Italian Pylon Sabotage Trial Update, After Ten Years

from Informa Azione

translated by Act for Freedom

The appeal trial in Florence against five comrades accused of a dynamite attack on a high voltage pylon on the infamous La Spezia-Acciaiolo line in Tuscany ended on Thursday 30th June. The action was against plans for a revival of nuclear power in Italy.

This trial, which had been dragging on for over ten years, came out of the ‘affinity groups’ and ‘antibodies’ investigations of 2006, which also led to charges against other comrades following an attack on the Adecco job agency, which eventually expired.

The public prosecutor limited himself to asking that the whole investigation be started again with the use of new evidence and new digos officers. However the court confirmed the first-grade acquittal for all the accused, taking a ninety-day period to prepare its motivations. After this period the public prosecutor could decide to prolong the trial by appealing to the court of cassation.

We take the chance to thank all those who have been close to us over these years supporting us with various initiatives that allowed a continuity that gave strength and attention to issues, the repressive one being only one of them, such as the struggle against nuclear power in whatever form it manifests itself and against all the noxiousness that infects the planet and all living beings.

A few enemies of noxiousness
