The parents of Giulio Regeni on
Friday told ANSA they were "wounded and embittered by the
umpteenth attempt at a cover-up on the part of the Egyptian
authorities" and they were "certain of the firmness with which
our government will react to this outrageous set-up". They noted
that their son was "barbarically" killed after being "abducted
in Cairo exactly two months ago, after which his body was
discovered after eight days of torture". Cairo authorities have
said Regeni was the victim of a kidnap gang whose five members
were killed Thursday. Regeni's parents went on "we are certain
of the firmness with which our government will react to this
outrageous set-up which, furthermore, cost the lives of five
people, just as we know that the institutions, our prosecutors
and individual citizens will not leave us alone to ask and
demand truth. That is owed not only to Giulio but to the dignity
of this country".
