March 31, 2015. That was the legal deadline for the much-awaited closure of Italian judicial psychiatric hospitals (OPGs), barbaric structures that former President Giorgio Napolitano defined collectively as an "extreme horror, inconceivable in any civil country". Almost six months have passed since that day, and yet 230 mentally ill patients are detained in the five still-operational OPGs. Antigone strongly adheres to the appeal launched by the Stop OPG campaign: non-complying regions must be put under compulsory administration in order to ensure the immediate closure of all OPGs.
