01/28/2005 Lorenzo Guadagnucci, giornalista del Resto del Carlino e impegnato nel Comitato Verità e Giustizia per Genova, scrive ai rappresentanti della GAD del centro-sinistra, per esprimere la forte delusione per non aver preso una forte posizione contro la tortura in occasione dell'udienza preliminare del processo che riguarda gli innumerevoli abusi compiuti fra il 20 e il 22 luglio 2001 nella caserma di Bolzaneto, alla periferia di Genova. "Avresti potuto, cara Gad, almeno dichiarare il tuo solenne impegno ‘ in caso di vittoria alle prossime elezioni ‘ ad approvare una seria legge sulla tortura: l’Italia è l’unico paese europeo a non prevedere questo reato nel proprio ordinamento. Avresti potuto aprire una franca discussione sullo stato dei diritti civili nel nostro paese, sempre citato nei rapporti di Amnesty International per i maltrattamenti inflitti a fermati e detenuti, per il pensoso stato delle carceri e ‘ appunto ‘ per gli abusi compiuti dalle forze dell’ordine durante il G8 di Genova. Avresti potuto dire che senza verità e giustizia sui fatti di Genova la nostra democrazia resta monca, menomata nella credibilità. Avresti potuto annunciare il tuo impegno a varare nella prossima legislatura una commissione parlamentare d’inchiesta. Avresti potuto fare e dire molte cose. Invece hai taciuto".
