Tehran – “The commitment of the international community for the release of Ahmadreza Djalali, the Iranian researcher at the Eastern Piedmont University, held in the Evin prison in Tehran, who would risk the death penalty. We learned that the Italian Ministry of foreign affairs is moving through its channels with the competent Iranian authorities while the High Representative for European foreign policy, Federica Mogherini, directly and through the Dutch embassy in Tehran, is engaged so that we can rapidly come to a positive solution to the affair. Meanwhile, we can say that in recent days was carried out the first hearing of the trial of Djalali and that others will follow, and that, at the time, we do not have any confirmation of a death sentence. This while the petition for his release, launched on Change.org, has already collected about 200 thousand signatures”. This was announced by Senator Luigi Manconi, president of the Human Rights Commission of the Senate, and Senator Elena Ferrara, who are following the case closely. (9colonne)
