On Saturday 29 March starting at 8pm, after several days of hunger strike, another protest broke out at the CPR in Trapani.
In the previous days, there have been repatriations, once again, of Egyptian citizens who have just turned 18, who have not had access to the right to defense, despite having been appointed a lawyer of their choice.
The conditions continue to be unbearable. The violence of the CPR system is punctually unleashed against those who try in every way to assert their right to denounce the conditions of detention or to exchange normal communication with their loved ones.
Here are some testimonies:
A. “It’s increasingly difficult here. We are completely alone. We are on hunger strike because they keep trying to take away our phones. Our only means of communication with the outside.
We don’t know what to do anymore?
Why doesn’t anyone come to see how we are, how we live?”
M. “Since this morning one of our brothers has been taken away. They told him ‘pack your things, you have to go to the consulate’. He hasn’t come back.”
A. “Many continue to cut themselves. They always have blood on them. We are abandoned. Do you understand? Here they can do whatever they want, since no one sees anything.”
We stand by those who fight for freedom, against the violence of the prison regime and against all borders.
