Anti-Imperialist Struggle Committee
Blog of Anti-Imperialist Struggle Committee from Berlin. We are in solidarity with everyone who are affected by Isolation and Solitary Confinement. Down with the prison system of Imperialists.
This call is also available in German, Italian and Russian
Let’s stand up for our hard-won fundamental and democratic rights.
Away with paragraph 129 penal code. It affects us all!
The traditional symposium will take place again this year.
This year we would like to focus our attention especially on the anti-terror laws, which grant far-reaching rights to imperialist and fascist states and hand people over to the arbitrariness of the state.
Material:
The imprisoned anarchist militant Alfredo Cospito is on hunger strike since 20th of October 2022, resisting in Italian jails against the isolation regime 41 bis. We are in full solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and principally against all solitary confinement and isolation methods.
The 41 bis is a special detention regime in Italy, also known in Italian as “carcere duro” (hard prison regime) and is defined by the Article 41 bis of the Prison Administration Act. Even though it acquired its final denomination only in 1986, the 41 bis derives from the Article 1 of Law Nr. 354, issued in 1975. During this period, the class struggle had intensified in Italy. From militant left groups to autonomous factory workers, people of Italy were rising the struggle for freedom with the wave of anti-imperialism that was sweeping all the world. It is during this times that the prison system was radically reformed: the institution started thinking itself as something that can, at any moment, suspend its own rules, thanks to the intervention of the executive power. The state wanted this change in order to subjugate the revolutionary will that now fills the prisons, and wanted to crush possible prison revolts even before they started.
1) What is meant by “Palestine Problem”?
To put out simply; imperialism and Zionism stole the 90% land mass of Palestine and forced 4 million Palestinians to live in exile, away from their own country. Rest of the Palestinian people are forced to live only in the 6% of their land under heavy conditions of embargo and siege, stripped away totally from their national sovereignty and freedom in the conditions of slavery. This is what is meant by “Palestinian problem”.
