How a child dies in Venice
11-year-old Afghan boy dies to avoid controls by the border police
He was fifteen years old. No, he was twelve. Maybe, in reality, he was only eleven. As the day progressed, his age changed several times, turning increasingly younger. In any case, he was a boy. He was found dead in Via Orlanda in Mestre, Venice, run over by the lorry under which he had hidden to escape the checks by the border police. Why, one would wonder, does an Afghan minor, a figure that is well protected by international conventions, by the ECHR, and even by the Bossi-Fini law [on (...)

Initiatives in the city starting from schools, while one might question about the results of security politics.
Abdul Salam Guibre, a 19 year-old Burkina Faso native but Italian citizen, is dead after being attacked with bar blows on Zuretti Street in Milan.
The issue at hand, whether the omicide was racially motivated or an unfortunate set of coincidences, or whether the answer lies in the politics displayed by the new government, exercising exagerated security measures, capable of ploughing through policies held in place by a previous administration.
