Cecilia Parodi case

ITALY

IJL is participating as a party in criminal proceedings against Cecilia Parodi, a prominent public figure and Instagram personality. The case stems from her antisemitic attack on Holocaust survivor and Senator for Life Liliana Segre, in which Parodi stated: “I hate everyone – all Jews, all Israelis, from first to last. I hate everyone who defends them – all journalists, all politicians, all collaborators, all cowards. I hate you all. Why did you ruin the world? You have robbed us of every right… If one day I see you all hanging by your feet – and Piazza Loreto is not enough, we need Tiananmen Square – I swear I will be in the front row spitting on you.”

Advocate Cristina Franco, representing IJL, has filed a legal complaint based on laws prohibiting incitement to racial hatred and incitement to commit crimes motivated by racial, ethnic, and religious discrimination. The case is ongoing.
