IMMIGRATION SCANDAL - ARRESTS

On September 8th I mentioned an article that had appeared in L'Espresso* about immigrant agricultural workers - many of them illegal - being treated like slaves on the mainland. The incredibly brave journalist, Fabrizio Gatti, had worked among them in order to expose the scandal. [If you missed that post, there is an English version of the article here. Be warned; it is shocking and upsetting.] Today I am able to tell you that, according to an article in La Repubblica*, there have been some arrests with regard to this appalling situation.

This is one of the most shocking and distressing stories I have read, I shall post on it too later, with your link. I hope those guilty of so many atrocities will face justice as a result of this article, please keep me posted.

This is so sad...

When will the world learn to treat others as we our selves want to be treated?

This I know, They will pay for their sins against men. We are all created equal. I am ashamed of the world I look upon today.

Love to all.....
