Tension at anarchist protest in Venice

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 25 - There were moments of tension during an unauthorized anarchist protest in Venice on Saturday as demonstrators made their way back from the Frari church to Piazzale Roma.
    Around 40 anarchists shouted slogans against Italy's tough 41 bis prison regime and in solidarity with the jailed Italian hunger-striking anarchist leader Alfredo Cospito, followed by police in riot gear. Some 700 police officers were deployed in the lagoon city from early morning in readiness for the unauthorized protest, which had been organized in solidarity with Juan Antonio Sorreche Fernandez, a 45-year-old Spanish anarchist sentenced at first instance to 28 years by the Court of Treviso for the 2018 bombing of K3, the rigt-wing League party's headquarters in Villorba.
