A tribute to Giulio Regeni
Dear colleagues
Giulio Regeni, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge and a visiting researcher at the American University in Cairo was found dead in Cairo, after having disappeared for eight days since January 25 2016. His body had been tortured.
Giulio Regeni was conducting fieldwork research on the local economy and the independent trade unions in Egypt.
A journalist from Il Manifesto revealed that Giulio occasionally contributed articles to the newspaper using a pseudonym.
His last article has now been published in his name and we share it with you as a tribute to his work on participation and democracy
