This morning the steps of the courthouse in Cagliari were crowded for the demonstration called by the Radical Party to demand justice for Beniamino Zuncheddu who has been held in prison for 33 years, despite always proclaiming his innocence, for the Cuili is Coccua massacre in Sinnai.

The protesters reiterated their demand that the review process be restarted. In addition to the lawyer Mauro Trogu, defender of Zuncheddu, the demonstration was also attended by Irene Testa, regional guarantor of people deprived of personal liberty, Maria Grazia Caligaris of the socialism rights and reforms association and the mayor of Burcei, Simone Monni.

«Today's is a generational testimony», reiterated the mayor, «which brings together people who lived through the sad story in which Beniamino was involved with those who then felt it as if it were the sad legend of a person who is paying for someone else's sins. By now Beniamino's name has become a symbol and symbols are able to bring people together."

In the meantime, the parole hearing for the Burcei prisoner should have been held, but it was postponed to November. «I am optimistic», then reiterated the singer Piero Marras who participated in the sit-in, «I expect an important and positive signal from Rome».
