ITALY - Italian political cause-fighter Marco Pannella dies

Firebrand former Italian Radical Party leader Marco Pannella has died at the age of 86.
His party reported his passing, after Radical Radio reported he had been hospitalized a day earlier, allegedly in a serious condition. Known for his hunger strikes, Pannella rose to fame in the 1960s and 70s. He was at the forefront of postwar campaigns to legalize divorce, abortion, the right to die, the legalization of marijuana and other social change in staunchly Catholic Italy.
