Report – September 2008-March 2009 (pdf):

"It is the job of the police force to protect the vulnerable and the innocent whatever their ethnic group, religion, race and personal situation: this is the incontrovertible assumption, the foundation of the Constitution, international law, democracy and civility. In recent years, however, in Italy, the reports of abuse against Roma people and immigrants carried out by men in uniform are no longer unusual; excessive force is taking place daily in cities and towns among general indifference."

Our work is only possible with your support.
