Thanks for your work and for bringing the matter up: the days of Genova when the police ran berserk and shamed Western Europe. The sentence for the Diaz school put it bluntly even if the sentences were light: the police felt they could get away with anything because the national mood had changed. They would no longer be called to account. The sentence observed that Italy has yet to pass law against torture, and what was systematic torture had to be judged as single acts of brutality.

We won't see Italy adopting a law against torture in the foreseeable future.
