Italy – Call for a solidarity presence at the preliminary hearing for operation “Scripta Manent” (05/06/2017) [en]

FOR ANARCHY ALWAYS

A preliminary hearing for the trial in operation “Scripta Manent” will be held on 5th June 2017 in Turin; the hearing is to decide on various charges, including ‘creation and participation in a subversive association’, several explosive attacks on carabinieri, politicians, journalists and companies involved in the construction of prisons and migrants’ detention centres – all claimed by the Informal Anarchist Federation , as well as instigation to commit a crime and attempting to defend criminal acts following pieces published in Croce Nera Anarchica. There are 15 people on trial, 7 of whom are locked up in AS2 sections in the prisons of Ferrara, Alessandria and Rebibbia. The imprisoned comrades are subjected to constant harassment and further restrictions in the communication between one another and with the outside. In spite of this, they are continuing the struggle against the system of domination and keeping up conflictuality through acts of revolt and contributions to the debate between anarchists and the enemy in authority.

In particular:
-In January 2015, 7 anarchists held in the AS2 unit of Ferrara, following noisy protests and strong confrontations with the guards, were given 15 days’ solitary confinement each in turn.
-In August 2016 anarchist Alfredo Cospito smashed the partition glass between the visiting room and the guards’ room in solidarity with the imprisoned members of the Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire; for this reason he’s soon to get 15 days’ solitary confinement.
-In the days following operation “Scripta Manent”, anarchists Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito went on hunger strike to put an end to isolation and the prohibition for those arrested to see each other.
-In September and October 2016, anarchist Marco Bisesti refused to be subjected to a tuberculosis test on his arrival in the prison, following which he spent a long time in the basement of the Rebibbia prison.
-In November 2016, anarchist Alessandro Mercogliano refused to comply with the identification procedure (photos and fingerprinting) in the prison of Ferrara; he’s just finished serving 15 days in solitary confinement.
-In December 2016, anarchist Marco Bisesti damaged the windows of the screws’ office in the AS2 unit of Ferrara, where he’s being held. Not satisfied, as soon as he was in the cell he destroyed the opaque panels installed on the air vents. He too got 7 days in solitary confinement.
-From 3rd to 13th May 2017, anarchist Alfredo Cospito was on hunger strike against censorship, which had become more pressing after the end of the investigation; as a result, practically all incoming and outgoing letters are blocked

Similarly, other comrades held hostages by the State are paying for

Prison of Ferrara [Italy]: Words of anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito for the Sardinian anarchist Davide Delogu (23/05/2017) [en]

Due to the continuous blocking of incoming and outgoing correspondence and consequently given an unsent text of solidarity, the anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito lets us know that he expresses unconditional solidarity to the Sardinian anarchist comrade Davide Delogu, that he supports his choices of struggle, as well as the communique written by him.

Italy: About the struggle of comrade Davide Delogu, Sardinian anarchist prisoner of the Italian State [en]

A few days ago we published on the website of Croce Nera Anarchica news about the attempted prison escape carried out by Sardinian anarchist comrade Davide Delogu, which ended with the machine-guns of the guards pointed to his face. We learned about this news from the phone call that Davide is making weekly with his family.
Davide informs us that he is in total isolation from May 1st and, that the article 14bis will be re-applied against him (six months of constant isolation with censorship imposed on his entire correspondence).
This escape attempt — Davide explains in a personal letter to me, with a document attached — is a Direct Action, part of the campaign for self-liberation, which he decided to launch with the act of May 1st.
Unconditional support to all anarchist comrades who, without regards, fight with dignity.
Support to the hunger strike of imprisoned anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito.
Support to the anarchist revolutionary choices of Sardinian anarchist comrade Davide Delogu.
Complicity and affinity with anarchist comrades, editors of the anarchist journal Vetriolo, who expressed their solidarity to Alfredo Cospito a few days ago.

COMMUNIQUE OF IMPRISONED ANARCHIST COMRADE DAVIDE DELOGU:

Prison and Brucoli [district of Augusta, Sardinia], April 25th 2017
Loose Cannon (... Maybe...)
We are anarchists in prison, some for years, some less, and we daily fight the war against domination, face-to-face with the enemy, inside their cages. We share the refusal and the disdain, clashing with the prison authority and its bareaucratic [play on words with bars and bureaucratic] discipline every day.
Therefore, we are cannons that are not loose (for now...), whose explosions, as the recent and the past acts teach, create disruption, material damage and the shattering of prison logic (that, as anarchist, has already been destroyed!). Sending certainly a vital stimulus of action inside a complex desolate swamp, to live your own anarchy, right here, right now, immediately!
Continuing to live like a cannon that is not loose (... maybe...) , I open with the acts a campaign (for those who want to accept it, otherwise I will do it alone, like I always did) of self-liberation, that will

Italia: Sulla lotta del compagno Davide Delogu, anarchico sardo prigioniero dell’Italia Stato [it]

É di pochi giorni fa la notizia da noi pubblicata sul sito di Croce Nera Anarchica, del tentativo di evasione messo in atto dal compagno anarchico sardo Davide Delogu, conclusosi con i mitra delle guardie puntati sulla sua faccia. Abbiamo appreso la notizia dalla telefonata che Davide svolge settimanalmente con la sua famiglia.
Davide ci comunica che si trova in isolamento totale dal primo maggio, e che gli verrà applicato nuovamente il 14bis (sei mesi di isolamento costante con l’applicazione della censura su tutta la corrispondenza).
Questo tentativo di evasione, spiega Davide in una lettera personale nei miei confronti a cui ha allegato anche un documento, è una Azione Diretta parte della campagna per l’autoliberazione che ha deciso di lanciare con i fatti il primo maggio.
Supporto incondizionato a tutti i compagni anarchici e le compagne anarchiche, che senza riguardo, si battono dignitosamente.
Supporto allo sciopero della fame del compagno anarchico prigioniero Alfredo Cospito.
Supporto alle scelte anarchiche rivoluzionarie del compagno anarchico sardo Davide Delogu.
Complicità e affinità con i compagni anarchici della redazione del giornale anarchico Vetriolo, che pochi giorni addietro si sono espressi in solidarietà ad Alfredo Cospito.
Sempri pro s’anarkia! Sempri Ainnantis!

COMUNICATO DEL DENUTO ANARCHICO COMPAGNO DAVIDE DELOGU:

Presoni e Brucoli, 25 Aprile 2017

MINE NON VAGANTI (...FORSE...)
Siamo Anarchici in galera, chi da anni, chi da meno, e combattiamo quotidianamente la guerra contro la dominazione, faccia a faccia col nemico, dentro le loro gabbie. Conviviamo il rifiuto e il disprezzo, scontrandoci con l’autorità carceraria e il suo disciplinamento sbarrocratico ogni giorno.
Siamo perciò mine che non vagano (per ora...), le cui deflagrazioni, come i fatti recenti e passati insegnano, creano scompiglio, danni materiali e la frantumazione della logica carceraria (che in quanto anarchici è già stata demolita!). Trasmettendo certamente importanti stimoli vitali d’azione all’interno di una complessa palude desolante, per viversi la propria anarchia, qui, ora, subito!
Nel mio continuare a viverla come
