Soledad is dead

Soledad hanged herself (we don’t have any reason to doubt it) on Friday

night (between July 10 and 11, 1998) in Benevagienna (Italy), where she

was living under house arrest in the community “Sotto i ponti”. Her body

has been taken to the hospital of Mondova, as required by a magistrate

who was very upset because of the unexpected interruption of his

fishing-day. Actually we don’t even know his name. Many journalists, as

usual, arrived immediately but they were chased away.

Soledad was an anarchists 22 years old and she was Argentinian. She was

in Italy since September, 1997. During the investigations on the

sabotages against the High Speed Train Project (TAV) in Val Susa, she

was accused of being a member of an armed organization called “Lupi

Grigi” (Grey Wolves) which claimed itself as responsible of only one

such sabotage (there have been a dozen of them and almost all happened

before Summer 1997). She was arrested with other two anarchists, Silvano

Pelissero and Edoardo Massari at the beginning of March, 1998. The

charges were reduced after the suicide in jail of Edoardo Massari.

Soledad then obtained house arrest in Benevagenna; Silvano was moved

instead to the high security prison of Novara. At the moment he is at

his 20^(th) day of hunger-strike asking for house arrest and in order to

know the date of his trial. The magistrate who holds the inquiry about

the sabotages against TAV (the inquiry was supposed to finish on May,

7^(th)) is Maurizio Laudi.

The famous “arsenal” found in the cellar of the Casa Occupata in

Collegno (Turin), where Silvano, Soledad and Edoardo lived, has been

never showed to the public and any expert evidence has been never

presented. The Media are working to construct a part for Silvano,

describing him as an agent provocateur.

Right now there are no public manifestations scheduled, and we hope

there won’t be, given the results of the mass demonstration held on

April, 4^(th): just a sort of exorcism after which nothing really

meaningful happened. Let’s leave apart any mere conventional form act.

Anyone wanting to express his thoughts and sentiments and rage should

simply do it, in the place and the situation where one lives, by one’s

own times and ways.

There is nothing to add and nothing to be shouted out. Move.
