The man, instead of being rescued, was abandoned in front of his home with his severed arm resting on a box used for harvesting vegetables . After being urgently transported by air ambulance to the San Camillo hospital in Rome, where he was hospitalized in serious conditions, the thirty-one year old died this morning in the Roman hospital. His employers had been employing him illegally for two years.

"Who will ask for forgiveness for Satnam Singh?" asks Bruno Giordano, magistrate, former director of the National Labor Inspectorate and father of the law against gangmastering, after the atrocious death of the Indian laborer in Latina.
«If you are a foreigner, illegal, you need a piece of bread to get by - says the magistrate - you have to work illegally, without security, without dignity, without hope . And if while you are picking the fruit that we want to have fresh at the supermarket or harvesting the wheat for our daily bread, for three euros an hour, at 40 degrees in the shade, they tear off your arm, they don't even call an ambulance, they dump you from a van on the side of a road and they throw your arm in a field , and you bleed to death, you're in Italy, in the country where we shouldn't disturb those who want to do something."
“I am dismayed,” declares the mayor of Latina Matilde Celentano . «The young man who was seriously injured was then abandoned on the street instead of being helped. Now more than ever, faced with the news of his death, which deeply saddens me, I accept the request that came to me just this morning from the entire municipal council to promote, where the conditions exist, the establishment of a civil party in the Municipality of Latina to the future trial.
