Three Egyptian Officials Convicted of Kidnapping Giulio Regeni

Three Egyptian security officials have been convicted in absentia over the kidnapping of Giulio Regeni, the Italian Cambridge University student found tortured and killed near Cairo in 2016. The verdict, handed down by an Italian court, is seen by human rights advocates as a rare step toward accountability, though none of the convicted men is likely to be extradited or serve prison time.
Why now: The long-awaited verdict marks the first criminal accountability over a case that severely strained Italy-Egypt relations.
