1983. Government violence has plagued the Comiso, Italy Peace Camp all summer. Two blockades of the cruise missile base being built there have ended in broken bones and spilt blood for the peace camp demonstrators. 200 people worldwide arrived for the July 20-21 non-violent civil disobedience blockage.
The violence escalated on the August 6 weekend. More than 3000 demonstrators showed up. Many of them came there from everywhere in Europe. Police, without apparent provocation, attacked them, and followed them to the camp when they start a new attack. Seven Italian members of Parliament were among those beaten back by police. Over 400 people were injured. Many camp members were arrested.
