In 2014 former staff reporter for The Law Society Journal Mary Rose Liverani, the author of Bitel’s ‘father of [Australia’s] Bangladesh community’ November 2002 LSJ article said she wanted ‘10 Sicilians, mainly women’ to file a complaint against the Italian state at the Court of Human Rights for breaching the European Convention on Human Rights for the right of a citizen to live in a prosperous economy and to be provided with an adequate education.^[1].

On 22 March 2015 under the banner ‘Time to rescue Sicily and together regenerate Europe’ Liverani campaigned to raise £50,000 in 90 days via the crowdfunding website chuffed.org for her court action.^[2]
