人質解放願いローマでデモ 市民が自発的に行動
【ローマ29日共同】イラクで人質になったイタリア人3人の家族が一刻も早い解放を願って呼び掛けた「市民デモ」が29日、ローマで行われた。約3000人が参加した。
デモは、米軍の攻撃で多くの死傷者が出ているファルージャのイラク人への連帯も表明。多くの市民が「個人の立場」でデモに参加するなど、悲しみに暮れる家族の訴えに動かされた市民の自発的な行動となった。
「テロリストとは交渉しない」という立場だった最大野党の左翼民主党や緑の党は有志での参加に切り替え、世論に同調する姿勢を見せている。
中東の衛星テレビは26日、人質の映像とともに、イタリア軍のイラク撤退を求める大規模デモが5日以内にローマで起きなければ人質全員を殺害するとの犯人側の声明を流していた。

Italians demand hostages' release
Hundreds of Italians have taken part in a peace march in Rome calling for three hostages held in Iraq to be released.
The rally was organised by relatives after a threat that the men would be killed unless protests were held against Italy's presence in Iraq.
A fourth hostage, Fabrizio Quattrocchi, was executed earlier this month.
In St Peter's Square, a representative for the Pope read out a message calling for the hostages' release "in the name of the one God who will judge us all".
"The Pope invites everyone to pray to God, who loves every person and does not want the death of anyone, for a happy ending to this painful episode," said the Vatican's foreign minister, Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo.
The BBC's Brian Barron in Rome said marchers applauded when the message was read out.
As many as 10,000 people attended the march - a reasonably healthy turn-out given the concern surrounding it, said our correspondent.
The mainstream political parties had agreed not to attend as they did not want to be seen to be capitulating to the kidnappers' demands.
Italians had been told to demonstrate en masse for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq within five days or the hostages would be killed.
ome politicians said they would attend the march in a personal capacity.
'Opposed to violence'
Paola Feretti, a 52-year-old woman from Tarquinia, near Rome, told the AFP news agency she attended because she was "opposed to violence".
The march started from Castel Sant' Angelo, a landmark near the Vatican, and finished in St Peter's Square.
"This is a demonstration for peace and it must not become political, because it is an initiative which has grown out of the families' desire to see our boys released," Antonella Agliana, sister of the hostage Maurizio Agliana, told AFP before the event.
Salvatore Stefio, Umberto Cupertino and Maurizio Agliana, who were all working as security guards for a US-based company, were taken hostage on 12 April.
Mr Quattrocchi, 36, who was captured with them, was killed two days later. His murder was filmed and broadcast on some television channels.
The Italian government, the third largest coalition partner in Iraq, has ruled out withdrawing its troops.
