AMADEU CASELLAS INITIATIES A NEW THIRST STRIKE, AFTER 82 DAYS OF HUNGER STRIKE.

Amadeu Casellas initiated a thirst strike, after 82 days of hunger strike.
After his 23 years in prison, (condemned for taking part in robberies in banks in the 1970s as an income for labour struggles, fighting against injustice) he should be given a "third grade" which means he could be out of prison with some conditions, and get a better treat. But the Penitentiary direction seems to ignore his demand.
Concentrations, and actions of solidarity are hapening widespread in Barcelona and in many locations in Spain. Lets spread the solidarity .

AMADEU CASELLAS INITIATIES TOMORROW A NEW THIRST STRIKE, AFTER 82 DAYS OF HUNGER STRIKE.

Amadeu Casellas has been a prisoner for the last 23 years, but has continued his struggle from within the prison. He is currently on his 82nd day of hunger strike. Despite this, he still has enough strength to declare himself once again on thirst strike, starting from tomorrow.

We hope that this fact will once again stop the intentions of Terrasa’s Hospitalary Penitential Unity, whose plans were to move him to Quatre Camins despite the delicate state of health he shows.

Even though Amadeu Casellas recognises his physical state has diminished, and he is suffering pain in the legs, he is convinced of what he is doing and is still keeping all of his mental faculties. It is foreseeable that tomorrow he will again be provided with saline solution in order to keep his vital signs at an acceptable level.

The notion that sentences should be served to their full length, with no opportunity to change this, is being applied to the case of Amadeu Casellas in an extremely strong manner; this to a person who has never been condemned for blood crimes, but purely for social crimes that are a product of the prevailing social injustices of then and now. His continuous efforts to show the importance of human dignity, by denouncing the existing injustices inside and outside of the prison, have doomed him to the arduous situation he is going through.

The penitentiary Institution can deny him the permisions, break their promises of freedom, can intercept the comunications, forbid the visits of his friends, take away the letters we send to him and intercept the ones he write to us. They can limit the phone calls and reject his money order. They can incomunicate him, they can keep him isolated, threatened. They plan to let him die slowly, imprisoned, subjected to their most inhuman system, but what they cannot do is to take away his desire of struggling and his passion for freedom.

For the anarchist and the freethinker the state doesn’t reserve for him rehabilitation, nor even his life if he wants to lead his fight to last consequences.

Wednesday 7 Oct. 12.00h in the DGIP (General Direction of Penitentiary Institutions), C./Aragó 332 de Barcelona. Concentration in support to Amadeu
