Xukunka iyo hadalka saraakiisha
Maxkamadda Rome ayaa maanta xukuntay saddex masuul oo amniga Masar ka shaqeynayay inay 10 sano xabsi ku xiranayaan, kadib markii ay la xiriiraan dilka macallinka Talyaanka ah ee Giulio Regeni, halka masuulka afaraad la aqbalay. Xukunkani waa tallaabo muhiim ah oo ku timid baaritaanka 10-sano ah ee la doonayay in la helo waxa ka dhacay.
Saraakiisha Rome ayaa sheegeen in xukunkani uu yimid iyadoo aan la helin iskaashi sax ah oo ka yimid dowladda Masar, balse ay ku faraxsanyihiin in la gaaray natiijadan. Masuulka ugu sarreeya ee baaritaanka Rome, Francesco Lo Voi, wuxuu yiri: 'Waan ku faraxsanahay inaan ka baxnay xaaladda adag ee xukunku ku jiray.'
Taariikhda dilka iyo baaritaanka
Giulio Regeni, macallin 28-jir ah oo ka socday Jaamacadda Cambridge, wuxuu ka baxay magaalada Caabiro 25-kii bishii January 2016, isagoo baaritaano ku sameynayay ururada ganacsiga ee Masar. Jirkiisa ayaa la ogaaday saddex maalmood kadib, waxaana la arkay cadowga iyo dilka.
Masuuliyiinta Rome ayaa ku eedeeyay saddex masuul oo Masar ka tirsan inay Regeni dilteen, halka saddexaad ay ku eedeeyeen inay ka qayb qaateen dilka. Masuulka afaraad, Magdi Ibrahim Abdelal Sharif, wuxuu lahaa eeddo dheeraad ah oo ku saabsan dilka Regeni.
Iskaashiga iyo khilaafka labada dal
Xaaladdani waxay noqotay mid ka mid ah khilaafka ugu weyn ee u dhaxeeya Talyaanka iyo Masar, iyadoo baaritaanku uu ku jiray dhibaatooyin badan oo ku saabsan iskaashiga iyo xogta la baarayay. Masuuliyiinta Rome ayaa sheegay in Masar ay xog muhiim ah ka xakameysay baaritaanka.
Qoyska Regeni ayaa 10 sano ku jiray baaritaanka, iyagoo codsaday 'xaqiiqo iyo aduun'. Talyaanka ayaa ku guuleystay inay maxkamadda u gudbisay baaritaanka iyadoo aan masuuliyiinta la soo bandhigin, taasoo ka dhigan inay noqotay mid aad u adag.
A Rome court on Monday handed down 10-year prison sentences to three Egyptian security officials convicted of aggravated kidnapping in the 2016 abduction of Italian doctoral candidate Giulio Regeni, while acquitting a fourth defendant of murder in a landmark verdict after a decade-long legal battle.
Verdict Delivered in Absentia Trial
The three defendants — Hisham Helmi, Athar Kamel Mohamed Ibrahim and Magdi Ibrahim Abdelal Sharif — were sentenced to 10 years each for their roles in Regeni's abduction, though they were not convicted of his death. Sabir was acquitted of all charges. The trial proceeded in absentia after the defendants remained in Egypt and never appeared before the Italian court.
Rome's chief prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi welcomed the outcome, stating the verdict was reached despite a lack of 'meaningful cooperation' from Egyptian authorities during the investigation. He told reporters, 'We are satisfied for having brought the case out of the quagmire into which it had risked sinking.' The ruling represents the most significant judicial milestone in the decade-long quest for accountability over Regeni's death.
Regeni's Disappearance and Torture
Giulio Regeni, a 28-year-old doctoral candidate at the University of Cambridge, disappeared in Cairo on 25 January 2016 while researching independent trade unions in Egypt. His body was discovered nine days later on the outskirts of the capital, bearing signs of extensive torture, according to Italian investigators. The case quickly became one of the most contentious issues in Italy-Egypt relations.
Italian magistrates accused Egyptian authorities of withholding key information requested through international legal channels, an allegation Cairo rejected. The proceedings faced repeated delays because the defendants remained in Egypt and never appeared before the Italian court. Italy's Constitutional Court ultimately cleared the way for the trial to proceed in absentia, allowing hearings to begin in Rome despite longstanding disputes over notification of the accused.
A Decade of Advocacy and Solidarity
For Regeni's family, the case became a decade-long campaign for accountability. Their calls for 'truth and justice' drew broad support across Italy, where yellow banners bearing Regeni's name became symbols of solidarity and demands for answers over his death. The ruling marks the most significant judicial milestone yet in a case that has repeatedly tested relations between Italy and Egypt and drawn international attention to human rights concerns in Egypt.
In June, prosecutors had sought a life sentence for Sharif, whom they identified as the man who physically carried out the killing, and prison terms of 17 years and six months for Sabir, Helmi and Ibrahim. The final verdict, while not matching the initial prosecution requests, remains a pivotal moment in the pursuit of justice for Regeni and a testament to the resilience of his family and supporters.
