Amadeu Casellas win demands and ends 76-day hunger strike

from email, 6 September 2008:

After a hunger strike which lasted 76 days, the anarchist prisoner Amadeu Casellas won his demands for the privileges he had been denied, supervised freedom under the 3rd degree.

The reports publicised by the Catalan ministry of Justice early yesterday evening that he had abandoned his protest were finally qualified at 10pm last night by his support groups that he had in fact won his demands & that the solidarity campaign will continue to highlight his case with protest actions today to support a visit by his mother & a parliamentary representative.

As soon as medical staff think him fit he will be granted two 48 hour periods outside prison followed by the right to work outside the prison and return there only to sleep (the 3º degree). We know Freedom has no degrees. But this is what he has fought for.

Naturally the support groups & family send thanks to the international community of anarchist groups, anarchosyndicalists, Catalan & Basque nationalists, human rights groups, prisoner solidarity networks & individuals who showed their support.
