Cecilia Sala, a 29-year-old Italian journalist, has been released after nearly three weeks in custody in Iran, where she faced accusations of violating media laws. The Italian government confirmed her release, stating she is en route back to Italy. Her detention became intertwined with the case of Iranian Mohammad Abedini-Nadschafabad, who was arrested in Milan before Sala. Reports suggest Sala’s detention may have been leveraged to negotiate Abedini’s release.
