(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 15 - Ilaria Salis is "enthusiastic" at the
prospect of getting out of jail, her father Roberto said after
the antifascist's longstanding request for house arrest in
Budapest was finally granted on Wednesday.
"Ilaris is enthusiastic about being able finally to leave prison
and we are extremely happy that we will be able to finally
re-embrace her," he told ANSA in the latest development in the
case of the 39-year-old Monza elementary school teacher on trial
for attacking two neoNazis in February last year.
Salis, who denies wrongdoing but is facing a lengthy prison term
for attempted murder, has been in prison for over 15 months and
her detention conditions have caused controversy and protests in
Italy, especially after she was repeatedly led into court on a
chain with her hands and ankles cuffed.
"She isn't out of the well yet, but it will certainly be great
to be abkle to hug her again after 15 months, even though I
won't feel completely at ease as long as she is in Hungary,"
said Roberto Salis. (ANSA).
