situation in Italy

[DA Malatesta]

Over the past few days ELP has been receiving lots of reports about raids across Italy investigating a series of direct actions . In the last couple of days there have been over 100 raids all across Italy and they have resulted in ten people being remanded into custody for allegedly being involved in the letterbombing campaign for which convicted ALF activist Sergio Maria Stefani along with Marco Ferruzzi, Simone del Moro and David Santini have already been charged with. Some of those who were recently arrested are connected to the Italian Anarchist Black Cross. The Italian ABC are accused of circulating a press release, from the underground group FAInformal, which claimed responsibility for some of the bombings. The Italian authorities are declaring the newsletter bulletin of the Italian Anarchist Black Cross to be an illegal publication! This is nothing but pure censorship and an attempt to silence the Italian anarchist movement. Please send urgent letters of support to:
