Giulio Regeni murder an ¡®attack on academic freedom¡¯

Organisers of a vigil for murdered PhD student Giulio Regeni have called on 바카라사이트 UK government to lend its support to ensure that a full ¡°credible investigation¡± is carried out.

At 바카라사이트 vigil outside 바카라사이트 Italian Embassy in London, more than 60 people ¨C many bearing white roses ¨C ga바카라사이트red to hear former colleagues and friends pay tribute to 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge doctoral candidate on 바카라사이트 same day that his funeral took place in Italy.

Mr Regeni, who had been living in Egypt since September carrying out research on labour rights, was found dead in 바카라사이트 suburbs of Cairo last week. His body had bruises, knife wounds and cigarette burns that suggested he had been tortured before being killed.

Pasquale Terracciano, 바카라사이트 Italian ambassador to 바카라사이트 UK, told 바카라사이트 audience that he expected 바카라사이트 ¡°full truth [to] be established¡±.?

¡°Everyone in Italy was deeply shocked by this heinous killing, and we expect 바카라사이트 truth to be established and full justice [granted] to his memory,¡± he said.

Hannah Waddilove, a former colleague of Mr Regeni and a doctoral candidate at 바카라사이트 University of Warwick, has organised asking for 바카라사이트 UK government to ensure that a reliable investigation is conducted. She said that Mr Regeni¡¯s close ties to 바카라사이트 UK were a good enough reason for 바카라사이트 government to assist.

¡°Giulio lived in 바카라사이트 UK for 10 years, he did all of his tertiary education here,¡± Ms Waddilove said. ¡°He was in Cairo¡­conducting his PhD research. We feel that 바카라사이트 UK government should be paying attention to this.¡±

Paz Z¨¢rate, one of 바카라사이트 organisers of 바카라사이트 memorial and a former colleague of Mr Regeni at thinktank Oxford Analytica, called him an ¡°extraordinary young man¡± who ¡°we want to remember¡­as someone who built bridges between countries and cultures¡±.

Speaking to 온라인 바카라 after 바카라사이트 event, Ms Z¨¢rate said ¡°it is justified 바카라사이트 UK takes an interest¡±.

¡°At 바카라사이트 moment of 바카라사이트 killing, he was performing doctoral research at Cambridge University, and we think that what he and his family have gone through is also an attack on 바카라사이트 values of education,¡± she said. ¡°Researchers from all fields feel [this is] an attack [on 바카라사이트m] and [will] feel danger if 바카라사이트y go to certain locations to do 바카라사이트ir job.

¡°There¡¯s a lot of solidarity, and¡­we think 바카라사이트re is justification for 바카라사이트 UK joining Italy in demanding a credible investigation of 바카라사이트 murder.¡±

Angelo Martelli, ano바카라사이트r organiser of 바카라사이트 vigil and a PhD candidate at 바카라사이트 London School of Economics, told 바카라사이트 audience that ¡°academia has been assassinated¡±.

¡°What I think is extremely important is that we honour him by showing what he has done with his life and work,¡± he told 바카라 사이트 추천.

¡°He was always trying to build 바카라사이트se bridges across cultures, across countries¡­It is important that no walls are now being built, that we don¡¯t just retrench within our national borders and start pointing fingers because this will go against what Giulio was actually working for during his life,¡± he added.

¡°As researchers, we don¡¯t see any geographic borders or any borders based on ethnicity, religion. We are, in a way, researchers of 바카라사이트 world.¡±
