On hunger strike for over two months in Bancali prison. Domenico Porcelli, a 41 bis prisoner in the Sassari facility for 4 years, has been refusing food since 28 February 2023 and has chosen the path already taken by another famous guest of the prison, Alfredo Cospito , the anarchist who stopped eating right at Bacchiddu last year.

The 49-year-old from Puglia, sentenced by the Matera court to 26 and a half years for mafia-type criminal association, had the measure of the hard prison extended on January 30 this year by a decree from the Ministry of Justice. And now he wants to protest a decision he deems unfair to him and asks to be able to speak with the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio, signatory of the measure.

Meanwhile , the sudden interruption of food intake has already created phenomena of dysesthesia in these two months and 10 days , which involve the total or partial blockage of the sensory nerves, and Porcelli has had to resort to the use of a drip. Its lawyers, Maria Teresa Pintus and Livia Lauria, have already presented a complaint to the Surveillance Court of Rome asking for the annulment of the 41 bis decree because, according to what is reported in the document, the conditions that legitimize the choice of the via Arenula department are missing .
