it upset me greatly, and i think my respect for the authority and the police has waned as a result.
i will divulge personal details if you get back to me.
ps. i am middle-class, university-educated etc..., but i've also been brought up to believe in DEMOCRACY and human rights..
look forward to hearing from you.

What the Caribinieri did was a breach of the peace, greivous bodily harm, actual bodily harm, torture, manslaughter and murder...not to mention false imprisonment.

Another report from embassy protest
26.07.2001 19:42
>Monday July 23rd - Protest at the Italian Embassy in London takes to the
>streets.
>6pm
>On arrival at the front of the Embassy a small group refused to enter the
>designated sheep pen across the road and chose instead to hang their
>banner denouncing the police beatings, directly in front of the Embassy
>and alongside the police. After a brief scuffle with the police attempting
>to remove the people and the banner, the police backed down as it was
>obvious that the people holding the banner were going to stand their ground.
>After about one hour this seemed to be too much for the police to bear and
>the T.S.G. reinforcements arrived to arrest and physically remove each
>person - only to de-arrest them again when they had been dragged to the
>other side of the road.
>After one more hour of hemmed in protest across the road from the front
>of the Italian Embassy, a group of about thirty people spontaneously
>decided to take part of the now musical protest through the busier streets
>of Central London.
>With police in confused pursuit, the group chanted "Police Assassins" and
>"Brixton, Genoa, The police are Murderers" and walked behind a banner
>protesting the beatings. They made their way to the Italian Tourist Board
>and Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry at 1 Princes Street, W1 (just
>by Regent Street), before moving onto Regent Street itself, where they
>stopped traffic by walking slowly down the middle of the road. The
>chanting in Italian, and the banner, seemed to attract as much attention
>as the stopping of the traffic and curious shoppers and tourists came over
>to ask questions about the protest. The police eventually caught up and
>pushed the remainder of the group against up shop windows arresting and
>then de-arresting one person.
>Two arrests had been made earlier in the evening and so people made their
>way to the police station on Saville Row in support of the two. They were
>released shortly afterwards. One person having being charged with a public
>order offence and the other being released without charge.
>
>[If anyone knows what has happened to the people arrested on Sunday's
>demonstration at the embassy when the crowd were Secion 60'd can they
>please let LDMG know.]

>[NEXT EMBASSY PROTEST is a NOISE DEMO - Saturday 28th - 2pm - bring lots
>of small banners, and pots, pans, drums, children and anything else that
>can make a lot of noise!]

>=============
>Meanwhile at the Globalise Resistance Demo around the back of the Embassy:
>On Monday 23 July Globalise Resistance held a well-attended press
>conference at the back of the embassy. After this, over 200 people
>protested, with banners from the Socialist Alliance and UNISON.
>Demonstrators - held by police in a narrow pen of crash barriers across
>the road from the embassy - chanted loudly for over an hour in protest at
>the murder of Carlo Giuliani and the imprisonment of other protesters. We
>then heard from the Branch Secretary of University College Hospital
>UNISON. He spoke about one UNISON member at the hospital who was in Genoa,
>and beaten by police around the face so badly that he may lose the use of
>an eye. He is currently still in hospital in Italy.
>Helen Salmon of NUS Executive said that the authorities had resorted to
>violence because they know how our movement is growing - including 300,000
>marchers on Saturday. Tom Behan of Globalise Resistance reported that
>there were demos yesterday in Milan and Turin, and there was one today in
>Rome. Tomorrow demos are planned for virtually every town in Italy.
>We then marched round to the front of the embassy to join protesters
>there. There was again a heavy police presence, but we were allowed to
>demonstrate and leave as we wanted. So we walked straight into the pen put
>there for us.
