An Italian journalist, Cecilia Sala, has been under arrest in Iran for more than a week, with no reason given for her arrest. Italy's government has been working with Iranian authorities to clarify her legal situation and conditions of detention. Sala is being held in solitary confinement in Tehran's Evin prison. It is unclear whether her arrest is linked to tensions between Rome and Tehran after the arrest of two Iranian nationals in Italy at Washington's request. The Italian ambassador to Iran has visited Sala in prison, and she has been in contact with her family.
