been organized in front of the centre by the Turin Social Forum and during
the night the migrants rioted, burning matresses etc., and managed to

This evening (Wednesday) at 7 pm some of the images/interviews with migrants
filmed during the action in Bari-Palese were shown on national tv news
(RAI3) together with a report about the escape in Turin. We have
confirmation that some of the migrants who escaped from Bari-Palese have not
been recaptured by police and have managed to reach other cities.
Negoatiations over the closure of Bari-Palese are continuing and we expect a
final decision in the next few days.
Ciao
