Letter from Ambro – anarchist prisoner in Chile for the Week of Solidarity

“I wish I could transform myself into a wolf, so I could sink my teeth into the womb of society in an orgy of destruction.” Bruno Filippi

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.

If I think of anarchist solidarity, the first thing that comes to my mind is my arrival in prison, when my comrades who had already been held hostage for various political reasons took charge of orienting me and gave me the tools to survive in this hostile and indifferent world.

Anarchist solidarity makes it clear that prison is not the end of the path of struggle, but its continuation. The networks between prisoners and like-minded comrades on the outside allow the imprissoned to continue to take part in events or to set up projects as well as to contributions of the different comrades. This way, there is a feedback between the inside and the outside, which enriches and keeps anarchy alive in a time when modern states are perfecting their modern states perfect the mechanisms of control, surveillance and repression.

That is why the internationalist character of anarchist solidarity is also important. Anarchist solidarity, where every strike, action or propaganda throughout the the world is oxygen in the veins of the prisoner, giving him strength to follow the path of struggle and to the path of struggle and maintaining the fighting spirit.

I am deeply grateful for the help given by the comrades of A-Fund. It has been 5 months since I was deprived of my precious freedom on March 29th. And at the gates of my trial the expenses are increasing. I am grateful for the selfless help and faithful commitment to the cause.I wish I could transform myself into a wolf, so I could sink my teeth into the womb of society in an orgy of destruction.”

I appeal for solidarity with the anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, who continues to suffer harassment and censorship at the hands of the Italian State, with the comrades imprisoned in the Greek jails, with Monica and Francisco who stand tall with their heads held high without regrets or hesitation despite being on trial and risking more than 100 years in prison, and with Aldo and Lucas anarchist prisoners accused of making and placing an explosive device in the national directorate of the gendarmerie.
