Anti-Mafia Commission Chair Rosy
Bindi said after visiting ailing former Cosa Nostra boss of
bosses Totò Riina in a Parma hospital Tuesday that He is "in
continuous conditions of treatment and assistance which, to say
the last, are identical, if not better, than those he might
enjoy if freed or under house arrest, in which he is amply
assured the right, above all, to a dignified death and thus,
when it happens to die in a dignified manner, unless one wants
to postulate the existence of a right to die outside prison
which is not recognised by the law". Bindi and members of her
panel visited Riina after the supreme Court of Cassation said he
was entitled to a dignified death and instructed a detention
review court to say whether he should be freed, sparking
protests from the relatives of his many victims.
