" He can't stand up anymore ." Angelica Milia, Alfredo Cospito 's trusted doctor, reports this evening, outside the Bancali prison, on the conditions of the anarchist under the 41 bis regime since May. « He is forced to use a wheelchair , which disheartens him a lot. But each step represents too much energy expenditure». For a person who has been on hunger strike for three months, who has lost over 40 kg and whose electrolytes and body temperature are constantly decreasing.
«Alfredo is always cold despite wearing three pairs of trousers and 7 shirts. The tremors are also seen in the electrocardiogram ». Yesterday a drop in pressure, which occurred during the shower, resulted in a fall . "He sustained a small fracture at the base of his nose and was taken to the emergency room."
A critical situation that can get worse at any moment. “Your reserves have run out. With protein catabolism going down like this, respiratory arrest can occur when it exceeds 50% . But Cospito, on whom the risk of life imprisonment hangs, does not give up. “He is absolutely convinced of what he is doing. He doesn't even take supplements anymore because he wants to precipitate the situation ». And this could happen well before April 20, the date on which the outcome of the appeal to the Cassation against the 41 bis presented by the anarchist's lawyer is expected.
