Cecilia Sala (Italian pronunciation: [tʃeˈtʃiːlja ˈsaːla]; born 26 July 1995 in Rome) is an Italian journalist, specialized in political and war journalism, both as author and war correspondent.

Biography

Sala was born on 26 July 1995 in Rome. Her father is Renato Sala, an independent director of the Italian bank Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena.

In 2015, she started working as a correspondent and reporter for Vice, then as a professional journalist for the La7 TV program Servizio pubblico [it] in 2016. She later wrote for L'Espresso and Vanity Fair, among others, and she also worked for RAI, Fremantle Media and the La7 TV program Otto e mezzo [it].

Since 2019, Sala works for Il Foglio; she also writes for the Huffington Post, Mondadori, and the podcast company Chora Media.

Working for Il Foglio, she reported as foreign correspondent from Venezuela and Chile, among others, as well as war correspondent from Afghanistan (2021 Taliban offensive) and Ukraine (Russo-Ukrainian War). She also reported from Iran, both before and during the 2024 Iran–Israel conflict.

Detention in Iran

On 19 December 2024, while in Iran on a journalist visa, she was arrested in Tehran and put in solitary confinement in Evin Prison. This became known only on 27 December. On 30 December, Iran's Ministry of Culture finally confirmed that they had arrested her for "violating the laws of the Islamic Republic".

Her arrest came three days after Italy arrested Iranian engineer Mohammad Abedini Najafabadi at Milan Malpensa Airport at the request of the United States, which accused him, together with an accomplice arrested in the country, of conspiring to circumvent embargoes and supplying sophisticated electronic components from the United States to Iran. Abedini is also accused of giving material support to Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the United States—allegedly contributing to a drone attack on a US military base in Jordan that killed three American troops.

On 3 January 2025, Iran reportedly asked for a prisoner swap.
