Overview
- During a Jan. 10 march in Milan supporting Mohammad Hannoun, protesters hurled insults at Il Giornale’s Giulia Sorrentino and drove her away, with chants of “fuori i sionisti” captured on video.
- The demonstration drew about a thousand participants and was organized by pro‑Palestinian and leftist groups along a route from via Giacosa to piazza della Repubblica.
- Hannoun is in custody in a Genoa prosecutor’s probe that accuses him of financing Hamas, a case that has become a flashpoint for recent rallies.
- Senate President Ignazio La Russa and Chamber President Lorenzo Fontana joined ministers and MPs across parties in condemning the intimidation and expressing solidarity with the reporter.
- Journalist associations including Giornaliste Italiane and Movimento Liberi Giornalisti denounced the threats, and coverage reports no arrests while urging authorities to identify the aggressors.
