Kurdish activist Maysoon Majidi, accused of people smuggling, was jailed in Italy; her case is dismissed soon.

Kurdish activist Maysoon Majidi, who fled Iran, was arrested upon arriving in Italy last December and jailed for 10 months on people smuggling charges. Her supporters, including Amnesty International, argue she was wrongfully accused and that her detention reflects Italy's crackdown on migration under the current government. Majidi hopes to join her brother in Germany after her case is dismissed on November 27.
