Alessia Piperno: “It’s been a tough 45 days, but I haven’t been mistreated”

“It’s been a tough 45 days.” Alessia Piperno, the 30-year-old Roman travel blogger who was released yesterday after more than a month of detention in Iran, to the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, who was waiting for her at Ciampino airport, explained: “I spent my detention in a cell with six people, it was difficult but I was not mistreated», The 30-year-old told the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, who greeted her at Ciampino airport.

Alessia Piperno, according to the reconstructions of the news agencies, was delivered to the officials of the Italian embassy in Tehran directly at the airport. AND, on the plane, he first called his parents in Italy. In addition to her mother and father, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was also waiting for the young woman at the airport.

The liberation came after a work of over a month. Alessia Piperno, after being arrested in Tehran at the end of September, had been transferred in Evin Prison and had been placed in a cell with another woman. The Italian diplomacy would have continuously monitored her conditions and the treatment reserved for her in the cell. Tehran responded positively to Italy’s diplomatic work, also because, in the difficult international situation, it would not have been appropriate to create friction with other countries.

In the early stages of detention, the family was very worried. The father had heard the girl’s desperation on the phone: “It was she who, crying, warned us that she was in prison. In Tehran. In Iran. She had been arrested by the police along with her friends as she was preparing to celebrate her birthday. It was just a few words but desperate. She was asking for help. ”

Of his daughter, father Alberto says: “She is a lonely traveler, she travels the world to learn about customs and traditions of peoples. She has always adapted and respected the traditions and, in some cases, the obligations of each country she has visited ».
