We receive and spread:
To spread as much as possible!
To break the isolation to which the anarchist Alfredo Cospito* is subjected through the practically total block of correspondence, we relaunch here the call to send him postcards and letters … in this period of holiday trips, etc. could come correspondence directed to him from many pleasant locations!
This umpteenth call to write to our partner is also motivated by the updates that come to us from Bancali, since Alfredo evaluates extremely appropriate to continue and increase the sending of correspondence directed to him: even without traceability, even if only postcards with or without sender … if they arrived in considerable numbers they would give a good commitment to those in charge of blocking the mail.
It was then evaluated that at this time the traceability of the correspondence destined for him is not necessary as long as it has been until now since Alfredo has accumulated more than 30 certified correspondence detentions on which the Supervisory Magistrate must express himself, which, however, is slow to do so (normal as far as Bancali is concerned, according to the lawyer who assists numerous inmates in that institution).
Finally, on the sidelines of the “correspondence” issue, on September 14th there will be a hearing concerning the “judgment of compliance” against the prison of Bancali: it is a procedure in which the magistrate evaluates if the prison is not able to enforce an authorization granted but which is not really made possible. This is Alfredo’s access to the library of the institute, which had been authorized without it being able to benefit from it. If they give reason to Alfredo, the judge will designate another figure different from the prison staff to ensure that the authorization is respected.
We also make our own the proposal of “Initiative in solidarity with Alfredo against the blocking of the mail” formulated by/from the compas of S’Idea Libera di Sassari to further develop to the attempt to jam one of the isolation devices applied to Alfredo: one more opportunity because, after this “summer phase” of sending postcards and letters without coordinated methods, you try to give continuity in the long period of the moment.
INITIATIVE IN SOLIDARITY IN ALFREDO AGAINST THE BLOCK OF THE POST
In relation to the situation of Alfredo’s censorship, blocking and isolation in 41a at Bancali, we would like to agree with this proposal for an initiative.
Over time there have been several occasions when, in an individual or organized form, one has tried to break the isolation through correspondence. At this moment, when it seems important to beat the iron constantly, we thought of an initiative that aims to support Alfredo through the correspondence and give him a little continuity to have a certain impact, or try to have it.
The proposal is as follows: any reality, collective or individual, that wants to join, undertakes to send at least 7 postcards to Alfredo in a given week. In this way, the more adhesions there will be, the more we will be able to guarantee a “cover” over time with a certain continuity.
We propose this organizational mode:
-
individual or collective realities may send their availability to the evaliber2.inventati.org email by September 1.
-
on the basis of the availability we will throw down a calendar, so each reality will be given a reference week in which to send the postcards / letters to Alfredo.
The address to write to Alfredo is:
Alfredo Cospito
C.C., this is C. “G. Bacchiddu”
Provincial Road 56, No. 4
locality of Banks
07100 Sassari
Let’s break the isolation!
Social Space S’Idea Libera (Sassari) AntiRep case of the Western Alps
Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist comrade in prison since 2012. Initially arrested and convicted for the wounding of the CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare, he is now serving a sentence of 23 years in prison issued as part of the “Scripta Manent” trial in which various anarchists and anarchists were accused (and some and some and some even convicted of them). After his assignment to the 41bis prison regime in the spring of 2022, Alfredo undertook a 6-month hunger strike against 41bis and the obstructive life sentence that, thanks also to the energetic international mobilization that accompanied his initiative, brought to the attention of the public the aberration of this prison regime and the sentence to die in prison represented by the obstructive life sentence.
Alfredo is still locked up in the 41bis of Bancali (Sassari), and the renewal of his allocation to this scheme will take place next spring. The purpose of the 41bis is clear: to physically and psychologically annihilate the individuals who end up with it. In the case of Alfredo it is evident a progressive limitation in the already small possibilities of livability established for this prison regime: blocking of correspondence to / from the outside, inability to access the internal library (authorization Alfredo had had from the Direction), blocking of books regularly purchased in the library through the prison (as provided for in the 41-bis regime) and other goods, such as flour or clothing, of daily use.
ps: For those interested*, postcards were printed against the 41bis that can be requested from the email: cassantirepalpi.org
