How To De-restrict A Skyteamst50

Where are Joy, Hellen. Florence, Debby and Priscilla, the young Nigerian migrants detained after the riot last summer to Cie in Milan?

Dove sono Joy, Hellen. Florence, Debby e Priscilla, le giovani migranti nigeriane incarcerate dopo la rivolta dell'estate scorsa al Cie di Milano? Si sta cercando di renderle mute e invisibili, persino di nasconderle? Si sta cercando di privarle del diritto alla difesa? Si sta cercando di seppellire nel silenzio la denuncia di una di loro contro l'ispettore capo per tentato stupro?

Domande worrying about where you need to shed full light. The question is whether in this country have been suspended the guarantees for the protection of persons under investigation and if it is violating the basic human rights.

We want clarity and transparency on the situation of five Nigerian women incarcerated, as well as other migrants, invisible, nameless Cie held in Italian. We want all of them have a name, we want their rights are respected, we want to have the opportunity to communicate with the outside world and make their voices heard. The Cie are places of violence and calls for the closure. But in the meantime, lawyers and women's organizations must be able to enter.

We knew that until just now Joy was now formally free legal assistance to bureaucratic errors. His lawyer, who had gone to prison Como along with an interpreter to gather useful information to supplement the complaint of attempted rape, was prevented from seeing her, saying he had been "revoked" and "replaced" by the same Joy. No written document, however, testified. Only one nomination was initially allocated to the lawyer office, however, that Joy has never accepted and does not even know. Today we are told that the task lawyer D'Alessio was not ratified for "technical hitches" (!) And only after countless pressures said they were willing to acknowledge it.

Why has hindered the meeting with the lawyer after the deposition of the complaint of sexual violence? Why will prevent contact with the outside world at a moment in which widens the mobilization of many women who require strongly that Joy and the others are delayed in the hands of their captors?

At this point it appears that Joy should still be held in prison in Como, Hellen should be in Brescia, Priscilla in Mantua. But because you can not know in which prison the other two have been carried out in Nigeria?

The silence surrounding the very existence of Cie, points of suspension of rights, and the general indifference to racist and sexist violence that is at home in those places, it makes us question primarily as women.
We not only print, but the entire city to reflect the level of abuse and non-humanity which we are accustomed.


The violence shows no voice on the end face of a devastating crisis of civilization that has a thousand faces, the precariousness of life and work up to the criminalization of migrants in the name of security policies hypocritical.

And once again women's bodies in the center of this spiral of violence, the crux on which the private, public and in the darkness of the CIE to play the game of old and new powers.
