Italy: protest against negative media campaigns targeted at immigrants

Some immigrants and European citizens in Italy organized on Friday a protest against the increasing aggresiveness of the media towards them, Rador informs. Italian immigrants, illegal or not, will not work, will not use public transportation and will not enter public places as a sign of protest against the negative campaign against them in the Italian media.

Immigrants are the focus of discrimination, of racist acts, more or less violent San Egidio community representative Paul Csony declared. He added that the main targets of the media are the Rroma community or the Romanians but there are other communities in Italy as well.
