SITUATION IN ITALY
TORTURE OF PRISONERS
FASCIST TERRORISM
(Deceived sth December, 10 a.m.)
LONDON, 4th December.
"The general situation in Italy is going from, bad to worse," declares Signor Roaselli, who is at present visiting London. Tho best proof that the Fascist regime has not got the country's support is that Mussolini cannot govern without the terrible, exceptional laws passed in 1926." Rosselli asserts that the prisons throughout Italy, especially in tho south, are full of people. "Their only crime is that they are not in sympathy with the rcgiuio. They are being subjected to tho most shocking tortures. The latest is to tie a prisoner in a chair and strike him heavily and repeatedly over the heart with a rubber-covered hammer. Reprisals against the families of anti-Fascists have now become part of Italy's legal system. Thousands of Italian homes have been ransacked, and tho furniture destroyed in front of helpless women.
