"Mr President, there are terrible, shocking situations occurring around the world day and night. The dogs of violence have been unleashed and can no longer be stopped by anyone. The most vulnerable victims are people without any kind of protection. Take, for example, the case of a young Romanian, 38-year-old Virgil Cristian Pop. Locked up in a prison in Lecce, Italy, he was held in solitary confinement for six months where he was brutally beaten, after which he went on hunger strike. Unfortunately, no one believed him and he was completely ignored. Then, the poor chap died after not eating for 50 days.
The same lack of humanity is also demonstrated by the forces of repression which dish out beatings to environmental, anti-globalisation or anti-armament protesters, or to sports fans. Nearly every day we witness outrageous scenes. There are some assault units made up of police and other law enforcement officers, equipped as if they were from another planet, trampling on women and men, young and old, who carry no weapons other than a flower at the most. Yet, these gorillas and their political masters call this democracy and keeping public order. However, throughout history it has been the people who have always been right, not the slaves of these overlords acting like some ‘
’ in a trance. Unfortunately, Hitler and Stalin have not died, but have only been reincarnated."@en1
