Approximately 60 activists gathered Saturday in front of the Italian embassy in Garden City to commemorate the life of the University of Cambridge PhD candidate and Italian national, Giulio Regeni who was found dead in Cairo on Wednesday.
Mourners placed flowers and candles in front of the embassy in memoriam, carrying signs in support of Regeni and his family. Regeni had been missing since 25 January, before his body was found, bearing signs of beating on it.
