statement
Giannis Michailidis on the struggle for his release
From Athens Indymedia, translated by Act for freedom now!
As I enjoy my freedom again, won through my second hunger and thirst strike, I reflect on the complex historical mosaic that not only shaped my personal choices but also wove the collective struggle against the state-capitalism complex. Far from being solitary acts of assertion, the hunger strikes were instead part of the social antagonism within the complex dynamics taking shape in Greece and the global landscape as the assault of the dominant powers deepens.

On My Extraordinary Permit and Parody-Transfer
From Luchar Contra el 41 bisTranslated by Act for freedom now!
But instead of discreet, my transfer was made with measures I had never had before and without prior notice. Naturally, the neighborhood was upset, as were my relatives who wondered why all this had happened as I had just been in Kalamata for 3 weeks. As for the local community, acquaintances and friends in town, some treated the event with astonishment and others with acid humor, speaking of its ridiculousness.

Anarchist Action Does Not Bow to Bourgeois Justice
Via Abolition Media
Message from Thanos Hatziangelou
On April 4, the agents of bourgeois justice want to put Anarchist Action in the dock of state terrorism. On the same benches where the state and capitalist crime of Tempe* will be washed away, tyranny will once again face the fighting forces of revolutionary violence, subversion and social liberation.
Alfredo Cospito’s statement at the review hearing
Via Dark Nights
When I think about it, though, something ironic is there: I am the only asshole who dies in the progressive democratic West because he is prevented from reading and studying what he wants, anarchist newspapers, anarchist books, historical and scientific journals, without neglecting his beloved comic books.

To Our Siblings In the Struggle
There’s not much else to say. Fuck banners, self-indulgent demonstrations, and inoffensive slogans and chants in front of the disgusting embassies of the murderous Italian state... It’s time to demonstrate to what extent are the threats made by our anarchic hordes, real and palpable (((A))) IF COSPITO DIES, WELCOME TO HELL, all across the planet...
To the comrades
From Il Rovescio, English version via Act for Freedom Now!
These seconds and minutes following the death sentence passed by the Supreme Court against Alfredo are interminable. But pain is different from surprise. [...] We need time for the pain because, if nothing will ever be the same again, tomorrow’s lucidity will have to be greater than yesterday’s.
You bet we’ll remember, and how!
From Inferno Urbano, English version via Act for Freedom Now!
About the 41 bis for Alfredo Cospito: Those who are responsible
In recent days, a media campaign of mystification and lies has been going on around the hunger strike that Alfredo Cospito is carrying on to the last breath against life imprisonment without appeal and 41 bis. We’ve heard it all. The prime minister Giorgia Meloni, with her usual victimhood, went so far as to suspect conspiracies about the coincidence of the start of the hunger strike with the launching of her government.
Urgent words in the face of an extinguishing flame
By Mónica Caballero
[W]hen I have received words of solidarity from a comrade while imprisoned, I have always valued and treasured them as something very precious. But at this moment comrade Alfredo Cospito needs words to be transformed into actions, to attack, coerce, subvert, manipulate, threaten, etc. To all those who have the power to change his prison situation and/or who sustain the 41 bis regime.
