The Italian embassy in Hungary knew
about the treatment suffered by Ilaria Salis, the 39-year-old
Milan primary school teacher and antifascist militant who on
Monday was dragged in chains into a Budapest court where she is
on trial for attacking two Hungarian neoNazis a year ago, her
father claimed on Tuesday.
"I believe the Italian Embassy has participated in at least four
court hearings in which my daughter appeared in these conditions
before the judge," Roberto Salis told Agora on Rai3.
"We had no evidence of the treatment our daughter was undergoing
until October 12, when she wrote a letter," he continued.
"The only ones who knew and said nothing were the people at the
Italian embassy in Hungary," said Salis, adding that he was due
to meet with the Italian ambassador in Hungary on Tuesday
morning.
"I expect some action, we have had many talks," he continued.
"This is the first time I have had the pleasure of speaking with
the ambassador. "Evidently in these 11 months he has had much
more onerous commitments than taking care of my daughter,"
concluded Salis.
