Roberto Saviano
Just read the story on this guy Roberto Saviano on the frankfurtpig blog. I was first a bit puzzled as the petition page is only in Italian so I went further and started searching the net. It turns out there is a lot of coverage - I found this article in the Belfast Telegraph the most interesting, but there are tons of more articles - for example in the International Edition of the Spiegel.
However the most shocking thing is, the guy is only 28! And he cannot go out for a drink or enjoy reading the newspaper or act as a free person like everyone else. If I were 28 and could not walk around freely, I don't know what I would do.
I have signed the petition on the website, if you want to also, go to http://www.sosteniamosaviano.net - if you do not speak perfect Italian like me, you can try reading the automatically translated version

thanks Gaborno! And the guy was born in 1979, which makes him 27, so basically at my same age this guy has already written a great book, shaken a lot of mud and is thretened by the camorra. Sometimes I feel a bit useless...
