Embassy knew about my daughter in chains - Salis' dad

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 30 - The Italian embassy in Hungary knew about the treatment suffered by Ilaria Salis, the 39-year-old Milan primary school teacher and antifascist militant who on Monday was dragged in chains into a Budapest court where she is on trial for attacking two Hungarian neoNazis a year ago, her father claimed on Tuesday.
    "I believe the Italian Embassy has participated in at least four court hearings in which my daughter appeared in these conditions before the judge," Roberto Salis told Agora on Rai3.
    "We had no evidence of the treatment our daughter was undergoing until October 12, when she wrote a letter," he continued.
    "The only ones who knew and said nothing were the people at the Italian embassy in Hungary," said Salis, adding that he was due to meet with the Italian ambassador in Hungary on Tuesday morning.
    "I expect some action, we have had many talks," he continued.
    "This is the first time I have had the pleasure of speaking with the ambassador. "Evidently in these 11 months he has had much more onerous commitments than taking care of my daughter," concluded Salis. (ANSA).
