Saman's mother arriving in Italy

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 22 - The mother of Saman Abbas, an 18-year-old Italian-Pakistani woman killed by her family at Novellara near Reggio Emilia in 2021, is scheduled to arrive in Italy on Thursday afternoon.
    After landing at Rome's Fiumicino airport, Nazia Shaheen, 51, will be taken to jail.
    Shaheen was given a life sentence by a court in Reggio Emilia in December after being found guilty in absentia of her daughter's homicide, along with the husband, Shabbar Abbas.
    She was arrested in May in Pakistan after fleeing Italy following the murder committed on the night between April 30 and May 1,2021, and an international arrest warrant had been issued against her.
    After her arrest in Pakistan, she agreed to being extradited to Italy.
    The father, who was also sentenced to life by a court of first instance, was extradited to Italy a year ago and is behind bars.
