In respect to the recent killing of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman, who died after being detained for defying Iran’s strict orders on dress codes, and the protest that has lasted for more than 100 days.
The Italy’s foreign minister, Antonio Tajani has invited Iran’s new ambassador to Rome, Mohammed Reza Saburi, to express worries over the Middle Eastern country and the vain efforts of the government in quelling the crises.
The death of Amini had sparked a national insurrection that has led to the death of more than hundred persons, while a many others have been left injured and detained.
The New Ambassador to Rome is also expected to explain why the Islamic Republic has declared a total clampdown on protesters in which two people have been executed.
Italy summoned Saburi on Wednesday as Iran’s widespread protests defied the government’s measures to quell it, according to Al Jazeera.
Conveying Italy’s “indignation and worry” over the crackdown, Tajani said he hopes that Iran will respond “positively to Italy’s request.”
The deadly crackdown, he said “has nothing to do with protecting the national security of the country.”
The minister also said Italy was requesting that Tehran suspend the death penalty in associated with the protests and immediately stop the executions of prisoners held over the demonstrations.
Iran has been hit by mass protests since mid-September against the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman.
Amini died after being detained by the country’s morality police for allegedly violating Iran’s strict dress code for women.
