The European Court of Human Rights has rejected the Renzi government's offer to pay compensation to the two inmates of the Asti penitentiary who were victims of torture at the hands of the police (a case brought forward by Amnesty Italia and Antigone).

Will this be a stimulus for finally approving the law that has been lagging in Senate for months?
