Italy's New National Defense Act Tightens Penalties
Rome May 10 A new national defense act aims to curb subversion by banning organizations seeking to overthrow the social order. Founders and members faced five to ten year prison terms with fines up to 609000 lire. Heavier penalties apply for handling explosives and for subversive propaganda or insurrection in the armed forces. Sedition can be seized, and police may suppress circulation. The death penalty applies for destroying military, rail, postal, bridges, or mines, or for joining or aiding armed bands against the state. Civil and political rights are stripped from the accused, with trials to be held by departmental tribunals whose verdicts are not appealable.
