Negotiations continue to bring Cecilia Sala back to Italy.
The journalist arrested in Iran has not yet been charged with any crime, the Farnesina explained, while Sala is still being held in solitary confinement in Evin prison , usually used to detain political dissidents.
The United States has recently asked Tehran for the "immediate and unconditional release" of all prisoners that the regime - Washington claims - uses as "political leverage".
Meanwhile, the hypothesis of a prisoner exchange is gaining traction. In exchange for the release of the Italian reporter, Iran could ask for the handover of 38-year-old engineer Mohamed Abedini Najafabadi, arrested in Malpensa at the request of the US and for whom Washington has already requested extradition. For its part, the 38-year-old's lawyer has announced his intention to request house arrest.
