Rome, 13 January (LaPresse) – "We are very happy today, but our happiness comes at a very high price. The suffering of these endless 423 days cannot be erased. From now on, we need to live peaceful and constructive days to try to erase the bad memories and overcome the suffering of these 14 months. Thank you to all the people who have been close to us in so many different ways, even silently, but effectively. Now we ask you to respect our desire to spend some time together, away from the clamour of these days, so that we can face the future of freedom that awaits us with peace of mind and enthusiasm'. These were the words of Alberto Trentini's lawyer, Alessandra Ballerini, who read a statement agreed with the aid worker's family at Ciampino airport, where the 46-year-old landed this morning after his release. ‘Our thoughts go out to all those still detained and their families, so that they too may soon share in the joy of liberation. Solidarity, both inside and outside prison, is our salvation. Thank you all so much, he is well, let's go home,’ concluded the lawyer.
