In the name of legality, a large group of Moroccans - composed of men, women and children (some even in the ninth month of pregnancy) - was dismissed in late August of 2002 from Borgo Venezia, a peripheral neighborhood of Treviso. The North Africans had illegally occupied a number of apartments owned ATER (a local government body responsible for housing) and in front of the police and the bulldozers started to demolish the houses there, nothing they could do but leave the area. Without a roof, in a state of need, the Moroccans have found helpful in some belonging to a community center, which directed them to the town 'so that their situation was placed under the eyes of all.

The same reading of the Quran - become a code of civil life as well as religious - is proof.
