Evicted Rome immigrants throw gas tanks (4)

(ANSA) - Rome, August 24 - Around 100 immigrant squatters evicted Saturday from a building in Rome's central Piazza Indipendenza on Thursday threw rocks, bottle and gas tanks at police who were trying to move them out of gardens in the square. Two immigrants were arrested.
    One of them was arrested as he was giving an interview to La7 TV. The incident spurred cries of "shame, shame" from other immigrants.
    Most of the immigrants are Eritreans and Ethiopians. Fire hydrants were used against the immigrants evicted as women kneeled on the ground and raised their arms to stop being removed, crying "shame".
    One woman fell to the ground and was slightly hurt.
    After the clashes with police, the immigrants dispersed into streets adjacent to the nearby Termini central rail station.
