Patrick Zaki still remains in prison: pre-trial detention renewed
“Yesterday there was no interrogation, but only a renewal of his detention. The last interrogation took place on July 13, which was the first since his arrest in February 2020, but has not been interrogated since then” he writes. Lobna Darwish, a representative of “Eipr”, the NGO for the defense of human and civil rights for which Zaki was a researcher. “We still do not know what that interrogation was aimed at, but we fear it was a way to prolong, even more, his detention and his suffering”, Darwish merely added, commenting on information circulated yesterday about “investigations” that were the subject of the investigation. hearing held in those hours.
In thanking the Foreign Ministry “for the wonderful news of Izram Nazih’s release from Moroccan prisons” Emanuele Fiano, of the presidency of the Democratic Party group in the House, says: “Now let’s put even more strength for the release of Zaki please.”
While Riccardo Noury, spokesman for Amnesty International Italia, insists: “I renew the request to the Italian government to express condemnation for the serious fury against Patrick and to use these other 45 days to finally do all the necessary pressure. What has been done so far, that is to send observers to the hearings that, moreover, are not even allowed in, it is useless. The parliamentarians who voted in the House and in the Senate for Italian citizenship in Patrick are pressing the Draghi government, since it is the government they support that acts “.
