Black Block Page #4

---

another police officer arrived.

He picked up a fire extinguisher

that was beside me

and he sprayed my whole body

with it.

And as my face was covered in blood

and I had a lot of open wounds

the powder from the extinguisher

stung like hell.

I managed to get close to

a radiator and I had

lots of people around me.

It was quite a protected position.

All of a sudden I looked up

and looked into the eyes of

a police officer

who started hitting me.

I tried to shield myself

with my arms as best I could

and he was hitting me in the back.

Around me people were covered

in blood.

Then was a very young Italian girl

who was hysterical and shouting.

The police came in running

and they immediately got the first

person and hit them right in the face

with the grip of the Tonfa.

They looked like a herd

of wild boars on speed.

It was a battering of constant blows.

I don't think it went on

for more than thirty seconds

otherwise I wouldn't

have been able to survive.

The only scene I can remember

is of an officer who kept kicking me

in my ribs and stomach.

I couldn't breathe

and I seriously thought

I would die from lack of oxygen.

A savage beating.

The most violent one I've experienced,

without a doubt.

All my ability to resist

was engaged in those minutes

and I didn't know how long

I would resist.

Then the blows stopped.

So I opened my eyes.

And the scene that I saw

was dramatic.

Then all I know is that I came round

and then was blood everywhere,

above me, in front of me...

I'd never seen so much blood

in all my life

and I never want to again.

I thought the person in front of me

was dead.

He lying in a huge pool of blood

coming from his head

and it was getting bigger.

The only words I said to the woman

next to me were:

"He's dead, isn't he ?"

I thought:

"Nothing matters now,

they're going to kill me anyway".

By then I'd accepted the fact

that I wouldn't survive.

Then they threw me on top

of more people

who were lying on the floor

covered in blood

and I remember wondering

if they were dead or alive

because they weren't moving

or talking.

And I couldn't even get off them,

my arm was pressing against

my broken ribs

and it was almost impossible

for me to move.

Then I realized that my legs

were moving up and down by themselves.

I saw that someone along the corridor

was having the same convulsions

and so I calmed down

because I thought that maybe

it was normal in those conditions.

A few at a time, the police officers

started going down the stairs

and they started going

onto the other floor.

So I was able to see

the rest of the corridor.

It was a truly devastating scene,

there were people everywhere
