Dead labourer's widow gets special stay permit

Soni Singh receives 'justice' document after severed arm death

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 21 - The widow of an Indian farm labourer whose horrific death has shocked Italy and raised calls to smash gangmastering on Friday received a special 'justice' stay permit to end her illegal status in Italy.
    Satnam Singh, 31, was dumped outside his hut outside Latina south of Rome on Monday with his arm, severed by a farm machinery accident, placed beside him in his strawberry picking basket.
    He died in a Rome hospital Wednesday after losing so much blood that it was impossible for him to recover from his injuries.
    His widow Soni, who was treated for shock after the incident, was granted the justice permit at the Latina passport office in Palazzo M, an M-shaped building built by Mussolini when he founded the two in 1932 after reclaiming the Pontine Marshes.
    Premier Giorgia Meloni said Singh, one of thousands of Indian immigrants who work the fields at Latina, was the victim of "inhuman acts".
    His employer Antonello Lovato has been charged with negligent manslaughter. (ANSA).
