ITALY-ENVIRONMENT-WRITER-TRIAL-TRAIN

Supporters of Italian writer Erri De Luca and "No Tav" activists (No Tav, means No to high-speed train) demonstrate on January 28, 2015 outside the courthouse in Turin. Erri de Luca was sent to trial for saying an environmentally controversial train link should be "sabotaged" plans to make freedom of expression the centre of his defence. The writer has to answer a charge of incitement to commit a criminal act over 2013 interviews in which he was quoted as saying a proposed new link through the Alps "should be sabotaged" and that he thought "it is just to sabotage it." In theory, the 64-year-old writer could be sent to prison for between one and five years if found guilty. AFP PHOTO / MARCO BERTORELLO (Photo credit should read MARCO BERTORELLO/AFP via Getty Images)
