Cutro massacre, a silent walk one year after the arrival of the first bodies in Bologna.

Il Comune di BolognaIn partnership with Islamic Community of Bologna, will remember the victims of Cutro massacre, one year after the arrival of the first bodies buried in the cemetery of Borgo Panigale.

The commemoration of the victims of the shipwreck will be held Sunday 10 March at 15pm, departing from the entrance in via Marco Emilio Lepido 60, with a silent walk that will cross the Borgo Panigale cemetery to the Islamic camp, where fifteen victims of the massacre rest.

At the end of the route there will be institutional interventions from the mayors of Bologna Matthew Lepore and Cutro Antonio Ceraso.

The remembrance will end with a religious function, celebrated by the president of UCOII, Yassine Lafram, in his capacity as imam.

«Remembering the victims of the terrible Cutro shipwreck is a necessary gesture, because we believe that this tragedy should not be removed but should instead continue to question us as a community, pushing us to act and welcome with humanity - declares Matthew Lepore, mayor of Bologna -. It will be a collective moment of closeness to the families of the victims and to make our voice and our pain heard for the too many people who still lose their lives today in search of a future, forced to leave their land and their loved ones".
