Anna Beniamino interrupts hunger strike (Italy, December 14, 2022)
We learn by phone call that in the evening of today, Wednesday, December 14, Anna interrupts the hunger strike she started 38 days ago at the side of Alfredo, who is imprisoned in 41 bis prison regime.
At the end of the strike Anna has lost 13 kilos, with a blood pressure of 50 at the minimum, 80 at the maximum. Some values of her liver profile exceed the parameters considered acceptable from a health point of view. In the last period, she has been offered hospitalisation several times by the prison, which she has always refused.
The lives of our comrades in prison are at stake in this struggle. It is up to all of us anarchists and revolutionaries to ensure that it is safeguarded. This applies all the more to Alfredo, now on his 56th day of hunger strike and whose condition is becoming increasingly critical awaiting the decision of the Surveillance Court of Rome [on December 1st, a hearing was held at the Rome Surveillance Court on the appeal against Alfredo Cospito’s 41 bis detention measure, the outcome of which has not yet been announced by the court].
