translated from cette semaine

September 12, 2010 - Milan: Fire in the detention centre via Corelli. 4 days ago in the identification and deportation centre of via Corelli, Milan, a boy broke his leg playing football. He required treatment, but the Red Cross (always diligent in their duties as cops), instead of taking care of the detained boy decides to call the police directly, who start beating him. His companions chase the police out of the cell, barricade the doors and start burning mattresses. From there the fires of protest spread to two other sections, while police in riot gear try to get in to extinguish the fires.
After several hours, with difficulty, the police managed to extinguish fires and to take 4 or 5 selected inmates to jail. Among them is the young boy with his leg in plaster.
... Updated at 23h. 2 - whole sections are severely damaged: no window panes, no mattresses, walls completely blackened. Despite this, the detainees were brought indoors under the threat of assault and victimization. Five people were arrested and detained and two were released later in the evening.
