Today, early in the morning asylum seekers and refugees were demonstrating in front of the CARA (centre for refugees and asylum seekers) of Rome-Castelnuovo di Porto.

Protesters were claiming for better live conditions and for the 2,5 euros per day that the State granted to them till a new cooperative (called Auxilium) won the management of the place and stop to pay.

Cops attacked the pacific demonstration, beating people and arresting 2 men and 4 women, one of them pregnant.
