Sardinian separatist leader dies after two-month-long hunger strike in jail![]() Doddore Meloni The 74-year-old Sardinian independence campaigner, Salvatore "Doddore" Meloni, died in a Cagliari hospital Wednesday after a two-month-long hunger strike in jail. Meloni was put in jail April 28 to serve time for tax evasion (he denied all charges). He was one of the best-known leaders of Sardinia's independence fight. It's the only case about a man over the age of 70 arrested for minor financial crime in Italy. It was found the flag of Sardinia and the Bobby Sands' biography book in his prison cell (the member of Irish Republican Army who died on hunger strike while imprisoned). |

A state murder of an old man with a troublesome ideology for Italy's Status Quo. |

Hunger strike kills Sardinian separatist Salvatore Meloni The Sardinian independence campaigner starved himself to death this week in a gesture inspired by the sacrifice of Bobby Sands, the IRA hunger striker, and for a cause few other people believe in with such passion. An affable man with a bushy white moustache, Mr Meloni, 74, devoted much of his life to Sardinian independence. The former lorry driver was given a nine-year prison sentence in the 1980s for conspiring in a separatist plot against the state, allegedly with support from Colonel Gaddafi of Libya. |

Amnesty International asks for clarity about this sad and abject event to the italian authorities. http://www.unionesarda.it/articolo/cronaca/2017/07/09/doddore_l_appello_di_amnesty_sia_fatta_piena_luce_sulla_morte-68-621210.html |

The last picture of Doddore alive, arrested and handcuffed like a criminal, by italian police. Shameful, nobody in Italy has never been arrested for a supposed tax evasion at 75 years old, neither the true criminals.
