We publish the appeal of 20 defense lawyers of anarchist comrades / s on the
justicialist drift of the legal system and on the relentless repression againstindividuals mainly guilty of being anarchists. ---- On 6 July the Court ofCassation decided to redevelop a double attack against the Carabinieri School ofFossano from a massacre against public safety (Article 422 of the Criminal Code)to a massacre against State security (Article 285 of the Criminal Code). , whichtook place in June 2006 (two explosions during the night, which had not causedany injuries) and attributed to two anarchist defendants. ---- The originalqualification of massacre provides for the application of a sentence of not lessthan 15 years of imprisonment, while the current one, however, is a lifesentence. It seems paradoxical that the most serious crime envisaged by our legalsystem was deemed to exist in this episode and not in the many very seriousevents that have occurred in Italy in recent decades, from the massacre of PiazzaFontana to that of the Bologna station, from Capaci to Via D ' Amelio and Via deiGeorgofili etc.In April 2022, one of the two defendants was also the recipient of an applicationdecree of the so-called hard prison, pursuant to art. 41 bis paragraph 2 O.P.(introduced in our penitentiary system to combat mafia associations and whichpresupposes the need to prevent connections between the prisoner and the criminalassociation outside for criminal purposes), another singular event as it is wellknown that the anarchist movement shuns any hierarchical structure at its rootand / or organized form, so as to raise the serious suspicion that with theministerial decree it is desired to prevent the political dialogue of a politicalmilitant with his area of belonging rather than the relationship of an associatewith his associates in freedom. Also in the month of July u.s. A further harshsentence in the first degree was pronounced, to 28 years of imprisonment, againstanother anarchist militant for an attack on the headquarters of the NorthernLeague, called K3, also for this episode no one reported harmful consequences. Inaddition, in the summer of 2020, five other anarchist militants were joined by acustody order in prison for terrorist offenses, spending about a year in AS2(High Surveillance, another "harsh" prison regime), despite the facts to them.concretely attributed were bagatellari, such as unannounced events, soiling, etc.Other trials against anarchist activists are brought for crimes of opinion, forexample two in Perugia, qualified as incitement to crime aggravated by thepurpose of terrorism, as the offenders would have spread violent anarchistslogans; those same slogans and ideas that only a few years ago would have beentraced back to the case referred to in art. 272 of the Criminal Code, subversivepropaganda, abrogated in 2006, on the basis that propaganda, including ideologiesof violent subversion, must be tolerated by a state that calls itself democratic,under penalty of denial of its own founding character.Other judicial initiatives for associative crimes were brought in Trento, againin Turin, in Bologna and Florence, against other anarchist militants, withwidespread and incomprehensible application of precautionary measures in prison.The media narrative of the last two years, built on the basis of qualifiedstatements by the National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor, also seesthe anarchists responsible, instigators, of the riots in prison in the month ofMarch 2020, except for a recent subsequent denial by the ad hoc commissionestablished to establish the causes of the onset of prisoners.More generally, in recent times, the indistinct anarchist area has beenattributed an emphatic social danger by the half-yearly reports of the secretservices.It is legitimate to ask what is happening in this country and if the anarchistsactually represent a danger to public safety worthy of being faced in muscularand sometimes unscrupulous terms or if, in line with the past, they represent theforerunners for a restructuring and / or an authoritarian strengthening of thespaces of political and democratic viability in the country.The writer carries out the profession of lawyer and is directly involved in thedefense of numerous anarchists in as many criminal cases and this is how he findsthe increasingly widespread and casual removal of procedural guarantees from thistype of defendants: first of all in terms of the evaluation of evidence withregard to the subjective traceability of the disputed facts; or abandonment ofthe criminal law of the fact, to the advantage of criminal law of the type ofauthor, achieved through the exaltation of the dangerousness of the ideology towhich the offender belongs.We are aware that the genesis of a possible criminal law of the enemy is rootedin the recent history of this country in the judicial contrast to the fightingorganizations, during the trials of the 70s / 80s of the last century, and thatthe continuous emergencies that have followed over the years have allowed toshare and extend to other categories of defendants (for example to migrants, butnot only) the judicial attitude held yesterday towards the militants of the armedstruggle. Attitude that is being re-proposed today towards anarchists, guiltyabove all of manifesting an irreducible otherness to the established order. Aslawyers and advocates we find ourselves spectators of a justicialist drift thatrisks opposing a model of criminal legality addressed to citizens, with theguarantees and rights typical of democratic states, one reserved for subjectsconsidered dangerous, recipients of very strict provisions and measures. , aswell as prison differentiation circuits.All this worries us because it involves a gradual move away from the principlesof legal guarantee, from that of legality (for which one punishes for what onehas done and not for who one is) to that of offensiveness, up to a dangerousshift towards purely functions. preventive and neutralizing instruments ofsanctions, as the examples mentioned above demonstrate.

Alfonso Tataranonote on the Cospito trialWe denounce what happened during the hearing on October 20 at the surveillancecourt of Sassari, as an example of the brutality of the Cayenne of 41 bis: duringthe hearing, which the judge imposed behind closed doors and with his partnerconnected by videoconference, Alfredo he tried to read an articulated defensivememory through which to explain the reasons for the beginning of his struggle.The judge interrupted his partner, preventing him from concluding his speech onthe only - and perhaps last - opportunity to communicate with the rest of theworld since he was transferred to 41 bis, simply by turning off the audio. Hiscontribution has been classified as everything that comes from the black hole of41 bis. If lawyers decide to disclose it, they could face criminal consequences.An unprecedented decision that clearly indicates how the state is afraid ofanarchist ideas and the practices that these ideas inspire. All this isunacceptable. We want to read our partner's words immediately!We have nothing to ask of humanitarian associations such as the one against whichthis morning's initiative is aimed: we know that their alternating currentgrievances only denounce the misdeeds of some exotic regime, preferably anopponent of Western imperialism. We are not asking you to say anything about it... we just wanted to spit your false conscience in your face!Close the 41 bis! Break the silence!Solidarity with Alfredo on hunger strike!https://www.sicilialibertaria.it/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
