Italy: Text by Adriano Antonacci on the refusal of the trial via teleconference

I will spend only a few words defending my choice not to attend the May 26 hearing and, possibly, the next ones, that will take place via teleconference.

Applying this mechanism falls in the infamous idea of differentiating between the detention circles, where the detained and accused person is being demonised and degraded, given the remarkable†social dangerousness†.

Already tested, article 41-bis now attempts to extend to prisoners classified as AS and to every trial where solidarity and conflict are or could be so characteristic and, as such, disruptive for those who apply ridiculous dress codes and do their job by deciding on the freedom of others. Without possessing any virtue, possessing however the power. A given right. By law.

The teleconference sets very specific limitations against the defendant, favoring at all levels the prosecutors and the judges.

And then, thinking in a more generalized context, one understands that limitations could extend beyond the frame of a trial…

Considering the magnificent steps of progress, this constraining tool, for economic reasons as well, will be attempted in the future to expand even more and be applied to most, if not all, trials.

Besides, it’s not hard to set up little rooms with screens, microphones and telephones. Those gentlemen will always find a strong motive to justify their use. It is obvious that the non-neutrality of advanced technology appears at every level and always reveals its role as a slavey of the authority.

The virtualization of a trial, no matter how important this is, it is basically a small thing compared to the atrocities of the authority (the judiciary in this case) but it is indicative, however, of the virtualization of life, intended to be controlled and annihilated, to the point that emotions, expressiveness and sensuality wither… to the point that there is less beauty in life itself and in the freedom of truly living it.

I would only feel like a fool, finding myself sitted in front of a screen and appear helpless in a theater, with me and my brother Gianluca being the absent co-protagonists.

So it will be a day (TN the 26th of May) just like the others, where anger is constant, but you try, to the extent that is possible, to look for stability and serenity. I do not hide the sadness of not being able to see again, or even embrace, persons that I care for and to feel the warmth of comrades’ solidarity.

Liberation only through battle!

Freedom only in anarchy!
