(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 19 - A Palestinian former prisoner in the
same Cairo secret police facility as Giulio Regeni said in a
video shown at the Rome trial in absentia of four Egyptian
intelligence officers accused of torturing to death the Italian
student that he had "seen Giulio blindfolded and exhausted by
the torture".
"Giulio Regeni was handcuffed with his hands behind his back,
blindfolded," said the former detainee in a video of a
documentary broadcast by Al Jazeera, and shown in the courtroom
Tuesday.
"I saw him again as he was leaving the interrogation, exhausted
by torture. He was between two jailers who were carrying him on
their shoulders. They were taking him back to the cells".
Regeni, 28, a Cambridge university doctoral researcher into
Cairo street unions, was allegedly tortured to death between
February 25 and February 3 2016 after Egyptian security officers
decided he was a spy. (ANSA).
