(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 12 - Yehia Elgaml, the father of 19-year-old Ramy who died on November 24 while being chased by Carabinieri police in Milan, called for peaceful demonstrations in memory of his son on Sunday, a day after protests in Rome and Bologna against his death turned violent.
    "When there are people who stage demonstrations to demand justice and truth for my son, they must not cause disruption or do bad things", he said.
    "Please, stage calm, peaceful demonstrations", urged Elgaml, commenting clashes between protesters and police officers in Rome and Bologna, where the local synagogue was also vandalized.
    Elgaml also expressed "confidence" in the Italian Republic and in President Sergio Mattarella.
    "We live under his umbrella", he said of the head of State, "not only Italians, but also immigrants and foreigners". (ANSA).
