“Prometeo” operation: Natascia was transferred to the prison of L’Aquila and started a hunger strike
The anarchist comrade Natascia Savio, arrested on May 21, 2019, for the “Prometeto” (“Prometheus”) operation (together with Giuseppe and Robert), was transferred from the Rebibbia women’s prison in Rome to the prison of L’Aquila, precisely in the same section (AS2, “High Surveillance 2”) where are imprisoned Anna Beniamino and Silvia Ruggeri, on a hunger strike since May 29th. Also in June she was transferred from the prison of Gradignan, near Bordeaux (in France), to Rome Rebibbia, where she was imprisoned for a few days and where she began a hunger strike in solidarity with Anna and Silvia. On 20 June it became known that she was transferred to L’Aquila, so the comrade is actually imprisoned under the same conditions and restrictions imposed on Anna and Silvia. Solidarity with Anna, Silvia, Alfredo, Marco and Natascia on hunger strike!

Italia: Comunicato e sciopero della fame di Leonardo in solidarietà ad Anna e Silvia [en]

Dal carcere di Lucca.
A fianco di Anna e Silvia, che dalla sezione AS2 del carcere dell’Aquila intraprendono uno sciopero della fame per protestare contro le condizioni carcerarie. La mia solidarietà, al di là di un caloroso abbraccio che passa oltre ben due finestre barrate, la esprimo con tre giorni di sciopero della fame a partire dal 2 giugno.
Quando il corpo pulsa, quando si mette in gioco la propria libertà, quando la galera la si affronta a testa alta, quando gli occhi si iniettano di sangue, quando si sente dentro e fuori, un’immensa appassionata voglia di libertà…
Quando ancora il cuore non si è spento.
Per l’anarchia.

Italy: Declaration of Silvia and Anna on the beginning of the hunger strike in L’Aquila prison [en]

On the morning of May 29, 2019, in the court of Turin was held the first hearing in the trial against some anarchists for the occupation of Corso Giulio 45 (Turin). One of the defendants is Silvia, arrested on 7 February in the context of the “Scintilla” repressive operation and the eviction of the Asilo Occupato in Turin. The comrade via videoconference (which prevents her from being present at the hearings) read a text written by her and Anna announcing the beginning of a hunger strike against the conditions and restrictions imposed in the AS2 section of the prison of L’Aquila (prison conditions comparable to those of detention under the 41bis regime, present right in the prison where they are locked up). We remind that the anarchist comrade Anna Beniamino is imprisoned since 6 September 2016 for the “Scripta manent” operation, for which on 24 April was issued the sentence in the trial of first instance. She was sentenced to 17 years and four other comrades sentenced between 5 and 20 years of prison.
Revolutionary solidarity with the comrades on hunger strike and with all the imprisoned anarchists!
