A 31-year-old Indian farm hand who
was mutilated by farm machinery and left abandoned outside his
home at Latina south of Rome Monday with the lost arm resting on
a vegetable collection basket has died of his injuries in a Rome
hospital, medical sources said Wednesday.
The man, Satnam Singh, was part of the many mainly Indian
immigrant labouring gangs that work the fields in much of Italy,
but especially in the south, in slave-like conditions and on
pittance wages.
The centre-left Democratic Party (PD) urged the government to
take action to rid Italy of "agro-mafias" who run the migrant
laboring and gangmastering rackets.
