Freedom for Gabriele Del Grande: Initiatives in Sicily

After days of waiting in vain for a quick solution to the events which have seen our friend Gabriele Del Grande detained for 10 days in a detention centre in Turkey, deprived of all his rights, Borderline Sicilia (non-profit) is supporting the mobilisation launched by Gabriele and his family. There will be a demonstration in front of the prefecture in Catania on April 20th, at 5pm.

“Rally for me!”: huge response to Del Grande’s appeal

Redattoresociale.it - At 6pm this evening the journalist’s hometown of Lucca will launch the protests demanding his release. On April 20th it will be the turn of Bologna, Milan (where a planned demonstration gathered 1,700 attendees in just a few hours), and Venice. On the 21st it will be Pisa. And then there are the appeals, petitions and posts on social media, all with the hashtag #iostocongabriele (I stand with Gabriele). This afternoon there will be a press conference at the Senate.

Call for the Immediate Liberation of Gabriele Del Grande

We express our deep concern regarding the events which have effected the Italian journalist Gabriele Del Grande since April 10th. He remains detained by Turkish authorities in a detention centre for foreigners on the border with Syria.

Gabriele was arrested for breaching an administrative law, following which Turkey should have expelled him from national territory.
