DEVILISH RULE IN ITALY.
TORTURE FOR OPPONENTS OF MUSSOLINI. HOMES LAID WASTE. (■By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyrigit.) (Received This Day, 8.55 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 4. I The general situation in Italy is • going from bad to worse, declares Signor < Eosselli, who is visiting London. The best proof that the Fascist regime has not got the country’s support is that Mussolini cannot govern without the terrible and exceptional laws passed in 1926-. Signor Rosselli asserts that the prisons throughout Italy, es peeially in the south, are full of people,- their only crime being that they .are not in sympathy with the present regime. They are subjected to mosi shocking tortures, the latest being to tie prisoner in a chair and strike him heavily and repeatedly over the heart with a rubber-covered hammer. Reprisals against the families of antiFaacists have now become part of Italy’s legal system, says Signor Rosaelli. Thousands of Italian homes have heen ransacked and the furniture destroyed in front of the helpless women folk.
