10 years without Giulio - In Memory of Giulio Regeni

In Memory of Giulio Regeni
On January 25, 2016, Giulio Regeni, an Italian PhD student at the University of Cambridge, disappeared in Cairo while conducting research on independent Egyptian trade unions. His body was found on February 3 along the road leading to Alexandria, bearing clear signs of torture.
Since then, a complex judicial and diplomatic affair has unfolded: contradictory reconstructions, obstacles to the investigations, and a lack of cooperation from part of the Egyptian authorities have, over the years, prevented the uncovering of the truth about what happened and why.
Giulio’s case does not concern only a family seeking answers. It concerns the right to truth and justice, the protection of researchers, and the value of academic freedom. The people and institutions calling for truth for Giulio defend the idea that no one—student, worker, or activist—should be left without protection when operating in difficult contexts, and they reaffirm that human rights are not negotiable.
To demand truth also means strongly affirming that progress in academic, civic, and political life can only be built through freedom of research and of speech.
Today, ten years after Giulio’s disappearance, we invite the citizens of London to a moment of remembrance and civic engagement, to keep attention alive on a story that continues to challenge the public conscience.
The plan for the 25th is to walk from Audley Street, near the Embassy of Egypt, to Grosvenor Square, in front of the Embassy of Italy, where we are going to have a minute of silence at 6.41pm -time of Giulio's last message. We hope to see you there.

In memoria di Giulio Regeni
Il 25 gennaio 2016, Giulio Regeni, dottorando italiano dell’Università di Cambridge, scomparve al Cairo mentre conduceva una ricerca sui sindacati indipendenti egiziani. Il suo corpo fu ritrovato il 3 febbraio lungo la strada che porta ad Alessandria, con evidenti segni di tortura.
Da allora ha avuto luogo una complessa vicenda giudiziaria e diplomatica: ricostruzioni contraddittorie, ostacoli nelle indagini e mancate collaborazioni da parte delle autorità egiziane hanno impedito, negli anni, di arrivare a una verità completa e condivisa su quanto accaduto.
Il caso di Giulio non riguarda soltanto una famiglia in cerca di risposte. Riguarda il diritto alla verità e alla giustizia, la tutela dei ricercatori sul campo e il valore della libertà accademica. Le persone e le istituzioni che chiedono verità per Giulio difendono l’idea che nessuno - studente, lavoratore, attivista - debba essere lasciato senza protezione quando opera in contesti difficili e ribadiscono che i diritti umani non sono negoziabili.
Chiedere verità significa anche sostenere con forza che il progresso, nella vita accademica, civile e politica, si costruisce solo attraverso la libertà di ricerca e di parola.
Oggi, a dieci anni dalla scomparsa di Giulio, Invitiamo i cittadini di Londra a un momento di ricordo e impegno civile, per mantenere viva l’attenzione su una storia che continua a interrogare la coscienza pubblica.
Il piano per il 25 è di camminare da Audley Street, vicino all’Ambasciata d’Egitto, fino a Grosvenor Square, davanti all’Ambasciata d’Italia, dove osserveremo un minuto di silenzio alle 18:41 - l’ora dell’ultimo messaggio di Giulio. Speriamo di vedervi lì.
