Student Protester Beaten by Riot Police in Naples, Italy

On November 15, 2013 over 4,000 Italian students took to the streets in protest of crumbling societal structures, devastation of natural resources, for the right to housing, the right to education accessible to all and against the future of exploitation.

The protest started on Piazza Del Gesù in Naples and proceeded toward the Department for Environmental Policies. There they were met with force from riot police.

Most protesters ran and took refuge in nearby University, but at least two were arrested and treated in Naples’ Loreto Mare Hospital after receiving brutal beatings from the cops.

We don’t tend to see many videos from Italy on Best Gore so here’s one to make up for it. It appears to have been filmed from a balcony overlooking a scene of an assault on a protester by riot police.
