A trade unionist has called for a crackdown against “barbaric exploitation” after an Indian farm worker died when he was allegedly being left on a road by his employer following an accident that severed his arm.
Satnam Singh, 31, was injured on Monday while working on machinery on a farm in Latina, a rural area close to Rome with a large community of Indian immigrant labourers.
Singh, who came to Italy with his wife three years ago, was allegedly left with his arm severed on the road outside his home in Borgo Santa Maria.
Police said they were called by his wife and an air ambulance was sent to transport him to San Camillo Forlalini hospital in Rome, where he died of his injuries on Wednesday.
His Italian employer is under investigation for manslaughter, violation of workplace safety regulations and failure to provide aid.
I beg to differ considering anyone that wasn’t roman was a “barbarian” to them. They didn’t judge you on skin color like people do nowadays, but they were still xenophobic and racist as fuck.
Ironic username!
I don’t understand which definition of “racist” you’re using here, but OK. Romans didn’t care what colour you were, as long as you were educated and spoke good Latin. They even had two Maghrebin emperors.
They definitely cared
