ai generated text
Italian journalist Cecilia Sala, 29, was detained in Tehran on December 19. Sala was producing podcasts in Iran on a regular journalist visa. Italy has requested her immediate release. Sala is reportedly being held in a cell without a mattress and was arrested on charges of breaching Islamic law.
The government, as it has from the first day of Cecilia Sala's arrest, is working tirelessly to bring her home, and we demand that all her rights be respected.
The government is working constantly to bring [Sala] home and we demand that all her rights are respected. Until she is freed, Cecilia and her parents will never be left alone.
Cecilia is the latest victim of the Islamic Republic's increasingly brazen hostage diplomacy. The IRGC went looking for Italians, and they found her. It's beyond time that the EU and all western democracies start to take this growing geopolitical threat seriously.
