16:30 - Welcome and Introduction
17:00 - Film Screening ('96) “Giulio Regeni: All the Evil in the World” is the firs t documentary to reconstruct the judicial truth surrounding the abduction, torture, and murder of the Italian researcher, whose body was found near Cairo on 3 February 2016.

For the first time, Giulio’s story is to ld by his parents, Claudio Regeni and Paola Deffendi, who have fought tire lessly to uncover the truth about what happened to their son. The document ary also features the testimony from Alessandra Ballerini, the lawyer who has assisted them throughout their long legal battle, which eventually led to the trial in Italy of four members of Egypt’s National Security Agency .

Giulio Regeni was a 28-year-old Italian PhD researcher at the Un iversity of Cambridge conducting fieldwork in Cairo on independent trade u nions. He disappeared on 25 January 2016, and his body was found on 3 Febr uary, bearing extensive signs of torture. Italian investigations establish ed that Regeni had come to the attention of the Egyptian security apparatu s before his disappearance and eventually led to the prosecution of four m embers of Egypt’s National Security Agency for their alleged involvement i n his abduction, torture, and killing.

The Egyptian authorities ha ve denied state responsibility, while their lack of effective cooperation has repeatedly hindered efforts to establish the full truth. At the same t ime, successive Italian governments have been criticised by Regeni’s famil y and human rights organisations for maintaining and strengthening diploma tic, economic, and military relations with Egypt despite the lack of subst antial progress in the case. Italy recalled its ambassador from Cairo in 2 016, but restored full diplomatic representation the following year.

Ten years after Giulio’s death, his story therefore remains not only a demand for truth and justice for him and his family but also a wider quest ion of human rights, state accountability, and the fight against impunity. Keeping attention focused on his case means insisting that political, dip lomatic, and economic interests should never take precedence over the sear ch for truth and justice.
