Italy arrests protest organizer under new security decree, raising press-freedom concerns

Italian authorities arrested a journalist who created a social media movement after riots, charging them with leading mobilizations with terrorist purposes under Meloni's new security decree. The arrest occurred before any further protest activity, and the decree's broad language allows prosecution of those who merely incite continued street action. This marks a notable tightening of legal tools against protest organizers and journalists, raising concerns about civil liberties and press freedom.
