time for genoa to own up to numbers of dead.

it is time for genoa police to release the actual number of people who died during the protests in genoa and it is time
to take stock of those still missing in genoa.

i spent the weekend logged into the italy.indymedia sites where reports were made about the death tally during the riots by italians on the scene &/or who had communications with the genoese police.

on saturday there was a tally of 3. i for one do not believe
that this is the final number of people who died.

we should ask the genoese to release the number of people who died during the demonstrations or in custody/hospital afterward.

i think we are in for a very big shock when we realise the
actual figures.

nothing will happen unless we pressure the media/government
to get the genoese authorities to release the figures.

we also want to know who remains in custody in genoa.

the uk activists won a great victory because of the pressure
they mounted on the government and the media to get brits
released. that should not be the end of it.

what happens to those people who no-one claimed? do they rot in a genoa jail/ become a play thing for fascist sadists/ die?

unity is our strength.

I dread thinking about it but I reckon that there are going to be a few dead bodies turning up, somewhere ?
It appears that the people who were in charge of the operation were morons who think they can get away with anything. Which is definately true in Italy, but this is horrofic crime is now an international affair.

The true death toll nust be announced !

Without a doubt, through much talk with world Indymedia and other involved individuals whilst in Genoa the death toll is at least three and christ knows how many more!

The pressure most keep building by the international community to force the Genoese authorities to release the real figures and in the meantime as many people as possible should be at the Italian embassy in London and wherever else events are taking place on saturday as a mark of respect for the dead and injured and in hope for the future !
