Students Beaten for Protesting Against War Near San Carlo Theater

Students protesting against the war were beaten: it is very serious what happened tonight near the San Carlo theater with ten young people injured, three in the head, blood on the street, and another seven sent to the hospital for bruises and suspected arm fractures. Students who peacefully wanted to approach the San Carlo theater to make their voices heard regarding the choice to celebrate NATO in the city's most prestigious theater, the most deadly and lethal war machine in the world with millions of deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan, former Yugoslavia. This is what the Student Network for Palestine and Students Against War, who will meet tomorrow outside the San Carlo theater at 11 am with the injured students, wrote. At a time when support for Israel's genocide in the Gaza Strip and the increasingly armed confrontation with Russia's warmonger Putin pushes all of Europe onto a slippery slope towards war. As in Pisa and on too many other occasions, the Meloni government's police confirm a cowardly and violent line against students and the same right to dissent. The Mayor of Naples, the Police Headquarters, and the Prefecture must explain if it is 'normal' what happened today on the busiest street in the city. We ask Mayor Manfredi the reasons for the choice to deliver the main city theater to a gloomy celebration of war and militarism.
