After throwing smoke bombs and paper bombs at police vans, the police reacted by charging the participants of the demonstration for Ramy (the young man who died in a fall from his scooter while fleeing from the carabinieri in the Corvetto neighborhood of Milan) called in Rome. The clashes took place in Piazza dei Sanniti in the San Lorenzo neighborhood.
The toll is four injured officers.
No tension instead during a similar demonstration in Milan. The procession, opened by a yellow banner with the words "Justice and truth for Ramy and Fares" in Italian and Arabic, has as its destination Piazza Duca d'Aosta, passing through Corso Monforte and Buenos Aires. Fares Bouzidi is Ramy's friend who was driving the fallen scooter and is being investigated for manslaughter.
"The suburbs," one of the organizers said into a megaphone, "are mentioned in the newspapers only in association with news stories, with the word 'security' and the word 'fear'. We are here not only to remember Ramy and give strength to Fares and their families, but also for all the victims of racial homicide who have lost their lives in Italy."
Meanwhile, the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office, after two meetings between yesterday and today and after the acquisition of the videos that have also been published by the media, has decided, for the moment, not to change the charges contested in the investigation into the boy's death, including road homicide for which the carabiniere who was driving the last pursuing car and the friend of the nineteen-year-old, Fares Bouzidi, are being investigated.
After the evaluations on the hypothesis of homicide with eventual intent, the Public Prosecutor's Office led by Marcello Viola has decided to maintain the first charge at the moment, pending the conclusion of the investigations, including the cinematic consultancy.
