Intervention/Banner Drop in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

On 04/12, as part of the International Week in Solidarity with hunger striker Alfredo Cospito (https://enoughisenough14.org/2022/11/28/we-wont-allow-the-murder-of-alfredo-cospito-on-hunger-strike-sive-october-20-2022-call-for-a-week-of-action-from-november-28-until-december-5/), anarchists intervened at a free screening at the Glasgow Autonomous Space to inform those attending of Alfredo’s hunger strike and struggle against the 41bis prison regime. Some of the comrades attending helped drop a solidarity banner in the South Side.

Today, October 20, 2022, at the Sassari surveillance court, during a hearing concerning the seizure of correspondence, anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito declared the start of a hunger strike against the 41 bis prison regime to which he was transferred on May 5. The comrade, who made a statement, was not present in the courtroom but connected by video conference from Bancali prison.

Banner Drop – Free Claudio Lavazza!

Claudio Lavazza has faced over 118 years of incarceration for a life spent at the heart of armed anarchist struggle in Europe, including involvement with the Proletari Armati per il Comunismo in Italy in the 1970s, and a number of expropriations from state and capitalist targets.

The comrade, according to French law, has been eligible for release since the 11th of December 2021 with the completion of 25 years of imprisonment, as his sentences should have been merged. However, as we have often observed in recent years, a regime of exception applies for political prisoners, for those who, like Claudio, remain unrepentant in their anarchist ideas, continuing the struggle in the cells as they did in the streets.

So, on the 17.05.2022, the day that the comrade’s appeal for release is going through court in France, we dropped a banner in solidarity on Eglinton St. in Glasgow.

Liberté pour Claudio Lavazza!

Banner Drop/Solidarity Call for Anarchist Prisoner Toby Shone

On the 5th of May 2022, a banner was dropped over the Kelvin in solidarity with anarchist prisoner Toby Shone, facing a Serious Crime Prevention Order in a hearing tomorrow, an extremely dangerous precedent for the political and legal targeting of the anti-authoritarian milieu.
 
The banner reads:
SOLIDARITY TO ANARCHIST PRISONER TOBY SHONE
No politically motivated Serious Crime Prevention Orders
FREEDOM NOW
 
We call on all anarchists and anti-authoritarians in the area to support the solidarity demonstration, 6/05, 08:30, at Bristol Crown Court.
 
Clydeside Anarchist Noise.
