There is no deafness worse than that of a person who doesn’t want to hear: after the judgment Citraro and Molino v. Italy, another occasion in which the Italian Government does not adequately protect the health and life of a prisoner with psychiatric problems. The defenders, before it is too late, appeal to the ECtHR and obtain an urgent measure pursuant to art. 39 of the Regulation
Abstract. The reflection compares the stories of two prisoners suffering from psychiatric problems: Antonio Citraro, who committed suicide in prison almost twenty years ago, whose parents recently obtained a conviction of the Italian Government by the ECHR, and another inmate in risk, whose life is not adequately protected, while a tortuous affair before the Supervisory Judiciary does not seem to find an outlet. And it’s not COVID’s fault.
SUMMARY: 1. Suicide in prison: madness. – 2. The judgment Citraro and Molino v. Italy. – 3. One name, two people, many similar stories. – 4. Practicing for for a different ending. – 5. An important decision.
