Regeni, even the British government asks Egypt transparency – The Republic

London – Truth and transparency. It is what also calls Egypt the British Foreign Office on the case of Julius Regeni, the young Italian, a researcher in Cambridge, massacred in Cairo. He reports the Times newspaper, adding that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in London – driven to act by a petition brought to Britain in academic circles and signed so far by 10 thousand people – has urged Egyptian counterpart to the full and transparent investigation “.”

“We have raised the case with the Egyptian authorities in both London and Cairo, stressing the need for full and transparent investigation,” confirmed a spokesman for the Foreign Office. “We remain in contact with the Italian authorities and those of Egypt, while our thoughts go out to Mr. Regeni and his family at this difficult time,” he said.

Gianni Pittella , President of the Socialist and Democrat group in the European Parliament, involving the European Union and asks to review relations with Cairo: “We demand that the European Commission reconsider its relations with Egypt, as well as doing rightly l ‘ Italy. “

the fact that the game should be enlarged international all’imbito and go play on the diplomatic chessboard is what I think also the president of Copasir and member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate Giacomo Stucchi . “It is now clear that from the point of view of the investigation there was a stop sign and a lack of cooperation that go to affect the findings in perspective on the kidnapping and murder of Julius Regeni” said Stucchi to transmission microphones “Voices morning “Radio1 Rai. “Therefore, at this time the only way forward, with strength and determination, is the diplomatic one. In this sense, today’s talks with the Ambassador Massari are important because Italy can not be putting your feet in the head by Egyptian government. Let us remember that Italy was the first country to recognize the government of Al Sisi, with the visit of President of the Council Renzi and then must ask with strength and determination that respect and friendship that, in words, the Cairo government says so much about wanting to keep for us. but the game is being enlarged to other actors on the international stage. I think especially to France, we must not remain isolated but anchored to an international strategy. of course, it is not easy to reason with Al Sisi . we can not accept that it takes this kind of behavior towards our country and a guy that represented the research community and Western scholars. If this case is treated by our authorities so different from that of the marines? Certainly, compared to the marines there was a greater commitment. This does not mean that even in that case were not made diplomatic actions. But they have been insufficient. It could and should do much more. “

Egypt” has not closed “the case of Regeni death and cooperation with Italy” will continue, “he said, as reported by Arab media , the Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukry who assured that Cairo “will provide” in Rome “all the information” except one “unconstitutional”: an obvious reference to the Italian request for records of telephone conversations around the house and the place of the discovery of the corpse of the Friulian researcher. Speaking at a press conference held with his Burundian counterpart, the head of Egyptian diplomacy has argued that his country “has responded to all requests except for Italian one that contrasts with the Egyptian constitution. “Shukry also expressed Cairo’s desire to” ensure transparency “indicating all away” the issue will require long time. “
