A procession in memory of Ramy Elgaml , in the streets he always frequented and where he lived with his family. The Corvetto neighborhood of Milan was dyed red and blue this evening, the colors of the smoke bombs lit during the torchlight procession in memory of the 19-year-old who died on his scooter during a chase with the carabinieri on the night between Saturday and Sunday. The procession started from Piazzale Gabrio Rosa, in the Corvetto neighborhood of Milan, where the boy lived and where several disturbances have occurred in recent days. Some of Ramy's friends displayed a large photograph of the boy and a banner signed by the Lambretta social center was also hung in the street with the words: " But what security? Truth for Ramy and Fares ."

At the start, the procession, which attracted at least four hundred people, took via Mompiani, where Ramy lived and his friends asked to walk in silence "out of respect ." "Many people," said a friend, "told us not to pass by here to avoid bad memories for his parents and brother. We decided to pass in silence: in memory of our friend ." The organizers added that "anyone with the slightest intention of making this peaceful torchlight procession turn into something violent can leave because they are not welcome."

The participants' walk then reached the place where the young man lost his life, at the corner of via Quaranta and via Ripamonti in Milan. Here those present shouted "justice, justice" and applauded both for him and for his friend Fares, still in a coma due to the injuries sustained during the scooter accident.
