To tell us the sad story of Hamdi Lala, a seasonal worker in the tobacco harvest, killed on 10 June 2000 in Acerra by crime, through the project “#inostristudentiraccontanoimartiridellalegalità”, is the student Gabriele Scilimpa of class III section. C of the “Filolao” scientific high school in Crotone.
“On 10 June 2000, a worker from Albania was killed by three brothers, his compatriots, who took his life after intimidating him to Yes that leavessse his seasonal job to one of them. The murder took place in Acerra, a municipality in the Vesuvian hinterland. The anger and frustration expressed in this atrocious murder make us reflect on the desperation caused by the absence of work, which in most cases can end in violence, as happened to Hamdi Lala. The investigators managed to reconstruct the story, arresting the three killers who were hidden in the apartment someone their friends, where they found toalso land blood-soaked T-shirts underneath mattresses. This murder he highlighted The conditions aberrant situations in which they are forced to live immigrants. Hamdi’s case is not just a tragic story, but rather it is a very broad social problem, namely the daily struggle for the survival of migrants who live in our region. About him His death Not it’s just a touching memory, which serves to raise awareness and make people reflect on marginalization and onexploitations that they suffer from organized crime many migrant communities in Italy. Furthermore, we must always have a sensitizing memory, because, despite the intimidation he suffered, Hamdi always fought for respect for his rights, even to the point of death, and now it is our turn to remember him highlighting that the mafia exploits the desperation of poor people, going so far as to pit them against each other just to have a crust of bread.”
Hamdi Lala was certainly an honest man who had sought redemption through work, in a country, Italy, where he thought he would find better living conditions. Perhaps from Albania, through television programs, the image of a Western reality of well-being and possibilities. Instead he encountered violence and abuse in a context where finding work is enough to be considered a nuisance.
In particular we remember that the statistical-economic analysis developed by prof. Paolo Angelone of the Department of Business and Economic Studies, University of Naples ‘Parthenope’, “Poor work in the Metropolitan City of Naples – 2021” published in November 2023, highlighted that out of 6255 inspections carried out in Campania in 2021 by the Territorial Labor Inspectorate (ITL) “like all production sectors in which the share of poor workers is higher, they are characterized by a high level of irregularity (primary sector: share of poor workers: 73.57; illegal workers for every 100 companies – ITL inspection: 73; workers who have suffered any violation per 100 companies – ITL inspection: 105; accommodation and catering: share of poor workers: 72.67; illegal workers per 100 companies – ITL inspection: 72; every 100 companies – ITL inspection: 100; business support service: share of poor workers: 44.55; illegal workers every 100 companies – ITL inspection: 19; workers who have suffered any violation every 100 companies – ITL inspection: 108; education: share of working poor: 80.44; illegal workers every 100 companies – ITL inspection: 3; workers who have suffered any violation every 100 companies – ITL inspection: 447)”.
Hamdi’s memory also serves to reflect on the many inequalities that afflict our society and how poverty often conditions men’s behavior.
The National Coordination of Teachers of the discipline of Human Rights notes how the project “#ourstudentsnarratethemartyrsoflegality” is spreading among the young generations faces, stories and episodes that are truly extraordinary for their educational value.
