Banner in Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners Around the World
May 10, 2023

From the overcrowding of the urban areas in a present that is increasingly immersed in slavery, we rise up and join the gestures of solidarity with the anarchist prisoners around the world, realities that appear distant but which, along with our own local reality, compose a system of global domination against human life and the earth.

Freedom for Alfredo Cospito!
Freedom for Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar!
Long live anarchy!

The first-degree sentence of the Diamante trial against anarchist comrades Evelin and Gianluca (arrested on March 16th, 2022) was read out today, July 5th, at the Genoa court. Evelin was acquitted of all accusations and Gianluca was convicted to 4 years and 6 months of prison (plus a fine of 15,000 euro) for ‘illegal possession of explosives’ (art. 1 and 2 of law 895/67) and ‘attempted crime’ (art. 56 c. p., Italian criminal code), while he was acquitted of the accusation of ‘manufacture or possession of explosive materials with the purpose of endangering public safety’ (art. 435 c. p.).

The comrades were not tried under the ‘aggravating circumstance of the purpose of terrorism or subversion of the democratic order’ (in relation to art. 270 bis 1 c. p.) because for this aggravating circumstance, present during the investigation phase, there had been no indictment for trial. The prosecutor’s requests had been for 5 years and 6 months (plus a fine of 15,000 euro) for Evelin and 9 years and 6 months (plus 30,000 euro) for Gianluca. We recall that the latter is still under house arrest with all restrictions (prohibition of meetings with persons other than close family members, prohibition of communication and exit permits, etc.). Solidarity!

Today marks four years since Willem van Spronsen was killed while apparently taking action to disable the fleet of buses that served the Northwest Detention Center, a private immigration detainment facility.
