Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano
on Wednesday published a message in memory of the Italian
researcher Giulio Regeni, who disappeared one year ago today in
the Egyptian capital.
The case of his kidnapping, torture and murder has not yet
been solved.
The message on the foreign ministry website said that "one
year after his disappearance, which occurred in Cairo on the day
on which Egypt was remembering its revolution, the tragic death
of Giulio Regeni is still an open wound not only for his family,
who remain in our thoughts, but for our entire country".
A large photo has been uploaded onto the opening page of the
ministry website for the day.
Alfano added that the search for truth "is not a private
affair. It is, instead, a collective requirement that Italy,
from the very first day, has strongly demanded and will not
cease to seek."
He said that the Italian foreign ministry will remain by the
side of the Regeni family, "whose strength and determination are
an extraordinary example of love for life, which they handed
down to their son Giulio."
The minister underscored that his death "deprives all of us
of a generous heart that could have done a great deal for
others".
