Anarchists protest against the 41-bis regime

Demonstrators in front of the Court of Cassation hold up a banner during a demonstration by anarchists protesting against the 41-bis regime for Alfredo Cospito, an insurrectionist anarchist convicted of terrorist offences. Article 41-bis of the Prison Administration Act provides for the possibility for the Minister of Justice to suspend the application of the normal rules for the treatment of prisoners laid down by law in exceptional cases for offences of organised crime, terrorism, and subversion, and to apply the hard prison regime.
