G. cannot find any good reason for his detention inside a centre for migrants because he sees himself as Italian. He is also concerned about his CIE detention because he suffers from serious epilepsy, an illness that he considers to be incompatible with the structure of Turin’s CIE. G. was highly distressed and he could not understand the reason why the authorities do not believe that his father was Italian, why the burden of proof laid on him, and why he has not been able to find anyone capable of helping him to get recognition of his own identity. Aside from G.’s “Italian blood”, he also finds it quite unreasonable that a baby born in Italy from foreign parents is not granted Italian citizenship on the basis of a ius soli principle. ● ● ● 90 | P a g e
P A R T E : C O N C L U S I O N XV. BETWIXED AND BETWEEN “History shows that it is not only senseless and cruel, but also difficult to state who is a foreigner.” - Claudio Magris “Recognize yourself in he and she who are not like you and me.” - Carlos Fuentes This research report has been a long and emotionally draining task that has taken nine months and hundreds of volunteer hours to research and produce. There were eight people directly involved in collating and writing the report and between us there were representatives from four continents and six countries. As might be expected from such a diverse group, we also had distinct and strong opinions, styles and perspectives on our subject of study, differences which we believe made this report stronger and more rigorous. Our report aims to be empirically sound and thorough at covering different aspects of the situation concerning Turin’s CIE and we believe that by interviewing a broad cross-section of people we have gone some way towards achieving our goal. Our one regret is that we were unable to interview any of the CIE staff or the State authorities. Although these issues have already been extensively discussed over the course of our report we believe it important to reiterate some of the most important points that our research uncovered. Notwithstanding any problem we raise about conditions of detention, we would like to emphasise that our examination of these contingent issues in no way derogates from our overarching suggestion that the wider purpose and functioning of the administrative detention system and the existence of immigration detention structures must necessarily be examined in the most stringent and immediate manner possible. In particular, our investigation revealed the following problems: I. Detainees do not take part in all extension hearings, despite the Corte di Cassazione’s rulings in cases number 4544/2010, 10290/2010, 13117/2011, 13767/2011, 9596/2012 and 10055/2012. II. III. The current Italian legal aid guarantees do not include extra support for special cases where external consultants such as doctors or psychologists are needed to visit detainees or to write reports. Full linguistic assistance is not granted as a matter of right throughout the whole legal procedure. While there are interpreters during the hearings, in the pre-trial stage the lack of professional interpretation can impede access to justice because it infringes on the opportunity to seek legal advice and express informed instructions to a lawyer. 91 | P a g e
