"Urgent communications to enact legal actions post Genoa Days. Read and spread as much as possible. Thanks in advance.

URGENT NEWS FOR PEOPLE DEPORTED, INJURED AND THOSE WHO WANT TO SUE ITALIAN POLICE

For those who have been deported:

You have to contact Genoa Legal Forum urgently (seated in Legambiente) sending a copy of the
expulsion provision via fax. You also have to provide name, surname, address, telephone number and email.
GLF lawyers will write down the appeal against the provision and send it back to you via fax or email, to
be signed and consigned to the Italian Consulate.
It's important that all this is done within 30 days from the notification of the expulsion decree, to have the
possibility to appeal. The appeal is for free.

For those who have been severely injured by Police:

You have to be visited by a legal doctor. For legal doctor we mean a doctor who has the possibility to issue a
legal document which can be brought to court.
The aim of this visit is to clear out whether the nature of the injuries is consistent with the the cause specified
by the injured ot not (e.g. bruise caused by a baton). The visit is URGENTLY needed and should be made
before evident marks of the beatings and injuries disappear. It's also important to take pictures
of the injuries. Once the medical visit has been completed, it's possible to contact the GLF for filing the
complaint together with the Italian lawyers.

Those who want to file a complaint for the beatings and injuries sustained have to contact personally or through
their own lawyers the Genoa Legal Forum seat which will put them in direct contact with criminal lawyers
following the case. The gathering place for legal materials and testimonies (video, photo, text) is ICS in Genoa.
