| dbo:abstract | Silvia Baraldini (December 12, 1947) is an Italian activist. She was active in both the Black Power and Puerto Rican independence movements in the United States in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. In 1982 she was sentenced to 43 years under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for conspiring to commit two armed robberies, driving a secondary getaway car during the prison break of murder convict and fellow political activist Assata Shakur (a.k.a. Joanne Chesimard) and for contempt of court for refusing to testify before a Grand Jury that was investigating the activities of the Puerto Rican independence movement. Although the government sustained that her sentence was appropriate given the serious nature of her crimes, her supporters argued that her harsh sentence was due to her unpopular political beliefs. Baraldini was imprisoned in numerous high-security facilities in the United States, including the notorious basement unit of a Federal Prison in Lexington, Kentucky which housed two other women, Susan Rosenberg and Alejandrina Torres, also convicted of politically motivated crimes. The unit was sharply criticized by Amnesty International and its closure was eventually ordered by U.S. District Judge Barrington Parker. After being transferred to Italy in 1999 to serve the remainder of her sentence, she was released on September 26, 2006, thanks to a pardon law approved in the previous months by the Italian Parliament. Italian journalist Lucio Manisco acted in favor of Silvia Baraldini's extradition; he was then a foreign correspondent of the Italian public television channel Rai 3 (1987–1992). (en) Silvia Baraldini (Roma, 12 dicembre 1947) è un'attivista italiana, condannata negli Stati Uniti per "associazione sovversiva". Ha fatto parte negli anni sessanta del movimento di lotta contro la guerra nel Vietnam e poi dagli inizi degli settanta e fino agli ottanta negli Stati Uniti del movimento rivoluzionario di sostegno alle lotte di liberazione nazionale degli afroamericani e dei portoricani. Fu membro anche dell'"Organizzazione 19 maggio", legata al Black Liberation Army (BLA), un gruppo clandestino fuoriuscito dal Black Panther Party. Nel 1983 è stata condannata a una pena cumulativa di 43 anni di carcere (di cui molti passati in isolamento e carceri di massima sicurezza) negli Stati Uniti per i reati di concorso in evasione, associazione sovversiva (comprendente anche due tentate rapine a cui non partecipò personalmente, e tramutata in associazione a delinquere per commettere cospirazione secondo la legge RICO, una legge nata in origine per colpire la mafia) e ingiuria al tribunale, per non aver fornito i nomi dei compagni. Dopo la condanna si sono sviluppati negli Stati Uniti e in Italia gruppi di appoggio che ritenevano la pena sproporzionata e persecutoria, in quanto la Baraldini non partecipò direttamente a fatti di sangue e ipotizzando che, nella legislazione italiana, tali reati - corrispondenti pressappoco ai reati di procurata evasione aggravata, concorso morale in rapina e associazione sovversiva oppure associazione con finalità di terrorismo - avrebbero forse comportato una pena di circa 10 anni e probabilmente senza l'applicazione del c.d. carcere duro. Il forte sostegno alla sua causa da parte dei partiti di sinistra e di organizzazioni umanitarie ha portato alla sua estradizione in Italia nel 1999. Dopo alcuni anni di arresti domiciliari Silvia Baraldini è stata scarcerata il 26 settembre 2006 per effetto dell'indulto. In totale ha scontato circa 23 anni di reclusione. (it) |
