Italian police on Thursday arrested
11 anarchists from the Turin anti-capitalist squat Askatasuna
and other militant 'social centres' in connection with a
February 8 assault on the Turin headquarters of Italian
industrial employers' group Confindustria.
The 11 have been charged with grievous bodily harm, resisting
arrest and violence.
The 11 'antagonists' allegedly tried to break into the office of
the Unione Industriali using sticks and firecrackers and
throwing objects.
After throwing red paint onto the outside of the building, the
demonstrators broke down the entrance door and got into the
offices, but police managed to stop their assault.
Six Carabinieri and one police officer were hurt in the attack.
The incident occurred in a march against work experience in
Italy after the deaths of two students on the job, Lorenzo
Parelli and Giuseppe Lenoci.
