"As long as Alfredo breathes we must fight for him. But if Alfredo dies these cowards and murderers must repent of what they are doing: we must make them pay".
The intervention of
Pasquale Valitutti,
historical anarchist exponent, 76 years old, today opened the demonstration in Turin in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito.
Several hundred people are present at the gathering in Piazza Solferino, many of whom have come from other Italian locations.
" We anarchists - Valitutti said again - have been hammering against the 41 bis for twenty years and 40 years against special prisons. We have to fight so that Alfredo does not die. We can accept a military defeat, because freeing him is impossible. But we cannot accept a political defeat".
The procession of anarchists in Turin, after the rally, moved from Piazza Solferino and walked along Via Pietro Micca, stopping under the headquarters of the Banca del Piemonte
where some demonstrators lit dark smoke bombs and daubed the walls with the words 'No to 41 bis". The procession, with a few hundred people, is opened by the banner 'Alongside Alfredo, alongside those who fight'. Large

THE SITUATION OF COSPITO
- Alfredo Cospito's situation "is deteriorating rapidly, even if the fact that he has resumed taking at least a little sugar makes it a little less dramatic".
This is what the anarchist's personal doctor, who visited him in prison, communicated to the defender, the lawyer Flavio Rossi Albertini.
The doctor reported having seen the 55-year-old "very tired and weary" for the first time: he arrived at the visit walking on his legs but immediately sat down on the couch" In addition to liquids, water and especially tea, Cospito is taking two spoons of sugar and a teaspoon of salt, while no longer taking supplements and vitamins.He has lost another kilo, he weighs 70, an "at the limit" threshold for a man of his height..The doctor also told the
lawyer Rossi Albertini that Cospito has a "very marked muscular atrophy" and that since he took up sugar again he has had "problems, with abdominal pains" .
The blood pressure and oxygen saturation values "still hold up well".
The electrolytes "confirm a low but still stable sodium value", however the latest available tests date back to March 1st.
Given the overall picture, the doctor asked the lawyer to bring forward the next visit "to the middle of next week".
