Ilaria Salis is "enthusiastic" at the
prospect of getting out of jail, her father Roberto said after
the antifascist's longstanding request for house arrest in
Budapest was finally granted on Wednesday. "Ilaris is
enthusiastic about being able finally to leave prison and we are
extremely happy that we will be able to finally re-embrace her,"
he told ANSA in the latest development in the case of the
39-year-old Monza elementary school teacher on trial for
attacking two neoNazis in February last year. Salis, who denies
wrongdoing but is facing a lengthy prison term for attempted
murder, has been in prison for over 15 months and her detention
conditions have caused controversy and protests in Italy,
especially after she was repeatedly led into court on a chain
with her hands and ankles cuffed. "She isn't out of the well
yet, but it will certainly be great to be abkle to hug her again
after 15 months, even though I won't feel completely at ease as
long as she is in Hungary," said Roberto Salis.
