(ANSA) – MILAN, AUGUST 06 – ‘Justice for Alika’: it is the ‘human’ wording formed by the participants in the garrison organized in front of the Central Station, in Milan, not to forget the 39-year-old Nigerian street vendor killed on July 29 in the street, in Civitanova Marche, by the 32-year-old Filippo Ferlazzo from Salerno, now in prison.
The demonstrators wore bibs with letters to form the writing asking, in fact, justice for Alika. Among the participants in the sit-in, in the shadow of the Pistoletto Apple, also the regional councilor of the M5S Simone Verni: “What happened in Civitanova Marche is too serious to remain indifferent, this upsurge proves – he says – that it is not a question of isolated cases. It is particularly striking that no one stopped the aggressor: today a like is worth more than a man’s life “. Among the signs, many with the face of Alika and the words ‘I am a human being, do not let them kill me’ and others against racism. “I was struck by the indifference of this affair, it is the one that hurts the most” adds Christy, a Nigerian married to an Italian. “I have 3 daughters born here and still – she points out – there is someone who tells them to go back to their country”.
Among the associations that organized the garrison, ‘Nobody is excluded’, Ability different and the Nigerian Union of Milan. (HANDLE).
