Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 24 - Satnam Singh, the Indian farm labourer abandoned by his employer after a strawberry wrapping machine severed his arm in Latina last week, died due to "copious bleeding", according to the initial results of an autopsy, sources said on Monday.
    Doctors tried in vain to save the 31-year-old's life for two days.
    The death of the Sikh farm hand has spurred outrage at gangmastering, which is widespread in Italy, especially in the south of the country, and modern forms of slavery.
    Unions, politicians and members of the Indian community staged a big demonstration calling for action on Saturday in Latina, a Mussolini-founded new town south of Rome that is home to thousands of migrant farm workers.
    Labour Minister Marina Calderone said Friday that it was "everybody's aim to declare war on gangmastering' after meeting unions and employers. (ANSA).
