“Having exhausted all means to assert my rights, I am forced to resort to a total hunger strike and the refusal of therapy.” This was written by the former terrorist of the proletarians armed by communism, Cesare Battisti, in a letter sent to his lawyer, lawyer Davide Steccanella. Legal notice that clarifies that Battisti has been in solitary confinement in the Oristano prison for more than 1 year and a half, confinement in solitary confinement “in fact completely illegitimate (the day of solitary confinement imposed at that time was six months for what was fulfilled in June 2019).) “.
“The control of the DAP (Department of Penitentiary Administration) – writes Battisti in the letter – meticulously implemented by the prison authorities of Oristano, defiantly resisted all my attempts to restore legality, and the due granting of rights provided by law, but always stubbornly denied. My written or oral complaints addressed to this Directorate, to the Surveillance Magistrate, to the public opinion were in vain. To Cesare Battisti – writes Battisti himself, sentenced to life imprisonment for 4 murders and arrested in 2019 after 37 years in hiding – he does not even allow himself to be surprised if in his case some laws are suspended: this is what different authorities made me understand, in no uncertain terms.
“Asking for treatment equal to that of any other prisoner,” the letter continues, “is a continuous and exhausting contest that involves the most ordinary acts of my daily life: air time; forced and unjustified isolation;” insufficient medical care; arbitrary retention of literary texts; requests systematically ignored; objects of various uses and work tools denied, even if they are provided by the prison system, etc. “Hence the announcement of the hunger strike and the refusal to treat the illnesses that he suffers.
All of this, Battisti writes, “so that my transfer to a detention center can be arranged, where relations with family members and external bodies provided for by the legal system are facilitated, as well as professional relations oriented towards support and reintegration. I ask – he concludes – also that my classification in the High Security regime (AS2) for terrorists be reviewed, since the risk conditions that would justify it no longer exist ”.
