“The battle on prisons against the inhuman and degrading conditions of Italian prisons, and not only, must be brought to Europe” declared Rita Bernardini, President of the Nobody Touches Cain Association, on the sidelines of the press conference presenting her candidacy for the elections Europeans on the United States of Europe list, Islands leaders, held today in front of the Piazza Lanza prison in Catania. “Italy” explains Bernardini “is among the first in Europe for overcrowding and inhuman and degrading treatment of prisoners. The European Court of Human Rights has already condemned our country in 2013. Now a battle is underway: I try to carry it forward first and foremost with my body, with nonviolence, with my hunger strike, which arrives today on the 13th day. However, the political institutions” continues Bernardini “are not listening. This is why I made an appeal to the Meloni Government and Parliament to approve as soon as possible a concrete bill which already exists and has been scheduled, and which could reduce overcrowding, suicides, sad incidents of self-harm and deaths in prison. ”. This is the bill on the special early release of prisoners who respect the conditions for release “scheduled in Parliament thanks to a previous hunger strike carried out by me and Roberto Giachetti, but then blocked in the proximity of the European elections” comments Bernardini . “For this reason, to bring back legality in prisons and in the state, for what has been the battle of a lifetime, mine, but above all that of Marco Pannella, for fair justice, for a criminal execution that corresponds to and respects the values of our Constitution, I have decided to engage in this electoral competition, as head of the United States of Europe for the Islands, Sicily and Sardinia constituency” concludes Bernardini.
