Five warders at San Gimignano Prison
were indicted Thursday for allegedly torturing inmates at the
high-security facility near the picture-postcard Tuscan city.
A Siena preliminary hearings judge charged the men with torture,
aggravated lesions, fraud, aggravated threats and abuse of power
towards a Tunisian inmate in solitary confinement on drug
pushing charges.
San Gimignano is a Medieval town also known as the 'city of the
beautiful towers', and a UNESCO world heritage site since 1990.
