Italy has the whole of Europe
"at its side" in its bid to find the murderers of Giulio Regeni,
found tortured to death outside Cairo, the EU's High
Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini said
Friday. She said she had met with Egyptian Foreign Minister
Sameh Shoukry and told him of the "very great concern of all
Europe for what happened to Giulio in Cairo, and our expectation
that full light is shed (on his death)". "It is not acceptable
that what happened to Giulio Regeni should happen to a young
European researcher, and that there should be doubts on the
possibility of establishing the truth," she said. Mogherini said
Shoukry showed "great awareness of the importance the case has
for Europeans and for relations between Europe and Egypt".
Regeni, 28, a Cambridge doctoral student, was found dead with
signs of torture on his body in a ditch February 3 after
disappearing January 25.
