[fse-esf] Cobas hunger strike for the unions rights: Piero Bernocchi held by police

[Elettra Anghelinas]

    *On the 48th day of the hunger strike for the right of assembly and for *
*Trade Unions rights one of our hunger strikers was beaten by the police. *

* The  police held Piero Bernocchi and other members of  the Cobas national *
*executive comitee.*


Today at 5 p.m. , Nicola Giua and Nanni Alliata, accompanied by about 50

representatives of COBAS confederation chained themselves to the window 
grates

of the Government Building ( Palazzo Chigi) to peacefully and harmlessly 
protest

against the complete silence about the reasons for their 48

days hunger strike for trade union rights.



The police intervened immediately with a manifestly excessive strength

against the protesters, holding six of them and bringing the speaker of 
Cobas,

Piero Bernocchi to the Police Station.


Amongst the people who were held by the Police there were some 
representatives of

the National Executive committee of Confederazione Cobas.




Nicola Giua, already weakened after 32 days of fasting and after an

illness that required an immediate hospitalization just three days ago,

bound his neck with a chain to a grate; he was injured by the police

and is now in precarious health conditions with respiratory problems.

He is assisted by Doctor Roberto Maurizi.



The main requests of this campaign are the right of assembly during

working time for every Trade Union and for every group of workers as 
well as 

the right to enroll in any Trade Union. Rights that today are

not granted for the workers of the private sector nor for the

pensioner workers.
