During the discussion Members have spoken and Fabio Porta Marco Fedi, elected abroad both in the ranks of the Democratic Party.
The two MPs have referred to the plight of many Italians held abroad, as well as to several hostages in the hands of kidnappers in various parts of the world.
"Often the condition of an Italian prisoner abroad and 'the limits to the more' basic rules of international civil law - supported the Hon. Porta - sometimes for the lack of bilateral agreements with Italy, for the other objective conditions of the prison (I think, for example, in many countries of South America). "
"should not be forgotten either - added the Italian deputy elected in the South America Division - who are still held hostage by kidnappers or armed gangs in South America and in Africa."
Compared to all these situations the Chairmanship of the Committee decided to entrust its Hon. Bring a separate report to be submitted in the coming months.
