Alessia Piperno, an Italian writer
and travel blogger who was held in Tehran's notorious Evin
Prison for 45 days in 2022, on Friday urged journalist Cecilia
Sala, who is now there having been arrested on December 19, to
hold on and sent a hug to her parents.
"I tell Cecilia Sala to hold on like I did for 45 days: in Evin
prison they don't physically harm us foreigners, but mentally
they wear you down a lot," Piperno told ANSA.
"I know what the terror of being alone in a cell means. I hug
her parents, I imagine their pain which is like what mine felt".
