Imagine your 15 years old son just went to a party to celebrate the name day of his friend and never returns because a police officer shoot him, or your friend who sold newspapers in the near of a demonstration, gets beaten up by police men what causes his death. From the police and in the mainstream media we then hear of “isolated cases”, often the victims get even discredited and after a short time its all forgotten and everyone returns to his/her daily routine, including the responsible police men, who in the nearly almost of these cases get not charged for their killings!

The following list is to remember all the deaths, to tell them by their name, to make visible and remember that they are not “isolated cases” and to make clear to the responsible instituations that we don’t want to forget about them!

• Carlo Giuliani
