Salvatore 'Doddore' Meloni (arg.: unionesarda.it).

Meloni has twice been denied house arrest by the Italian Justice. That's why he went on a hunger strike. The death of the well-known Sardinian independence fighter is provoking numerous reactions in Italy and Sardinia, with some holding the Italian Government responsible. Libe.r.u. has been charged with judicial harassment of the independence leader. Members of the group (Lìberos Rispetados Uguales), for example, and consider this death as a state crime. The violation of the rights of the prisoner has been denounced and the Italian prison regulations have been severely criticized.

They're waiting for the autopsy results.
