July 29, 2021 "I will fight until I return to study in Bologna".

This was stated by Patrick Zaki in a letter to his girlfriend published by the social page 'Patrick Libero' and delivered to the family during a visit to the Egyptian prison where the student is being held.

"My investigation has resumed, which could mean that one day I will go to court and have a trial and this is much worse than I expected. After a year and a half, I couldn't help but think that I will soon have my freedom. , but now it's clear that it won't happen anytime soon, "he says again.



"In our wildest dreams - writes the student - we could never have imagined a scenario like this, since I left for Bologna we have made so many projects, that you came to visit me to tour Italy together. It makes me extremely sad that it won't happen, my situation is getting worse every day. "



For Riccardo Noury, spokesperson for Amnesty International Italia, "it is one of the most important messages in this now and a half year of illegal detention. It is a message that has not been frequent in these 18 months, which looks to the future, which again thinks in Bologna as the point where Patrick's life was interrupted and from which he wants to resume it. It is a great encouragement for all of us, it is the message of a person determined to resist until he returns to the place chosen to study and to to live".
