Ilaria Salis wrote that a procedural flaw, possibly intentional, had prevented her from participating in the first-instance trial and exercising her right to defense. She argued that, being absent without fault and bearing the burden of proof, the judge had found himself effectively compelled to proceed in that manner. Salis rejected the definition of mere formality and stated that dismissing the matter meant minimizing a serious violation of a fundamental right. She also criticized the right, calling it authoritarian and overbearing, and wrote that for her it was the beginning of "a whole different story." #Giustizia #DirittiUmani #ProcessoGiusto (translated)
