Protests spread across Italy as police detain 371, including 110 minors
Protests have spread to multiple Italian cities, with 371 people taken to police stations, including 110 minors, though most demonstrations occurred without serious incidents. Clashes broke out near Rome's Colosseum, police charged protesters in Turin, and water cannons were used in Bologna. Milan saw the largest security deployment, with 500 soldiers sent under the "Safe Streets" operation amid fears of riots like last weekend's unrest near Piazza del Duomo. Authorities arrested Youssef Siher, a 30-year-old Italian-Moroccan journalist, accusing him of inciting violence via Instagram. Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi warned of immediate state response, while a new decree criminalizes violent protest participation and expands preventive detention for minors.
