Sala was detained on December 19 while in Tehran, where she had arrived on a journalist visa on December 13. Iranian authorities have stated that Sala's case is currently under investigation. However, Italian officials have condemned Sala's arrest as "unacceptable" and are working to free her and bring her back home. According to some sources, there has been speculation that Iran may be seeking to exchange Sala for another individual, although this has not been confirmed.
We hope that (the lawyer) will be able to do so in the next few days and that he will be able to know the exact charges as soon as possible.
Journalism is not a crime. Let's bring Cecilia Sala home.
