Cesare Battisti - a former terrorist of the Armed Proletarians for Communism sentenced to life imprisonment - presented a complaint to the Surveillance Court of Reggio Emilia in which he claims to have been the victim of "physical and verbal aggression" by some police officers penitentiary of the Parma prison, where he is currently held. The agents were also allegedly responsible for "damaging personal items, including the computer" , all "in the design of a fierce persecution" against him.
In the complaint, dated March 7, Battisti recounts that on March 2 "at 8 in the morning an assistant chief on duty with a bold and threatening air, supported by a swarm of agents with impressive physical prowess burst into my cell with the manifest will to wanting to provoke rash reactions, verbally and physically assaulting the undersigned". He claims to have suffered "a savage treatment" and that his privacy would not have been respected "not even when I go to the bathroom". The former Pac militant explains that he then felt a " blow to the heart", after realizing that his PC had suffered "serious damage". "A trauma" for him who considers the computer a "work tool" as a writer, but also "the only way to maintain a psychic balance in such adverse circumstances".
For this reason Battisti is asking the Court to ascertain any hypothetical crimes and to intervene "for a return to legality, aimed at guaranteeing inviolable human rights".
