Student and youth organizations have been on the streets of Italy demanding justice for Lorenzo Parelli, who, while working as an intern for a private company, died when a steel girder fell on him on January 21. The students have blamed an exploitative school reform of 2015 which implemented a mandatory internship for students responsible for his death.
