Summary

Italian police in Brescia face allegations of degrading treatment after seven female climate activists from Extinction Rebellion claimed they were forced to remove their underwear and perform squats during questioning.

The activists, detained after a protest against Leonardo, an aerospace company, accused police of singling out women for this treatment.

Police denied misconduct, stating the procedure was to search for dangerous objects.

The incident has prompted calls for an investigation from opposition politicians amid debates over a controversial security bill targeting climate activists with harsher penalties.

    It’s your loose interpretation of “it’s standard” that’s tripping you up. US case law has no relevance on what’s standard in Italy.

      From the summary:

      The activists, detained after a protest against Leonardo, an aerospace company, accused police of singling out women for this treatment.

      Any other arguments that are D.O.A?

          Lol, doesn’t read the summary, uses overly broad terms and then points the finger at someone else.

          Are ya sure?
