A new appeal to bring Ilaria Salis from Budapest back to Italy comes from Rome. During a press conference in the Senate promoted by Ilaria Cucchi, the father of the young anti-fascist militant - of Sardinian origin - accused of having attacked some neo-Nazis during the demonstrations on the Day of Honor, spoke.
«Citizens need answers from the institutions. We have never had them in recent months – said Roberto Salis -. My daughter faces up to 24 years for causing injuries that healed in 5 and 8 days. We ask politicians to do something. Ilaria is forced to eat with her hands and was unable to speak to us until September 6th. Now we get to hear her a couple of times a week for a few minutes. In the cell there are bedbugs, cockroaches and mice."
The man ( HERE IS THE VIDEO OF THE FIRST APPEAL ) also read a text that Ilaria sent to her lawyer: «I was tormented by bed bug bites for the first three months which caused me allergic reactions but I did not receive antihistamines or cream", he wrote among other things.
For Senator Cucchi, «it is important to talk and make known what is happening in Ilaria and a committee has also been created. There was a deafening silence on the part of the government - he underlined -. We don't want to think that there are political reasons so we will move forward. She is not asking to avoid the trial, but to serve house arrest here in Italy. It's time the government looked at this situation. And tomorrow Minister Nordio will respond to an Avs question time on Ilaria's case."
The 39-year-old teacher was offered an 11-year plea deal, which she rejected.
