Political revenge against Alfredo Bonanno

http://aftertrikala.blogspot.com/

Compan~eras and comrades,

From within a climate of daily anarchist action and the brutal
repression of every aspect of our lives I am taking the liberty of
informing you of two important developments concerning the detention of
Alfredo Bonanno.

As you already know Alfredo Bonanno and Christos Stratigopoulos were
transferred to Korydallos prison one day before the transfer of the
murderer Korkonea to the prison of Amfissa.

There, the pharmacy refused to grant him his medication for diabetes and
severe pain in the shoulder caused by a tumour diagnosed by doctors at
the health centre of Amfissa.

Following pressure from their comrades a doctor sent by the Italian
Embassy visited him in prison where his serious state of health was
confirmed.

I would like to inform you that at this time the investigator in Trikala
is deliberating the application for Alfredo's release on bail.
Following the new detention measures of the Ministry of Justice,
Bonanno's advanced age (73 years), his compromised health and his
detention for a misdemeanor (given that Stratigopoulos has assumed
responsibility for the armed robbery), it is patently clear that his
continued detention is an exemplary one of political revenge.
Alfredo Bonanno is a revolutionary anarchist comrade and a writer of
many works. That why he is being held, if it wasn't him, he would
already be free until the trial.

But for us, for whom solidarity is our weapon and who know that in any
uprising we will be dynamite, we will not abandon our comrade. We demand
the immediate release of Alfredo Bonanno.

Freedom now for Alfredo Bonanno.

Ps. The following fax has been sent to the Minister of Justice
Trasparency and Human Rights, Athens, the Italian Embassy in Athens and
the press.

We wish to denounce the abusive and illegal detention of Alfredo Maria
Bonanno in unacceptable conditions in the prison of Koridallos (Athens).
The vindictive politic of the State is aimed at the physical and
psychological annihilation of the 73-year old comrade who is facing
serious health problems. Alfredo Bonanno is an anarchist who has been
involved in the movement for decades, militant in the resistance against
the dictatorship of the Greek colonels (1967-1974), and writer and
editor of many works.

We demand the immediate liberation of Alfredo Maria Bonanno
