imc italy | 08.08.2001 12:59

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 wants 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.

i called the lawyers in genoa today and they said the 30 days time limit included a 45 day holiday, which all the judges take for theh summer ( s' alright for some) and so we actually had 75 days.
I wouldn't put it past the italian authorities to make a special exception for us though, so if you've been deported i'd get on the case quickly

i was only beaten around the head a few times by the police, no bruises now butthere is a scar where i had a cut, it wasnt that seriou but it was painful and they had to sdhave my hair offs, all other bruises on my body are long gone. is there any point in me bothering to sue the police since i got off very lightly compared to the beatings other people got. i wasnt going to bother, but if i can get some money off the bastards i t would be nice.
