Statement by Palazzo Chigi on the release of Cecilia Sala

An aircraft bringing Italian journalist Cecilia Sala home departed from Tehran a few minutes ago.
Thanks to intense work involving diplomatic and intelligence channels, our fellow citizen has been released by the Iranian authorities and is on her way back to Italy. The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, expresses her gratitude to all those who have helped make Cecilia’s return possible, allowing her to embrace her relatives and colleagues once again. President Meloni personally informed the journalist’s parents during a telephone call a few minutes ago.
