The Case of Mohammad Abedini Najafabadi
This morning, shortly after 9, was a day of great anticipation for Mohammad Abedini Najafabadi, the Iranian engineer arrested in Malpensa last December 16. His detention had occurred at the request of the US authorities, who had urged his extradition. The news of his release has sparked a wave of reactions, not only in Italy but also in Iran, where his family has followed the developments of the story with apprehension.
The revocation of the precautionary measure
Najafabadi's release followed a request to revoke the precautionary measure, signed by Justice Minister Carlo Nordio. This decision prompted an immediate emergency meeting by the Fifth Court of Appeal, which examined the case urgently. Najafabadi's lawyers had filed an appeal, arguing that his detention was unjustified and that there were no valid reasons to proceed with extradition.
The return home
As soon as he was released, Najafabadi was finally able to return home. According to the latest information, he has already taken off for Tehran, where his family is waiting for him. His release represents an important step forward in his legal battle and a positive signal for those who oppose the extradition of Iranian citizens. Najafabadi's case has raised questions about the cooperation between Italy and the United States on justice and human rights, and has highlighted the complexities of international relations.
