Liguria Italy: men at risk of torture if they return to Turkey


Amnesty

the appeal Released: 01.04.2010

Avni Er, turkish citizen held in Italy, is at risk of forced return to Turkey where they may face torture or other ill-treatment.

Avni Er is currently being held in a Center for identification and expulsion (CIE) in the city of Bari His lawyers have lodged an appeal against the refusal of his application for asylum and international protection. The European Court of Human Rights has ordered the Italian authorities not to proceed with the expulsion of Avni Er until the first instance decision on his request for asylum and international protection has been taken. His lawyers have asked the Court to extend the order until the decision on the appeal. In any case, there is a risk that the authorities Italian to proceed with the expulsion of Avni Er, before the appeal will be discussed.

Avni Er, who left Turkey in 1982 at the age of 11 years and there has never returned, was arrested on 1 April 2004 under an international police force against people suspected of crimes terrorism. He was convicted in December 2006 by a court of Assizes of Perugia for his membership in illegal organization Party-Front Revolutionary People's Liberation (DHKP-c) and sentenced to seven years in prison and deportation. In April 2007 the Turkish authorities have requested the extradition of Er in Turkey for its membership in the DHKP-C. The request was rejected by the authorities Italian for the risk that Er was tried twice for the same offense. In any case, the proceedings against Er are still pending in Turkey. Amnesty International believes that Avni Er is subjected to torture or other ill-treatment and an unfair trial if deported to Turkey, as happened to other members of the DHKP-C who were tortured and abused in recent years.

Under the international law principle of non-refoulement, Italy should not refer anyone to a country which could face torture or other ill-treatment or any other kind of violation of human rights.

Question of the skin: Italian, except for blacks

Letter published by Done's Daily 03/31/2010

Francois, Joseph and Jean Paul Frattini, these are our names. Sounds French to approach a typical Italian surname. Not an ambiguous choice of our parents, but a statement of our origins. Born of Haitian mother and Italian father, we have grown and lived all our lives in Brescia. Nevertheless, our skin carries with it the condemnation of his offspring too uncomfortable. It has never gone unnoticed by our bright colors, but except for a few whispered remarks vile cowardly whisper, we have always lived peacefully. Questo fino a poco tempo fa, precisamente fino alla sera di venerdì 19 marzo, quando un atto di discriminazione razziale ci ha coinvolti in prima persona.
Avevamo programmato una "serata tra brothers", scegliendo come meta fortuita il locale molto noto Hotel Costez, situato nel centro di Cazzago San Martino, già frequentato in passato da Joseph e Jean Paul. L'ambiente abbastanza elegante e raffinato, ci impose una cura particolare nell'aspetto e nell'abbigliamento: la politica di molti locali moderni esige di adeguarsi a determinati standard. Nonostante tali sforzi, ad una distanza di circa 10 metri dall'ingresso, fummo bloccati da un buttafuori, che senza troppe remore, ci vietò di entrare. Convinti si trattasse di un malinteso, chiedemmo chiarimenti. La risposta ci sconcertò (ed è forse proprio da questa risposta che deriva la più grande inquietudine): "Eh dai ragazzi, lo sapete!". Cosa sappiamo? Ci ha forse scambiato per qualche giovane irrequieto con cui ha avuto problemi in passato? Difficile, data l'unicità dei nostri tratti somatici. Ciò che ben sappiamo e di cui andiamo fieri, è che siamo neri, e questo ci impedisce di accedere ad un'area apparentemente troppo vip per noi. Pochi secondi d'attesa e le paroline magiche furono pronunciate: "Siete extracomunitari e non potete entrare." La schiettezza con cui sostenne questa tesi e la totale mancanza di rispetto per una categoria sempre meno tutelata, non fece che rafforzare la nostra convinzione di voler enter. We decided not to show the identity card to prove our Italian, and continued in the part that we had been assigned. The bouncer, armed with leather gloves designed for these extreme circumstances, he continued to say that was a rule and as such could not be violated. Of course, an unwritten rule, but no less valid. After several attempts, we agreed to stay in the area outside the room, confined like dogs. Do not pay Objective achieved, we slipped inside. But nimble earphones communicating signals the presence of three unwanted intruders. Another huge bouncers, no longer inhibited or embarrassed by my colleague, we walked to the exit. Serves no purpose to show documenti per intaccare le loro ferree convinzioni: neri eravamo e neri restavamo. Questione di pelle.
Nadine Gordimer, scrittrice sudafricana e premio nobel per la letteratura, durante una conferenza del 1959, nei difficili anni dell'apartheid, disse: "Non è possibile riuscire a contraddire fino in fondo con i fatti un clima di privilegio. Noi abbiamo la parte migliore di ogni cosa; come è difficile non sentire, in qualche angolo segreto di noi stessi, che in effetti siamo migliori!" E allora ci chiediamo, alla luce di quello che è successo, se questo stesso sentimento di superiorità che ha indotto il proprietario di un locale a vietare l'ingresso a tre connazionali perché non bianchi, sia diffuso a tal punto da essere universalmente shared or at least tolerated. Perhaps we were too lucky and we lived in a bubble of glass that allowed us to see, but at the same time be protected. Now we feel hurt and we do not want to be silent and be silenced. We do not pretend to be charged situations similar to today's systems of government. The injury did not party policy and in any case is never good, is by any party. But after 27, 28 and 34 years living in Italy, strangers and feel discriminated against at home, triggered something. To inform and to tell what has happened to us, is the non-violent means we have chosen to defend those who can not or can not get a say. Are many and this can not longer be tolerated.
The questions we ask today are many and perhaps most difficult to find a rational answer. Among all, one stands out for bizarre: the bouncers, you will have noticed to be non? Because maybe someone should explain that they have de-legitimized the same category.

FREEDOM 'IS NOT PROCESS!

Report of the first day of the trial to the rebels of Ponte Galeria

ended in mid-afternoon, March 31, 2010, hearing that involved 18 of the rioters Cie Ponte Galeria Rome. The rebels were accused of violence and injury to the officer, damage, aggravated arson and attempted escape, for the revolt broke out in the night between Monday 29 e martedì 30 marzo, in seguito ad un pestaggio da parte della polizia all'interno del Cie.
La protesta è terminata alle 4 del mattino circa, quando i reclusi sono tornati a dormire nelle loro celle. Solo dopo alcune ore, mentre si trovavano a mensa per la colazione, la polizia è arrivata in forze e ha deciso di dividere tra "buoni e cattivi" gli uomini che sono stati individuati come i diretti responsabili della rivolta della notte precedente.
Diciotto reclusi sono quindi stati arrestati "in flagranza di reato" e stamattina si è tenuta l'udienza in cui il giudice avrebbe dovuto confermare gli arresti e decidere sul loro eventuale trattenimento in carcere.
Trattandosi di un'udienza per direttissima con convalida, tutto was held behind closed doors, while outside of the classroom and in the square opposite the palace of the court, a group of anti-racist and anti-racist leaflets and expressed his solidarity displaying a banner with the words "Freedom is not processes. Close all Cie. "
At the hearing, defense lawyers showed that, since he spent many hours between the end of the uprising and arrest, you could not deal with "flagrante delicto".
why the judge did not validate the arrests. So, fifteen defendants were reported in Cie Ponte Galeria. Three others were instead transferred to the Regina Coeli prison in Rome because, having previously criminal offenses such as resisting the police and others, the court considered "probable" that they could perform other similar.
Among other things, the court, accepting the demands of the defenders, has ruled out the fire and attempted aggravated escape, stating that in the case of administrative detention, the attempt to escape from LaCie can not be considered an escape. The charges against him have been aggravated damage and injuries and violence to public officials.
for all suspects, the process will continue with the ordinary procedure, then we will proceed with the investigation and then with the next hearing, yet to be fixed.

rebel is right! Solidarity is
weapon!
