A group of Italian students waved a
Palestinian flag from the Leaning Tower of Pisa on Friday.
The raid was carried out by by some fifteen students belonging
to 'antagonist' anticapitalist movements who broke into the
Tower of Pisa, overcoming controls, and displayed a giant
Palestine flag from the world's most famous bell tower.
They also lit a couple of smoke bombs before descending. No
damage was reported.
According to what the police reconstructed, the studnets acted
at the end of a pacifist procession of about 500 people that
this morning went through the main streets of the centre to
Piazza dei Miracoli, where Pisa's cathedral and bell tower are
located.
The raid lasted a few minutes and ended in an orderly manner.
