Sergio D'Elia (born 5 May 1952 in Pontecorvo, Italy) is an Italian politician, activist and former left-wing terrorist, now a human rights' supporter and advocate of non-violence.[1]


D'Elia spent 12 years in prison for his affiliation to the terrorist organization Prima Linea; in 1986 he abandoned the armed struggle and Marxist ideology by adopting a left libertarian position, and soon joined the Radical Party (a socially liberal and libertarian political organization).[1]


Then, he founded in Rome (1993), with his first wife Mariateresa Di Lascia, Marco Pannella and former EU commissioner Emma Bonino (all politicians of Radical Party), the non-government group Hands Off Cain ("Nessuno tocchi Caino"), which fights against the death penalty and torture in the world.[1]


The great success of D'Elia and HOC was the United Nations moratorium on the death penalty (2007), proposed by Italy's government.[2]


He was an Italian Parliament member from 2006 to 2008.[3]
