'Culture channel of hope for truth' - Christillin on bicentenary

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 20 - Evelina Christillin, president of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, said Wednesday that she had received a "marvelous message" for the bicentenary of the world-famous institution from the parents of Giulio Regeni, 28, a Cambridge university doctoral researcher into Cairo street unions who was allegedly tortured to death in 2016.
    Christillin said on the sidelines of celebrations to mark the event that Paola and Claudio Regeni had been invited but couldn't attend due to a hearing the previous day of the Rome trial in absentia of four Egyptian intelligence officers accused of torturing to death the Italian student.
    "What we would like to stress is that perhaps the cultural bridge is the only one able to maintain any hope for the truth" to emerge, said Christillin, adding she did not want to make "political considerations" on the case.
    Christillin also recalled that the museum's room showcasing artifacts from the village of Deir El Medina has been dedicated to Giulio Regeni. (ANSA).
