Memory marathon falls through for security reasons -Di Segni

(see related) (ANSA) - ROME, JAN 23 - The president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities (UCEI), Noemi Di Segni, said Tuesday that the annual Marathon for Memory in remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust has fallen through "for security reasons", denouncing the fact that neo-Fascists can instead "demonstrate freely".
    "For security reasons we have not been able to organize the marathon for memory," said Di Segni, presenting the programme of events sponsored by the Prime Minister's Office for International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Saturday.
    "Those who raise their arms in the Fascist salute and the extreme-right squadristi of the social centres are free to demonstrate, as if protected by a constitutional freedom," she continued.
    "It is aberrant that citizens cannot run freely," added Di Segni, demanding that attention be paid to the "commitment to consistency".
    "Two cities in Calabria" were involved in organizing the marathon, she concluded. (ANSA).
