“GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE.”
Fascism In Italy. SIGNOR ROSSELLI’S INDICTMENT. (United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON. December 4. The general situation in Italy is going from bad to worse, declares Signor Rosoelli, at present visiting London. The best proof that the Fascist regime has not got the country’s support is that Signor Mussolini cannot govern without the terrible, exceptional laws passed in 1926. Signor Rosselli asserts that the prisons throughout Italy, especially in the south, are full of people, their only crime being that they are not in sympathy with the regime. They are subjected to the most shocking tortures, the latest being to tie a prisoner in a chair and strike him heavily and repeatedly over the heart with a rubbercovered hammer.
Reprisals against the families of anti-fascists have now become part of Italy’s legal system. Thousands of Italian homes are ransacked. and the furniture destroyed in front of the helpless women.
