Alberto Trentini, a young NGO worker
from Venezia who has been detained in Venezuela since November,
is in good health according to "conclusive evidence", qualified
sources told ANSA on Thursday.
Trentini travelled to Venezuela on October 17 for a mission with
the NGO Humanity and Inclusion.
On November 15, while he was travelling from Caracas to
Guasladito, he was arrested at a checkpoint.
The NGO worker's family have mobilized to demand his release.
A note issued last month by the family and attorney Alessandra
Ballerini in particular asked the cabinet to "open a
constructive dialogue with Venezuelan authorities to bring
Alberto back home and guarantee his safety".
"The few and informal reports we have received appear to
indicate that, a few days after his arrest, Alberto was
transferred to Caracas", where he is currently detained,
allegedly without having been charged, the family said.
They also said the young NGO worker has a health condition.
Earlier this week, the parents of Giulio Regeni, the 28-year-old
Friuli-born Cambridge University doctoral researcher into Caito
street unions, who was allegedly abducted and tortured to death
by Egyptian officials in January-February 2016, also issued an
appeal for Trentini's release.
Claudio Regeni and Claudia Deffendi urged the government to step
in "because too much time has gone by" since Trentini's arrest.
