Murder of Giulio Regeni

Years: 2016 - 2016

Giulio Regeni (January 15, 1988 – January 25,  2016) is an Italian Cambridge University graduate who is abducted and tortured to death in Egypt.

Regeni was a PhD student at Girton College, Cambridge, researching Egypt's independent trade unions, as well as a former employee of the international consulting firm Oxford Analytica.

He grew up in Fiumicello, a former comune (now Fiumicello Villa Vicentina) in the province of Udine in Northeastern Italy.
