Milan, January 3 (LaPresse) – "The situation of our daughter, Cecilia Sala, detained in a prison in Tehran for 16 days, is complicated and very concerning. To try to bring her home, our government has mobilized its full efforts, and now, in addition to the work of the Italian authorities, confidentiality and discretion are also necessary.
In these days, we have felt the affection, attention, and solidarity of Italians and the media world, and we are very grateful for everything being done. However, the stage we have reached is very delicate, and there is a sense that the extensive media debate about what can or should be done risks prolonging the process and making a solution more difficult and distant.
For this reason, we have decided to refrain from comments and statements and appeal to the media to observe a media blackout. We will be grateful for the sense of responsibility that everyone will show in respecting this request."
This was stated in a note by Elisabetta Vernoni and Renato Sala, parents of Cecilia Sala.
