My first message from the hospital.   hello everybody! this is my very first post and i am doing it from the hospital computer in genoa. i am still very weak but today, the doctors took out all of the pipes and tubes and i have been able to take my first short walk around the hospital ward. i am enourmously taken aback by all the messages of get well and of solidarity and you all give me more strength every day. italy. indymedia, the doctors and the people of genoa have been extraordinary kind. last night, i gave a six hour statement to state proscutors and a judge. i am now under the protection of the italian judicial system and cannot be deported. i have denounced the carabineri forces and the interior minister and will be bringing charges against the authorities for what they did that night to me in battitista. the few of us left here are asking the movement to demand the overturning of all of the deportation orders that were issued last week, so that all of the injured, tortured and arrested can come back and give evidence to the judge that is investigating what happened. i must go now, but i hope to come back to the uk on thursday as soon as i have the strength. in solidarity Marcus Sky. add your own comments
