Ilaria Salis again in chains, her friends threatened outside the court
Ilaria Salis is back in the Budapest courtroom again in chains: this is how the new hearing began against the 39-year-old Milanese teacher who has been in prison in Hungary for 13 months on charges of attacking three far-right militants.
Outside the court, however, the girl's family and friends, including the cartoonist Zerocalcare, were threatened by a group of neo-Nazis.

“They were waiting for us and they insulted and threatened us in Hungarian” declared the lawyer Eugenio Losco. “Shut up or I'll break your head” the neo-Nazis allegedly said outside the Budapest court.
The letter from prison: “I am in a black hole”
Just recently, Republic And Tg3 they released a letter that Ilaria Salis wrote during detention: “I open my eyes and see me curled up on the gray blanket, with my gaze fixed on the iron door of the cell.

All the same.

“The months – he writes – are long and it happens that the bubble turns into a black hole that sucks you in. Borrowing a metaphor that I will read several months later in a beautiful comic dedicated to my experiences, I fell into a very deep well. The walls are slippery and every time I laboriously try to take a short step to go up just a little, I always end up falling deeper. Sometimes I wonder if this well has a bottom and if there really is an exit somewhere.”
