Militants assaulted in Milan by fascists, 1 killed
Tonight in via Brioschi, near the Navigli area (Milan) a small group of
fascists deliberate attacked three militants with knives. One of the
three, hit at the throat and chest, fell down on the ground and died in a
few minutes. Afterwards some people spontaneously gathered at the S.
Paolo Hospital for a demonstration. The police and carabinieri (the
military police) reacted charging violently the demostrators and
arresting some of them. Less than a hour after the murdering, the
disinformation machine was up and running: the ANSA (the most important
italian news agency) said "a riot between young dissidents groups
had taken place in Milan". The evident aim of the newsblast was to
turn the fascist aggression and the violent police repression at the
office into the 'typical bad evening caused by noglobal violence'.
We are here to repeat that instead of 'riot' we can clearly talk about
'deliberate aggression', an assault which costed the life of a young man.
And we confirm that the police and carabinieri protected the fascists and
covered up the facts, charging with tonfas and baseball bats (as reported
by direct witnesses) the people demonstrating their solidarity outside
the hospital.
