It was a lucky day and year for this Italian journalist who was released from the Iranian jail. She returned to her beloved country after spending weeks in an Iranian jail. Cecilia Sala, 29, was arrested on 19 December, three days after an Iranian engineer was detained by Italian authorities in Milan on suspicion of supplying drone technology that led to the deaths of US soldiers. She was confined in a solitary confinement in Tehran's notorious Evin prison.
She was greeted by her partner as she left the plane at Rome's Ciampino airport before being welcomed home by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is understood to have taken personal charge of her case. The head of Italy's foreign intelligence service, Giovanni Caravelli, is said to have travelled to Tehran personally to bring Sala back to Italy. Her father Renato Sala told Ansa he was proud of her and praised the government for an "exceptional job".

Thank God for her that she was able to survive and come out alive. Am sure she must have been through a lot in that prison.

She told the press that she was jailed in a solitary detention center with notorious criminals. She was indeed lucky for having returned home in Italy safe .
