Italy passes law letting police detain protesters up to 12 hours ahead of Olympics, citing security fears.
Italy has enacted a new law allowing police to detain suspected protesters for up to 12 hours before rallies, following a violent protest in Turin that injured over 100 officers and led to nearly 30 arrests.
The measure, introduced ahead of the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, also strengthens penalties for pickpocketing and youth gangs, bans knife sales to minors, and expands self-defense rights for law enforcement and civilians.
The government cited security concerns, including potential protests against U.S. security personnel, while opposition leaders criticized the law as an overreach that threatens constitutional rights.
The decree takes effect in the coming days.
