Update:
Below are photos from our own papparazzo pluripremiato
Gene Rizzo.
Second
update: fan mail received by Gene for his photos, plus
(also below) the trailer
for a documentary on U.S.
government ill-treatment of migrants, “Immigrant
Prisons”.
*
U.S. citizens participated in this protest against the
Italian government's ill-treatment of migrants,
because
when you fight for migrants' rights anywhere,
you are fighting for them everywhere.

Da
Repubblica: “Sono partiti in migliaia da piazza della
Repubblica, sfilando verso piazza Vittorio Emanuele "Contro
il razzismo, per la giustizia e l'uguaglianza", come
recita lo striscione in testa al corteo. Tra i manifestanti,
rifugiati o richiedenti asilo, ong, studenti, sindacati e
partiti, in piazza "contro le politiche migratorie
volute da Europa e governo e contro ogni guerra tra poveri,
per riaffermare l'uguaglianza,
|
|
una
legge sullo ius soli e per richiedere corridoi umanitari per
le persone intrappolate in Libia". Presenti al corteo
Sinistra Italiana, anche con il suo segretario, e decine di
associazioni e sindacati come Arci e Cobas che stanno
sfilando con migranti, richiedenti asilo e rifugiati.”
