EMERGENCY SOLIDARITY WITH AMADEU CASELLAS
*Latest communique from the solidarity group
*Upcoming call-in days and protest day
*Addresses and sample letters for the call-in days
Amadeu Casellas is an anarchist prisoner who has been locked up for 23
years for bank expropriations. He has also been very active in the
struggles inside the prison. He has served out the sentence given to him
by the courts but remains locked up. Last year he went on hungerstrike for
76 days demanding his release. The prison authorities promised to start
him on a release program as soon as he recovered his health, and once
again they have lied. Amadeu went back on hungerstrike in May to win his
freedom, as solidarity actions continue in the streets....

AMADEU CASELLAS ABANDONS THE WATERSTRIKE FAST, FOR HEALTH REASONS, BUT CONTINUES
WITH THE HUNGERSTRIKE. THE RETALIATIONS CONTINUE.
We're waiting to receive a communique from Amadeu explaining the latest
events, but at the moment we can explain what we have been able to find
out after his lawyers' visit today, 3 June 2009.
In the first place his health is deteriorating at an alarming rate. The
three days of water fast worsened his already grave situation. After
today's medical examination the doctor advised him of the seriousness of
his situation and the danger he ran of suffering serious dehydration if he
continued to not drink water. For this reason he ended the water fast,
although he goes forward with the hungerstrike, and his condition is
getting worse.
Saturday 30 May, he was visited in the infirmary, where he has been for
the last days, by the director of Brians 2 (the prison), Pedro Dominguez,
advising him that he was going to take disciplinary measures against him.
Amadeu, who had already complained of the retaliations in a letter to the
courts, received a reply on Monday instituting all the retaliatory
measures taken against him by the prison staff: prohibition from
communicating with all authorized people except for family members, and
control of all ingoing and outgoing mail. On top of this they added a
search which left his cell destroyed and resulted in the seizing of
documentation and personal effects, which were returned the following day.
The decisions coming directly from the prison adminstration are justified
on the basis of a supposed “risk to the personnel and the institution”
given that they have established a direct connection between communiques
from Amadeu published on the web and some “violent actions against
property and people” “by antisistema groups” (antisistema is the term
created by the press to describe anarchists, squatters, radicals, and
other undesirables in Spain). Concretely they are referring to an attack
against CIRE (a prison labor company) on 27/05/09 and a protest on
30/05/09, both in Barcelona. Additionally they explain that the latest
communiques from Amadeu denounced certain people belonging to the prison
institution, taking it for granted that simply denouncing characters such
as Montserrat Tura or Albert Batlle is a matter of guilt.
We think that these are nothing more than retaliations for maintaining an
attitude of constant struggle and denouncing the deaths, injustices, and
dirty tricks carried out inside the Catalan prisons. We believe that
Amadeu bears no responsibility for the actions that people in solidarity
carry out anonymously. The attempt to repress the solidarity by cutting
off its communication with him will not be effective, the struggle in the
streets will not stop because it doesn't depend on him, it grows
spontaneously and horizontally, and will continue as long as one single
prisoner remains locked up.
As you see the situation is quite tense not only due to Amadeu's
precarious health but also due to the repressive attitude of the prison,
from the director down to the prison guards and the situation itself, all
contributing to a climate of tension. The lawyers have also told us that
they are being controlled more severely than normal in their work to
support Amadeu.
We are aware that in these last weeks there has been a certain confusion
and lack of communication on the part of the distinct groups supporting
Amadeu. To start with the restrictions on Amadeu's communication—currently
even greater than before—makes it difficult for us to get his opinion on
matters in a direct and immediate way. Secondly the isolation to which he
is subjected obstructs him from getting a clear view of the situation on
the outside. And finally, we believe that the different visions that each
group has for realizing our support are also a cause of this strange
situation, for which we want to apologize. In any case we will continue,
readier than ever, which is just what the situation requires.
We request the greatest level of solidarity, and urgently, in the multiple
forms that you all believe to be opportune, until Amadeu is free.
