Italy - Alitalia’s offices occupied in Milan against deportations

Today, 1st of april, we have occupied and closed down Alitalia’s offices of Stazione Cadorna. During the past demonstration to Corelli’s detention centres, the activists’ network managed to send two delegations iinside this CPT which collected desperate witnessies of migrants deported by Alitalia’s flights. They told they had been beated, tied up, and gagged up with cellar tape. Alitalia is actually one of civil airways which serve to deport migrants caged in CPT, called “temporary” detention centres. We closed down this office to express our disdain against the inhuman concept of deportations, to sanction this “civil” airways accomplishment and to start a campaign against all airawis and firms involved in the horror of deportations. During the action we have communicated with Alitalia’s employeess and all passers-by, telling them the role the potential role they have as employees of this company or planes passengers.

Together with our European mates we have denounced everydays suspension of human rights in detention centres such as Corelli’s CPT were detainees cannot meet anybody because nobody can enter these lagers. In lots of Italians towns people are demonstrating today against migrants detention centres denouncing private companies – such as Confraternita delle Misericordie – which take profit from CPT management and are partners of this shame.

Citinzenships and circulation rights for all! Stop deportation! For the end of racist laws like Bossi-Fini law! For the shutting down of all CPT/lager.
No man is illegal!
