Four Migrants Burned to Death in Deliberate Arson Attack on Van in Southern Italy

Four migrants were found burned to death inside a van parked at a petrol station in Amendolara, in the southern Italian region of Calabria, on Monday. Surveillance cameras recorded two people setting the vehicle alight before they fled the scene. The victims had been working as fruit pickers under slave-like conditions in southern Italy.

The incident has prompted renewed national attention to labour exploitation in the country's agricultural sector. France 24's Seema Gupta reported from Rome on the case. The report was originally published as a video on the network's YouTube channel.
