A-Infos (en) Czech, Ostrava Anarchist Federation oafed: Voices from bass: Nico Aurigemma [machine translation]

At the author's request, we reprint an article on the importance of maintaining 
contact with our imprisoned comrades. Prison must fall! We have published the 
addresses of other imprisoned Italian anarchists here . ---- The prison 
experience only strengthened me in the importance of even seemingly small 
gestures such as writing letters to people in prison. It is not difficult for 
people "outside" and for people "inside" it can properly lift the mood and 
provide much needed strength. ---- I correspond with prisoners in different parts 
of the world. For example, in the so-called Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, 
Greece, France, Belarus, Russia, etc. I plan to share the messages of these 
people from time to time to motivate others to write letters.

But I would like to mention first that correspondence with prisoners is, in my 
view, an unconditional form of solidarity. I don't have to agree with everything 
these people do, say or think about. Nevertheless, I want to be in solidarity 
with them, as with anyone else who has an organized crime called imprisonment. I 
do not want to be their judge and I do not even know whether the accusations 
against them are true or not. I do not recognize the prison system and I believe 
that no one should spend time in prisons, including those who have committed 
things that I perceive as problematic.

As long as there are prisons, I will write letters. I recommend the same to 
everyone. I now publish a message from a correspondence from a person named Nico 
Aurigemma. He is an anarchist who, along with four other people, was arrested on 
June 12, 2020 in Rome during Operation Bialystock. This repressive campaign has 
led to accusations of associating for the purpose of terrorism or subversion of 
democracy, a terrorist act with deadly equipment and explosives, possession and 
transfer of explosives, incitement to commit crimes against state figures and arson.

According to the Italian regime, this repressive police operation against the 
anarchists is the result of an investigation that began after the explosive 
attack on San Giovanni Carabinieri / police station in Rome on December 7, 2017, 
to which the Santiago Maldonado - FAI / FRI cell reported .

Nica's message from the letter:

Thank you very much for your words and solidarity. I remember you were in jail 
too, so you know it's important. I'm okay. This prison is not so bad and I am in 
good company with the old red comrades and some anarchists. Friends and comrades 
are close to me, so I strongly feel their solidarity.

I send you all solidarity and a great hug. Hi!

Write a letter to Nico (in Italian or English) to:
