Alfredo Cospito has resumed taking supplements.
According to what has been learned from judicial and penitentiary circles , the decision of the FAI exponent, who reached the 117th day of his hunger strike, was taken in order to be able to arrive "lucidly" at the February 24 hearing in the Cassation and after the opinion with which the pg asked for the revocation of 41 bis, the regime in which he finds himself and against which he is protesting.
From the end of January, immediately after his transfer from the maximum security prison of Sassari to the clinical center of the Milanese prison of Opera, he went on with water, at least three liters a day, sugar or salt. After the sentence of the Supreme Court, he will decide how and whether to continue his protest.
Two days ago the anarchist was transferred from the clinical center of Opera to the penitentiary medicine department of San Paolo in Milan.
The prosecutor general of the Cassation, Pietro Gaeta, in an indictment filed last Tuesday in view of the awaited council chamber of February 24, asked to revoke the harsh prison regime for the anarchist and postpone a new examination .
The pg reiterates that the 41-bis is aimed at avoiding "further crimes or activities of the external association" but in this case it is necessary - explains the prosecutor - that a "factual basis" emerge on the basis of "immanent and defined elements", something that "is not found" in the order of the surveillance court on Cospito.
Twelve pages that still give hope to the defense which was aiming for an annulment with referral by the Supreme Court. "Cospito - ex-senator Luigi Manconi thundered three days ago - is subjected to an illegal and disproportionate measure ".
Meanwhile, on his first day in the hospital room intended for prisoners at 41-bis, a real cell, the anarchist of Pescara origins refused the wheelchair and walked independently . His health conditions, as reported by the doctor Andrea Crosignani, are now at the limit with a risk "of cerebral edema and potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias".
