Adnkronos (Adnkronos) –
A cultural mediator of Lebanese origin, born and raised in Como, Sagia Hammoud, 32, married to Youssef Siher, the man arrested in Milan on terrorism charges, is under investigation for the same crimes. According to investigators, the couple manages the Telegram chat and the social media page "Movimento 17 ottobre," which was created after the devastation that struck the city center eight days ago.
Her activism on behalf of the pro-PAL movement is well-known in Milan: “I am Lebanese, Palestinian, and Arab by origin,” she writes about herself.
“I am passionate about Palestine, reading, writing, music, collage, painting, and every conceivable form of political art,” and among her favorite words is “Umma, literally translated as 'community' and derived from the Arabic word 'mother': this word refers to the importance of mutual support and close dependence between the different members of a single large organism, society.
I believe community well-being is a prerequisite for individual well-being,” he adds in his biography on a website.
On Instagram there is a text written with her husband about the death of Ramy Elgaml, 19, who died during a police chase on the night between November 24 and 25, 2024 in the Corvetto neighborhood of Milan.
"The state's killing of Ramy represents the tip of an iceberg rooted not only in the repressive management of the suburbs, but also in the dominant narrative conveyed by politicians, the media, and broad sectors of civil society, in a general context permeated by intolerance toward the 'other.' The outskirts of cities have been transformed into places of confinement and control, where the presence of racialized minorities is systematically criminalized."
