Modena attack, El Koudri attempts suicide in prison

Salim El Koudri, the 31-year-old who hit 8 people in the center of Modena on May 16, killing a woman, attempted suicide in prison. He ingested drugs, was taken to hospital and his life is not in danger. "We are talking about this episode because the prisoner is known, but every 33 hours in this region a prisoner tries to kill himself. We must recognize their right to still be considered human, supporting them in moments of desperation. This takes nothing away from their responsibility and from the pain of the victims", says the guarantor for the prisoners of Emilia-Romagna Roberto Cavalieri.
