ROME. The address where he is under house arrest in Budapest “published on a Hungarian far-right site” with “the special dedication and the offer of a ‘welcome little something'”. These are the threats addressed to Ilaria Salis according to the complaint by democratic jurists, designated international observers at the ongoing trial of the Lombard teacher who has been detained in Hungary for over thirteen months and has been under house arrest in the Hungarian capital for a few days.
“A predictable and foreseen effect, we believe, which makes what happened in the courtroom on May 24th of unprecedented gravity”, when the judge read Salis’ ‘secret’ address aloud, add the Democratic Jurists in open letter to the institutions and Italian diplomatic representations in Hungary, with an invitation to pay attention and mobilize to protect Ilaria Salis. “The safety of Ilaria Salis is a priority that we must all necessarily bring to the attention of the public and the competent authorities. What has unfortunately already happened and continues to threaten Ilaria is unacceptable – underline the Democratic Jurists – and requires immediate intervention, precise and efficient protection of one of our compatriots already severely affected by inhuman and degrading state treatment and today exposed by the judicial authority itself to the danger of being subjected to other harmful and degrading treatments at the hands of neo-Nazi militants”. “For this reason we ask that our authorities finally and promptly take steps in every possible way to protect Ilaria’s dignity and safety in Hungary, in the hope that she can get out of this nightmare and that country in the shortest possible time, returning to a Europe worthy of this name, because she was elected to the European Parliament, to which she was nominated by the Alleanza Verdi Sinistra, and in any case in implementation of the Framework Decision of the Council of Europe for the application of alternative measures to detention in the country of origin of EU citizens”, they conclude the Democratic Jurists.
