Italian journalist returns to Rome after being freed from Iranian jail

An Italian journalist has returned to Rome after spending weeks in an Iranian jail.
 
Cecilia Sala was arrested on December 19, three days after an Iranian engineer was detained by Italian authorities in Milan on suspicion of supplying drone technology that led to the deaths of US soldiers.
 
Reports said she had been held in solitary confinement in Tehran's notorious Evin prison.
 
She was greeted by her partner as she left the plane at Rome's Ciampino airport before being welcomed home by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is understood to have taken personal charge of her case.
