On December 19, 2024, the Italian journalist Cecilia Sala was arrested in Iran; the judicial system has still not given a specific accusation, only stating that Cecilia has been arrested for "violating the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran" and is "in solitary confinement". in Evin prison.
They want to turn her into Mohammad Abedini, who was arrested in Milan on December 16 (three days before Chechila's arrest) on charges of evading sanctions and smuggling spare parts for Iranian drones. This is not the first time that the Islamic Republic has taken civilians hostage and exchanged them for its terrorists abroad.
The first such case occurred in 1979, immediately after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, when Islamists occupied the American embassy in Iran, took 66 diplomats hostage and demanded that they be exchanged for the cancer-stricken Shah of Iran, who was in a hospital in the United States, then US President Jimmy Carter expelled the Shah from the United States.
Another example is the exchange of Hamid Nouri, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in Sweden for his involvement in the illegal executions of political prisoners in Iran, for the Swedish diplomat Johan Floderos. Or when Asadollah Asadi, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for preparing a terrorist attack in Belgium, was exchanged for the Belgian rescuer Olivier Vandecastelle.
