A tragic incident involving Satnam Singh, a 31-year-old Indian migrant farm worker in Italy, has sparked widespread outrage after he was left on the street with severe injuries from a farm accident and later died. Singh's death has become a symbol of the plight of vulnerable migrant workers, leading to demonstrations and calls for systemic changes in labor practices. Singh was reportedly working without a proper contract or residence permit and had been with the same employer for two years. The incident has prompted investigations into the farm owner for potential manslaughter and has drawn condemnation from Italy's Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. In response, trade unions and the Indian community in Latina are mobilizing to demand better protections for workers and to address the broader issues of exploitation in the agricultural sector.
