This includes Francesco Caruso, one of the leaders of the 'disobeddients'.
Elsewhere a trial opened today in the Veneto against 33 other activists
connected to the Disobeddienti, including Luca Casarini. They are not
charged with the type of thought crimes that characterise the Cosenza
investigation. the prosecution relateds to conflictual demonstrations that
took place during Haider's visit to Jesuolo and Venice, and the defence of
the social centre 'Rivolta'. The events took place in 2000.
None of them are being held in detention during the trial.
