You can read it all in Italian here, and in (broken) English here (If the English link fails you, use the Google translator).

Please don’t forget to also sign the petition letters set up by HAMSA! (Here and here).

To Kareem’s Italian supporters: Grazie infinite!

Update (17/Feb/2007): Thanks to our fellow Italians, the petition now has over 2,000 signatures.

Now I know who to cheer for during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
