<div>My name is Mirco Olivieri and while I was returning home after a party with friends, during Word Pride in Sydney organised by the LGBTQA+ community, I intervened to help a young gay boy from a homophobic attack.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The boy in question stood against a wall while two men were bullying and threatening him. Seeing this, I intervened asking these "men" to leave him alone and consequently one of the two (the larger man) pushed me making me fall and I was injured in the fall.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I was shocked as I had never seen or experienced homophobic violence in Sydney (I left Italy to escape this type of violence).
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>So, I got up to fight them and prevent them from hurting the young boy again, but the two perpetrators attacked me again, and I reacted in shock.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Sadly, I wish I hadn’t, as I was charged in the first instance with an affray. After two months of anxiety and stress, I was convicted, sentenced to 2 years probation, and have a criminal record for ten years. Despite my lawyer’s arguments that I am of good character and had been the victim of homophobic attacks and trauma throughout my adolescence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to my naivety, I called the police, hoping they would arrest the two men responsible for this homophobic attack on a poor defenceless boy. The boy that was attacked was not allowed to make a statement to the police.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I felt depressed, and that my life was falling apart, I felt disheartened as I had never experienced homophobia in Australia prior to this incident.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I work to support myself and facing the first trial had a very high cost and now I will have to somehow find another $11,000 (€7,000) to face the appeal in the District Court and move forward with my life.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I ask for help with sadness in my heart because I don't want to ask for anything, but I have no other choice to face the appeal.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I attach the link for the donation, thank you all, Mirco.

<div>——————————————————
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi chiamo Mirco Olivieri e mentre tornavo a casa dopo una festa tra amici, durante il Word Pride a Sydney organizzato dalla comunità LGBTQA+, sono intervenuto per soccorrere un giovane ragazzo gay da un attacco omofobo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Il ragazzo in questione era in piedi contro un muro mentre due uomini lo intimidivano e lo minacciavano. Vedendo ciò sono intervenuto chiedendo a questi "uomini" di lasciarlo in pace e di conseguenza uno dei due (l'uomo più grosso) mi ha spinto facendomi cadere, e durante la caduta mi sono ferito.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sono rimasto scioccato perché non avevo mai visto o sperimentato violenza omofobica a Sydney (ho lasciato l'Italia per sfuggire da queste situazioni).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi sono rialzato per fermarli e impedire loro di ferire nuovamente il ragazzo, ma i due assalitori mi hanno nuovamente attaccato e ho reagito impaurito e scioccato.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Purtroppo vorrei non averlo fatto perchè sono stato accusato di rissa. Dopo due mesi di ansia e stress sono stato condannato a 2 anni di libertà vigilata e a dieci anni di fedina penale sporca, nonostante le argomentazioni del mio avvocato secondo cui evidenzia quanto io non sia una persona violenta e tantomeno aggressiva. Io in quel momento ho solamente aiutato una persona indifesa essendo stato anche io durante la mia adolescenza vittima di attacchi e traumi omofobi. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A causa della mia ingenuità ho chiamato la polizia sperando che arrestassero i due uomini responsabili di questo attacco omofobo ma, assurdo, al ragazzo aggredito non gli è stato permesso rilasciare dichiarazioni alla polizia e io sono stato fermato e poi portato via.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi sentivo depresso e la mia vita stava andando in pezzi, ero scoraggiato perché non avevo mai sperimentato l'omofobia e questo trattamento in Australia prima di questo incidente.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lavoro per mantenermi, affrontare il primo processo ha avuto un costo molto alto e ora dovrò nuovamente trovare altri 11.000 dollari (7.000 euro) per affrontare l'appello in tribunale distrettuale e andare avanti con la mia vita.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Chiedo aiuto con la tristezza nel cuore perché non vorrei chiedere nulla, ma non ho altra scelta per poter affrontare l'appello.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Allego il link per la donazione, grazie a tutti.
