31 August 2023

The extradition from Pakistan of Saman Abbas’s father, who is accused in Italy of savagely murdering his daughter Saman, is an important step forward in allowing justice to take its course. This is the result of the great and unwavering determination that all Italian authorities have shown in this delicate and complex case. Determination, hard work and commitment have paid off, now enabling us, together with the cooperation shown by the Pakistani authorities, to achieve this significant objective.
