(ANSA) - ROME, 17 JAN - "Today I saw Alfredo in Bancali prison (Sassari ed), I found him deeply emaciated, he lost 40 kg going from 118 on 20 October to the current 78 kg".
This is what the defender Flavio Rossi Albertini announces of the anarchist who has been on hunger strike for three months.
Cospito "continues to affirm that he will not stop his protest - continues the defender - if not with the revocation of the 41bis to which he is subjected, aware of the meaning that this statement can represent. He specifies that life under 41bis is not life and that if such it must be it might as well be sacrificed in a struggle against barbarism".
The defender continues by stating that "Cospito continues to lose weight, overcoming, exceeding, the critical point of his protest, conducted with and over his body and his health, the Ministry continues to maintain an incomprehensible silence on the revocation request sent to him by the defense. Yet it had been the Minister himself to complain in a note about the absence of his formal involvement.
even if the ministerial decision is negative Cospito and all and all those who have mobilized in recent months in support of his hunger strike, have the right to know for what reasons the anarchist must be condemned to expiate his sentence in the special prison regime.
We would not like the ministry, as often happens, to wait for the 30 days to expire from the presentation of the request and therefore omit any explicit decision by entrenching itself in a silent denial devoid of motivations, reasons, sense of humanity". (ANSA).
