeal and 41 bis.

Update about the health of Alfredo Cospito on the 119th day of hunger strike (Italy, February 15, 2023)

Get Alfredo out of 41 BIS!

From La Nemesi

Today’s news [February 15th] is that Alfredo’s body, now after too many days of hunger strike, has rejected both these two yogurts and the supplements, contrary to mass-media reports: what he is currently taking is only sugar, salt and potassium. This is dramatic news both with regard to the comrade’s possibility of making it to February 24th alive [...] and with regard to his ability to resume feeding himself following a possible revocation of the 41 bis order.

Protest against Italian government attacks on anarchist archives

Dear comrades,
in the last few days, we issued a statement to respond to the recent attacks on the Historical Archive of the Italian Anarchist Federation, http://www.asfai.info/ and all anarchist archives, made by the Italian government. With this newsletter we intend to also reach out to our international contacts. In addition, we take the opportunity to address the grotesque theorems on alleged relations between the mafia and the anarchist movement.
