G8:Carlo was Executed

Below is the English version from the British Indymedia site which makes a good case that Carlo Giuliani was deliberately executed and that the police did not feel threatened.

The photos are from an english freelance photographer, Ryan Alford. The photos were published 2 days ago on our site http://www.repubblica.it/gallerie/online/politica/uccisione/index.html and today they are re-posted on the website of Radio Sherwood. http://www.sherwood.it/ The series of 15 photos show the sequence of the shooting of Carlo Giuliani. This for Luca Casarini, the spokesperson for the 'Tute Bianche' (White Overalls) "Radically changes dynamic of the homicide."

The leader of the 'Centri Sociali' of the Northeast leafs through the photos and he interprets them: " the images, more than anything, show that the jeep containing the carabinere was not at all isolated, but that 15 meters away was a platoon of carabinere who observed the whole scene. Moreover, the extinguisher that, according to the carabinere, Carlo was about to throw onto the jeep, in truth, which is shown in one of the photos, was thrown by the carabinere who went on to shoot from inside the jeep. In that moment - Casarini continues - Carlo drew back, stood still, watching the scene. Therefore, before Carlo picks up the extinguisher, the carabinere has already got the gun in his hand and is pointing it at another protestor, who manages to distance himself. Only when Carlo picks up the extinguisher does he probably realise there is a gun pointing at him. "

Casarini then also speaks about new witnesses, not demonstrators that, Friday afternoon were in Piazza Alimonda, Genoa when the young person was shot and killed. These persons declare and are ready to also do so in court, that the police officer kicked out the rear window of the jeep before throwing out the extinguisher ".

From here the new protests of the 'Tute Bianche' want clarity: " It is really important that the counter enquiry about the dramatic death of Carlo Giuliani goes ahead. This is already a response to the government of Berlusconi which is trying to cover up the truth. Many important videos, eye witness reports and photographic documents have been sent to us about the events that took place in Genoa and the foul deeds committed against the demonstrators. The sequence of 15 photos of the killing of Carlo is an example of this and proves that the jeep was not at all isolated, two carabinere on foot called for reinforcement and also, being less than 30 meters away, they remained stationary and did not fire tear gas. After the shot, moreover, the jeep only moves a few meters ahead, where reinforcements were waiting. Therefore, if they were so near after the shooting why was it necessary to shoot?" (28 July 2001)
