On Juan Sorroche's Trial
On Wednesday, June 13, 2007, in Trento, Italy, a trial was carried out against our friend and companion Juan Sorroche, accused of arson against the Trenitalia train company and "subversive association for the purpose of terrorism".
18,000 pages of surveillance evidence, from video, telephone and ambient sources, meant to support the hypothesis of "association", amounted to absolutely nothing. So the prosecutor Paolo Storari tried to characterize parts of Juan's written correspondence from prison and his previous legal troubles over the grabbing of the Olympic torch and a punch given to a fascist as having "terrorist purposes".
After placing microspies everywhere (in houses, cars, centers, public places and even in a companion's bag) and installing tens of surveillance cameras (in front of houses and centers, in telephone booths and near numerous cell phone repeater towers) at a cost of around a million Euros, our public mercenary of repression has found himself empty-handed. Nonetheless, he has asked for a sentence of 4 years and 4 months in prison. The sentence will be announced on July 6.
The Prosecutor of Trento made the trial into a closed door proceeding, impeding the access of Juan's companions.
After a blocking of traffic put into practice by some 30 anarchists and other people in solidarity, the doors were opened, allowing some companions inside to greet Juan.
During the intervention, the searches and investigations in Bologna were also spoken of. In light of the media lynching on a national level against some basic banalities always maintained by revolutionaries, it seemed appropriate to hang a banner reading: "The Terrorist is the State".
The appointment for sentencing is July 6 at 9:00.
