Call for a mobilization against the law “Pacchetto Sicurezza”

On January 19th in the Italian Parliament the voting procedure to approve the law “Pacchetto sicurezza” (DdL 733) will begin. This law will result in migrants facing greater segregation and increased racism.
The new law will mean: – that migrants who go to hospital can be reported to the police if they do not have a residence permit
– that migrants without a residence permit cannot legally recognize their children
– that migrants must have the residence permit for two years before they can marry
– that migrants must present a residence permit to send any money home
Moreover, the proposed law: – increases the detention of migrants up to 18 months
– asks for a fee of 200 euros every time a residence permit is released or renewed
– makes illegal entry a crime This law denies fundamental human rights such as the right to the private life and the right to live with our own children. This law regards all migrants because according to the Bossi-Fini law when a migrant loses her/his job she/he becomes illegal.

We refuse racism, explotation and control!

For this reason, we invite all of you to a public assembly which will take place at 8pm on 8th January at the ex-Snia Viscosa, Via Prenestina 173, to discuss and organize a mobilization against the law planned for Saturday the 17th and which we intend to continue during its discussion in Parliament.
