From some corner of the Chilean prisons
Having finished my daily hours in the courtyard, from my cell I throw myself into writing a few lines in order to find a brief moment of freedom that will interrupt my prison reality.
From Support Eric King
My mom made me an anarchist. She would cringe reading that, but to me it’s the highest compliment. She truly lets people be who they are and radiates mutual aid and love.
From Mongoose Distro by Dan Baker, March 21, 2023
Dear Mongoose and Comrades,
Today I started my hunger strike. Yesterday I was attacked by a white Christian Nationalist trump supporter, who was put in my SHU cell in spite of my protests. Despite my injuries I am full of determination, bloodied but unbroken. But, this is a small amount of suffering compared to friends like Gultan Kisanak, a Kurdish woman and political prisoner. I drew her portrait and wrote some of her quotes. Every day of my hunger strike I will draw a Kurdish woman who is a political prisoner and send her inspiring words to different friends. I ask that you all post them all online for me to raise awareness.

Full original title: Updates Letter by Anarchist Comrade Prisoner Ivan Alocco (France)
I am continuing the hunger strike I started on October 27, in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito’s struggle to get out of 41 bis. I am doing well. I feel tired and sometimes dizzy, but my determination remains intact. This is the first time since June, since I’ve been locked up here, that I feel like I’m doing something worthwhile, instead of simply surviving and watching time go by.

From Anarquía, English translation by Anarchist News
Some days ago, I received the news that the indomitable Alfredo Cospito started a hunger strike so that they would stop applying the regime of legal torture called 41 bis to him. [...] With these words, I want to make a call to everyone who sympathizes with Alfredo to disseminate the news of his situation, to stand in solidarity, and above all to act against those who add more links to Cospito’s chain.
