A meeting was held Thursday at Rome's
State attorney's office between prosecutor Sergio Colaiocco,
Italy's ambassador to Egypt Giampaolo Cantini and a legal
representative for Giulio Regeni's family to discuss new
evidence in CCTV footage from Cairo's metro that is being
examined by Egyptian prosecutors in a probe into the Italian
researcher's torture and murder in Egypt early in 2016.
The footage was recorded along the route taken by the
Cambridge researcher before he vanished in the night of January
25, 2016.
The family's lawyer, Alessandra Ballerini, on Thursday also
expressed "great concern for the security" of Egyptian
consultants involved in the investigation in Cairo.
Meanwhile a hunger strike started by Regeni's mother Paola is
continuing with a number of participants taking turns to demand
the release of Amal Lofty, wife of Mohammed, the executive
director of the Egyptian Commission for Rights and Freedom
(ECRF) and a consultant for the Regeni family, who was arrested
on May 10.
She was ordered to serve an additional 15 days in prison on
Thursday.
