Cecilia Sala said on her first podcast
Thursday after her return Wednesday from three weeks in Tehran's
notorious Evin Prison that she had not been told why she had
been arrested.
"They didn't explain to me why I ended up in an isolation cell
in Evin Prison," said the 29-year-old Roman journalist on
Choramedia.
"This story begins with the fact that Iran is the country I most
wanted to return to, where there are the people I've grown most
fond of.
"You try to have a shield from the suffering of others that you
accumulate and sometimes sources you meet for work become
friends, people you want to know how they are and Iran is one of
these places".
Iran said Sala had committed unspecified offences against
Islamic law.
She was arrested three days after an Iranian engineer wanted on
US terror charges was detained at a Milan airport.
