leave the mimosa trees and close the camps of state, special places of violence against women migrant . Testimonies from the camp of Corelli on hunger strike and anti-racist solidarity with Turin
A Corelli, after days of hunger strike detainees and prisoners began to be weakened and debilitated. Some girls in the department were made trans fluid infusion and one had been taken to hospital. The detainees have made the request to be weighed and constantly monitored by medical personnel, as is customary during each hunger strike, but this, in the center of Corelli, is not the case. However, despite the difficulty, the inmates continue with determination, supported also by the solidarity of the anti-racists who continually bring water and juice in the center and continuously keep in touch.
too Rome twenty inmates continue the strike. Managers bring their food and sends it back. Some who had started the strike itself a few days before the others are now 10 days not eating and are very reliable. Unlike in Milan inmates seem to be weighed and monitored regularly but the new successor to the Red Cross in the cooperative management of the center does not allow the sympathetic lead juices and drinks from outside. Each inmate is only supplied with one liter of water per day divided into two half-liter bottles, one in the morning and evening. And only with this carry on their struggle. In Turin, while the strike continues rolling.
Bologna instead is a special case. After two days I had not heard from inside the inmates have responded to calls of solidarity. The strike was interrupted after the first day, except for an inmate who continues her hunger strike in solitary, for personal reasons. The reason for this difficulty is Simply said: This species is in fact a practice that seems to drug tranquilizers with the food of the prisoners, to the point that every time you call them respond completely numb and asleep, no matter what time of day when they are feel.
Here are some statements collected from sections of the trans species of Corelli:
"We are 20 people who are doing a hunger strike. In every room we are in 4 people. The walls are full of mold sheets are changed once a week while the sheets are never changed. Every 15 days give us a bubble bath. In the evening we must clean the room with the broom and the bucket. The windows have no curtains so early in the morning light comes. We are obliged to put the blankets on the window to sleep. The bathroom is disgusting. It 's very dirty. The drains are all clogged, we do need to force our feet. At 8 and a half in the morning we take a glass of milk and a croissant. We can not drink hot things if not with the machine for a fee. The food is very poor, often bring us the turkey. We who have the silicone can not eat turkey. For this reason many of us have come to the sides inflammatory breast implants in the buttocks. When we go to the red cross for our health problems give us tranquilizers to take away the pain, but these drops make us sleep. When we have too much pain we give paracetamol.
"My name [...] I'm here for a week. I immediately started a hunger strike because we can not stay here six months. They are also HIV positive, I had to do blood tests to see which medicines are taken instead been brought here and I blew up the visit. I had three days of fever. I was so bad that they took me to hospital for an intestinal blockage to the polyclinic. After that I brought back to Corelli always without medication for HIV. I am in Italy for nine years, I became ill in Italy and I can not stay in here. We need to keep and maintain our family to the country. We want our freedom because we have not done anything and we need to stay in here without being able to do anything. There is a psychologist who is in once a week, but so in the end we always give 30 drops of Valium or sleeping on ... and then we become all employees. "
"I had a very serious accident out of here. I was still being treated with physiotherapy and yet I have taken and taken to the species. I had fractured the left shoulder blade the femur and knee. Here I often wound to the leg becomes inflamed. I go to the infirmary, give me just a moisturizer. Many of us have been taken in Pisa, who comes to visit us is entitled to 7 minute interview after 5 hours of travel ... everywhere is full of cockroaches and worms in the toilet and shower. The police mistreat us, treat us like dogs, they insult us by saying that we are all gay, sexist jokes to us. When we say things that are going well give us slaps in the face, for whatever attack us and treat us as if we as human beings, with total contempt. We know that Christmas has run a trans committed suicide in here ... there's a girl in four months that saw what happened when the girl committed suicide and now is totally freaked out, because a normal person can not survive in here, and many see as the only exit death ... There are people with psychiatric cases and we all live together in a conflict situation, with different diseases all in here together and we are forced to live with different diseases, even in prison is like this. "
and testimony from the women's ward:
"My name [...] I'll tell you my story. I arrived in Italy as a tourist because I really liked this country. The last time the police stopped me, I have asked permission to stay. I had only seen as a tourist but I have brought to the police station where I was 3 days and then in Corelli. I have taken on January 26 in my pocket and the biglietto dell’aereo per tornare in Brasile il 16 febbraio…beh son ancora qui. Ora dovrò uscire da questo paese come una criminale, scortata dai poliziotti. Non immaginavo che in Italia potesse esistere un posto come questo. Mi sento inutile, sto molto male. Ci trattano come animali, e questo è solo l’inizio… dovremo fare sei mesi in questo inferno per poi uscire di qua con un’espulsione per dieci anni.
Chiediamo a tutti che ci ascoltino che anche se ci dicono clandestini siamo gente di buon cuore. Siamo venuti in cerca di una vita migliore. Stiamo facendo lo sciopero per fare capire alla gente che siamo esseri umani e abbiamo il diritto di vivere qua come tutti gli altri e that there can not take away your freedom. There should be other ways to get this piece of paper without going through this hell. It really is an unjust law, I do not know who invented it and we will not respect it. For us the only option we have is to fight. "
