#egypt #italy Yesterday the Italian highest court decided de facto that the #regeni trial cannot continue; hence putting a stone on chances for justice for Regeni and for the thousands who have gone through the same tortures that the young Italian experienced before being killed.
The italian court(s) decided not to proceed not to violate the rights to fair trial of the 4 defendants, all high ranking intelligence officers from #Egypt. Due to the explicit lack of cooperation by Egypt a fair notification could not be delivered; a trial in absentia is unfair.
Investigation was complete, facts established, identiy of defendants established, yet the trial could not proceed.
While the #righttofairtrial ought to be respected and blind application of human rights law does not deliver #justice (that is the main purpose of the law).
