Hands off Cesare Ottolini! Hands off Housing Rights Activists!

Statement of Solidarity

May 16, 2018

Cesare Ottolini, the Global Coordinator for the International Alliance of Inhabitants (IAI) is currently facing political persecution for successfully thwarting the unjust eviction of Migrant families. He has been charged by the Court of Padua, Italy with “aggravated private violence” and could face up to four years in prison.

The IAI is a network that has brought together housing rights and urban poor activists to resist the attacks of neo-liberal globalization and its ill effects towards the shelter situation.

Ottolini has been engaged in helping many movements across the globe to continue the struggle for the right to shelter. He is not a criminal and nor should he be treated as such. His situation is not uncommon from what we face in the Philippines as organizers of Kadamay are being tagged as terrorists and subsequently arrested simply for organizing against corporate backed demolitions of communities.

Kadamay, with all its chapters and affiliates across the Philippine archipelago denounce this blatant act of persecution against Ottolini. We pledge our solidarity in the campaign demanding for the charges against him to be dropped.

We maintain our charge against neo-liberal aggression and forced evictions. #ZeroEviction

KADAMAY, Philippines
