Amnesty International Italy has taken a significant step in advocating for civil rights by organizing a seminar series titled 'Police and Human Rights.' This initiative is a response to growing concerns about police conduct in the country, especially in the context of recent government policies and social movements. The seminar aims to equip participants with knowledge about their rights when interacting with police and the principles governing the use of force and firearms by law enforcement officers.

The course is structured into seven lessons, beginning with an introductory session followed by a detailed examination of when and how police can utilize force and firearms, addressing the accountability mechanisms that should be in place. This educational effort comes amid ongoing criticism of the Meloni government's handling of civil liberties and a push against legislation that many see as infringing on individual rights, such as the anti-Semitism bill and the security bill.

Through interactive exercises, research material from Amnesty, videos, and self-learning resources, the program seeks to foster awareness around human rights and equip citizens with tools for self-defense against potential police overreach. The initiative signals a clearer stance from Amnesty in addressing local issues while promoting fundamental human rights, aiming to empower citizens to engage with law enforcement with confidence and understanding.
