(ANSA) - ROME, 08 JAN - "Iran has crossed the red line, the point of no return, by starting to carry out death sentences. Italy is against the death penalty".
So Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on SkyTg24 speaking of sentences "disproportionate to the crimes committed: taking life is unacceptable especially if it is done in the name of God".
"I summoned the ambassador and asked him to send a message to Tehran blocking the death sentences. It seems to me that the answer that has arrived informally goes to the opposite position. We hope that "Tehran will change its position", concluded the minister. (ANSA).
